LM111/LM211/LM311
Voltage Comparator
1.0 General Description
The LM111, LM211 and LM311 are voltage comparators that have input currents nearly a thousand times lower than devices like the LM106 or LM710. They are also designed to operate over a wider range of supply voltages: from standard
±15V op amp supplies down to the single 5V supply used for IC logic. Their output is compatible with RTL, DTL and TTL as well as MOS circuits. Further, they can drive lamps or relays, switching voltages up to 50V at currents as high as 50 mA.
Both the inputs and the outputs of the LM111, LM211 or the LM311 can be isolated from system ground, and the output can drive loads referred to ground, the positive supply or the negative supply. Offset balancing and strobe capability are provided and outputs can be wire OR'ed. Although slower than the LM106 and LM710 (200 ns response time vs 40 ns)
the devices are also much less prone to spurious oscillations. The LM111 has the same pin configuration as the LM106 and LM710.
The LM211 is identical to the LM111, except that its performance is specified over a −25ÊC to +85ÊC temperature range instead of −55ÊC to +125ÊC. The LM311 has a temperature range of 0ÊC to +70ÊC.

Note 4: This rating applies for ±15 supplies. The positive input voltage limit is 30V above the negative supply. The negative input voltage limit is equal to the negative supply voltage or 30V below the positive supply, whichever is less.
Note 5: The maximum junction temperature of the LM111 is 150ÊC, while that of the LM211 is 110ÊC. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the H08 package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 165ÊC/W, junction to ambient, or 20ÊC/W, junction to case. The thermal resistance of the dual- in-line package is 110ÊC/W, junction to ambient.
Note 6: These specifications apply for VS=±15V and Ground pin at ground, and −55ÊC ≤TA≤+125ÊC, unless otherwise stated. With the LM211, however, all temperature specifications are limited to −25ÊC ≤TA≤+85ÊC. The offset voltage, offset current and bias current specifications apply for any supply voltage from a single 5V supply up to ±15V supplies.
Note 7: The offset voltages and offset currents given are the maximum values required to drive the output within a volt of either supply with a 1 mA load. Thus, these parameters define an error band and take into account the worst-case effects of voltage gain and RS.
Note 8: The response time specified (see definitions) is for a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive.
Note 9: This specification gives the range of current which must be drawn from the strobe pin to ensure the output is properly disabled. Do not short the strobe pin to ground; it should be current driven at 3 to 5 mA.
Note 10: Refer to RETS111X for the LM111H, LM111J and LM111J-8 military specifications.
Note 11: Human body model, 1.5 kΩ in series with 100 pF.

Note 12: ªAbsolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits.º
Note 13: This rating applies for ±15V supplies. The positive input voltage limit is 30V above the negative supply. The negative input voltage limit is equal to the negative supply voltage or 30V below the positive supply, whichever is less.
Note 14: The maximum junction temperature of the LM311 is 110ÊC. For operating at elevated temperature, devices in the H08 package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 165ÊC/W, junction to ambient, or 20ÊC/W, junction to case. The thermal resistance of the dual-in-line package is 100ÊC/W, jun ction to ambient.
Note 15: These specifications apply for VS=±15V and Pin 1 at ground, and 0ÊC +70ÊC, unless otherwise specified. The offset voltage, offset current and bias current specifications apply for any supply voltage from a single 5V supply up to ±15V supplies.
