It packs four independent comparators into a single 14-pin DIP, each capable of sinking or sourcing 20 mA to drive CMOS, push-pull, or TTL logic directly. Propagation delay sits at 4.5 µs — not for high-speed switching, but plenty for temperature thresholds, over-voltage locks, or zero-crossing detect in power supplies and motor drives. The 84 dB CMRR keeps common-mode noise from tripping false edges on long sensor runs. ## Supply range and quiescent draw Single-supply operation from 3 V to 16 V, or split supplies within the same total range. Quiescent current maxes at 100 µA per package. ## Temperature grade and environment Rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range. This limits the TLC3704CN to indoor, conditioned environments — office equipment, appliance control boards, benchtop instrumentation, or telecom racks with climate control. Not suited for engine bays, outdoor enclosures, or unheated factory floors without additional thermal management. ## Package and mounting 14-lead PDIP (0.300\" body width, 7.62 mm pitch) with through-hole mounting. Ships in tube. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture Active lifecycle status per the manufacturer. No last-time-buy or NRND flags. ROHS3 compliant. The TLC3704CN remains a stable line item for BOM freeze — no imminent obsolescence risk.","metaTitle":"TLC3704CN LinCMOS Quad Comparator, 4.5 µs, 14-DIP","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments TLC3704CN quad comparator, 84 dB CMRR, 100 µA quiescent, 3-16 V supply.

The LM339 is faster (1.3 µs typical) and runs on a wider supply range (2 V to 36 V). The TLC3704CN suits high-impedance, low-power designs; the LM339 fits higher-speed or higher-voltage rails."},{"question":"What is the closest functional second-source for TLC3704CN?","answer":"The TLV9032DDFR is a newer, surface-mount dual comparator with rail-to-rail outputs and 100 ns propagation delay, but it is a dual (not quad) and surface-mount only. No pin-compatible quad through-hole second-source is listed. For a drop-in replacement, stay with the TLC3704CN or its siblings in the LinCMOS™ family."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TLC3704CN","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TLC3704CN when reusing this data.
