These devices have been specifically developed for low-voltage, single-supply applications. Their enhanced performance makes them excellent replacements for the LM393 in today's improved 3-V and 5-V system designs. The TLV1393, with its typical supply current of only 0.16 mA, is ideal for low-power systems. Response time has also been improved to 0.7 s. For higher-speed applications, the TLV2393 features excellent ac performance with a response time of just 0.45 s, three times that of the LM393. Package availability for these devices includes the TSSOP (thin-shrink small-outline package). With a maximum thickness of 1.1 mm and a package area that is 25% smaller than the standard surface-mount package, the TSSOP is ideal for high-density circuits, particularly in hand-held and portable equipment.
