DESCRIPTION
The LT®1716 comparator operates on any total power supply voltage between 2.7V and 44V drawing 35µA of quiescent current. The LT1716 has a unique input stage that can be taken 44V above V–, independent of V+ supply. (Built-in resistors protect the inputs for faults below the negative supply of up to 5V.) The inputs can withstand 44V both differential and common mode.

FEATURES
■ Operates from 2.7V to 44V
