Product details
Overview
LTC1442IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow-power dual comparator with integrated 1.182 V ±1% precision reference, programmable hysteresis via HYST pin, and rail-to-rail CMOS outputs capable of sourcing 40 mA. It operates from a single 2 V to 11 V supply or dual ±1 V to ±5.5 V supplies and draws only 3.5–5.7 µA over temperature. It is used in battery-powered voltage monitoring, threshold detection, and window comparator circuits where micropower operation and stable internal reference are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1442IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1442IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1442IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed input common-mode range (V– to V+ –1.3 V), hysteresis configurability, reference output drive capability (up to 0.01 µF bypass capacitor), propagation delay (12–15 µs at 10 mV overdrive), and industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The LTC1442IS8#TRPBF integrates two independent comparators sharing a single precision bandgap reference and hysteresis control node. Its architecture eliminates crowbar current during output transitions, minimizing supply glitches-critical for low-noise, battery-sensitive systems. The reference is referenced to V– and maintains ±1% accuracy across –40°C to +85°C.
Each comparator features picoamp-level input leakage (±10 pA typ), wide input common-mode range extending to within 1.3 V of V+, and TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs that swing fully from V– to V+. Hysteresis is implemented externally using two resistors between REF, HYST, and V–, enabling precise threshold band tuning up to 100 mV total.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1442IS8#TRPBF is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, where all "●"-marked specifications apply across this full range. The "I" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the industrial grade.
Can the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF drive a 0.01 µF capacitor directly on its REF pin?
Yes, the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF reference output is specifically characterized to drive up to 0.01 µF capacitive loads without oscillation. This capability is stated in the Features list, Applications Information section, and Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G11–G13), enabling stable reference filtering without external buffering.
Does the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF have a dedicated ground pin?
No, the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF does not include a dedicated GND pin. Unlike the LTC1440 (which has GND on Pin 1), the LTC1442 uses Pin 2 as V–, which serves as the reference for both the internal bandgap and comparator inputs/outputs. In single-supply operation, V– is connected to system ground.
What is the maximum hysteresis voltage band achievable with the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF?
The maximum hysteresis voltage band for the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF is 100 mV total (50 mV above and below the threshold). This is derived from the HYST pin's specified input voltage range of REF – 50 mV to REF, and the fact that hysteresis band equals twice the REF–HYST differential. The datasheet confirms this limit in the Pin Functions and Applications Information sections.
Is the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with MAX922 or MAX923 comparators?
No, the LTC1442IS8#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with MAX922 or MAX923. While the datasheet notes the LTC1440 is pin-compatible with MAX921/922/923, the LTC1442 has a different pinout (e.g., IN B– on Pin 4, HYST on Pin 5, REF on Pin 6), whereas MAX922/MAX923 use different assignments (e.g., REF on Pin 8). Direct substitution requires PCB redesign.
