3 Description
The LM397 device is a single voltage comparator
with an input common mode that includes ground.
The LM397 is designed to operate from a single 5-V
to 30-V power supply or a split power supply. Its low
supply current is virtually independent of the
magnitude of the supply voltage.
The LM397 features an open-collector output stage.
This allows the connection of an external resistor at
the output. The output can directly interface with TTL,
CMOS and other logic levels, by tying the resistor to
different voltage levels (level translator).
The LM397 is available in the space-saving 5-Pin
SOT-23 package and is pin-compatible to TI’s TL331,
a single differential comparator.
