ALD4301A/ALD4301
QUAD PRECISION CMOS VOLTAGE COMPARATOR WITH OPEN DRAIN DRIVER
APPLICATIONS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• High source impedance voltage
comparison circuits
• Dual/Quad limit window comparator
• Power supply voltage monitor
• Photo-detector sensor circuit
• Relay or LED driver
The ALD4301A/ALD4301 is a monolithic high performance quad
voltage comparator built with advanced silicon gate CMOS technol-
ogy. 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; high output drive and single
(+5V) or dual (±5V) power supply operation.
• Oscillators
• Battery operated instruments
• Remote signal detection
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. The outputs can be connected to a higher external voltage
+
than V and used in a wired-OR connection with other open drain
PIN CONFIGURATION
circuits such as the ALD2301 and ALD2303. They can also be used
with push-pull output types, such as the ALD2302 and ALD4302
voltage comparators, simultaneously with open drain comparators
using a common V+. The ALD4301A/ALD4301 is ideal for a great
variety of voltage comparator applications, especially detection cir-
cuits requiring very low input currents and low standby power, yet
retaining high output current capability.
