TLC3702MD

Comparators Overview

The TLC3702MD is a dual micropower voltage comparator utilizing Texas Instruments' LinCMOS technology. It operates from a single supply ranging from 4 V to 16 V and features push-pull CMOS outputs capable of driving capacitive loads directly without pullup resistors, delivering ±8 mA output current. The device includes on-chip ESD protection and offers fast response times with low power consumption. Characterized for the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, it provides high input impedance and extremely stable input offset voltages.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Push-pull CMOS output stage drives capacitive loads directly without requiring external pullup resistors
• LinCMOS process ensures superior analog performance with extremely stable input offset voltages
• On-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection safeguards against gate oxide breakdown

Comparators Applications

• Single-supply operation compatible with modern HCMOS logic systems
• Applications requiring low power dissipation and board space savings
• Circuits needing direct drive capability for TTL requirements

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' confirms the full military temperature rating (-55°C to 125°C). Ensure the package type matches the required footprint, as the standard MD designation typically refers to the small outline package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when full military temperature stability is required alongside micropower efficiency. The LinCMOS process provides better analog performance than standard CMOS while maintaining low bias currents. Consider the 4 V minimum supply requirement, which differs from commercial variants that support lower voltages.

Comparators Part Context

This device belongs to the TLC3702 family of dual comparators. It shares functional similarities with the LM339 but utilizes significantly less power for comparable response times. The 'M' suffix specifically denotes the extended temperature range variant within the broader product line.
