Product details
Overview
LMC6772BIMX 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 10 μA max supply current per channel, operates from 2.7 V to 15 V, 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 LMC6772BIMX datasheet, LMC6772BIMX pinout, LMC6772BIMX application, or LMC6772BIMX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 420 ns propagation delay at 5 V/100 mV overdrive, 40 mA short-circuit output protection, open-drain flexibility for wired-OR logic and level-shifting, and guaranteed operation down to 2.7 V for 3 V digital system compatibility.
Technical Context
The LMC6772BIMX integrates two independent comparators sharing only power supply pins, each featuring rail-to-rail input stages with 20 fA typical input bias current and 75 dB common-mode rejection. Its open-drain NMOS output stage allows external pull-up to any voltage ≤15 V, decoupling output logic level from supply voltage - critical for interfacing between disparate voltage domains.
Internal power-on reset and ESD clamps (1.5 kV HBM on outputs) support robust operation in noisy portable environments. The device is specified for −40°C to +85°C junction temperature, with absolute maximum supply voltage of 16 V and differential input voltage tolerance of (V+) + 0.3 V to (V−) − 0.3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | Max 10 μA per channel at 2.7 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 15 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), 5 V logic, and 12 V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Extends 200 mV beyond both rails (e.g., −0.2 V to 5.2 V at VS = 5 V) - permits direct interface to sensors and signals near ground or V+. |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns (low-to-high) at 5 V/100 mV overdrive - sufficient for RC timers, window comparators, and multivibrator clock generation up to ~1 MHz. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - enables wired-OR logic, flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 15 V), and bidirectional level translation. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | 40 mA continuous sink current limit - protects against accidental output shorts while maintaining reliability under transient faults. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 8 mV (LMC6772BI grade) - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision monitoring applications like battery voltage guards. |
Pinout & Package
LMC6772BIMX is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC outline and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Open-drain output of Comparator A - requires external pull-up; sinks current when active low. |
| 2 | IN− A | Inverting input of Comparator A - high-impedance node (20 fA typical bias) for reference or feedback connection. |
| 3 | IN+ A | Non-inverting input of Comparator A - accepts rail-to-rail signals; used for signal sensing or threshold comparison. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail (GND in single-supply use) - shared by both comparators and internal bias circuitry. |
| 5 | IN+ B | Non-inverting input of Comparator B - independent of Channel A; enables dual-threshold or hysteresis configurations. |
| 6 | IN− B | Inverting input of Comparator B - supports differential or single-ended inputs; matched performance to Channel A. |
| 7 | OUT B | Open-drain output of Comparator B - electrically isolated from OUT A; supports independent load or pull-up. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - powers both comparators; regulates internal bias and output stage operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Enables direct sensing of signals from −0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V - eliminates need for input biasing in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 10 μA max per channel at 2.7 V - reduces standby power in battery-backed alarm circuits and portable data loggers. |
| Open-drain output architecture | Allows pull-up to any voltage ≤15 V - supports logic-level translation between 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V domains without additional components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6762BIMX | Push-pull output (not open-drain); identical supply current, input range, and speed specs. | Requires matched supply for output logic level; unsuitable for wired-OR or level-shifting. | Select LMC6762BIMX only when push-pull drive into CMOS loads is required and external pull-ups are undesirable. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower supply current (1.8 μA typ), but narrower input common-mode range (to V+ − 0.2 V); 360 ns propagation delay. | Not suitable for signals exceeding V+; better for ultra-low-power wake-up circuits where rail-to-rail input is unnecessary. | Choose TLV3702IDR when sub-2 μA quiescent current is mandatory and input signals remain within V− to V+ − 0.2 V. |
Compared with LMC6772BIMX, LMC6762BIMX trades open-drain flexibility for push-pull simplicity, while TLV3702IDR achieves lower power at the cost of input range - making LMC6772BIMX the optimal choice for rail-to-rail sensing with level-shifting capability in portable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LMC6772BIMX?
The LMC6772BIMX has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ − V−) of 16 V. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 15 V, as specified in the electrical characteristics tables. Exceeding 15 V may degrade parametric performance or accelerate wear-out mechanisms.
Does the LMC6772BIMX support rail-to-rail input voltage beyond the supply rails?
Yes, the LMC6772BIMX supports an input common-mode voltage range that extends 200 mV beyond both supply rails - for example, −0.2 V to 5.2 V at VS = 5 V. This is confirmed in Section 5.4 of the datasheet and enables direct interface to signals that exceed V− or V+, such as sensor outputs or AC-coupled waveforms, without external clamping or biasing.
Can the LMC6772BIMX outputs be connected together for wired-OR logic?
Yes, the LMC6772BIMX features open-drain outputs on pins 1 (OUT A) and 7 (OUT B), which 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 - a key feature used in alarm consolidation, priority interrupt generation, and fault-bus signaling in portable systems.
What is the guaranteed propagation delay of the LMC6772BIMX at 2.7 V supply?
At VS = 2.7 V and 100 mV input overdrive, the LMC6772BIMX guarantees tPLH ≤ 420 ns and tPHL ≤ 450 ns, as documented in Section 5.5 of the datasheet. These values are ensured across the full −40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and apply to both channels independently.
Is the LMC6772BIMX pin-compatible with the automotive-grade LMC6772QMM/NOPB?
No - the LMC6772BIMX uses an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, while the LMC6772QMM/NOPB uses an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package with different footprint dimensions (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm vs. 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm) and pin pitch. Though functionally identical and sharing the same pin numbering, they are not mechanically interchangeable without PCB redesign.
