Product details
Overview
LMC6772AIMMX from Texas Instruments is a dual micropower rail-to-rail input CMOS comparator with open-drain output, designed for ultra-low-power battery-operated systems. It delivers 10μA max supply current per comparator, operates from 2.7V to 15V, and supports rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range exceeding both supply rails - enabling direct sensing near ground or V+ in single-supply applications such as portable metering and handheld electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6772AIMMX datasheet, LMC6772AIMMX pinout, LMC6772AIMMX application, or LMC6772AIMMX equivalent, key selection considerations include its 420ns propagation delay at 5V/100mV overdrive, ±30mA output short-circuit rating, −40°C to +85°C operating junction temperature, open-drain wired-OR capability, and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMC6772AIMMX integrates two independent comparators sharing only power rails, each featuring rail-to-rail input stage with 75dB typical CMRR and 20fA typical input bias current - enabling direct interface with high-impedance sensors without external biasing. Its open-drain NMOS output allows flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤15V, independent of V+, supporting logic-level translation across mixed-voltage domains.
Internal ESD protection (1.5kV HBM on outputs, 2kV on other pins), thermal shutdown avoidance via 40mA absolute max supply current limit, and guaranteed operation down to 2.7V make it suitable for robust, low-voltage industrial monitoring and safety-critical threshold detection where supply headroom is minimal.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 10μA max per comparator - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor wake-up circuits. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 15V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V/5V logic, and 12V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Exceeds V− by 0.2V and V+ by 0.3V - permits direct detection of signals below ground or above V+ in power supply monitors. |
| Propagation Delay | 420ns (tPLH) at 5V/100mV overdrive - balances speed and power for RC timers and window comparators. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - enables wired-OR bus configurations and independent pull-up to 15V logic, decoupling output voltage from supply. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5mV max (LMC6772AI grade) - ensures reliable threshold detection in precision battery voltage monitors. |
| Short-Circuit Output Current | ±30mA continuous - provides fault tolerance during transient load faults without latch-up. |

Use Value: Open-drain output eliminates need for external MOSFET or dedicated level-shifter IC; propagation delay <420ns preserves timing integrity. |
| RC Timer Circuit | Alarm Threshold Detector |
|
Use Scenario: Generating precise time delays in portable medical devices using resistor-capacitor charging curves. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator B configured as one-shot multivibrator - output pulse width set by R×C time constant. Use Value: Low input bias current (20fA typ) prevents capacitor leakage errors; 420ns delay ensures sub-microsecond timing resolution. |
Use Scenario: Detecting smoke sensor output voltage rise above alarm threshold in battery-powered fire alarms. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator A compares sensor output to precision reference; hysteresis added externally to reject EMI noise. Use Value: 20fA input current avoids loading high-impedance electrochemical sensor; rail-to-rail input captures full sensor swing from 0–100mV. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6762AIMMX | Push-pull output (not open-drain); otherwise identical specs including 10μA IS, 2.7–15V VS, rail-to-rail input. | Requires no external pull-up; unsuitable for wired-OR or mixed-voltage interfacing. | Select when driving CMOS inputs directly and board space prohibits pull-up resistors. |
| TLV3702IDGKR | Lower 800nA IS but narrower 2.7–5.5V VS range; 360ns tPLH; rail-to-rail input; open-drain output. | Optimized for ultra-low-power sub-5V systems only; not rated for 12V industrial rails. | Select when supply is strictly ≤5.5V and nanowatt operation outweighs voltage range flexibility. |
Compared with LMC6772AIMMX, LMC6762AIMMX eliminates external pull-up components but forfeits voltage-level translation capability, while TLV3702IDGKR achieves deeper micropower operation at the cost of 15V compatibility - making LMC6772AIMMX the optimal choice for wide-supply, mixed-voltage, battery-constrained designs requiring wired-OR or programmable pull-up voltage.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LMC6772AIMMX?
The LMC6772AIMMX has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ – V−) of 16V, with recommended operating range from 2.7V to 15V. Exceeding 16V risks permanent damage. The device maintains specified performance across this full 2.7–15V range, including rail-to-rail input operation and 10μA max supply current - making LMC6772AIMMX suitable for both single-cell and 12V industrial systems.
Does the LMC6772AIMMX support true rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the LMC6772AIMMX supports rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range that exceeds both supply rails: down to (V−) − 0.2V and up to (V+) + 0.3V at room temperature. This is verified across all operating voltages (2.7V, 5V, 15V) and enables direct sensing of signals at ground or above V+, such as in power supply UV/OV monitors - a confirmed specification for the LMC6772AIMMX grade.
Can the LMC6772AIMMX outputs be tied together for wired-OR functionality?
Yes, the LMC6772AIMMX features open-drain NMOS outputs on pins 1 (OUT A) and 7 (OUT B), explicitly designed for wired-OR configurations. When multiple outputs share a common pull-up resistor, the combined node goes low if any comparator asserts - a core function validated in TI's official application notes for LMC6772AIMMX, including universal logic level shifting and alarm bus architectures.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LMC6772AIMMX?
The LMC6772AIMMX is rated for −40°C to +85°C junction temperature, matching the LMC6772AI grade defined in TI's official datasheet SNOS749G. This range is distinct from the automotive-grade LMC6772Q (−40°C to +125°C) and is fully tested and ensured - confirming suitability for commercial and industrial portable equipment, including handheld meters and battery-powered instrumentation.
Is the LMC6772AIMMX pin-compatible with other packages in the LMC6772 family?
No - the LMC6772AIMMX uses the VSSOP-8 (DGK) package, while SOIC-8 (D) variants like LMC6772AIMX/NOPB.B have identical pin numbering but larger 3.91mm × 4.90mm footprint and 1.27mm pitch. Though electrically identical and functionally interchangeable, PCB layout changes are required to substitute between VSSOP and SOIC packages - LMC6772AIMMX is not a drop-in replacement for SOIC versions without redesign.
