(1) The voltage at either input should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3 V otherwise output may be incorrect and excessive
input current can flow. The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is limited by VCC – 2V. However only one input needs to be
in the valid common mode range, the other input can go up the maximum VCC level and the comparator provides a proper output state.
Either or both inputs can go to maximum VCC level without damage.
(2) This parameter is ensured by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.

(1) The voltage at either input should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.3 V otherwise output may be incorrect and excessive
input current can flow. The upper end of the common-mode voltage range is limited by VCC – 2V. However only one input needs to be
in the valid common mode range, the other input can go up the maximum VCC level and the comparator provides a proper output state.
Either or both inputs can go to maximum VCC level without damage.
(2) This parameter is ensured by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LMx39 and LM2901x are quad comparators with the ability to operate up to an absolute maximum of 36 V
on the supply pin. This standard device has proven ubiquity and versatility across a wide range of applications.
This is due to very wide supply voltages range (2 V up to 32 V), low Iq, and fast response of the device.
The open-drain output allows the user to configure the output logic low voltage (VOL) and allows the comparator
to be used in AND functionality.

Figure 8-1. Schematic (Each Comparator)

8.3 Feature Description


The comparator consists of a PNP Darlington pair input, allowing the device to operate with very high gain
and fast response with minimal input bias current. The input Darlington pair creates a limit on the input common-
mode voltage capability, allowing the comparator to accurately function from ground to (VCC – 1.5 V) differential
input. Allow for (VCC – 2 V) at cold temperature.
The output consists of an open-collector NPN (pulldown or low-side) transistor. The output NPN sinks current
when the negative input voltage is higher than the positive input voltage and the offset voltage. The VOL is
resistive and scales with the output current. See the Section 7 section for VOL values with respect to the output
current.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Voltage Comparison
The comparator operates solely as a voltage comparator, comparing the differential voltage between the positive
and negative pins and outputting a logic low or high impedance (logic high with pullup) based on the input
differential polarity.

9 Application and Implementation


Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information


Typically, a comparator compares either a single signal to a reference, or to two differnt signals. Many users
take advantage of the open-drain output to drive the comparison logic output to a logic voltage level to an MCU
or logic device. The wide supply range and high voltage capability makes LMx39 or LM2901x optimal for level
shifting to a higher or lower voltage.

9.2.1 Design Requirements


For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 9-1 as the input parameters.
Table 9-1. Design Parameters
DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Input Voltage Range 0 V to Vsup-1.5 V
Supply Voltage 4.5 V to VCC maximum
Logic Supply Voltage 0 V to VCC maximum
Output Current (RPULLUP) 1 µA to 4 mA
Input Overdrive Voltage 100 mV
Reference Voltage 2.5 V
Load Capacitance (CL) 15 pF

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure


When using the LMx39 in a general comparator application, determine the following:
• Input voltage range
• Minimum overdrive voltage
• Output and drive current
• Response time
9.2.2.1 Input Voltage Range
When choosing the input voltage range, the input common-mode voltage range (VICR) must be taken in to
account. If temperature operation is above or below 25°C the VICR can range from 0 V to VCC– 2 V. This limits
the input voltage range to as high as VCC– 2 V and as low as 0 V. Operation outside of this range can yield
incorrect comparisons.

The following list describes the outcomes of some input voltage situations.
• When both IN– and IN+ are both within the common-mode range:
– If IN– is higher than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is low and the output transistor is sinking current
– If IN– is lower than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is high impedance and the output transistor is
not conducting
• When IN– is higher than common mode and IN+ is within common mode, the output is low and the output
transistor is sinking current
• When IN+ is higher than common mode and IN– is within common mode, the output is high impedance and
the output transistor is not conducting
• When IN– and IN+ are both higher than common mode, the output is low and the output transistor is sinking
current
9.2.2.2 Minimum Overdrive Voltage
Overdrive voltage is the differential voltage produced between the positive and negative inputs of the comparator
over the offset voltage (VIO). To make an accurate comparison, the overdrive voltage (VOD) must be higher than
the input offset voltage (VIO). Overdrive voltage can also determine the response time of the comparator, with
the response time decreasing with increasing overdrive. Figure 9-2 and Figure 9-3 show positive and negative
response times with respect to overdrive voltage.
9.2.2.3 Output and Drive Current
Output current is determined by the load and pullup resistance and logic and pullup voltage. The output current
produces a low-level output voltage (VOL) from the comparator, where VOL is proportional to the output current.
The output current can also effect the transient response.
9.2.2.4 Response Time
Response time is a function of input over-drive. See the Section 7.19 graphs for typical response times. The rise
and fall times can be determined by the load capacitance (CL), load/pull-up resistance (RPULLUP) and equivalent
collector-emitter resistance (RCE).
• The rise time (τR) is approximately τR~ RPULLUP × CL
• The fall time (τF) is approximately τF ~ RCE × CL
– RCE can be determined by taking the slope of Figure 7-35 in its linear region at the desired temperature, or
by dividing the VOL by IOUT

10 Power Supply Recommendations


For fast response and comparison applications with noisy or AC inputs, use a bypass capacitor on the supply
pin to reject any variation on the supply voltage. This variation can affect the common-mode range of the
comparator input and create an inaccurate comparison.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
To create an accurate comparator application without hysteresis, maintain a stable power supply with minimized
noise and glitches, which can affect the high level input common-mode voltage range. To achieve this accuracy,
add a bypass capacitor between the supply voltage and ground. Place a bypass capacitor on the positive power
supply and negative supply (if available).

Note
If a negative supply is not being used, do not place a capacitor between the GND pin of the device
and system ground.
