LM397 LM397 Single General Purpose Voltage Comparator Literature Number: SNOS977C LM397 Single General Purpose Voltage Comparator General Description Features 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 at the output. The output can directly interface with TTL, CMOS and other logic levels, by tying the resistor to different voltage levels (level translator). (TA = 25C.

The equivalent circuit for the three resistor network is R1 in parallel with R3 and in series with R2. The lower threshold voltage VT1 is calculated by: VT1 = ((VS R2) / (((R1 R3) / (R1 + R3)) + R2)) When VIN is greater than VT, the output voltage is low. The equivalent circuit for the three resistor network is R2 in parallel with R3 and in series with R1. The upper threshold voltage VT2 is calculated by: VT2 = VS ((R2 R3) / (R2 + R3)) / (R1 + ((R2 R3) / (R2 + R3))) A comparator is quite often used to convert an analog signal to a digital signal. The comparator compares an input voltage (VIN) at the non-inverting pin to the reference voltage (VREF) at the inverting pin. If VIN is less than VREF the output (VO) is low (VOL). However, if VIN is greater than VREF, the output voltage (VO) is high (VOH). Refer to Figure 2. The hysteresis is defined as VIN = VT1 - VT2 20022110 20022112 20022111 FIGURE 2. Basic Comparator Hysteresis The basic comparator configuration may oscillate or produce a noisy output if the applied differential input is near the comparator's input offset voltage. This tends to occur when the voltage on the input is equal or very close to the other input voltage. Adding hysteresis can prevent this problem. Hysteresis creates two switching thresholds (one for the rising input voltage and the other for the falling input voltage). Hysteresis is the voltage difference between the two switching thresholds. When both inputs are nearly equal, hysteresis causes one input to effectively move quickly pass the other. Thus, effectively moving the input out of region that oscillation may occur. For an inverting configured comparator, hysteresis can be added with a three resistor network and positive feedback. www.national.com 20022113 FIGURE 3. Inverting Configured Comparator - LM397 4 LM397 Application Notes (Continued) Input Stage The LM397 has a bipolar input stage. The input common mode voltage range is from 0 to (VS - 1.5V). Output Stage The LM397 has an open collector grounded-emitter NPN output transistor for the output stage. This requires an external pull-up resistor connected between the positive supply voltage and the output. The external pull-up resistor should be high enough resistance so to avoid excessive power dissipation. In addition, the pull-up resistor should be low enough resistance to enable the comparator to switch with the load circuitry connected. Because it is an open collector output stage, several comparator outputs can be connected together to create an OR'ing function output. With an open collector, the output can be used as a simple SPST switch to ground.The amount of current which the output can sink is approximately 10mA. When the maximum current limit is reached, the output transistor will saturate and the output will rise rapidly (Figure 4). 20022107 FIGURE 4.
