Product details
Overview
LMC6762AIMX from Texas Instruments is a dual micropower rail-to-rail input CMOS comparator with push-pull output, designed for ultra-low-power sensing and threshold-detection circuits in battery-powered systems. It delivers 10 μA max supply current per channel, operates from 2.7V to 15V, and achieves rail-to-rail input common-mode range exceeding both supplies - enabling direct interface with sensors near ground or V+. Its 420 ns propagation delay (100 mV overdrive, V+ = 5 V) and 100 mV output swing margin support fast, low-voltage logic interfacing without pull-up resistors.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6762AIMX datasheet, LMC6762AIMX pinout, LMC6762AIMX application, or LMC6762AIMX equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation at 2.7 V, push-pull output architecture eliminating external pull-ups, sub-1 μA input bias current, rail-to-rail input beyond supplies, and thermal stability across −40°C to +85°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LMC6762AIMX implements two independent high-impedance CMOS comparators sharing a single SOIC-8 package. Each channel features an input stage with 0.02 pA typical input current and 75 dB CMRR, enabling precision detection of millivolt-level sensor signals without loading. Its rail-to-rail input extends 200 mV beyond V− and V+ at all supply voltages (2.7 V, 5 V, 15 V), verified by ΔVOS/ΔVCM characterization.
The push-pull output drives logic directly: VOH = 4.6 V min (ILOAD = 5 mA, V+ = 5 V), VOL = 0.4 V max under same conditions, with short-circuit protection limiting sink/source to ±30 mA. Propagation delay is load- and overdrive-dependent - 420 ns (tPLH) at 100 mV overdrive, CL = 50 pF - and remains stable across temperature (−40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 12 μA typical / 20 μA max per channel - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5 mV max (LMC6762AI grade) - ensures reliable threshold detection with ≤10 mV hysteresis design margin. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Exceeds V− by 0.3 V and V+ by 0.3 V - allows direct sensing of signals below ground or above V+ without level-shifting. |
| Output Type | Push-pull (no pull-up required) - reduces BOM count and PCB area in portable logic interface applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns (tPLH, 100 mV overdrive, V+ = 5 V) - supports kHz-range timing functions like RC oscillators and one-shot multivibrators. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C junction - qualified for industrial handheld and metering environments without derating. |
| ESD Tolerance | 2 kV HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for robust handling in assembly and field service. |
Pinout & Package
LMC6762AIMX is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D0008A) package with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 3.91 mm body width, and 1.75 mm max height. Pin 1 identifier is marked in the top-left corner of the package, with leads conforming to JEDEC MS-012AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Comparator A) | High-impedance node (0.02 pA IB) for reference or feedback path in window/zero-crossing detectors. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Comparator A) | Accepts rail-to-rail signals up to V+ + 0.3 V - enables direct connection to unbuffered sensors or DAC outputs. |
| 3 | Output (Comparator A) | Push-pull CMOS output driving TTL/CMOS loads directly; no external pull-up needed for logic-level compatibility. |
| 4 | V− (Ground/Ref) | Reference return for both comparators; supports single-supply (0 V) or split-supply (±V) configurations. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (Comparator B) | Independent high-Z input identical to Pin 2 - used for dual-threshold or differential sensing architectures. |
| 6 | Inverting Input (Comparator B) | Matches Pin 1 functionality; enables mirrored signal conditioning paths in compact space-constrained designs. |
| 7 | Output (Comparator B) | Independent push-pull output; allows asynchronous event detection (e.g., alarm + status) on same die. |
| 8 | V+ | Wide-range supply input (2.7–15 V); quiescent current independent of voltage - simplifies power domain partitioning. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input beyond supplies | Valid operation with inputs 200 mV below V− or above V+ - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in overvoltage-tolerant sensor interfaces. |

| Push-pull output architecture | Direct drive of 5 mA logic loads without pull-up resistors - reduces component count and improves rise/fall time consistency. |
| Guaranteed 2.7 V operation | Full specification compliance at minimum 2.7 V supply - ensures interoperability with Li-ion, Li-SOCl₂, and 3 V microcontroller I/O domains. |
| Low input bias current | 0.02 pA typical - preserves accuracy in high-impedance source applications (e.g., pH electrodes, photodiode preamps). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6772AIMX | Open-drain output (requires external pull-up); otherwise identical specs including 10 μA IS and rail-to-rail input. | Suitable where wired-OR logic or level translation to higher voltage domains (e.g., 3.3 V → 5 V) is required. | Select LMC6772AIMX only if open-drain functionality is explicitly needed; LMC6762AIMX is preferred for reduced BOM and faster rise times. |
| TLV3702IDR | Higher supply current (1.8 μA typical per channel), lower offset (1.5 mV max), but narrower supply range (2.7–16 V) and no guaranteed rail-to-rail input beyond supplies. | Better for precision thresholding where offset dominates error budget; less suitable for signals near V−/V+. | Choose TLV3702IDR when offset voltage is critical and input signals stay within rails; retain LMC6762AIMX for true beyond-the-rails sensing. |
Compared with LMC6772AIMX and TLV3702IDR, the LMC6762AIMX uniquely combines push-pull output, guaranteed rail-to-rail input beyond supplies, and 10 μA max supply current - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained designs requiring direct logic interfacing and wide dynamic input range.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LMC6762AIMX?
The LMC6762AIMX has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ – V−) of 16 V. Its recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 15 V, with full electrical specifications guaranteed across this span. Operation at 15 V is validated per datasheet Section 8, including output swing, propagation delay, and input common-mode range - ensuring safe and specified performance at the upper limit.
Does the LMC6762AIMX support true rail-to-rail input operation beyond the supply rails?
Yes, the LMC6762AIMX supports input voltages exceeding both V− and V+ by up to 0.3 V - confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings and validated in Section 11.1. At V+ = 5 V, inputs may reach −0.3 V to +5.3 V while maintaining CMRR > 55 dB and avoiding phase inversion, enabling direct interface with transducers whose outputs swing below ground or above V+.
What is the output configuration of the LMC6762AIMX, and how does it differ from open-drain comparators?
The LMC6762AIMX features a push-pull CMOS output stage that actively drives both high and low states - unlike open-drain comparators such as the LMC6772AIMX, which require external pull-up resistors. This eliminates BOM cost and layout area while improving rise/fall time consistency and reducing susceptibility to noise on the output line, especially in high-impedance routing scenarios.
Can the LMC6762AIMX operate reliably at 2.7 V supply voltage?
Yes, the LMC6762AIMX is fully specified and tested at 2.7 V, including propagation delay (tPLH = 420 ns, tPHL = 450 ns), input offset voltage (5 mV max), and rail-to-rail input common-mode range. Its quiescent current remains stable across 2.7–15 V, making it ideal for 3 V digital systems and single-cell lithium applications where supply headroom is minimal.
What is the thermal operating range and package type of the LMC6762AIMX?
The LMC6762AIMX is rated for −40°C to +85°C junction temperature and is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D0008A) package with NIPDAU lead finish, RoHS-compliant, and MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow). The package drawing matches JEDEC MS-012AA, and thermal resistance θJA is 136°C/W - enabling use in sealed enclosures without forced airflow when power dissipation remains below 15 mW.
