Ultra Low-Power Devices from STMicroelectronics Enhance Portable Technology for Healthcare, Safety, Security and More
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
First in new family of comparators offers industry-leading power consumption and
speed for faster performance and longer battery life
Geneva, December 13, 2012 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, has leveraged its advanced design and manufacturing capabilities
to create a new generation of accurate low-power components enabling greatly
improved energy efficiency and faster operation of equipment such as gas
sensors, medical devices, safety systems and industrial controls.
The TS881 is the first in ST's new generation of comparators compatible with
supply voltages as low as 1.1V over a wide temperature range, enabling longer
operating times with smaller batteries. Suitable for use in front-end detection
and measurement circuitry, the TS881 is also faster than competing devices,
allowing a significant reduction in equipment response times.
Leveraging ST's innovations in analog design, with very low operating current of
210nA (typical at 25°C), the TS881 draws less than half the current of competing
devices. Moreover the push-pull output circuitry reduces power consumption to
the absolute minimum when driving any capacitive or resistive load.
The TS881 will be joined in 2013 by dual and quad variants containing two and
four comparators in a single package. This new generation of devices extends
ST's industry-leading portfolio of comparators, which includes the TS3011,
announced in 2011, delivering the market's fastest response time of 8ns with
very low current consumption.
Major features of TS881:
* Typical operating current: 210nA ((at) 25°C)
* Typical propagation delay: 2µs
* Temperature range: - 40°C to + 125°C
* Operating voltage range: 1.1V to 5V (1.1V operation guaranteed over full
temperature range)
* ESD tolerance: 8kV HBM (Human Body Model)
* Rail-to-rail input
* Push-pull output
The TS881 is in production now and available in the 2 x 1.25 mm SC-70 package,
priced from $0.39 for orders over 1,000 pieces. Alternative pricing for higher
quantities is available on request.
