austriamicrosystems First Family of Single/Dual/Quad Comparators Significantly Improves Power Consumption.New AS1970-75 ICs Ideal for Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment, Computers, Intelligent Instruments, Critical uP and uC Power Monitoring, Controllers and Automotive Applications UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria -- austriamicrosystems (SWX SWX Swiss Exchange (trademark of SWX Swiss Exchange) SWX SolidWorks (3D solid modeling CAD software) SWX Splitter / Wave Division Multiplexer :AMS AMS - Andrew Message System ), a leading global designer and manufacturer of analog integrated circuits (ICs) for communication, industrial, medical and automotive applications, has introduced its first line of comparators - the AS1970-75 family. Offering a choice of single, dual or quad input, combined with low power consumption down to 8.5 uA per comparator comparator Instrument for comparing something with a similar thing or with a standard measure, in particular to measure small displacements in mechanical devices. In astronomy, the blink comparator is used to examine photographic plates for signs of moving bodies. input, these ICs are ideal for a variety of battery powered applications. The AS1970-75 family can be used with single +2.5V to +5.5V supplies, making it perfect for 3V and 5V applications. Dual +/-1.25 to +/-2.75V supplies can also be supported. The ICs can be powered by just two AA cells while offering rail-to-rail capability and a low input bias current of 1uA. Furthermore the low 0.5 mV input offset voltage and internal 3 mV hysteresis hysteresis (hĭs'tərē`sĭs), phenomenon in which the response of a physical system to an external influence depends not only on the present magnitude of that influence but also on the previous history of the system. combined with low power consumption makes the AS1970-75 family ideal for battery monitoring and management applications in portable devices. "Because of the unique design of its output stage, the AS1970-75 family virtually eliminates supply-current glitches typical of many other comparators," said Walter Moshammer, Director Marketing Standard Linear at austriamicrosystems. "The jutting jut v. jut·ted, jut·ting, juts v.intr. To extend outward or upward beyond the limits of the main body; project: architecture also dramatically increases battery life, even in high-speed applications." The AS1970/72/74 have a push/pull output stage that sinks and sources current. The AS1972/73/75 have an open-drain output stage that can be pulled beyond VCC An electronics designation that refers to voltage from a power supply connected to the "collector" terminal of a bipolar transistor. In an NPN bipolar (BJT) transistor, it would be +Vcc, while in a PNP transistor, it would be -Vcc. , making them suitable for mixed-voltage designs, logic-level translators or bipolar-to-unipolar converters. Large internal output drivers allow rail to rail output swings with loads up to 8 mA. The AS1970/71 single comparators are available in a space-saving, 5-pin SOT23 package, the AS1972/73 dual comparators come in a 8-pin MSOP MSOP Mini Small Outline Package MSOP Mini Series of Poker MSOP Minnesota Sex Offender Program MSOP Management Stock Option Plan MSOP Memphis School of Preaching (Memphis, TN) MSOP Minimum Sum-Of-Products package and the AS1974/75 quad comparator are delivered in a 14-pin TSSOP TSSOP Thin Shrink Small Outline Package TSSOP Thin Scale Small Outline Package package.
