19-1226; Rev 3; 2/07 Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower, Ultra-Low-Voltage, Rail-to-Rail I/O Comparators ____________________________Features The MAX965-MAX970 single/dual/quad micropower comparators feature rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, and fully specified single-supply operation down to +1.6V. These devices draw less than 5A per comparator and have open-drain outputs that can be pulled beyond VCC to 6V (max) above ground. In addition, their rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range makes these comparators suitable for ultra-low-voltage operation. A +1.6V to +5.5V single-supply operating voltage range makes the MAX965 family of comparators ideal for 2-cell battery-powered applications. The MAX965/MAX967/ MAX968/MAX969 offer programmable hysteresis and an internal 1.235V 1.5% reference. All devices are available in either space-saving 8-pin MAX(R) or 16-pin QSOP packages.

These devices operate from a single +1.6V to +5.5V supply voltage range, and consume less than 5A supply current per comparator over the extended temperature range. Internal hysteresis is programmable up to 50mV 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 MAX965 is a single comparator with adjustable hysteresis and a reference output pin. The MAX966 is a dual comparator without the reference and without adjustable hysteresis. The MAX967 is a dual compara- tor configured as a dual voltage monitor with common hysteresis adjustment and a reference output. The dual MAX968 is similar to the MAX967, but is configured as a window comparator. The MAX969 is a quad comparator with a common hysteresis adjustment and a reference output pin. The MAX970 is a quad comparator without a reference and without hysteresis adjustment. (See Functional Diagrams and Selector Guide.) Comparator Input The MAX965-MAX970 have a -0.25V to VCC 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 1V The minimum operating voltage is 1.6V. As the supply voltage falls below 1.6V, performance degrades and supply current falls.

Resistor divider R1/R2 sets the voltage trip point (VTRIP) at 1.6V. As VCC drops below 1.6V and approaches 1V, the reference voltage typically falls below the divider voltage (V+). This causes the comparator output to change state. If OUT's state must be maintained under these conditions, a latching circuit is required. Comparator Output The MAX965-MAX970 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 MAX965 family of comparators, during an output transition from high to low, the output slew rate is limited to minimize switching current. Voltage Reference With VCC greater than 1.6V but less than 5.5V, the internal 1.235V bandgap reference is 1.5% accurate over the commercial temperature range and 2.5% accurate over the extended temperature range. The REF output is typically capable of sourcing 50A. To reduce reference noise or to provide noise immunity, bypass REF with a capacitor (0.1nF to 0.1F). Noise Considerations The comparator has an effective wideband peak-topeak noise of around 10V. The voltage reference has peak-to-peak noise approaching 1.0mV with a 0.1F bypass capacitor. Thus, when a comparator is used with the reference, the combined peak-to-peak noise is about 1.0mV. 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 MAX965-MAX970 have internal hysteresis to counter parasitic effects and noise. In addition, with the use of external resistor, the MAX965/MAX967/ MAX968/MAX969's hysteresis can be programmed to as much as 50mV (see the section Adding Hysteresis to the MAX965/MAX967/MAX968/MAX969). The hysteresis in a comparator creates two trip points: one for the rising input voltage and one for the falling input voltage (Figure 2). 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.

Threshold Hysteresis Band _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX965-MAX970 function below about 1.5V, although the comparators typically continue to operate with a supply voltage as low as 1V. At low supply voltages (<1.6V), 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). MAX965-MAX970 Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower, Ultra-Low-Voltage, Rail-to-Rail I/O Comparators Figure 2 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 MAX965/MAX967/MAX968/MAX969 To add hysteresis to the MAX965/MAX967/MAX968/ MAX969, connect resistor R1 between REF and HYST, and connect resistor R2 between HYST and GND (Figure 3). If additional hysteresis is not required, connect HYST to REF. 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, VHB) is approximately twice the voltage between HYST and REF. The HYST input voltage range is from REF down to (REF - 50mV). This yields a hysteresis band from 1mV to a maximum of 50mV. Calculate the values of R1 and R2 for the desired hysteresis band with the following formulas: R1 = VHB / IREF R2 = (VREF - VHB) / IREF where IREF (the current sourced by the reference) does not exceed the REF source capability (12A typical), and is significantly larger than the HYST leakage current (5nA typical). IREF values between 0.1A and 4A are good choices. If 2.4M is chosen for R2 (IREF = 0.5A), the equation for R1 and VHB can be approximated as: R1(k) = 2 x VHB (mV) In the MAX967/MAX968/MAX969, the HYST 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 HYST pin. The hysteresis band is constant when HYST is connected to REF. Adding Hysteresis to the MAX966/MAX970 The MAX966/MAX970 do not have a HYST pin for programming hysteresis. Hysteresis can be generated with three resistors using positive feedback (Figure 4). This method generally draws more current than the method using the HYST pin on the MAX965/MAX967/MAX968/ MAX969. Also, the positive feedback method slows hysteresis response time. Use the following procedure to calculate the resistor values: 1) Select R3. The leakage current of IN+ is under 5nA, so the current through R3 should be at least 500nA to minimize errors caused by leakage current. The current through R3 at the trip point is (VREF - VOUT) / R3. Taking into consideration the two possible output states and solving for R3 yields two formulas: R3 = VREF / 500nA and R3 = (VREF - VCC) / 500nA Use the smaller of the two resulting resistor values. For example, if VREF = 1.2V and VCC = 5.0V, then the two resistor values are 2.4M and 7.6m. For R3, choose the 2.2M standard value. 2) Choose the hysteresis band required (VHB). For this example, choose 50mV. VCC +1.6V TO +5.5V R3 IREF REF VCC R1 R1 HYST R2 MAX965 MAX967 MAX968 MAX969 R4 VIN VCC GND GND VREF Figure 3.

The infrared photodiode creates a current relative to the amount of infrared light present. This current creates a voltage across R1. When this voltage level crosses the reference voltage applied to the inverting input, the output transitions.

Choose a standard value of 15k. 6) Verify trip voltages and hysteresis as follows: VCC RPULLUP VIN rising : RD 1 1 1 VTHR = VREF x R1 x + + R1 R2 R3 + R4 VCC HYST GND 0.1F OUT REF MAX965 VIN falling : R1 x VCC VTHF = VTHR - R3 + R4 Figure 5. IR Receiver Hysteresis = VTHR - VTHF where VTHR is the rising-voltage trip point, and VTHF is the falling-voltage trip point. 2 CELLS 0.1F +5V Circuit Layout and Bypassing Power-supply bypass capacitors are not needed if supply impedance is low, but 100nF bypass capacitors should be used when supply impedance is high or when supply leads are long. Minimize signal lead lengths to reduce stray capacitance between the input and output that might cause instability.

Putting in the values for this example, R1 = (2.2M + 10k) x (50mV / 5.0V) = 22.1k. 4) Choose the trip point for V IN rising. This is the threshold voltage where the comparator output transitions from low to high as VIN rises above the trip point. For this example, choose 3.0V.
