PhilipsNE 529N

The Philips NE529N High-Speed Dual Voltage Comparator 10ns TTL/ECL PDIP-14 is a high-speed dual analog voltage comparator with complementary logic outputs and TTL or ECL compatibility for fast conversion and sensing applications.

Technical description

Philips NE529N uses Schottky technology and provides approximately 10-12ns typical propagation delay, complementary outputs and typical gain of 5000. The analog section uses V1+ of about +5V to +10V and V1- of about -6V to -10V, while logic supply V2+ is 4.75-5.25V. Common-mode input range is approximately -5V to 0V under the specified conditions. The N version is plastic PDIP-14.

Indicative applications

Suitable for A/D conversion, ECL-to-TTL and TTL-to-ECL interfaces, memory sensing, optical data coupling and high-speed threshold detection.

Compatibility note

NE529N requires multiple supply rails and is not a drop-in replacement for a common single-supply comparator. Verify V1+, V1-, V2+, strobe inputs and the PDIP-14 pinout.
