This device consists of two independent low
power voltage comparators designed specifically
to operate from a single supply over a wide range
of voltages. Oper ation from split pow er supplies is
also possible.
These comparators also have a unique
characteristic: the input common-mode voltage
range includes the negative rail even though
operated from a single power supply voltage.

1. Short-circuits from the output to V
maximum output current is approximately 20 mA, independent of the magnitude of V
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 200pF 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.
