Microchip Low Power Analogue Comparator, Push Pull, 1.6V to 5.5V, SOT-23, 5 Pin

The Microchip Low Power Analogue Comparator is a highly efficient push-pull output sub-microamp device designed for single configuration applications. Optimised for low-power, single-supply operation, it offers greater than rail-to-rail input operation, making it exceptionally versatile for various electronic circuits.

A standout feature of this comparator is its push-pull output, which is both CMOS and TTL compatible. This allows it to drive heavy DC or capacitive loads with ease. Furthermore, the push-pull output supports rail-to-rail output swing, ensuring seamless interfacing with TTL/CMOS logic.

Performance and Efficiency

Designed to minimise power consumption, the device operates with a single-supply voltage as low as 1.6V and draws a typical quiescent current of just 600nA per comparator. The internal input hysteresis (3.3mV typical) effectively eliminates output switching caused by internal input noise voltage, which significantly reduces current draw. Additionally, the output limits supply current surges and dynamic power consumption during switching, further enhancing its efficiency.
