DESCRIPTION
Micropower, Low Voltage,
Dual Comparator with
400mV Reference
The LT
®
6700/LT6700HV combine two micropower, low
voltage comparators with a 400mV reference in a 6-lead
SOT-23 or tiny DFN package. Operating with supplies from
1.4V up to 18V, these devices draw only 6.5µA, making
them ideal for low voltage system monitoring. Hysteresis
is included in the comparators, easing design requirements
to insure stable output operation.
The comparators each have one input available externally;
the other inputs are connected internally to the reference.
The comparator outputs are open collector and the output
load can be referred to any voltage up to 18V (36V for
LT6700HV), independent of supply voltage. The output
stage sinking capability is guaranteed to be greater than
5mA over temperature.
The three versions of this part differ by the polar-
ity of the available comparator inputs. The LT6700-1/
LT6700HV-1 has one inverting input and one noninvert-
ing input, making it suitable for use as a window com-
parator. The LT6700-2/LT6700HV-2 has two inverting
inputs and the LT6700-3/LT6700HV-3 has two nonin-
verting inputs. All versions are offered in commercial,
industrial and automotive temperature ranges.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below the absolute maximum rating when the output is shorted
indefinitely.
Note 3: The inputs are protected by ESD diodes to the ground. If the input
voltage exceeds –0.3V below ground, the input current should be limited
to less than 10mA.
Note 4: The LT6700C-1/-2/-3/LT6700HVC-1/-2/-3, and
LT6700I-1/-2/-3/LT6700HVI-1/-2/-3 are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C. The LT6700H-1/-2/-3/
LT6700HVH-1/-2/-3 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. The LT6700MP-1/-2/-3 is
guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range of –55°C to
125°C.
Note 5: The LT6700C-1/-2/-3/LT6700HVC-1/-2/-3 is guaranteed to
meet the specified performance from 0°C to 70°C. The LT6700C-1/-2/-
3/LT6700HVC-1/-2/-3 are designed, characterized and expected to meet
specified performance from – 40°C to 85°C but are not tested or QA
sampled at these temperatures. The LT6700I-1/-2/-3/LT6700HVI-1/-2/-3
is guaranteed to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The
LT6700H-1/-2/-3/LT6700HVH-1/-2/-3 is guaranteed to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 125°C.The LT6700MP-1/-2/-3 is guaranteed to
meet specified performance from –55°C to 125°C.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT6700-1/LT6700-2/LT6700-3/LT6700HV-1/
LT6700HV-2/LT6700HV-3 devices are a family of dual
micropower comparators with a built-in 400mV refer-
ence. Features include wide supply voltage range (1.4V to
18V), Over-The-Top input and output range, 2% accurate
rising input threshold voltage and 6.5mV typical built-in
hysteresis. The comparators open-collector outputs can
sink up to 40mA typical.
Internal Reference
Each of the comparator sections has one input available
externally, with the three versions of the part differing by
the polarity of those available inputs (i.e., inverting or
noninverting). The other comparator inputs are connected
internally to the 400mV reference. The rising input threshold
voltage of the comparators is designed to be equal to that
of the reference (i.e., ≈400mV). The reference voltage is
established with respect to the device GND connection.
Hysteresis
Each comparator has built-in 6.5mV (typical) hysteresis to
simplify designs, ensure stable operation in the presence
of noise at the inputs, and to reject supply rail noise that
might be induced by state change load transients. The
hysteresis is designed such that the falling input threshold
voltage is nominally 393.5mV. External positive feedback
circuitry can be employed with noninverting comparator
inputs to increase effective hysteresis if desired, but such
circuitry will provide an apparent effect on both the rising
and falling input thresholds (the actual internal thresholds
remain unaffected).
Comparator Inputs
A comparator input can swing from ground to 18V (36V
for LT6700HV), regardless of the supply voltage used. The
typical input current for inputs well above threshold (i.e.,
>800mV) is a few pA leaking into an input. With decreasing
input voltage, a small bias current begins to be drawn out
of the input, reaching a few nA when at ground potential.
The input may be forced 100mV below ground without
causing an improper output, though some additional bias
current will begin to flow from the parasitic ESD input pro-
tection diode. Inputs driven further negative than 100mV
below ground will not cause comparator malfunction or
damage (provided the current is limited to 10mA), but
the accuracy of the reference cannot be guaranteed, in
which case the output state of the alternate comparator
may be affected.
Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are open collector and capable
of sinking 40mA typical. Load currents are directed out
the GND pin of the part. The output off-state voltage may
range between –0.3V and 18V (36V for LT6700HV) with
respect to ground, regardless of the supply voltage used.
When the output high state bias voltage is above 18V, a
100k minimum pull-up resistor is required and total load
capacitor must be less than 100nF. If the output high state
is above 18V, caution must be taken to prevent a short
from the output directly to the bias voltage, even if the
output is in the off state. As with any open-collector device,
the outputs may be tied together to implement wire-AND
logic functions.
Power Supplies
The comparator family core circuitry operates from a single
1.4V to 18V supply. A minimum 0.1µF bypass capacitor
is required between the VS pin and GND. When an output
load is connected to the supply rail near the part and the
output is sinking more than 5mA, a 1µF bypass capaci-
tor is recommended. The voltage reference built into the
LT6700 can be susceptible to high noise on the supply
line, particularly noise that is less than 50kHz and larger
than 20mVP-P. In order to reduce the probability of a false
comparator output in the presence of high supply noise,
an RC filter should be used to reduce the noise. This filter
can be created simply by adding a series R between the
system supply and the LT6700 VS pin, using the decoupling
capacitor to create a lowpass response. It is recommended
that the filter have a time constant:
tRC > VN/100
Where VN is the peak-peak supply noise in millivolts and
tRC is milliseconds.
This filter will also increase the start-up time of the LT6700
by reducing the rate at which the supply can change. When

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
using a supply filter, the start-up time of the LT6700 will
increase to:
tSTART = (0.17ms + 0.25 • tRC) • ΔVS
Where tSTART and tRC are in milliseconds and ΔVS is the
change in supply in volts. The low supply current of the
LT6700 should not cause significant voltage drop due to
a 2k maximum series R.
Flexible Window Comparator
Using the LT6700-1/LT6700HV-1 as shown in the circuits
of Figure 1, the wire-AND configuration permits high
accuracy window functions to be implemented with a
simple 3-resistor voltage divider network. The section A
comparator provides the VL trip-point and the section B
comparator provides the VH trip-point, with the built-in
hysteresis providing about 1.7% recovery level at each
trip point to prevent output chatter.
For designs that are to be optimized to detect
departure
from a window limit, the nominal resistor divider values
are selected as follows (refer to the resistor designators
shown on the first circuit of Figure 1):
R1 ≤ 400k (this sets the divider current >> IB of inputs)
R2 = R1 • (0.98 • VH/VL – 1)
R3 = R1 • (2.5 • VH – 0.98 • VH/VL)
To create window functions optimized for detecting
entry
into a window (i.e., where the output is to indicate a “com-
ing into spec” condition, as with the examples in Figure 1),
Figure 1. Simple Window Comparator
the nominal resistor values are selected as follows:
R1 ≤ 400k (this sets the divider current >> IB of inputs)
R2 = R1 • (1.02 • VH/VL – 1)
R3 = R1 • (2.54 • VH – 1.02 • VH/VL)
The worst-case variance of the trip-points is related to
the specified threshold limits of the LT6700/LT6700HV
device and the basic tolerance of divider resistors used.
For resistor tolerance RTOL (e.g. 0.01 for 1%), the worst-
case trip-point voltage (either VH or VL) deviations can be
predicted as follows (italicized values are taken from the
data sheet, expressed in volts):
Max dev VTRIP = ±VTRIPnom {2 RTOL [(VTRIPnom – 0.4)
/ VTRIPnom] + 1.25 • (
VTH(R)max
VTH(R)min
)}
Max dev VTRIP = ±VTRIPnom {2 R TOL [(VTRIPnom – 0.39)
/ VTRIPnom] + 1.27 • (
VTH(F)max
VTH(F)min
)}
Generating an External Reference Signal
In some applications, it would be advantageous to have
access to a signal that is directly related to the internal
400mV reference, even though the reference itself is not
available externally. This can be accomplished to a reason-
able degree by using an inverting comparator section as
a “bang-bang” servo, establishing a nominal voltage, on
an integration capacitor, that is scaled to the reference.
This method is used in Figure 2, where the reference level
has been doubled to drive a resistor bridge. The section
B output cycles on and off to swing the section B input
between its hysteresis trip points as the load capacitor

charges and discharges in a shallow, controlled fashion.
The multiplied reference signal also contains ripple that is
the hysteresis multiplied by the same factor, so additional
filtering is performed at the sense node of the bridge to
prevent comparator chatter in the section A comparator,
which is performing the actual conditional decision for
the circuit.
Instrumentation Grade Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)
Comparators with hysteresis are frequently employed
to make simple oscillator structures, and the LT6700/
LT6700HV lends itself nicely to forming a charge-balancing
PWM function. The circuit shown in Figure 3 forms a PWM
that is intended to transmit an isolated representation of a
voltage difference, rather like an isolated instrumentation
amplifier. The section B comparator is used to generate a
2V reference supply level for the CMOS NOT gate (inverter),
which serves as the precision switch element for the charge
balancer. The heart of the charge balancer is the section A
comparator, which is detecting slight charge or discharge
states on the 0.22µF “integration” capacitor as it remains
balanced at ≈400mV by feedback through the NOT gate.
The input sense voltage, VIN, is converted to an imbal-
ance current that the NOT gate duty cycle is continually
correcting for, thus the digital waveform at the section A
comparator output is a PWM representation of VIN with
respect to the 2V “full scale.” In this particular circuit, the
PWM information drives the LED of an opto-coupler, allow-
ing the VIN information to be coupled across a dielectric
barrier. As an additional option to the circuit, the feedback
loop can be broken and a second opto-coupler employed to
provide the charge balance management. This configura-
tion allows for clocking the comparator output (externally
to this circuit) and providing synchronous feedback such
that a simple Δ∑ voltage-to-frequency conversion can be
formed if desired. Approximately 11-bit accuracy and noise
performance was observed in a one second integration
period for duty factors from 1% to 99%.
