description/ordering information

The TLC3704 consists of four independent

micropower voltage comparators designed to

operate from a single supply and be compatible

with modern HCMOS logic systems. They are

functionally similar to the LM339 but use 1/20th

the power for similar response times. The

push-pull CMOS output stage drives capacitive

loads directly without a power-consuming pullup

resistor to achieve the stated response time.

Eliminating the pullup resistor not only reduces

power dissipation, but also saves board space

and component cost. The output stage is also fully

compatible with TTL requirements.

Texas Instruments LinCMOS process offers

superior analog performance to standard CMOS

processes. Along with the standard CMOS advantages of low power without sacrificing speed, high input

impedance, and low bias currents, the LinCMOS process offers extremely stable input offset voltages with large

differential input voltages. This characteristic makes it possible to build reliable CMOS comparators.

The TLC3704Q is characterized for operation from −40°C to 125°C.
