9-; Rev ; / Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower, General Description The MAX9 MAX9 single/dual/quad micropower comparators feature rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, and fully specified single-supply operation down to +.V. These devices draw less than µa per comparator and have open-drain outputs that can be pulled beyond to V (max) above ground. In addition, their rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range makes these comparators suitable for ultra-low-voltage operation. A +.V to +.V single-supply operating voltage range makes the MAX9 family of comparators ideal for -cell battery-powered applications. The MAX9/MAX9/ MAX9/MAX99 offer programmable hysteresis and an internal.v ±.% reference. All devices are available in either space-saving -pin µmax or -pin QSOP packages.

These devices operate from a single +.V to +.V supply voltage range, and consume less than µa supply current per comparator over the extended temperature range. Internal hysteresis is programmable up to ±mv using two external resistors and the device s internal reference. The rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range and the open-drain outputs allow easy voltage-level conversion for multivoltage systems. All inputs and outputs can tolerate a continuous short-circuit fault condition to either rail. The MAX9 is a single comparator with adjustable hysteresis and a reference output pin. The MAX9 is a dual comparator without the reference and without adjustable hysteresis. The MAX9 is a dual comparator configured as a dual voltage monitor with common hysteresis adjustment and a reference output. The dual MAX9 is similar to the MAX9, but is configured as a window comparator. The MAX99 is a quad comparator with a common hysteresis adjustment and a reference output pin. The MAX9 is a quad comparator without a reference and without hysteresis adjustment. (See Functional Diagrams and Selector Guide.) Comparator Input The MAX9 MAX9 have a -.V to input common-mode range. Both comparator inputs may operate at any differential voltage within the common-mode voltage range, and the comparator displays the correct output logic state. Low-Voltage Operation: VCC Down to V The minimum operating voltage is.v. As the supply voltage falls below.v, performance degrades and supply current falls. The reference does not

function below about.v, although the comparators typically continue to operate with a supply voltage as low as V. At low supply voltages (<.V), the input common-mode range remains rail-to-rail, but the comparator s output sink capability is reduced and propagation delay increases (see Typical Operating Characteristics). Figure shows a typical comparator application that monitors at.v. Resistor divider R/R sets the voltage trip point (V TRIP ) at.v. As drops below.v and approaches V, the reference voltage typically falls below the divider voltage (V+). This causes the comparator output to change state. If s state must be maintained under these conditions, a latching circuit is required. Comparator Output The MAX9 MAX9 contain a unique slew-ratecontrolled output stage capable of rail-to-rail operation with an external pull-up resistor. Typical comparators consume orders of magnitude more current during switching than during steady-state operation. With the MAX9 family of comparators, during an output transition from high to low, the output slew rate is limited to minimize switching current. Voltage Reference With greater than.v but less than.v, the internal.v bandgap reference is ±.% accurate over the commercial temperature range and ±.% accurate over the extended temperature range. The output is typically capable of sourcing µa. To reduce reference noise or to provide noise immunity, bypass with a capacitor (.nf to.µf). Noise Considerations The comparator has an effective wideband peak-topeak noise of around µv. The voltage reference has peak-to-peak noise approaching.mv with a.µf bypass capacitor. Thus, when a comparator is used with the reference, the combined peak-to-peak noise is about.mv. This, of course, is much higher than the individual components RMS noise. Avoid capacitive coupling from any output to the reference pin. Crosstalk can significantly increase the references actual noise. Applications Information Hysteresis Many comparators oscillate in the linear region of operation because of noise or undesired parasitic feedback. This tends to occur when the voltage on one input is equal or very close to the voltage on the other input. The MAX9 MAX9 have internal hysteresis to counter parasitic effects and noise. In addition, with the use of external resistor, the MAX9/MAX9/ MAX9/MAX99 s hysteresis can be programmed to as much as ±mv (see the section Adding Hysteresis to the MAX9/MAX9/MAX9/MAX99). The hysteresis in a comparator creates two trip points: one for the rising input voltage and one for the falling input voltage (Figure ). The difference between the trip points is the hysteresis. When the comparator s input voltages are equal, the hysteresis effectively causes one comparator input voltage to move quickly past the other, thus taking the input out of the region where oscillation occurs.

MAX9 MAX9 Figure illustrates the case in which IN- has a fixed voltage applied, and IN+ is varied. If the inputs were reversed, the figure would be the same, except with an inverted output. Adding Hysteresis to the MAX9/MAX9/MAX9/MAX99 To add hysteresis to the MAX9/MAX9/MAX9/ MAX99, connect resistor R between and, and connect resistor R between and (Figure ). If additional hysteresis is not required, connect to. When hysteresis is added, the upper and lower trip points change by the same amount in opposite directions. The hysteresis band (the difference between the upper and lower trip points, V HB ) is approximately twice the voltage between and. The input voltage range is from down to ( - mv). This yields a hysteresis band from ±mv to a maximum of ±mv. Calculate the values of R and R for the desired hysteresis band with the following formulas: R = V HB / I R = (V - V HB ) / I where I (the current sourced by the reference) does not exceed the source capability (µa typical), and is significantly larger than the leakage current (na typical). I values between.µa and µa are good choices. If.MΩ is chosen for R (I =.µa), the equation for R and V HB can be approximated as: R(kΩ) = x V HB (mv) In the MAX9/MAX9/MAX99, the pin programs the same hysteresis for all comparators in the package. Due to the internal structure of the input developed for ultra-low-voltage operation, the hysteresis band varies with common-mode voltage. The graph Programmed Hysteresis vs. Common-Mode Voltage in the Typical Operating Characteristics shows this variation. Notice that the hysteresis band increases to almost twice the calculated value toward the ends of the common-mode range. This is apparent only when programming additional hysteresis using the pin. The hysteresis band is constant when is connected to. Adding Hysteresis to the MAX9/MAX9 The MAX9/MAX9 do not have a pin for programming hysteresis. Hysteresis can be generated with three resistors using positive feedback (Figure ). This method generally draws more current than the method using the pin on the MAX9/MAX9/MAX9/ MAX99. Also, the positive feedback method slows hysteresis response time. Use the following procedure to calculate the resistor values: ) Select R. The leakage current of IN+ is under na, so the current through R should be at least na to minimize errors caused by leakage current. The current through R at the trip point is (V - V ) / R. Taking into consideration the two possible output states and solving for R yields two formulas: and R = V / na R = (V - ) / na Use the smaller of the two resulting resistor values. For example, if V =.V and =.V, then the two resistor values are.mω and.mω. For R, choose the.mω standard value. ) Choose the hysteresis band required (V HB ). For this example, choose mv.

) Calculate R: R = (R + R) x (V HB / ). Putting in the values for this example, R = (.MΩ + kω) x (mv /.V) =.kω. ) Choose the trip point for V IN rising. This is the threshold voltage where the comparator output transitions from low to high as V IN rises above the trip point. For this example, choose.v. ) Calculate R as follows: R = VTHR V x R R R + R R =. V. x kω kω. MΩ + kω where V THR is the rising-voltage trip threshold. Choose a standard value of kω. ) Verify trip voltages and hysteresis as follows: VIN risin g: VTHR = V x R x + + R R R + R VIN falling: R x V VTHF = V CC THR R + R Hysteresis = VTHR VTHF =. kω IR Receiver Figure shows an application using the MAX9 as an infrared receiver. The infrared photodiode creates a current relative to the amount of infrared light present. This current creates a voltage across R. When this voltage level crosses the reference voltage applied to the inverting input, the output transitions. Optional R provides additional hysteresis for noise immunity. -Cell to TTL Logic-Level Shifter Figure shows an application using the MAX9 to convert a -cell voltage-level signal into a TTLcompatible signal.
