description
The TL712 is a high-speed comparator fabricated
with bipolar Schottky process technology. The
circuit has differential analog inputs and
complementary 3-state TTL-compatible logic
outputs with symmetrical switching
characteristics. When the output enable, (OE), is
low, both outputs are in the high-impedance state.
This device operates from a single 5-V supply and
is useful as a disk memory read-chain data
comparator.
The TL712 is characterized for operation from
0°C to 70°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the “recommended operating conditions” section of
this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
