■Very low supply current (0.4 mA) independent of supply voltage (1 mW/comparator at +5 V)

■Low input bias current: 25 nA typ.

■Low input offset current: ±5 nA typ.

■Input common-mode voltage range includes negative rail

■Low output saturation voltage: 250 mV typ. (IO = 4 mA)

■Differential input voltage range equal to the supply voltage

■TTL, DTL, ECL, MOS, CMOS compatible outputs

■ESD internal protection: 2 kV

Description

This device consists of two independent lowpower voltage comparators designed specifically to operate from a single supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible.

The input common-mode voltage range includes the negative rail even though operated from a single power supply voltage.

All the pins are protected against electrostatic discharge up to 2 kV. As a consequence, the input

voltages must not exceed the magnitude of VCC+ or VCC-.

1.Short-circuits from the output to VCC+ can cause excessive heating and possible destruction. The maximum output current is approximately 20 mA, independent of the magnitude of VCC+.

2.Short-circuits can cause excessive heating and destructive dissipation. Values are typical.

3.Human body model: a 100 pF capacitor is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor between two pins of the device. This is done for all couples of connected pin combinations while the other pins are floating.

4.Machine model: a 200 pF capacitor is charged to the specified voltage, then discharged directly between two pins of the device with no external series resistor (internal resistor < 5 Ω). This is done for all couples of connected pin combinations while the other pins are floating.

5.Charged device model: all pins and the package are charged together to the specified voltage and then discharged directly to the ground through only one pin. This is done for all pins.

1.At output switch point, VO ≈ 1.4 V, RS = 0 Ω with VCC+ from 5 V to 30 V, and over the full input common-mode range (0 V to VCC+ –1.5 V).

2.The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the output, so no loading charge exists on the reference of input lines.

3.Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other voltage remains within the common-mode range, the comparator will provide a proper output state. The low input voltage state must not be less than –0.3 V (or 0.3 V below the negative power supply, if used).

4.The response time specified is for a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive.

5.Maximum values are guaranteed by design and evaluation.
