The TLV7211 and TLV7211A are micropower CMOS comparators available in the space-saving SOT-23-5 package. This makes the comparators designed for space- and weight-critical designs. The TLV7211A features an input offset voltage of 5mV, and the TLV7211 features an input offset voltage of 15mV. The main benefits of the SOT-23-5 package are most apparent in small portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, pagers, notebook computers, personal digital assistants, and PCMCIA cards. The rail-to-rail input voltage makes the TLV7211 or TLV7211A a good choice for sensor interfacing, such as light detector circuits, optical and magnetic sensors, and alarm and status circuits. The small size of the SOT-23-5 package allows the device to fit into tight spaces on PC boards.
