TC1041
3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The TC1041 is one of a series of very low power, linear
building block products targeted at low voltage
operation. The TC1041 contains two comparators and
a voltage reference and operates at a minimum supply
voltage of 1.8V with a typical current consumption of
10µA. Both comparators have programmable
hysteresis.
3.1 Comparator
The TC1041 contains two comparators with program-
mable hysteresis. The inverting inputs of the
comparators are connected to the output of the voltage
reference, while the range of the non-inverting inputs
extend beyond both supply voltages by 200mV. The
comparator outputs will swing to within several
millivolts of the supplies depending on the load current
being driven.
The comparators exhibit a propagation delay and
supply current which are largely independent of supply
voltage. The low input bias current and offset voltage
make them suitable for high impedance precision
applications.
3.2 Voltage Reference
A 2.0 percent tolerance, internally biased, 1.20V band-
gap voltage reference is included in the TC1041. It has
a push-pull output capable of sourcing and sinking at
least 50µA.
3.3 Programmable Hysteresis
Hysteresis is added to the comparators by connecting
a resistor, R1, between the VREF and HYST pins and
another resistor, R2, between the HYST pin and VSS.
For no hysteresis, VREF should be directly connected to
HYST. The hysteresis, VHB, is equal to twice the
voltage difference between the VREF and HYST pins
where:
VHB = 2VREF R1/(R1 + R2) (See Figure 3-1)
and is symmetrical around the normal (without
hysterersis) threshold of the comparator. The
maximum voltage allowed between the VREF and HYST
pins is 80mV, giving a maximum hysteresis of 160mV.
