I cant find a physically small dual (or single) version of the LM211. The circuit
input signals go below the comparator's 5v output return
I need a Ta temperature rating of -40C to 125C.
Can I use a single supply comparator as shown in the attached
sketch? Possibly the TLV3502 dual? Will it be reliable over temperature long term?
Will the slight flooding of the substrate cause any malfunction (non destructive)
of other functions in the chip? Usually there is a safe negative input current
drawn out through lower protection diodes and keeping below this current insures
proper operation. This current will may have a lower magnitude than the
10ma "Signal Input Terminals current" under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS.
The Tina spice model for the TLV3501 does not clamp at Vee and
works properly with a large negative input voltage. So the spice model
does not yield information to help answer this question.
