6.1 Overview

These dual comparators have the ability to operate up to absolute maximum of 36V (38V for the "B" version) on the supply pin. This device has proven ubiquity and versatility across a wide range of applications. This is due to very wide supply voltages range, low Iq and fast response of the devices.

The open-collector outputs allow the user to level shift to the desired logic level indpendent of VCC, while also enabling AND functionality when multiple outputs are connected together.
