The LM2901NG is a quad, voltage comparator IC (integrated circuit) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is part of the LM290x series of comparators, which are commonly used in various analog and digital applications.
Here are some key features of the LM2901NG:
1. Quad Comparator: The LM2901NG contains four independent voltage comparators in a single package.
2. Low Power Consumption: It is designed for low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
3. Wide Input Voltage Range: The LM2901NG supports a wide input voltage range, typically from -0.3V to Vcc + 0.3V, where Vcc is the supply voltage.
4. Rail-to-Rail Outputs: The outputs of the comparators can swing from ground (GND) to the positive supply voltage (Vcc).
5. Open-Collector Outputs: The outputs are open-collector, allowing for versatile connectivity and compatibility with various logic families.
6. Wide Supply Voltage Range: It can operate with a supply voltage ranging from 2V to 36V.
7. Package Type: The "NG" in the part number indicates the package type, which is a PDIP-14 (Plastic Dual-In-Line Package) with a through-hole design.
The LM2901NG is commonly used in applications such as threshold detection, window comparators, level shifters, voltage monitoring, and other circuitry that requires comparing two analog voltage inputs.
