Product details
Overview
LMC6772AIM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual micropower rail-to-rail input CMOS comparator with open-drain output, designed for ultra-low-power sensing and threshold detection in battery-operated systems. It delivers 10 μA max supply current per comparator, operates from 2.7 V to 15 V, features rail-to-rail input common-mode range exceeding both supply rails, and provides 420 ns propagation delay at 5 V with 100 mV overdrive - enabling precise voltage monitoring in portable metering and handheld electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6772AIM/NOPB datasheet, LMC6772AIM/NOPB pinout, LMC6772AIM/NOPB application, or LMC6772AIM/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its micropower operation, open-drain flexibility for wired-OR logic and level-shifting, rail-to-rail input capability for single-supply sensor interfacing, and guaranteed −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The LMC6772AIM/NOPB integrates two independent high-impedance CMOS comparators with input stages optimized for rail-to-rail common-mode operation down to 2.7 V. Its open-drain NMOS output stage supports pull-up to any voltage ≤15 V, independent of V+, enabling interoperability across mixed-voltage domains.
Each comparator features 0.02 pA typical input bias current, 75 dB minimum CMRR, and 80 dB PSRR - ensuring stable threshold detection despite supply ripple or ground bounce. Propagation delay remains under 450 ns across full temperature and supply range, with short-circuit protection limiting output sink current to 40 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 10 μA max per comparator - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 15 V - supports direct operation from single Li-ion, 3.3 V logic, or 12 V industrial rails. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Exceeds V− by 0.2 V and V+ by 0.3 V - allows direct sensing of signals below ground or above V+ without clamping diodes. |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns (tPLH) at 5 V, 100 mV overdrive - ensures timely response in RC timers and pulse-width discriminators. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - permits wired-OR outputs and flexible level translation up to 15 V pull-up. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5 mV max (AI grade) - sufficient for coarse threshold detection in alarm and window comparator applications. |
| Input Bias Current | 0.02 pA typical - minimizes loading on high-impedance sensors like thermistors or photodiodes. |
Pinout & Package
LMC6772AIM/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Open-drain output of Comparator A - requires external pull-up; sinks up to 40 mA. |
| 2 | IN− A | Inverting input of Comparator A - high-impedance CMOS node, rail-to-rail capable. |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input of Comparator A - same rail-to-rail range and impedance as IN− A. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply terminal - referenced to system ground in single-supply operation. |
| 5 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of Comparator B - electrically identical to IN+ A. |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input of Comparator B - matches IN− A in performance and range. |
| 7 | OUT B | Open-drain output of Comparator B - independently controllable; supports wired-OR with OUT A. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply terminal - accepts 2.7 V to 15 V; powers both comparators and internal bias circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Operates with inputs 0.2 V below V− and 0.3 V above V+ - eliminates need for level-shifting resistors in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 10 μA max per comparator - reduces standby power in battery-backed systems such as smart meters and wearables. |
| Open-drain output architecture | Enables logic-level translation between 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains using a single external pull-up resistor. |
| Wide supply voltage support | 2.7 V to 15 V operation - accommodates diverse power architectures without redesigning bias networks. |
| Short-circuit protected output | 40 mA current limit - prevents latch-up or thermal damage during accidental output shorts to V+ or ground. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6762AIM/NOPB | Push-pull output stage instead of open-drain; otherwise identical specs and pinout. | Eliminates need for external pull-up but lacks wired-OR capability and level-shifting flexibility. | Select when driving CMOS loads directly without external components; avoid when interfacing mixed-voltage systems. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower 800 nA supply current, but narrower 2.7 V–16 V supply range and no guaranteed rail-to-rail input beyond V+. | Better suited for ultra-long-life IoT nodes; less robust for wide-input-swing sensor conditioning. | Prefer for energy-harvesting applications where sub-μA current dominates; verify input range compatibility before substitution. |
Compared with LMC6772AIM/NOPB, LMC6762AIM/NOPB trades open-drain versatility for lower component count in single-rail systems, while TLV3702IDR offers superior quiescent current at the expense of input range margin and output configurability - making LMC6772AIM/NOPB optimal for mixed-voltage, sensor-front-end, and timing-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LMC6772AIM/NOPB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ − V−) for LMC6772AIM/NOPB is 16 V, with recommended operating range from 2.7 V to 15 V. Exceeding 16 V risks permanent device damage. The datasheet specifies that continuous operation above 12 V with output shorted to V+ may adversely affect reliability, so proper output protection is advised in high-voltage applications involving LMC6772AIM/NOPB.
Does LMC6772AIM/NOPB support true rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, LMC6772AIM/NOPB supports rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range exceeding both supply rails: it operates with inputs as low as 0.2 V below V− and as high as 0.3 V above V+ at room temperature. This capability is verified across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range and enables direct interfacing with sensors whose outputs swing near ground or V+ without external level-shifting circuitry - a core design feature of LMC6772AIM/NOPB.
Can LMC6772AIM/NOPB outputs be wired together for OR logic?
Yes, the open-drain NMOS outputs of LMC6772AIM/NOPB (pins 1 and 7) are explicitly designed for wired-OR configurations. When multiple outputs share a common pull-up resistor, the combined node goes low if any comparator asserts - enabling simple priority encoding or alarm aggregation. This functionality is intrinsic to LMC6772AIM/NOPB's architecture and does not require additional external logic or isolation components.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage for LMC6772AIM/NOPB?
The LMC6772AIM/NOPB has a maximum input offset voltage of 5 mV over the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range, as specified for the AI grade. This value is tested and ensured per TI's production test flow. While typical offset is 3 mV, designers must use the 5 mV limit for worst-case error budgeting in precision threshold applications involving LMC6772AIM/NOPB.
Is LMC6772AIM/NOPB suitable for automotive applications?
No, LMC6772AIM/NOPB is rated for −40°C to +85°C and is designated as a catalog-grade part. For automotive use, TI offers the LMC6772QMM/NOPB variant, which is AEC-Q200 qualified and specified for −40°C to +125°C operation. The LMC6772AIM/NOPB lacks automotive qualification testing and should not be deployed in safety-critical or engine-compartment environments where LMC6772QMM/NOPB is required.
