GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD2301A/ALD2301B/ALD2301/ALD2301C is a monolithic high performance dual voltage comparator built with advanced silicon gate CMOS technology. It features very high typical input impedance of 1012Ω; low input bias current of 10pA; fast response time of 300ns; very low power dissipation of 55µA per comparator; and single +5V or dual ±5V power supply operation.
The input voltage range includes ground, making this comparator ideal for low level signal detection with high source impedance. The outputs are open-drain configuration, allowing maximum application flexibility, such as wired-OR connection. The outputs can be connected to a higher external voltage than V+.
