TLC3704IDR

Comparators Overview

The TLC3704IDR is a quad micropower voltage comparator manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 14-pin SOIC package. It features push-pull outputs and operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 3 V to 16 V. The device draws a typical operating current of 35 µA per channel. Key electrical specifications include a maximum input offset voltage of 5 mV, an input bias current of 30 pA, and a response time of 1.1 µs. Each output can source or sink up to 20 mA. The component supports differential inputs and functions within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Quad configuration with independent channels for multi-signal processing
• Micropower consumption suitable for battery-operated applications
• Push-pull output stage providing direct interface to digital logic
• Wide single-supply voltage operation capability

Comparators Applications

• Battery-powered monitoring systems
• Threshold detection circuits
• Simple analog-to-digital conversion interfaces
• Over-voltage protection schemes

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDR confirms the SOIC-14 surface-mount package and tape-and-reel shipping format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's official documentation. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to validate electrical parameters against design specifications.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when low quiescent current is critical alongside the need for rail-to-rail compatible digital interfacing via push-pull outputs. Consider the 1.1 µs response time for speed requirements. Evaluate the 5 mV input offset voltage tolerance against signal accuracy needs. Compare power dissipation limits against available thermal management options in the final enclosure design.

Comparators Part Context

This part belongs to the TLC3704 series of LinCMOS voltage comparators. It serves as a general-purpose analog comparator solution designed for cost-sensitive and power-constrained environments. The family offers multiple package options including TSSOP and DIP variants to accommodate different PCB layout constraints while maintaining consistent electrical performance characteristics across the series.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

The TS3704IDT from STMicroelectronics is documented as a similar alternative. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution. Check for any differences in supply voltage ranges or output drive capabilities that may impact circuit functionality.
