Texas Instruments LM293 Dual Comparator – Precision, Low-Power Analog Comparator for Industrial and Automotive Systems
그리고 LM293 is a dual differential comparator from 텍사스 인스트루먼트 designed to provide low-offset, fast response in analog signal processing environments. Featuring a wide supply range of 2 V to 36 V and an input offset voltage as low as 2 mV, the LM293 is ideal for voltage level detection, sensor threshold control, and monitoring functions.
This device supports both single and split supply operation and is well-suited for battery-operated systems, industrial controls, and automotive electronics. The LM293’s open-collector outputs allow it to interface directly with TTL and CMOS logic levels, making it highly adaptable for mixed-signal system designs.
