Product details
Overview
LMC6772BIN 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 comparator, operates from 2.7 V to 15 V, features rail-to-rail input common-mode range exceeding both supply rails, and achieves 420 ns propagation delay at 5 V with 100 mV overdrive - enabling precision voltage monitoring in handheld electronics and metering.
For engineers reviewing the LMC6772BIN datasheet, LMC6772BIN pinout, LMC6772BIN application, or LMC6772BIN equivalent, key selection considerations include its micropower operation (≤10 μA), wide supply range (2.7–15 V), rail-to-rail input capability, open-drain output for wired-OR logic level shifting, and PDIP-8 packaging suitable for prototyping and legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
The LMC6772BIN implements two independent high-impedance CMOS comparators with input stages optimized for rail-to-rail common-mode operation - supporting inputs as low as −0.3 V below V− and up to +0.3 V above V+ across all supply voltages (2.7 V, 5 V, 15 V). Its open-drain NMOS output stage enables flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤15 V, independent of the comparator's own supply.
Internal biasing ensures stable operation down to 2.7 V with guaranteed 420 ns tPLH propagation delay (100 mV overdrive, 5 V supply) and 40 mA short-circuit protection. Input offset voltage is specified at ≤8 mV (LMC6772BI grade), with 75 dB CMRR and 80 dB PSRR ensuring robust performance in noisy, single-supply environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | Max 10 μA per comparator - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor monitors and portable devices. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 15 V - supports direct integration into 3 V microcontroller systems and 12 V industrial rails without regulation. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Extends ≥0.3 V beyond both rails (e.g., −0.3 V to 5.3 V at 5 V supply) - allows direct sensing of ground-referenced or rail-referenced signals without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 420 ns (tPLH, 100 mV overdrive, 5 V) - sufficient for RC timers, window comparators, and slow-speed alarm circuits. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - permits wired-OR configuration and pull-up to external logic rails (e.g., 3.3 V MCU I/O) regardless of comparator supply. |
| Short-Circuit Protection | 40 mA continuous sink limit - protects against accidental output shorts while maintaining reliability in unregulated environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC6772BIMX/NOPB | Same die, SOIC-8 package; 136 °C/W θJA vs. PDIP's higher thermal resistance; RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. | Better suited for automated SMT production and space-constrained PCBs; lacks through-hole mounting flexibility. | Select for volume manufacturing where reflow compatibility and board density are priorities over prototyping ease. |
| TLV3702CDR | Lower max supply current (1.8 μA), but narrower supply range (2.7–16 V); push-pull output (no external pull-up needed); 360 ns tPLH. | Eliminates pull-up resistors but cannot perform wired-OR; better for low-noise digital interfacing than level translation. | Choose when minimizing component count outweighs need for open-drain flexibility and rail-to-rail input margin. |
Compared with LMC6772BIN, the LMC6772BIMX/NOPB offers identical electrical performance in a surface-mount package ideal for production, while the TLV3702CDR trades open-drain versatility for lower power and push-pull simplicity - making each optimal for distinct layout and system architecture constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LMC6772BIN?
The LMC6772BIN has an absolute maximum supply voltage (V+ − V−) rating of 16 V, with recommended operating range from 2.7 V to 15 V. Exceeding 16 V risks permanent damage. The device maintains rail-to-rail input operation and 420 ns propagation delay across this full 2.7–15 V range, making LMC6772BIN suitable for both low-voltage battery and higher-voltage industrial rails.
Does the LMC6772BIN support true rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes - the LMC6772BIN input common-mode voltage range extends at least 0.3 V beyond both supply rails (e.g., −0.3 V to 5.3 V at 5 V supply), verified across 2.7 V, 5 V, and 15 V operation. This allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or V+, eliminating level-shifting components. The LMC6772BIN achieves this via specialized CMOS input stage design with 75 dB CMRR.
Can the LMC6772BIN outputs drive a 15 V pull-up rail while powered from 3.3 V?
Yes - the open-drain NMOS output stage of the LMC6772BIN is fully isolated from its internal supply. When powered from 3.3 V, either output (Pin 1 or Pin 7) can be pulled up to any voltage ≤15 V using an external resistor. This enables robust logic-level translation, such as interfacing a 3.3 V microcontroller to a 12 V actuator control line - a core capability of the LMC6772BIN.
What is the guaranteed propagation delay for the LMC6772BIN at 2.7 V supply?
At 2.7 V supply, the LMC6772BIN guarantees tPLH ≤ 420 ns and tPHL ≤ 450 ns under 100 mV input overdrive conditions (TJ = 25°C). These values are confirmed in Section 5.5 AC Electrical Characteristics of the datasheet. The LMC6772BIN maintains usable speed even at minimum supply, supporting timing-critical functions like one-shot multivibrators in ultra-low-voltage systems.
Is the LMC6772BIN pin-compatible with other variants in the LMC6772 family?
Yes - all LMC6772 variants (including LMC6772AIMX/NOPB, LMC6772BIMX/NOPB, and LMC6772QMM/NOPB) share identical 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, and VSSOP footprints and pinouts. The LMC6772BIN uses the same pin configuration as the SOIC and VSSOP versions, enabling direct substitution in existing layouts when mechanical constraints permit. Functional behavior is consistent across grades; only temperature range and VOS limits differ.
