Product Overview
The LM339N is a quad differential comparator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It consists of four independent voltage comparators designed to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. The device features low input bias current, low offset voltage, and outputs that can sink up to 25mA, making it one of the most popular general-purpose comparators for industrial and consumer applications.
