Texas Instruments LM211D High Speed Comparator, SOIC, 8 Pins

The LM211D from Texas Instruments is a single high-speed voltage comparator designed for versatile power supply operation, accommodating everything from ±15V operational amplifier supplies down to 5V logic systems. Its output levels are compatible with most TTL and MOS circuits, making it a flexible choice for mixed-signal environments.

This comparator is capable of driving lamps or relays, switching voltages up to 50V at 50mA. All inputs and outputs can be isolated from system ground, and outputs can drive loads referenced to ground, VCC+, or VCC-. With offset balancing and strobe capabilities, the device offers precise control; when the strobe is low, the output is forced off regardless of the differential input. Outputs can also be wire-OR connected for enhanced design flexibility.

The LM211D features high reliability, configuration control, and print support, and is a green product with no antimony or bromine. Its response time is 165ns, and it operates over a supply voltage range of 3.5V to 30V. Housed in an SOIC package with 8 pins, this surface-mount comparator is designed for a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.
