TLC3702IPWR

Comparators Overview

The TLC3702IPWR is a dual micropower voltage comparator utilizing Texas Instruments' LinCMOS process. It operates from a single supply of 3 V to 16 V and features push-pull CMOS outputs capable of driving capacitive loads directly without pullup resistors, with output currents up to ±8 mA. The device includes two independent comparators characterized for the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to 85°C. Key electrical specifications include a maximum input offset voltage of 7 mV across the operating temperature range, typical propagation delays of 2.7 μs at 5-mV overdrive, and low power consumption.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Push-pull CMOS output stage drives capacitive loads directly without requiring external pullup resistors
• LinCMOS process provides extremely stable input offset voltages with large differential input voltages
• On-chip ESD protection circuitry withstands multiple high-voltage pulses while minimizing leakage currents

Comparators Applications

• Signal conditioning circuits compatible with modern HCMOS logic systems
• Threshold detection applications requiring low power dissipation
• Voltage monitoring in single-supply electronic designs

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'PWR' corresponds to the 8-pin TSSOP package and the 'I' suffix indicates the −40°C to 85°C industrial temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component matches the specific pinout configuration for surface-mount assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet revision date to validate parameter accuracy.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements demand low quiescent current alongside fast response times comparable to bipolar comparators. The push-pull output eliminates the need for external pullup components, reducing board space and cost. Ensure the application operates within the specified single-supply voltage range and does not require negative supply operation.

Comparators Part Context

This device belongs to the TLC3702 family of dual micropower voltage comparators. It is functionally similar to the LM339 but utilizes one-twentieth of the power for similar response times. The family includes variants such as the TLC3702C for commercial temperatures and the TLC3702M for military ranges, all sharing the same core LinCMOS architecture.

Comparators FAQ

How does the push-pull output stage differ from open-collector comparators?

Unlike open-collector devices, the push-pull CMOS output can actively drive both high and low states, allowing it to drive capacitive loads directly without an external pullup resistor.

What is the common-mode input voltage range?

The common-mode input voltage range extends from ground (0 V) to VDD minus 1.5 V under standard operating conditions.
