The LM397 is a single voltage comparator with an input common mode that includes ground. The LM397 is designed to operate from a single 5V to 30V power supply or a split power supply. Its low supply current is virtually independent of the magnitude of the supply voltage. The LM397 features an open collector output stage. This allows the connection of an external resistor.
The National LM397MF is a general voltage comparator. It has a -40 to+85 temperature range and is offered in a 5 pin SOT23 package.
