LM393 DIP Quad Dual Supply Comparators IC

Product Description: LM393 DIP Quad Dual Supply Comparators

The LM393 is a versatile and widely used quad dual-supply comparator IC designed for comparing voltages and generating output signals based on the comparison results. Housed in an 8-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP), this IC features four independent comparators that operate from dual supply voltages, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in analog and digital systems. The LM393 operates with a low power supply current, making it ideal for battery-powered circuits. Each comparator has an open collector output, allowing it to be easily interfaced with other logic circuits or used in interfacing with microcontrollers, sensors, and other digital systems.

Key Features:

• Type: Quad Dual-Supply Comparator IC
