TLC374MD

Comparators Overview

The Texas Instruments TLC374MD is a quad differential comparator utilizing LinCMOS technology. It operates on single or dual supplies ranging from 2 V to 18 V, with a typical supply current of 0.3 mA at 5 V. The device features an open-drain output and offers a typical response time of 0.65 µs. Packaged in a 14-pin SOIC for surface-mount installation, it supports input offset voltages as low as 5 mV and input bias currents of 20 pA. Operating temperatures extend from -55°C to +125°C.

Comparators Feature Summary

• LinCMOS technology enables low power consumption and wide voltage operation
• Quad differential configuration provides four independent comparison channels
• Open-drain output structure allows flexible interfacing with various logic families

Comparators Applications

• General-purpose analog signal comparison
• Voltage level detection circuits
• Window comparator designs

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the package marking matches TLC374M and confirm the suffix MD indicates the SOIC-14 variant. Ensure the supplier source aligns with Texas Instruments specifications for LinCMOS comparators. Check that the operating temperature range meets the required -55°C to +125°C specification for your application environment.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple independent comparisons are needed within a single package. The open-drain output requires external pull-up resistors. Consider the 0.65 µs response time for speed requirements. The wide supply voltage range suits both single and dual-rail systems.

Comparators Part Context

This part belongs to the TLC374 family of quadruple differential comparators. It shares functional similarities with other LinCMOS comparators but is distinct from digital logic devices like the SN74HC374N. The MD suffix specifically denotes the surface-mount SOIC package option.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other quad differential comparators with compatible pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that replacement parts support the same open-drain output configuration and LinCMOS input characteristics.
