The MCP6543T-I/MS is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a single comparator with an open-drain output, designed for a wide range of applications.
One of the key features of the MCP6543T-I/MS is its low power consumption. It operates on a supply voltage range of 1.6V to 5.5V, which makes it suitable for both battery-powered and low-power applications. The low quiescent current of only 10 microamps (typical) further enhances its energy efficiency.
Another significant feature is the open-drain output. The open-drain configuration allows the output to be connected to either a pull-up resistor or an external voltage supply, enhancing the flexibility of the IC. This feature is particularly useful in applications where signaling is required, such as level shifting or interfacing with different logic families.
The MCP6543T-I/MS also exhibits a high voltage tolerance on its inputs. It can handle input voltages up to 5.5V without any external protection components. This high-voltage capability makes it suitable for use in different systems where input voltages may vary, providing robustness and reliable performance.
The IC component offers excellent performance in terms of response time. It has a fast propagation delay of only 10ns (typical) and a response time of 20ns (typical)
