Key Features

    • MOSFET Input Stage
      • Very High Input Impedance (ZIN) 1.7TΩ (Typ)
      • Very Low Input Current at V+ = 5V 3.5pA (Typ)
      • Wide Common Mode Input Voltage Range (VICR) Can Be Swung 1.5V (Typ) Below Negative Supply Voltage Rail
      • Virtually Eliminates Errors Due to Flow of Input Currents
    • Output Voltage Compatible with TTL, DTL, ECL, MOS, and CMOS Logic Systems in Most Applications

Description

The CA3290A and CA3290 types consist of a dual voltage comparator on a single monolithic chip. The common mode input voltage range includes ground even when operated from a single supply. The low supply current drain makes these comparators suitable for battery operation; their extremely low input currents allow their use in applications that employ sensors with extremely high source impedances. Package options are shown in the table below.

Applications

    • High Source Impedance Voltage Comparators
    • Long Time Delay Circuits
    • Square Wave Generators
    • A/D Converters
    • Window Comparators
