LT119A/LT319A

LM119/LM319
Dual Comparator

FEATURES DESCRIPTION
n Guaranteed Maximum 0.5mV Input Offset Voltage The LT®119A is an improved version of the LM119 dual
n Input Protection Diodes comparator. It features lower input offset voltage and
n Operates From Single 5V Supply offset current, higher voltage gain, guaranteed common
n 25mA Drive Capability mode rejection and input protection diodes.
n 80ns Response Time
The LT119A is capable of operation over a supply range
from 5V to ±15V and can drive 25mA loads from each
APPLICATIONS open collector output. A separate ground pin allows the
LT119A to isolate system grounds.
n Window Detectors
n High Speed One Shot Linear Technology Corporation’s advanced processing,
n Relay/Lamp Drivers design techniques and reliability make the LT119A/LT319A
n Voltage Controlled Oscillators an ideal choice over previous devices in most comparator
applications.
