Product details
Overview
LTC1445CS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow power quad comparator with integrated 1.221V ±1% bandgap reference, TTL/CMOS-compatible push-pull outputs, programmable hysteresis via HYST pin, and operation from 2V to 11V single supply. 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 - used in battery-powered voltage monitoring and precision threshold detection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1445CS#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1445CS#TRPBF pinout, LTC1445CS#TRPBF application, or LTC1445CS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.221V reference accuracy, 12µs typical propagation delay at 10mV overdrive, 40mA continuous output source capability, and compatibility with SO-16 package layout for space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The LTC1445CS#TRPBF integrates four independent comparators sharing a precision internal reference referenced to V–, enabling self-contained threshold detection without external voltage references. Its HYST pin allows resistor-programmed hysteresis (REF to HYST ≤50mV), yielding up to 100mV input hysteresis band while maintaining micropower operation.
Each comparator features rail-to-rail input capability down to V– and within 1.3V of V+, ±10pA typical input leakage, and CMOS push-pull outputs that eliminate crowbar current during switching - critical for low-noise, glitch-free operation in sensitive analog subsystems powered from weak or high-impedance supplies.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1444CS#TRPBF | Open-drain outputs (sinks only), same 1.221V reference and HYST functionality | Requires external pull-up resistors; better suited for wired-OR bus interfacing or level translation | Select when interfacing to multiple loads sharing a common bus or needing V–-referenced sinking only |
| LTC1440CS8#TRPBF | Single comparator, 1.128V ±1% reference, 5.7µA supply current, SO-8 package | Lower integration; requires three additional devices for quad functionality and separate reference routing | Select when board space permits discrete implementation or when 1.128V threshold is required |
Compared with LTC1444CS#TRPBF, LTC1445CS#TRPBF offers push-pull outputs eliminating pull-ups, while LTC1440CS8#TRPBF trades integration for smaller footprint and lower per-channel cost in non-quad applications.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage tolerance of the LTC1445CS#TRPBF over temperature?
The LTC1445CS#TRPBF features a 1.221V bandgap reference with ±1% initial accuracy at 25°C and ±1.5% maximum deviation over the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VREF parameter with "l" notation indicating full-range applicability.
Can the LTC1445CS#TRPBF operate from a 2.5V single supply?
Yes, the LTC1445CS#TRPBF supports single-supply operation from 2V to 11V. At 2.5V, it maintains full functionality: input common-mode range extends from GND to 1.2V (V+ – 1.3V), reference remains stable, and outputs swing rail-to-rail. Supply current increases slightly to ~6.5µA at 2.5V per Typical Performance Characteristics graph G02.
How is hysteresis programmed on the LTC1445CS#TRPBF?
Hysteresis is programmed by connecting two resistors between REF, HYST, and V–. The voltage difference between REF and HYST sets half the input hysteresis band (VHB/2). For example, a 25mV difference yields 50mV total hysteresis. The HYST pin accepts voltages from REF – 50mV to REF; exceeding this range invalidates hysteresis behavior per Pin Functions description.
Does the LTC1445CS#TRPBF require external bypass capacitors?
The LTC1445CS#TRPBF reference output can drive up to 0.01µF directly without oscillation, so no external damping resistor is needed for small bypass caps. However, for V+ supply bypassing, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended when source impedance exceeds 1Ω or output load exceeds 1mA, as stated in Applications Information section under "Power Supplies".
What is the maximum continuous output source current per comparator in the LTC1445CS#TRPBF?
Each comparator output in the LTC1445CS#TRPBF can continuously source up to 40mA while maintaining specified performance, as confirmed in both the "Features" list and Applications Information section. This capability is validated across the full temperature range and enables direct driving of LEDs, small solenoids, or logic inputs without external buffers.
