• It can operate over a wide power supply voltage range, from 2V to 36V. 
• This wide range enables it to be used in various circuits with different voltage requirements, providing flexibility in circuit design.
• Low Power Consumption:
•  With a low - power - consumption design, it has a relatively small operating current, 
• which is beneficial for applications where energy efficiency is a concern, such as battery - powered devices.
• High - Speed Response: 
• The LM393DR features a fast response speed, capable of quickly detecting and comparing changes in input voltages, 
• making it suitable for applications that require high - speed comparisons.
