MICROCIRCUIT DATA SHEET

LOW POWER LOW OFFSET VOLTAGE DUAL COMPARATORS

General Description

The LM193A consists of two independent precision voltage comparators with an offset

voltage specification as low as 2.0mV max for two comparators which were designed

specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages.

Operation from split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current

drain is independent of the magniture of the power supply voltage. These comparators also

have a unique characteristic in that the input common-mode voltage range includes ground,

even though operated from a single power supply voltage.

Application areas include limit comparators, simple analog to digital converters; pulse,

squarewave and time delay generators; wide range VCO; MOS clock timers; multivibrators and

high voltage digital logic gates. The LM193A was designed to directly interface with TTL

and CMOS. When operated from both plus and minus power supplies, the LM193A will directly

interface with MOS logic where their low power drain is a distinct advantage over standard

comparators.
