NTE834 & NTE834SM Integrated Circuit Low Power Low Offset Voltage Comparator Description: The NTE834 and NTE834SM are precision voltage comparators designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide 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 also has a unique characteristic in that the input commonmode voltage range includes GND, even though operated from a single power supply voltage.

The low bias dissipation and the ONOFF characteristic of the outputs keeps the chip dissipation very low (P 100mW), D provided the output transistors are allowed to saturate. + Note 2 Short circuits from the output to V can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction. + The maximum output current is approximately 20mA independent of the magnitude of V . Note 3 This input current will only exist when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the collectorbase junction of the input PNP transistors becoming forward biased and thereby acting as input diode clamps. Note 4 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 to input lines. Note 5 The input commonmode voltage or either input signal voltage should not be allowed to go + negative by more than 0.3V. The upper end of the commonmode voltage range is V 1.5V, but either or both inputs can go to +30V without damage. + Note 6. At output switch point, V 1.4V, R = 0 with V from 5V and over the full input common O S mode range (0V to V+ 1.5V).
