Comparator with push-pull output for single-supply threshold detection
The TS3021AILT: Its push-pull output eliminates the external pull-up resistor that open-collector comparators require, saving one component per channel and simplifying the board layout for high-density designs.
Low quiescent current and wide temperature range for field-deployed gear
Maximum quiescent current is 90 µA — low enough that the comparator's own draw does not dominate the power budget in battery-operated sensors or portable instruments that sleep between readings. The -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range covers industrial enclosures, engine-bay ambient, and outdoor telecom cabinets without a temperature grade downgrade. Input offset voltage is specified at 6 mV max at 5 V — adequate for general-purpose threshold detection where the hysteresis band can be set externally to mask the offset.
SOT-23-5 package and active lifecycle for production runs
Housed in a 5-lead SOT-23-5 (SC-74A) package, the TS3021AILT fits into tight PCB layouts and can be hand-soldered with a fine-tip iron — no hot-air station required for rework in the field.
