The LM6511 voltage comparator is ideal for analog-digital interface circuitry when only a +3V or +3.3V supply is available. The open-collector output permits signal compatibility with a wide variety of digital families: +5V CMOS, +3V CMOS, TTL and so on. Supply voltage may range from 2.7V to 36V between supply voltage leads. The LM6511 operates with little power consumption (P_diss < 9.45 mW at V⁺ = +2.7V and V^- = 0V).

This voltage comparator offers many features that are available in traditional sub-microsecond comparators: output sync strobe, inputs and output may be isolated from system ground, and wire-ORing. Also, the LM6511 uses the industry-standard, single comparator pinout configuration.
