Dual Differential Comparators
LM393
n Reduced VOS drift over temperature
n Eliminates need for dual supplies
n Allows sensing near ground
n Compatible with all forms of logic
n Power drain suitable for battery operation
General Description
consists of two independent precision
The LM393
voltage comparators with an offset voltage specification as
low as 2.0 mV max for two comparators which were de-
signed specifically 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 have a unique characteris-
tic in that the input common-mode voltage range includes
ground, even though operated from a single power supply
voltage.
