Description
These devices consist of two independent
precision voltage comparators, designed to
operate with single or dual supplies.
These differential comparators use the
STMicroelectronics silicon lin MOS process giving
them an excellent consumption-speed ratio.
These devices are ideally suited for low
consumption applications.

1. Maximum power supply voltage when the comparator is not switching.
2. All voltage values, except differential voltage, are with respect to network ground terminal.
3. Differential voltages are the non-inverting input terminal with respect to the inverting input terminal.
4. The magnitude of the input and the output voltages must never exceed the magnitude of the positive
supply voltage.
5. Guaranteed by design.
6. Short-circuit from outputs to Vcc+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction.

1. The specified response time is the internal between the input signal and the instant when the output signal
crosses 1.4 V.
Note:
If one of the two channels is not used, it must be configured with a differential
input voltage greater than 100 mV to avoid switching.
