AD8468WBKSZ-RL

Overview

The AD8468WBKSZ-RL is a single-channel, rail-to-rail analog comparator from Analog Devices. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V and features TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs. The device provides a propagation delay of 30 ns to 60 ns depending on the supply voltage and overdrive conditions. It includes a dedicated shutdown pin for power management and is qualified for automotive applications. The component is housed in a 6-lead SC-70 package.

Feature Summary

• Rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending beyond supply rails
• TTL- and CMOS-compatible output stage with low glitch characteristics
• Integrated shutdown control pin for active power reduction
• Automotive qualification for high reliability environments

Applications

• Automotive electronic systems
• High-speed instrumentation circuits
• Clock and data signal restoration
• Logic level shifting or translation
• Threshold detection and peak detectors

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the Z designation in the part number. Ensure the automotive grade specification aligns with target application requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fast response time with low power consumption is required in space-constrained designs. The wide input common-mode range allows operation with signals exceeding the positive supply rail. Consider the 6-lead SC-70 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This model belongs to the AD8468 series of fast, low-power comparators. It shares functional similarities with other members of the family but is distinguished by its specific packaging and automotive qualification status. The series is designed for applications requiring precise threshold detection with minimal power overhead.

Replacement Considerations

The AD8468WBKSZ-R7 is a verified substitute offering identical electrical specifications and functionality. Both variants utilize the same 6-lead SC-70 package and support the same operating temperature range.
