LMV7235/LMV7239/

LMV7239Q

75 nsec, Ultra Low Power, Low Voltage, Rail-to-Rail Input Comparator

with Open-Drain/Push-Pull Output

General Description

The LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q are ultra low power, low

voltage, 75 nsec comparators. They are guaranteed to oper-

ate over the full supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. These

devices achieve a 75 nsec propagation delay while consum-

ing only 65µA of supply current at 5V.

The LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q have a greater than rail-

to-rail common mode voltage range. The input common mode

voltage range extends 200mV below ground and 200mV

above supply, allowing both ground and supply sensing.

The LMV7235 features an open drain output. By connecting

an external resistor, the output of the comparator can be used

as a level shifter.

The LMV7239/LMV7239Q features a push-pull output stage.

This feature allows operation without the need of an external

pull-up resistor.

The LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q are available in the 5-

Pin SC70 and 5-Pin SOT23 packages, which are ideal for

systems where small size and low power is critical.

also depend on the application and configuration. The typical values are not tested and are not guaranteed on shipped production material.

Note 6: All limits are guaranteed by testing or statistical analysis.

Note 7: CMRR is not linear over the common mode range. Limits are guaranteed over the worst case from 0 to VCC/2 or VCC/2 to VCC.

Note 8: Propagation Delay Skew is defined as the absolute value of the difference between tPDLH and tPDHL.

Note 9: Limiting input pin current is only necessary for input voltages that exceed absolute maximum input voltage ratings.

LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q

Application Information

The LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q are single supply comparators with 75ns of propagation delay and only 65µA of supply current.

The LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q are rail-to-rail input and output. The typical input common mode voltage range of −0.2V below

the ground to 0.2V above the supply. The LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q use a complimentary PNP and NPN input stage in which

the PNP stage senses common mode voltage near V− and the NPN stage senses common mode voltage near V+. If either of the

input signals falls below the negative common mode limit, the parasitic PN junction formed by the substrate and the base of the

PNP will turn on resulting in an increase of input bias current.

If one of the input goes above the positive common mode limit, the output will still maintain the correct logic level as long as the

other input stays within the common mode range. However, the propagation delay will increase. When both inputs are outside the

common mode voltage range, current saturation occurs in the input stage, and the output becomes unpredictable.

The propagation delay does not increase significantly with large differential input voltages. However, large differential voltages

greater than the supply voltage should be avoided to prevent damage to the input stage.

The LMV7239 has a push-pull output. When the output switches, there is a direct path between VCC and ground, causing high

output sinking or sourcing current during the transition. After the transition, the output current decreases and the supply current

settles back to about 65µA at 5V, thus conserving power consumption.

The LMV7235 has an open drain that requires a pull-up resistor to a positive supply voltage for the output to switch properly. When

the internal output transistor is off, the output voltage will be pulled up to the external positive voltage.

CIRCUIT LAYOUT AND BYPASSING

The LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q require high speed layout. Follow these layout guidelines:

1. Use printed circuit board with a good, unbroken low-inductance ground plane.

2. Place a decoupling capacitor (0.1µF ceramic surface mount capacitor) as close as possible to VCC pin.

3. On the inputs and the output, keep lead lengths as short as possible to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback around the comparator.

Keep inputs away from output.

4. Solder the device directly to the printed circuit board rather than using a socket.

5. For slow moving input signals, take care to prevent parasitic feedback. A small capacitor (1000pF or less) placed between the

inputs can help eliminate oscillations in the transition region. This capacitor causes some degradation to tPD when the source

impedance is low.

6. The topside ground plane runs between the output and inputs.

7. Ground trace from the ground pin runs under the device up to the bypass capacitor, shielding the inputs from the outputs.

LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q

COMPARATOR WITH HYSTERESIS

The basic comparator configuration may oscillate or produce a noisy output if the applied differential input voltage is near the

comparator's offset voltage. This usually happens when the input signal is moving very slowly across the comparator's switching

threshold. This problem can be prevented by the addition of hysteresis or positive feedback.

INVERTING COMPARATOR WITH HYSTERESIS

The inverting comparator with hysteresis requires a three resistor network that is referenced to the supply voltage VCC of the

comparator, as shown in Figure 1. When VIN at the inverting input is less than VA, the voltage at the non-inverting node of the

comparator (VIN < VA), the output voltage is high (for simplicity assume VO switches as high as VCC). The three network resistors

can be represented as R1||R3 in series with R2. The lower input trip voltage VA1 is defined as:

VA1 = VCCR2 / [(R1||R3) + R2]

When VIN is greater than VA (VIN > VA), the output voltage is low, very close to ground. In this case the three network resistors can

be presented as R2 || R3 in series with R1. The upper trip voltage VA2 is defined as:

VA2 = VCC (R2||R3) / [(R1)+ (R2||R3)]

The total hysteresis provided by the network is defined as:

Delta VA = VA1- VA2

To assure that the comparator will always switch fully to VCC and not be pulled down by the load the resistors, values should be

chosen as follows:

RPULL-UP << RLOAD

10135919

FIGURE 1. Inverting Comparator with Hysteresis

LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q

NON-INVERTING COMPARATOR WITH HYSTERESIS

A non inverting comparator with hysteresis requires a two resistor network, and a voltage reference (VREF) at the inverting input.

When VIN is low, the output is also low. For the output to switch from low to high, VIN must rise up to VIN1 where VIN1 is calculated

by:

VIN1 = R1*(VREF / R2) + VREF

When VIN is high, the output is also high, to make the comparator switch back to it's low state, VIN must equal VREF before VA will

again equal VREF. VIN can be calculated by:

VIN2 = [VREF (R1+ R2) - VCC R1] / R2

The hysteresis of this circuit is the difference between VIN1 and VIN2.

Delta VIN = VCC R1 / R2

ZERO-CROSSING DETECTOR

The inverting input is connected to ground and the non-inverting input is connected to 100mVp-p signal. As the signal at the non-

inverting input crosses 0V, the comparator's output changes state.

10135918

FIGURE 3. Zero-Crossing Detector

THRESHOLD DETECTOR

Instead of tying the inverting input to 0V, the inverting input can be tied to a reference voltage. The non-inverting input is connected

to the input. As the input passes the VREF threshold, the comparator's output changes state.

10135921

FIGURE 4. Threshold Detector

CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR

A simple crystal oscillator using the LMV7239 is shown below. Resistors R1 and R2 set the bias point at the comparator's non-

inverting input. Resistors R3, R4 and C1 sets the inverting input node at an appropriate DC average level based on the output. The

crystal's path provides resonant positive feedback and stable oscillation occurs. The output duty cycle for this circuit is roughly

50%, but it is affected by resistor tolerances and to a lesser extent by the comparator offset.

LMV7235/LMV7239/LMV7239Q

IR RECEIVER

The LMV7239 is an ideal candidate to be used as an infrared receiver. The infrared photo diode creates a current relative to the

amount of infrared light present. The current creates a voltage across RD. When this voltage level cross the voltage applied by the

voltage divider to the inverting input, the output transitions.
