Quad comparator for mixed-voltage and industrial rails
The Texas Instruments LM3302D is a quad differential comparator built for general-purpose threshold detection. Four open-collector outputs let you wire-OR multiple channels or translate between 5V logic and a 24V PLC input card without a level shifter. Supply range spans 2V to 28V (or ±1V to ±14V split), so it runs off the same rail as the sensors it monitors — no secondary regulator needed.
What the ratings mean for the BOM
Output current is 20mA typical per channel. Quiescent current is 800µA maximum across all four comparators.
Package and mounting
14-SOIC body, 3.90 mm wide, 0.154" pitch. Surface-mount reflow compatible. The supplier device package is also 14-SOIC — no footprint mismatch between the order code and the land pattern. Tube shipment, so plan for pick-and-place tray loading if you are running high-volume reels.
