CMOS Push/Pull Output Sinks and Sources 8mA (AS1976) ! CMOS Open-Drain Output Voltage Extends Beyond VCC (AS1977) The comparators are available as the standard products listed in Table 1. ! Ultra-Low Supply Current: 200nA Table 1. Standard Products ! Internal Hysteresis: 3mV ! Guaranteed to Operate Down to +1.8V ! Input Voltage Range Operates 200mV Beyond the Rails ! Crowbar Current-Free Switching ! No Phase Reversal for Overdriven Inputs ! 5-pin SOT23 Package The AS1976/AS1977 are very low-current comparators that can operate beyond the rail voltages and are guaranteed to operate down to 1.8V Low input bias current, current-limiting output circuitry, and ultra-small packaging make these comparators ideal for low-power 2-cell applications including powermanagement and power-monitoring systems. Model Output Type Current AS1976 Push/Pull 200nA AS1977 Open-Drain 200nA The AS1976 push/pull output can sink or source current. The AS1977 open-drain output can be pulled beyond VCC to a maximum of 3.6V > VEE. This open-drain model is ideal for use as a logic-level translator or bipolar-to-unipolar converter. Large internal output drivers provide rail-to-rail output swings with loads up to 8mA. Both devices feature builtin battery power-management and power-monitoring circuitry. The AS1976/AS1977 are available in a 5-pin SOT23 package. 3 Applications The devices are ideal for battery monitoring/management, mobile communication devices, laptops and PDAs, ultra-low-power systems, threshold detectors/discriminators, telemetry and remote systems, medical instruments, or any other space-limited application with low power-consumption requirements.
