The LT1017CS8#PBF is a general purpose Micro-power Dual Comparator optimized for lowest operating power. It can operate from a single 1.1V cell up to 40V. The output stage includes a class B pull-up current source, eliminating the need for an external resistive pull-up and saving power. The output stage is also designed to allow driving loads connected to a supply more positive than the device, as can comparators with open-collector output stages. Input specifications are also excellent. On-chip trimming minimizes offset voltage, while high gain and common mode rejection ratio keep other input referred errors low. Common mode voltage range includes ground. Special circuitry prevents false output states even if the input is overdriven. It is pin compatible with older dual comparators such as 393 type devices.
