The NE529 is a high-speed analog voltage comparator that combines state-of-the-art Schottky diode technology with conventional linear process. It allows simultaneous fabrication of high-speed TTL gates with a precision linear amplifier on a single chip.
The NE529 voltage comparator combines Schottky diode technology with a conventional linear process, allowing high‑speed TTL gates and a precision linear amplifier on a single monolithic chip. It offers a 10 ns propagation delay, complementary output gates, TTL or ECL compatible outputs, and a typical gain of 5000.
Typical applications include A/D conversion, ECL‑to‑TTL and TTL‑to‑ECL interfaces, memory sensing, and optical data coupling. The device operates from a supply range of +15 V to –15 V and a temperature range of 0 °C to +70 °C, making it suitable for a variety of high‑speed logic and analog interfacing tasks.
