MIC6270

IttyBitty® Comparator

General Description Features

The MIC6270 is a precision voltage comparator with an • 2V to 36V supply
offset voltage specification of 5mV maximum. • 300µA supply current independent of supply
The MIC6270 is designed to operate from a single 2V to • 25nA input bias current
36V power supply. Operation from split power supplies is • ±5nA input offset current
also possible. Its low supply current drain is independent • ±3mV input offset voltage
of the magnitude of the supply voltage. • Input common-mode voltage range includes ground
This comparator also features an input common-mode • Differential input voltage range equal to the power
voltage range that includes ground. Inputs are protected supply voltage
against reverse polarity (input voltage less than V–) and • 250mV at 4mA output saturation voltage
ESD. • Output compatible with TTL, DTL, ECL, MOS, and
The MIC6270 has an open-collector output that directly CMOS logic
interfaces with TTL, CMOS, and other types of logic.
Several MIC6270 outputs can be connected together for Applications
wired-OR logic. The output also features an internal pull- • Limit comparators
up current source that can be used instead of an external • A/D converters
load in some applications. • Pulse, square wave, time delay generators

General Note: Devices are ESD protected; however, handling precautions are recommended.
1. A short circuit from OUT to V+ can cause excessive heating and damage the device. The maximum short circuit output current (OUT to V–) is
approximately 20mA, independent of VV+.
2. Measured at the output switch point where VOUT ≅ 1.4Vdc with RS = 0Ω, V+ = 5Vdc to 30Vdc, and over the full input common-mode range
(0Vdc to V+ – 1.5Vdc).
3. The direction of input current is out of the device due to its PNP input.
4. The input common-mode voltage, VIN+, or VIN– must not go below –0.3V. The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is V+ – 1.5V at 25°C,
but either or both inputs can go to +36Vdc without damage, independent of VV+.
5. The response time measured using a 100mV input step with 5mV overdrive. With greater overdrive, 300ns can be obtained. See “Typical
Characteristics.”
6. 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 below –0.3Vdc (or 0.3Vdc below VV–).
