Working Principle
The LMC7211 uses a CMOS input stage achieving picoampere input bias current. The output stage is push-pull CMOS, actively driving both high and low without external pull-up resistor. The comparator uses a two-stage architecture: a differential input pair feeds a gain stage that drives the CMOS output. Micropower is achieved by biasing the input stage at sub-microampere levels. The device operates in both single and split supply configurations.
