TLC3702IP

Comparators Overview

The TLC3702IP is a dual micropower voltage comparator utilizing Texas Instruments' LinCMOS process. It operates on a single supply ranging from 3 V to 16 V and features push-pull CMOS outputs capable of driving capacitive loads directly without external pull-up resistors, delivering ±8 mA output current. The device includes two independent comparators with differential inputs, characterized for the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to 85°C. Key electrical specifications include a typical propagation delay of 2.7 μs at 5-mV overdrive, an input offset voltage of 5 mV, and a supply current of 40 μA.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Push-pull CMOS output stage eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors while maintaining fast response times.
• LinCMOS process provides high input impedance and extremely low bias currents for superior analog performance.
• On-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection safeguards against damage during handling and assembly.

Comparators Applications

• Signal conditioning circuits requiring low power consumption
• Interfaces compatible with HCMOS logic systems
• Battery-powered applications due to micropower characteristics

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix 'IP' corresponds to the Plastic DIP package and the extended industrial temperature rating of -40°C to 85°C. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors prior to procurement.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual comparator with push-pull outputs is required to simplify circuit design by removing pull-up resistors. It serves as a low-power alternative to bipolar comparators like the LM393, offering similar response times with significantly reduced power dissipation.

Comparators Part Context

This device belongs to the TLC3702 family of dual micropower voltage comparers. Other variants in the series include the commercial grade TLC3702C and the military grade TLC3702M, which differ primarily in their specified operating temperature ranges and maximum input offset voltage limits.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

Functionally compatible with the LM393, though the TLC3702 utilizes push-pull outputs instead of open-collector. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement meets the required temperature and voltage specifications.
