Description
The GM393 consist of two independent precision voltage
comparators with an offset voltage specification as low as
2.0 mV, max for two comparators which were designed spe-
cifically 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 in-
dependent of the magnitude 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, square wave and time delay
generators; wide range VCO; MOS clock timers; multivi-
brators and high voltage digital logic gates. The GM393
are designed to directly interface with TTL and CMOS.
When operated from both plus and minus power supplies,
the GM393 will directly interface with MOS logic, where
their low power drain is a distinct advantage over standard
comparators.
The GM393 is available in DIP-8 and SOP-8 packages.
