Designed for use in low voltage battery-powered equipment, the AZV3001 comparator has been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. The single-channel device consumes only 6μA and provides guaranteed operation from 1.6 up to 5.5V, making it well-suited for use in mobile phones, tablets and notebook computers, where it delivers superior performance and helps extend battery life.

The comparator features internal hysteresis in order to provide immunity to undesirable small voltage fluctuations and uses a complementary output stage, comprising P- and N-channel MOSFETS, in order to drive outputs with a full rail-to-rail voltage swing. A miniaturised package helps reduce PCB board space: the AZV3001 is offered in a 6-pin X2-DFN1410-6 package.

With a low propagation delay of 0.8μs, a low input bias current of 1pA and no risk of phase inversion when the input is overdriven, these comparators offer embedded system design engineers a general-purpose solution to almost all low-voltage portable device requirements.

The single-channel AZV3001 is available now for $0.15 each in 10,000 unit quantities.The dual-channel AZV3002 will be available later this year in an 8-pin U-FLGA1616-8 package, priced at $0.30 each in 10,000 unit quantities.
