Texas Instruments Low Power Dual SMD Comparator, SOIC-8

The Texas Instruments Low Power Dual Comparator is designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages, while also supporting operation from split power supplies. It features a low offset voltage specification of as little as 2mV maximum for both comparators. The low power supply current drain remains independent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage, making it highly efficient for various electronic designs.

A unique characteristic of this device is that the input common-mode voltage range includes ground, even when operated from a single power supply voltage. Additionally, the differential input voltage range is equal to the power supply voltage, offering excellent flexibility for circuit design.
