DESCRIPTION
This device consists of four independent precision
voltage comparators. All these comparators were
designed specifically to operate from a single power
supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation
from split power supplies is also possible.
These comparators also have a unique characteristic in the fact that the input common-mode voltage
range includes ground even though operated from
a single power supply voltage.
