Additional Details

The AS339AP-E1 operates from a single power supply, typically in the range of 2V to 36V. It features open-collector outputs, enabling the comparator to drive a variety of loads, including relays and LEDs. The open-collector outputs require external pull-up resistors to define the high-level output voltage. The comparator has a high input impedance, which minimizes loading of the input signal source. It is commonly used in applications where precise voltage level detection is required. The device is available in a variety of package types, including DIP and SOIC. Due to its EOL status, finding replacements or alternative components might be necessary for new designs. The operating temperature range generally spans from -40°C to +85°C. The propagation delay is a key parameter, impacting the maximum frequency of operation for oscillator and ADC applications. The input offset voltage and input bias current are crucial specifications for precision applications.
