Typical Application
Description
The LT1720/LT1721 are UltraFast dual/quad comparators optimized for single supply operation, with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 6V. The input voltage range extends from 100mV below ground to 1.2V below the supply voltage. Internal hysteresis makes the LT1720/LT1721 easy to use even with slow moving input signals. The rail-to-rail outputs directly interface to TTL and CMOS. Alternatively, the symmetric output drive can be harnessed for analog applications or for easy translation to other single supply logic levels.
The LT1720 is available in three 8-pin packages; three pins per comparator plus power and ground. In addition to SO and MSOP packages, a 3mm x 3mm low profile (0.8mm) dual fine pitch leadless package (DFN) is available for space limited applications. The LT1721 is available in the 16-pin SSOP and S packages.
The pinouts of the LT1720/LT1721 minimize parasitic effects by placing the most sensitive inputs (inverting) away from the outputs, shielded by the power rails. The LT1720/LT1721 are ideal for systems where small size and low power are paramount.
