Two new voltage comparators from Texas Instruments combine ultra-fast operation, low power requirements and precision performance, all at an unexpected low price. The TL3016 and TL3116 comparators are designed to interface directly to TTL and are ideal choices for applications such as hard disk drives and high speed scanners.

The excellent high speed/low power performance of these devices (7.6 ns typical propagation delay time and 10.6 mA typical supply current) makes either device suitable for battery powered applications. The TL3016 and TL3116 also feature an input offset voltage of 0.5 mV typical, making them good choices for precision applications. These devices are designed to operate from either a single 5-V supply or split ±5 V supplies. The TL3016 provides the better speed/power comparison, while the TL3116 has a common mode input range that includes the
negative supply rail. Both devices have complementary outputs that may be latched to retain the input data at the output.

The new comparators are ideal performance upgrades to the LT1016 and LT1116, while consuming about half their power. The TI comparators are available in 8-pin SOIC and TSSOP for low profile packaging in high density circuits.
