What this comparator brings to the board
The STMicroelectronics TS393CDT is a dual general-purpose comparator in an 8-SOIC package. It runs on a single supply from 2.7 V to 16 V, or split supplies from ±1.35 V to ±8 V, which covers most common logic and analog rails without an extra regulator. The open-drain output lets you pull up to any voltage within the supply range, making it handy for level-shifting or wired-OR connections. Input bias current maxes out at 1 pA at 5 V, so it won't load down high-impedance sources like pH probes or photodiode amplifiers. Quiescent current is held to 25 µA max, which keeps the power budget tight for battery-powered or low-standby designs.
Temperature grade and where it fits
Rated for 0°C to 70°C, this is a commercial-temperature part. It belongs in office equipment, consumer electronics, indoor instrumentation, and similar controlled environments. Not the choice for an engine bay, a rooftop telecom enclosure, or a freezer — for those, look at the industrial-grade variant in the same family.
Lifecycle and sourcing note
The TS393CDT is listed as Active and ROHS3 compliant. Sourced and quoted to order through independent distribution; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
