GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD4303A/ALD4303 is a precision monolithic high performance quad voltage comparator with open drain output built with advanced silicon gate CMOS technology. It features very high typical input impedance of 1012Ω; low input bias current of 10pA; very low power dissipation of 7.5µA per comparator; micropower operation; high output drive and single (+5V) or dual (±5V) power supply operation.
The input voltage range includes ground, making this comparator ideal for single supply low level signal detection with high source impedance. The ALD4303A/ALD4303 can be used in connection with other voltage comparator circuits such as the ALD2301, ALD2302, and ALD4302 voltage comparators. The outputs can be connected to a higher external voltage than V+ and used in a wired-OR connection with other open drain circuits such as the ALD2301 and ALD2303.
