NTE943, NTE943M, & NTE943SM Integrated Circuit Low Power, Low Offset, Dual Voltage Comparator Description: The NTE943, NTE943M, and NTE943SM consist of two independent precision voltage comparators with an offset voltage speciication as low as 2.0mV max for two comparators which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wid range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage. These comparators alos have a unique characteristic in that the input common–mode voltage range includesground, even though operated from a single powe supply voltage. Application areas include limit comparators, simple analog to digital converters; pulse, squarewave and time delay generators; wide range VCO; MOS clock timers; multivibrators and high voltage digital logic gates. These devices are designed to directly interface with TTL and CMOS. When operated from both plus and minus power supplies they will directly interface with MOS logic where their low power drain is a distinct advantage over standard comparators.

Positive excursions of input voltage may exceed the power supply level. As long as the other voltage remains within the common–mode range, the comparator will provide a proper output state. The low input voltage state must not be less than –0.3V (or 0.3V below the the magnitude of the negative power supply, if used). Note 2. For operating at elevated temperature, these devices must be derated based on a 125°C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of 127°C/W which applies for the device soldered in a printed circuit board, operating in a still air ambient. The low bias dissipation and the “ON–OFF” haracteristic of the output keeps the chip dissipation very small (PD ≤ 100mW), provided the output transistors are allowed to saturate. Note 3. Short circuits from the output to V+ can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. When considering short circuits to GND, the maximum output current is approximately 20mA independent of the magnitude of V+. Note 4. This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of th input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collector–base junction of the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. In addition to this diode action, there is also lateral NPN parasitic transistor action on the IC chip. This transistor action can cause the output voltages of the comparators to go to the V+ voltage level (or to GND for a large overdrive) for the time duration that an input is driven negative. This is not destructive and normal output states will re–establish when the input voltage, which was negative, again returns to a value greater than –0.3V.

The direction of the input current is out of the IC due to the PNP input stage. This current is essentially constant, independent of the state of the output so no loading change exists on the reference or input lines.
