8.1 Application Information

The TLV701x and TLV702x are micro-power comparators with reasonable response time. The comparators have a rail-to-rail input stage that can monitor signals beyond the positive supply rail with integrated hysteresis. When higher levels of hysteresis are required, positive feedback can be externally added. The push-pull output stage of the TLV701x is optimal for reduced power budget applications and features no shoot-through current. When level shifting or wire-ORing of the comparator outputs is needed, the TLV702x with its open-drain output stage is well suited to meet the system needs. In either case, the wide operating voltage range, low quiescent current, and micro-package of the TLV701x and TLV702x make these comparators excellent candidates for battery-operated and portable, handheld designs.
