TITLV3402IDR
Overview
The TLV3402IDR is a dual-channel, ultra-low-power CMOS comparator designed for battery-powered systems requiring extremely low current consumption. It features a NanoPower design that draws only 0.47 microamps per channel while providing open-drain outputs and a wide operating voltage range from 2.7V to 16V. This device includes integrated reverse battery protection up to 18V, making it exceptionally robust for field-deployed electronics.
Why Choose This Part
The primary advantage is the industry-leading power consumption of 0.47 microamps per channel, which extends operating life in always-on applications. The open-drain output stage supports level shifting and Wired-AND configurations, while the wide supply voltage up to 16V provides flexibility across various battery chemistries. Additionally, the built-in 18V reverse battery protection simplifies power stage design by reducing the need for external protection diodes.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate this comparator, prototype your circuit on a breadboard using an SOIC-8 to DIP adapter or design a simple PCB with proper decoupling capacitors. Ensure the open-drain output is connected to a pull-up resistor (typically 10k to 100k ohms) tied to the desired logic level. Use a high-impedance multimeter or an oscilloscope with 10x probes to measure performance without loading the ultra-low current circuits.
