Product details
Overview
NCX2222GUX from NXP Semiconductors is a dual, low-voltage, low-power comparator with open-drain outputs, designed for rail-to-rail input/output operation across 1.3 V to 5.5 V supply. It delivers 5 µA per comparator supply current, 0.8 µs typical propagation delay at 20 mV overdrive, and internal 9 mV hysteresis-enabling precise threshold detection in battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NCX2222GUX datasheet, NCX2222GUX pinout, NCX2222GUX application, or NCX2222GUX equivalent, key selection considerations include its guaranteed 1.3 V operation, ESD robustness (HBM >1500 V), open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage logic translation, and thermal-enhanced HXSON8 package for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCX2222GUX integrates two independent comparators with N-channel open-drain output stages, each sinking up to 5 mA while maintaining rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 0.1 V beyond VEE and VCC. Its internal hysteresis (6–13 mV) eliminates noise-induced output oscillation without external components.
It operates functionally from 1.3 V to 5.5 V, with static characteristics specified across −40 °C to +85 °C and dynamic performance validated at 20 mV input overdrive into 15 pF load. Input bias current is ultra-low at 1.0 pA, and offset voltage is tightly controlled to ±30 mV over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.3 V to 5.5 V functional operation-supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), 3.0 V, and 5.0 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current per Comparator | 5.0 µA typical-enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor monitoring circuits. |
| Propagation Delay | 0.8 µs typical at 20 mV overdrive-suitable for fast-response zero-crossing detection and window comparators. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±30 mV max over −40 °C to +85 °C-ensures reliable threshold accuracy in industrial ambient conditions. |
| Hysteresis Voltage | 6–13 mV typical-provides built-in noise immunity for clean switching in noisy environments like motor control feedback. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >1500 V, CDM >1000 V-reduces need for external protection in handheld device front-ends. |
| Output Configuration | Open-drain N-channel-allows wired-OR logic, flexible pull-up voltage selection (e.g., 1.8 V/3.3 V/5 V), and level translation. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparators detect row/column voltage drops during keypress, generating interrupt signals to ARM7-based host. Use Value: Rail-to-rail inputs accept varying scan voltages; 0.8 µs propagation delay enables sub-millisecond response time across 16-key matrices. |
Use Scenario: Converting analog outputs from pressure, temperature, or current-loop sensors into digital alerts in factory automation nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as window comparator to flag out-of-spec sensor readings (e.g., 4–20 mA loop fault detection). Use Value: Wide 1.3–5.5 V supply range allows direct use with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 24 V industrial supplies via local LDO; ESD rating protects against field-installation transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3702IDR | Higher supply current (12 µA/comparator); no internal hysteresis; SOIC-8 only | Requires external hysteresis resistors; less suitable for ultra-low-power designs | Choose TLV3702IDR only if SOIC-8 footprint is mandatory and higher quiescent current is acceptable. |
| MAX9062ASA+ | Wider supply range (1.6–5.5 V); 1.5 µs propagation delay; no rail-to-rail inputs | Cannot monitor signals near VEE or VCC rails; slower response limits high-speed edge detection | Select MAX9062ASA+ only when input common-mode range requirements are relaxed and thermal performance is secondary. |
Compared with TLV3702IDR and MAX9062ASA+, the NCX2222GUX uniquely combines 1.3 V operation, internal hysteresis, rail-to-rail inputs, and HXSON8 thermal efficiency-making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-critical, noise-prone embedded sensing nodes.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the NCX2222GUX?
The NCX2222GUX is guaranteed to operate down to 1.3 V, making it suitable for single-cell lithium-ion or alkaline battery applications where supply voltage drops significantly under load. This specification is validated across the full −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range and confirmed in Table 5 of the official NXP datasheet Rev. 1.
Does the NCX2222GUX require external hysteresis components?
No, the NCX2222GUX includes internal hysteresis of 6–13 mV, eliminating the need for external positive feedback resistors. This feature is explicitly documented in Table 6 (Static Characteristics) and Section 13.1 (Operating Description) of the datasheet, improving design simplicity and board area efficiency.
What package type is used for the NCX2222GUX?
The NCX2222GUX uses the HXSON8 package (SOT972-2): a thermal-enhanced, leadless, extremely thin small outline package measuring 1.35 mm × 1.7 mm × 0.5 mm with 8 terminals. Pin 1 is marked in the lower-left corner, as shown in Figure 2 and Package Outline SOT972-2 (Figure 17).
Can the NCX2222GUX be used as a logic level translator?
Yes-the NCX2222GUX's open-drain outputs and rail-to-rail inputs enable bidirectional logic level translation. As demonstrated in Figure 15 of the datasheet, it converts 3 V logic signals to 5 V logic by using separate pull-up resistors on each output, preserving signal integrity without active buffering.
What is the maximum sink current capability of each NCX2222GUX output?
Each open-drain output of the NCX2222GUX can sink up to 5 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3 V at VCC = 5.5 V, as specified in Table 6 (Static Characteristics). This allows direct driving of LEDs, MOSFET gates, or microcontroller interrupt inputs without additional driver stages.
