The TS3704IN from STMicroelectronics is a high-functioning, low-power quad CMOS voltage comparator designed to operate over a wide range of power supplies, from 2.7V to 16V. This device is optimized for low-voltage, low-power applications, making it an ideal choice for battery-operated systems.
The TS3704IN boasts a typical low supply current of 20µA per comparator, which is significantly lower than the current drawn by bipolar comparators. This low consumption is coupled with a high input impedance, making it an excellent choice for applications where power efficiency is crucial.
With a wide range of operating temperatures from -40°C to +125°C, the TS3704IN ensures reliable performance in diverse environments. Each of the four independent comparators is designed to operate with a single or dual supply voltage, providing flexibility in various circuit configurations.
Key features of the TS3704IN include:
- Very low supply current: 20µA/comparator (typical)
- Wide single supply range 2.7V to 16V or dual supplies (±1.35V to ±8V)
- Low input bias current: 1pA typical
- Low input offset current: ±1pA typical
- Low input offset voltage: ±1mV typical
- Input common-mode voltage range includes ground
- Low output saturation voltage
- Output compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS
The device is presented in a standard 14-pin DIP package, which is suitable for a wide array of applications, including limit comparators, simple analog to digital converters, pulse, square wave and time delay generators, wide range VCO, MOS clock timers, multivibrators, and high voltage logic gates.
The TS3704IN is a testament to STMicroelectronics' commitment to providing energy-efficient and versatile components for the electronics industry. Whether for industrial, automotive, consumer, or computing applications, the TS3704IN brings a balance of performance, power efficiency, and robustness to any design.
