5.1.7 Push-Pull Outputs, Dual Versions

The LMC7211 is a comparator similar to the LMC7221, but with push-pull outputs which can source current.

The performance of the LMC7221 is available in a dual device. Please see the LMC6772 data sheet. For a dual device with push-pull outputs, please see the LMC6762 data sheet.
