LM119QML
High Speed Dual Comparator
General Description
The LM119 is a precision high speed dual comparator fabri-
cated on a single monolithic chip. It is designed to operate
over a wide range of supply voltages down to a single 5V logic
supply and ground. Further, it has higher gain and lower input
currents than devices like the LM710. The uncommitted col-
lector of the output stage makes the LM119 compatible with
RTL, DTL and TTL as well as capable of driving lamps and
relays at currents up to 25 mA.
Although designed primarily for applications requiring opera-
tion from digital logic supplies, the LM119 is fully specified for
power supplies up to ±15V. It features faster response than
the LM111 at the expense of higher power dissipation. How-
ever, the high speed, wide operating voltage range and low
package count make the LM119 much more versatile than
older devices like the LM711.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature), θJA (package
junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PDmax = (TJmax - TA)/
θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower.
Note 3: For supply voltages less than ±15V the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 4: Human Body model, 1.5KΩ in series with 100pF.
Note 5: VI ≥ 8mV at extremes for ILeak and VI ≤ −8mV at extremes for VSat (VI to exceed VOS.
Note 6: 5V differential across +VCC and −VCC.
Note 7: Parameter guaranteed by VIO and IIO tests.
Note 8: K = V/mV.
Note 9: Gain is computed with an output swing from +13.5V to +1.5V.
Note 10: Gain is computed with an output swing from +5.0V to +0.5V.
Note 11: Output is monitored by measuring VI with limits from 0 to 6mV at all temperatures
Note 12: Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics except as listed in the Post Radiation Limits Table.
These parts may be dose rate sensitive in a space environment and demonstrate enhanced low dose rate effect. Radiation end point limits for the noted parameters
are guaranteed only for the conditions as specified in Mil-Std-883, Method 1019, Condition A.
