MCP6541/1R/1U/2/3/4
Push-Pull Output Sub-Microamp Comparators
Description
Features
• Low Quiescent Current: 600 nA/comparator (typ.)
• Rail-to-Rail Input: VSS - 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V
• CMOS/TTL-Compatible Output
The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP6541/2/3/4 family
of comparators is offered in single (MCP6541,
MCP6541R, MCP6541U), single with Chip Select (CS)
(MCP6543), dual (MCP6542) and quad (MCP6544)
configurations. The outputs are push-pull (CMOS/TTL-
compatible) and are capable of driving heavy DC or
capacitive loads.
• Propagation Delay: 4 µs (typ., 100 mV Overdrive)
• Wide Supply Voltage Range: 1.6V to 5.5V
• Available in Single, Dual and Quad
• Single available in SOT-23-5, SC-70-5 * packages
• Chip Select (CS) with MCP6543
• Low Switching Current
These comparators are optimized for low power, single-
supply operation with greater than rail-to-rail input
operation.
The
push-pull
output
of
the
MCP6541/1R/1U/2/3/4 family supports rail-to-rail output
swing and interfaces with TTL/CMOS logic. The internal
input hysteresis eliminates output switching due to inter-
nal input noise voltage, reducing current draw. The out-
put limits supply current surges and dynamic power
consumption while switching. This product family oper-
ates with a single-supply voltage as low as 1.6V and
draws less than 1 µA/comparator of quiescent current.
• Internal Hysteresis: 3.3 mV (typ.)
• Temperature Ranges:
- Industrial: -40°C to +85°C
- Extended: -40°C to +125°C
Typical Applications
• Laptop Computers
• Mobile Phones
The related MCP6546/7/8/9 family of comparators from
Microchip has an open-drain output. Used with a pull-up
resistor, these devices can be used as level-shifters for
any desired voltage up to 10V and in wired-OR logic.
