ALD4303A/ALD4303
QUAD PRECISION MICROPOWER CMOS VOLTAGE COMPARATOR WITH DRIVER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
• 3V, 5V and 12V supply
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 10 Ω; 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.
• Guaranteed to drive 200Ω loads
• Fanout of 30LS TTL loads
• Guaranteed maximum supply current of
22µA per comparator

• Industry standard pinout of LM393 type
• Extremely low input bias currents -- 10pA
• Virtually eliminates source impedance
effects
• Single (+5V) and dual supply (±5V)
operation
• CMOS, NMOS and TTL compatible
• Open drain wired-OR outputs
• Compatible with push-pull outputs
• High output sinking current -- 60mA
• Low supply current spikes
• High gain -- 100V/mV
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/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 ALD2301/ALD2303. They can also be used with
push-pull output types such as ALD2302/ALD4302 voltage compara-
tors simultaneously with open drain comparators using a common V+.
The ALD4303A/ALD4303 is ideal for a great variety of voltage com-
parator applications, especially micropower detection circuits requiring
very low input currents, high output currents and low standby power.
