LMC7215/LMC7225 Micro-Power, Rail-to-Rail CMOS Comparators with Open-Drain/Push-Pull
Outputs and TinyPak Package
General Description
The LMC7215/LMC7225 are ultra low power comparators
with amaximum of 1 µA power supply current. They are designed to operateover a wide range of supply voltages,from
2V to 8V.
The LMC7215/LMC7225 have agreaterthan rail-to-rail common mode voltage range. This is a real advantage in single
supply applications.
The LMC7215 features a push-pull output stage. This feature allows operation with absolute minimum amount of
power consumption when driving any load.
The LMC7225 features an open drain output. By connecting
an external resistor, the output of the comparator can be
used as a level shifter to any desired voltage to as high as
15V.
The LMC7215/LMC7225 are designed for systems where
low power consumption is the critical parameter.
Guaranteed operation over the full supply voltage range of
2.7V to 5V and rail-to-rail performance makes this comparator ideal for battery-powered applications.

Application Information
RESPONSE TIME
Depending upon the amount of overdrive, the delay will typically be between 10 µs to 200 µs. The curve showing delay
vs overdrive in the “Typical Characteristics” section shows
the delay time when the input is preset with 100 mV across
the inputs and then is driven the other way by 1 mV to 500
mV.
The transition fromhigh tolow orlow tohigh is fast.Typically
1 µs rise and 400 ns fall.
With a small signal input, the comparators will provide a
square wave output from sine wave inputs at frequencies as
high as 25kHz.
±
a
5 mV sine wave isapplied to the input.Note that the out-
put is delayed by almost 180˚.
NOISE
Most comparators have rather low gain. This allows the output to spend time between high and low when the input signal changes slowly.The result is the outputmay oscillatebetween high and low when the differential input is near zero.
The exceptionally high gain of these comparators, 10,000V/
mV, eliminates this problem. Less then 1 µV of change on
the input will drive the output from one rail to the other rail.
Figure 1
shows a worstcase examplewhere

If the inputsignal is noisy,the output cannotignore the noise
unless some hysteresis is provided by positive feedback.
DS012853-5
FIGURE 2.
INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The LMC7215/25 have input voltage ranges that are larger
than the supply voltage guarantees that signals from other
parts of the system cannot overdrive the inputs. This allows
sensing supply current by connecting one input directly to
+
the V
line and the other to the otherside of a current sense
resistor. The same is true if the sense resistor is in the
ground return line.
Sensing supply voltage is alsoeasy by connecting oneinput
directly to the supply.
The inputs of these comparators are protected by diodes to
both supplies. This protectsthe inputs fromboth ESDas well
as signals that greatly exceed the supply voltages. As a result, current will flow through these forward biased diodes
whenever the input voltage is more than a few hundred millivolts larger than the supplies. Until this occurs, there is essentially no input current. As a result, placing alarge resistor
in series with any input that may be exposed to large voltages, will limit the input current but have no other noticeable
effect.
If the inputcurrent is limited to less than 5 mAby aseries resistor, (see
Figure 2
), a threshold or zero crossing detector,
that works with inputs from as low as a few millivolts to as
high as 5,000V, ismade withonly one resistor and the comparator.
INPUTS
As mentioned above, these comparators have near zero input current. This allows very high resistance circuits to be
used without any concern for matching input resistances.
www.national.com 6
Application Information (Continued)
This also allows the useof very small capacitorsin R-C type
timing circuits. This reduces the cost of the capacitors and
amount of board space used.
CAPACITIVE LOADS
The high output current drive allows large capacitive loads
with little effect. Capacitive loadsas largeas 10,000pF have
no effect upon delay and only slow the transition by about 3
µs.
OUTPUT CURRENT
Even though these comparators use less than 1 µA supply
current, the outputs are able to drive very large currents.
The LMC7215 can source up to 50 mA when operated on a
5V supply. Both the LMC7215 and LMC7225 can sink over
20 mA. (See the graph of Max I
Characteristics” section.)
This large current handling ability allows drivingheavy loads
directly.LEDs, beepersand other loadscan be driven easily.
The push-pull output stage of the LMC7215 is a very important feature. Thiskeeps the total systempower consumption
to the absolute minimum. The only current consumed is the
less than 1 µA supply current and the current going directly
into the load. No power is wasted in a pull-up resistor when
the output islow. The LMC7225 isonly recommendedwhere
a level shifting function from one logic level toanother is desired, where the LMC7225 is being used as a drop-in lower
power replacement for an older comparator or in circuits
where more than one output will be paralleled.
POWER DISSIPATION
The large output current ability makes it possible to exceed
the maximum operating junction temperature of 85˚C and
possibly even the absolute maximumjunction temperatureof
150˚C.
The thermal resistance of the 8-pin surface mount package
is 165˚C/W. Shorting theoutput toground with a2.7V supply
will only result in about 5˚C rise above ambient.
The thermal resistance of the much smaller SOT23-5 package is 325˚C/W. With a 2.7V supply, the raise is only 10.5˚C
but if the supply is 5V and the short circuit current is 50 mA,
this will cause a raise of 41˚C in the SO-8 and 81˚C in the
SOT23-5. This should be kept in mind if driving very low resistance loads.
SHOOT-THROUGH
Shoot-through is a common occurrence on digital circuits
and comparators where there is a push-pull output stage.
This occurs when asignal isapplied atthe same timeto both
the N-channel and P-channel output transistors to turn one
off and turn the other on. (See
devices responds slightly faster than the other, the fast one
can be turned on before the other has turned off. For a very
short time,this allows supply current to flow directly through
both output transistors. The result is a short spike of current
drawn from the supply.

The LMC7215 produces a small current spike of 300 µA
peak for about 400 ns with 2.7V supply and 1.8 mApeak for
400 ns with a 5V supply. This spike only occurs when the
output is going from highto low.It does not occur whengoing
from low to high.

Figure 5
show what this current pulse looks like on 2.7V and 5V supplies. The upper
trace is the output voltage and the lower trace is the supply
current as measured with the circuit in
Figure 6
.
If the powersupply hasa veryhigh impedance, abypass capacitor of 0.01 µF should be more than enough to minimize
the effects of this small current pulse.

LATCH-UP
In the past, mostCMOS IC’s weresusceptible to adamaging
phenomena known as latch-up. This occurred when anESD
current spike or other large signal was applied to any of the
pins of an IC. The LMC7215 and LMC7225 both are designed to make them highlyresistant to this typeof damage.
They have passed qualification tests with input currents on
any lead up to 300 mA at temperatures up to 125˚C.
