Description
These devices consist of two independent low
voltage comparators designed specifically to
operate from a single supply over a wide range of
voltages. Operation from split power supplies is
also possible.
These comparators also have a unique
characteristic in that the input common-mode
voltage range includes ground 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 V

1. Short-circuits from the output to V
CC+
can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. The
maximum output current is approximately 20mA independent of the magnitude of V
CC+
.
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
1.5kΩ 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.

from 5 V to 30 V, and over the full common-mode
range (0 V to V
CC+
-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 there is no loading charge on the reference of input
lines.
3. The input common-mode voltage of either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go negative by
more than 0.3 V. The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is V
CC+
-1.5 V, but either or both
inputs can go to +30 V without damage.
4. 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).
5. The response time specified is for a 100 mV input step with 5 mV overdrive. For larger overdrive signals
300 ns can be obtained.
