UPC177G2-E1-AP

Overview

The UPC177G2-E1-AP is a quad comparator manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, utilizing CMOS process technology. It operates on a single power supply ranging from 2V to 32V or dual supplies of ±1V to ±16V. The device features four independent channels with open-collector outputs capable of sourcing up to 16mA at 5V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum input offset voltage of 2mV at 5V and a maximum operating supply current of 800µA. The input bias current is specified at 0.25µA @ 5V, with a maximum static current of 2mA. It supports a common-mode input voltage range extending to the negative supply rail (GND).

Feature Summary

• CMOS-based quad comparator design optimized for low voltage operation and fast response times.
• Open-collector output configuration allowing flexible interfacing with various logic families.
• Wide single-supply voltage range supporting operation from 2V to 32V.
• Common-mode input voltage range includes the ground potential.

Applications

• General-purpose signal comparison in low-power electronic circuits.
• Voltage monitoring systems requiring wide supply voltage tolerance.
• Interface circuits between analog sensors and digital logic inputs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E1-AP' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as indicated in manufacturer datasheets. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels vary. Cross-reference ordering numbers with Mouser or DigiKey part identifiers for accurate procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad comparator with low input offset voltage and wide supply range is required. The open-collector output necessitates external pull-up resistors for proper logic level translation. Consider the 800µA supply current for battery-operated applications where power efficiency is critical. Verify that the 16mA output drive capability meets the load requirements of the downstream circuitry.

Part Context

This part belongs to the UPC177 series of general-purpose comparators from Renesas. The series utilizes CMOS technology to achieve low power consumption while maintaining fast response characteristics. Similar parts in the lineup may offer different channel counts or packaging options, but share the core low-voltage operational capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

The UPC177G2(20)-E1-A is listed as a substitute part number by distributors. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before replacement. Ensure the alternative part meets the same voltage and current specifications for the intended application.
