Input
General Description
The LMV7291 is a rail-to-rail input low power comparator,
characterized at supply voltage 1.8V, 2.7V and 5.0V. It con-
sumes only 9uA supply current per channel while achieving
a 800ns propagation delay.
The LMV7291 is available in SC70 package. With this tiny
package, the PC board area can be significantly reduced. It
is ideal for low voltage, low power and space critical designs.
The LMV7291 features a push-pull output stage which al-
lows operation with minimum power consumption when driv-
ing a load.
The LMV7291 is built with National Semiconductor’s ad-
vance submicron silicon-gate BiCMOS process. It has bipo-
lar inputs for improved noise performance and CMOS out-
puts for rail-to-rail output swing.

Application Notes
BASIC COMPARATOR
A comparator is often used to convert an analog signal to a
digital signal. As shown in Figure 2, the comparator com-
pares an input voltage (V
IN
) to a reference voltage (V
REF
). If
V
IN
is less than V
REF
, the output (V
O
) is low. However, if V
IN
is greater than V
REF
, the output voltage (V
O
) is high.
RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT STAGE
The LMV7291 has an input common mode voltage range
(V
CM
) of −0.1V below the V
−
to 0.1V above V
+
. This is
achieved by using paralleled PNP and NPN differential input
pairs. When the V
CM
is near V
+
, the NPN pair is on and the
PNP pair is off. When the V
CM
is near V
−
, the NPN pair is off
and the PNP pair is on. The crossover point between the
NPN and PNP input stages is around 950mV from V
+
. Since
each input stage has its own offset voltage (V
OS
), the V
OS
of
the comparator becomes a function of the V
CM
. See curves
for V
OS
vs. V
CM
in Typical Performance Characteristics sec-
tion. In application design, it is recommended to keep the
V
CM
away from the crossover point to avoid problems. The
wide input voltage range makes LMV7291 ideal in power
supply monitoring circuits, where the comparators are used
to sense signals close to gnd and power supplies.
OUTPUT STAGE
The LMV7291 has a push-pull output stage. This output
stage keeps the total system power consumption to the
absolute minimum. The only current consumed is the low
supply current and the current going directly into the load.
When output switches, both PMOS and NMOS at the output
stage are on at the same time for a very short time. This
allows current to flow directly between V
+
and V
−
through
output transistors. The result is a short spike of current
(shoot-through current) drawn from the supply and glitches
in the supply voltages. The glitches can spread to other parts
of the board as noise. To prevent the glitches in supply lines,
power supply bypass capacitors must be installed. See sec-
tion for supply bypassing in the Application Notes for details.
HYSTERESIS
It is a standard procedure to use hysteresis (positive feed-
back) around a comparator, to prevent oscillation, and to
avoid excessive noise on the output because the comparator
is a good amplifier of its own noise.
Inverting Comparator with Hysteresis
The inverting comparator with hysteresis requires a three
resistor network that are referenced to the supply voltage
V
CC
of the comparator (Figure 3). When V
IN
at the inverting
input is less than V
A
, the voltage at the non-inverting node of
the comparator (V
IN
<V
A
), the output voltage is high (for
simplicity assume V
O
switches as high as V
CC
). The three
network resistors can be represented as R
1
||R
3
in series with
R
2
. The lower input trip voltage V
A1
is defined as
When V
IN
is greater than V
A
(V
IN
>V
A
), the output voltage is
low and very close to ground. In this case the three network
resistors can be presented as R
2
//R
3
in series with R
1
. The
upper trip voltage V
A2
is defined as
The total hysteresis provided by the network is defined as
∆V
A
=V
A1
-V
A2
A good typical value of ∆V
A
would be in the range of 5 to 50
mV. This is easily obtained by choosing R
3
as 1000 to 100
times (R
1
||R
2
) for 5V operation, or as 300 to 30 times
(R
1
||R
2
) for 1.8V operation.

Non-Inverting Comparator with Hysteresis
A non-inverting comparator with hysteresis requires a two
resistor network, and a voltage reference (V
REF
) at the in-
verting input (Figure 4). When V
IN
is low, the output is also
low. For the output to switch from low to high, V
IN
must rise
up to V
IN1
, where V
IN1
is calculated by
When V
IN
is high, the output is also high. To make the
comparator switch back to its low state, V
IN
must equal V
REF
before V
A
will again equal V

can be calculated by:
The hysteresis of this circuit is the difference between V

and V

CIRCUIT TECHNIQUES FOR AVOIDING OSCILLATIONS
IN COMPARATOR APPLICATIONS
Feedback to almost any pin of a comparator can result in
oscillation. In addition, when the input signal is a slow volt-
age ramp or sine wave, the comparator may also burst into
oscillation near the crossing point. To avoid oscillation or
instability, PCB layout should be engineered thoughtfully.
Several precautions are recommended:
1. Power supply bypassing is critical, and will improve sta-
bility and transient response. Resistance and inductance
from power supply wires and board traces increase
power supply line impedance. When supply current
changes, the power supply line will move due to its im-
pedance. Large enough supply line shift will cause the
comparator to mis-operate. To avoid problems, a small
bypass capacitor, such as 0.1uF ceramic, should be
placed immediately adjacent to the supply pins. An addi-
tional 6.8µF or greater tantalum capacitor should be
placed at the point where the power supply for the com-
parator is introduced onto the board. These capacitors
act as an energy reservoir and keep the supply imped-
ance low. In dual supply application, a 0.1µF capacitor is
recommended to be placed across V
+
and V
−
pins.
2. Keep all leads short to reduce stray capacitance and lead
inductance. It will also minimize any unwanted coupling
from any high-level signals (such as the output). The
comparators can easily oscillate if the output lead is
inadvertently allowed to capacitively couple to the inputs
via stray capacitance. This shows up only during the
output voltage transition intervals as the comparator
changes states. Try to avoid a long loop which could act
as an inductor (coil).
3. It is a good practice to use an unbroken ground plane on
a printed circuit board to provide all components with a
low inductive ground connection. Make sure ground
paths are low-impedance where heavier currents are
flowing to avoid ground level shift. Preferably there
should be a ground plane under the component.
4. The output trace should be routed away from inputs. The
ground plane should extend between the output and
inputs to act as a guard.
5. When the signal source is applied through a resistive
network to one input of the comparator, it is usually
advantageous to connect the other input with a resistor
with the same value, for both DC and AC consideration.
Input traces should be laid out symmetrically if possible.
6. All pins of any unused comparators should be tied to the
negative supply.
Typical Applications
POSITIVE PEAK DETECTOR
A positive peak detect circuit is basically a comparator oper-
ated in a unity gain follower configuration, with a capacitor as
a load to maintain the highest voltage. A diode is added at
the output to prevent the capacitor from discharging through
the output, and a 1MΩresistor added in parallel to the
capacitor to provide a high impedance discharge path. When
the input V
IN
increases, the inverting input of the comparator
follows it, thus charging the capacitor. When it decreases,
the cap discharges through the 1MΩresistor. The decay
time can be modified by changing the resistor. The output
should be accessed through a follower circuit to prevent
loading.
NEGATIVE PEAK DETECTOR
For the negative detector, the output transistor of the com-
parator acts as a low impedance current sink. Since there is
no pull-up resistor, the only discharge path will be the 1MΩ
resistor and any load impedance used. Decay time is
changed by varying the 1MΩresistor.

Typical Applications (Continued)
SQUARE WAVE GENERATOR
A typical application for a comparator is as a square wave
oscillator. The circuit below generates a square wave whose
period is set by the RC time constant of the capacitor C
1
and
resistor R
4
. The maximum frequency is limited by the large
signal propagation delay of the comparator, and by the ca-
pacitive loading at the output, which limits the output slew
rate.
To analyze the circuit, consider it when the output is high.
That implies that the inverted input (V
C
) is lower than the
non-inverting input (V
A
). This causes the C
1
to get charged
through R
4,
and the voltage V
C
increases till it is equal to the
non-inverting input. The value of V
A
at this point is
If R
1
=R
2
=R
3
then V
A1
=2V
CC
/3
At this point the comparator switches pulling down the output
to the negative rail. The value of V
A
at this point is
If R
1
=R
2
=R
3
then V
A2
=V
CC
/3
The capacitor C
1
now discharges through R
4
, and the volt-
age V
C
decreases till it is equal to V
A2
, at which point the
comparator switches again, bringing it back to the initial
stage. The time period is equal to twice the time it takes to
discharge C
1
from 2V
CC
/3 to V
CC
/3, which is given by
