ALD4301A/ALD4301
QUAD PRECISION CMOS VOLTAGE COMPARATOR WITH OPEN DRAIN DRIVER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
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.
• High source impedance voltage
comparison circuits
• Dual/Quad limit window comparator
• Power supply voltage monitor
• Photo-detector sensor circuit
• Relay or LED driver
• 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 circuits such as
ALD2301/ALD2303. They can also be used with push-pull output
types such as ALD2302/ALD4302 voltage comparators simultaneously
with open drain comparators using a common V+. The ALD4301A/
ALD4301 is ideal for a great variety of voltage comparator applica-
tions, especially detection circuits requiring very low input currents
and low standby power, yet retaining high output current capability.
