Product details
Overview
LTC1443IS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow power quad comparator IC with integrated 1.182V ±1% precision reference, TTL/CMOS-compatible push-pull outputs, and operation from single 2V–11V or dual ±1V–±5.5V supplies. It delivers ≤8.5µA supply current over temperature, supports input common-mode range from V– to V+ – 1.3V, and sources up to 40mA per output - enabling use in battery-powered voltage monitoring and threshold detection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1443IS#PBF datasheet, LTC1443IS#PBF pinout, LTC1443IS#PBF application, or LTC1443IS#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), SO-16 package compatibility, absence of programmable hysteresis (unlike LTC1444/LTC1445), and pin-compatible upgrade path from MAX924.
Technical Context
The LTC1443IS#PBF integrates four independent comparators sharing a single internal bandgap reference referenced to V–. Its output stage eliminates crowbar current during logic transitions, preventing supply glitches - critical for low-noise, micropower systems. Input leakage is typically ±10pA, supporting high-impedance sensing.
Pin 14 functions as GND (not HYST), distinguishing it from LTC1444/LTC1445 variants. The reference drives up to 0.01µF bypass capacitors without oscillation and maintains ±1.5% accuracy across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Power Supply Sequencing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during charge/discharge cycles to trigger low-battery alerts or cutoff. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad comparator compares cell voltage against multiple thresholds (e.g., 4.2V full, 3.6V nominal, 3.0V critical) using internal reference. Use Value: Eliminates need for external reference IC and reduces BOM count by 3–4 components per monitored rail. | Use Scenario: Ensuring correct power-up order across multiple supply rails (e.g., 5V before 3.3V before 1.8V) in FPGA or microprocessor systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each comparator monitors one rail and asserts enable signals only when voltage exceeds its preset threshold. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or configuration errors caused by out-of-spec sequencing - no external timing components required. |
| Window Comparator | Threshold Detector with Hysteresis |
Use Scenario: Detecting if sensor output (e.g., temperature, pressure) remains within safe operating bounds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two comparators form upper/lower limits using shared REF; third/fourth used for status indication or fault latching. Use Value: Single-chip solution replaces discrete op-amp + reference design - cuts PCB area by >60% and improves thermal tracking. | Use Scenario: Converting slowly varying analog signals (e.g., thermistor voltage) into clean digital logic with noise immunity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator compares signal to REF; external resistors on HYST pin (not applicable to LTC1443) add hysteresis - but LTC1443 uses fixed-output logic for simple on/off decisions. Use Value: Push-pull outputs interface directly with MCU GPIOs; 40mA drive allows direct LED indication without current-limiting resistors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator with reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1441IS#PBF | Dual comparator (2 channels), same 1.182V reference, 5.7µA supply current, 8µs propagation delay | Fewer channels; lower power; faster response - suited for space-constrained dual-threshold designs | Select when only two comparison channels are needed and ultra-low ICC (<6µA) is prioritized over channel count |
| LTC1440CS#PBF | Single comparator, 1.128V ±1% reference, 5.5µA supply current, 8µs propagation delay | Single-channel only; different reference voltage; no pin compatibility - requires schematic redesign | Choose for minimal footprint and lowest possible quiescent current in single-threshold applications |
Compared with LTC1441IS#PBF and LTC1440CS#PBF, the LTC1443IS#PBF provides four independent comparators in one SO-16 package with higher output drive (40mA vs ≤10mA), making it optimal for multi-rail monitoring where channel density and direct load driving matter more than absolute minimum current draw.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of the LTC1443IS#PBF over temperature?
The LTC1443IS#PBF features a 1.182V internal reference with ±1% initial accuracy at 25°C and ±1.5% total variation over the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VREF" with "I Temp Range" conditions, where min/max values are 1.164V and 1.200V respectively.
Does the LTC1443IS#PBF support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the LTC1443IS#PBF supports dual-supply operation from ±1V to ±5.5V. Its pinout includes dedicated V+ and V– pins, and the datasheet explicitly specifies dual-supply capability - unlike LTC1444/LTC1445 which require V– connection for open-drain sinking. The LTC1443IS#PBF's GND pin (Pin 14) is isolated from the output stage to maintain TTL compatibility in split-rail configurations.
Can the LTC1443IS#PBF drive an LED directly without a current-limiting resistor?
No - while the LTC1443IS#PBF can source up to 40mA per output, driving an LED directly risks exceeding forward voltage and damaging the output stage. A series current-limiting resistor is required to set safe LED current (e.g., 5–10mA). The 40mA rating is a maximum continuous capability, not a recommended operating point for sustained loads.
Is the LTC1443IS#PBF pin-compatible with the MAX924?
Yes, the LTC1443IS#PBF is explicitly documented as a pin-compatible upgrade for the MAX924. Both devices use the same SO-16 pinout, share identical functional assignments (including GND on Pin 14), and offer comparable quiescent current and reference accuracy - enabling drop-in replacement without PCB modification.
What is the maximum bypass capacitor the LTC1443IS#PBF reference can drive without oscillation?
The LTC1443IS#PBF reference output can drive a bypass capacitor of up to 0.01µF (10nF) without oscillation, as stated in the Applications Information section and confirmed in the Typical Application diagrams. For larger capacitors (up to 100µF), a series damping resistor (e.g., 430Ω for 1µF) must be added between REF and the capacitor to ensure stability.
