LMC7221
Tiny CMOS Comparator with Rail-To-Rail Input and Open
Drain Output
General Description
The LM7221 is a micropower CMOS comparator available in
the space saving SOT23-5 package. This makes this comparator ideal for space and weight critical designs. The
LMC7221 is also available in the SO-8 package. The
LMC7221 is supplied in two offset voltage grades, 5 mV and
15 mV.
The open drain output can be pulled up with a resistor to a
voltage which can be higher or lower than the supply
voltage—this makes the part useful for mixed voltage systems.
For a tiny comparator with a push-pull output, please see the
LMC7211 datasheet.

Typical Performance Characteristics (Continued)
Application Information
1.0 Benefits of the LMC7221 Tiny Comparator
Size. The small footprint of the SOT 23-5 packaged Tiny
Comparator, (0.120 x 0.118 inches, 3.05 x 3.00 mm) saves
space on printed circuit boards, and enable the design of
smaller electronic products. Because they are easier to
carry, many customers prefer smaller and lighter products.
Height. The height (0.056 inches, 1.43 mm) of the Tiny
Comparator makes it possible to use it in PCMCIA type III
cards.
Simplified Board Layout. The Tiny Comparator can simplify board layout in several ways. First, by placing a comparator where comparators are needed, instead of routing
signals to a dual or quad device, long pc traces may be
avoided.
By using multiple Tiny Comparators instead of duals or
quads, complex signal routing and possibly crosstalk can be
reduced.
Low Supply Current. The typical 7 µA supply current of the
LMC7221 extends battery life in portable applications, and
may allow the reduction of the size of batteries in some applications.
Wide Voltage Range. The LMC7221 is characterized at
15V, 5V and 2.7V. Performance data is provided at these
popular voltages. This wide voltage range makes the
LMC7221 a good choice for devices where the voltage may
vary over the life of the batteries.
Digital Outputs Representing Signal Level. Comparators
provide a high or low digital output depending on the voltage
levels of the(+) and (−) inputs. This makes comparators useful for interfacing analog signals to microprocessors and
other digital circuits. The LMC7221 can be thought of as a
one-bit a/d converter.
Open Drain Output. The open drain output is like the open
collector output of a logic gate. This makes the LMC7221
very useful for mixed voltage systems.
Driving LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). With a 5 volt power
supply, the LMC7221’s output sinking current can drive
small, high efficiency LEDs for indicator and test point circuits. The small size of the Tiny package makes it easy to
find space to add this feature to even compact designs.
Input range to Beyond Rail to Rail. The input common
mode range of the LMC7221 is slightly larger than the actual
power supply range. This wide input range means that the
comparator can be used to sense signals close to the power
supply rails. This wide input range can make design easier
by eliminating voltage dividers, amplifiers, and other front
end circuits previously used to match signals to the limited
input range of earlier comparators. This is useful to power
supply monitoring circuits which need to sense their own
power supply,and compare it to a reference voltage which is
close to the power supply voltage. The wide input range can
also be useful for sensing the voltage drop across a current
sense resistor for battery chargers.

Application Information (Continued)
Zero Crossing Detector. Since the LMC7221’s common
mode input range extends below ground even when powered by a single positive supply, it can be used with large input resistors as a zero crossing detector.
Low Input Currents and High Input Impedance. These
characteristics allow the LMC7221 to be used to sense high
impedance signals from sensors. They also make it possible
to use the LMC7221 in timing circuits built with large value
resistors. This can reduce the power dissipation of timing circuits. For very long timing circuits, using high value resistors
can reduce the size andcost of large value capacitors for the
same R-C time constant.
Direct Sensor Interfacing. The wide input voltage range
and high impedance of the LMC7221 may make it possible
to directly interface to a sensor without the use of amplifiers
or bias circuits. In circuits with sensors which can produce
outputs in the tens to hundreds of millivolts, the LMC7221
can compare the sensor signal with an appropriately small
reference voltage. This may be done close to ground or the
positive supply rail. Direct sensor interfacing may eliminate
the need for an amplifier for the sensor signal. Eliminating
the amplifier can save cost, space, and design time.
2.0 Low Voltage Operation
Comparators are the common devices by which analog signals interface with digital circuits. The LMC7221 has been
designed to operate at supply voltages of 2.7V without sacrificing performance to meet the demands of 3V digital systems.
At supply voltages of 2.7V,the common-mode voltage range
extends 200 mV (guaranteed) below the negative supply.
This feature, in addition to the comparator being able to
sense signals near thepositive rail, is extremely useful in low
voltage applications.

Please refer to the performance curves for more extensive
characterization.
3.0 Open Drain Output
Figure 2
shows the difference between push-pull output and
open drain output.
Push pull outputs will have a conventional high or low digital
output, the same as a logic gate. Low will be the negative
supply rail (usually ground) and high will be the positive supply rail.
This is useful if the chips you are interfacing to run on the
same supply voltage as the comparator. An example would
be an all +5V system.
Open drain outputs will only pull low— for the high output
they depend on an external pull-up resistor. This can pull up
to a voltage higher or lower than the comparator supply voltage. This voltage can be as high as 15V. This makes the
open drain parts useful in mixed voltage systems. An example would be where the comparator runs at 5V and the
logic circuits are at 3.3V. The pull-up resistor would go to the
3.3V supply.
Open drain outputs are the CMOS equivalent of open collec-
tor outputs.
4.0 Output Short Circuit Current
The LMC7221 has short circuit protection of 40 mA. However,it is not designed to withstand continuous short circuits,
transient voltage or current spikes, or shorts to any voltage
beyond the supplies. A resistor in series with the output

Application Information (Continued)
should reduce the effect of shorts. For outputs which send
signals off PC boards additional protection devices, such as
diodes to the supply rails, and varistors may be used.
5.0 Input Protection
If input signals are likely to exceed the common mode range
of the LMC7221, or it is likely that signals may be present
when power is off, damage to the LMC7221 may occur.
Large value (100 kΩ to MΩ) input resistors may reduce the
likelihood of damage by limiting the input currents. Since the
LMC7221 has very low input leakage currents, the effect on
accuracy will be small. Additional protection may require the
use of diodes, as shown in
Figure 3
. Note that diode leakage
current may affect accuracy during normal operation.
The R-C timeconstant of R
IN
and the diodecapacitance may
also slow response time.
6.0 Layout Considerations
The LMC7221 is not an especially fast comparator, so high
speed design practices are not required. The LMC7221 is
capable of operating with very high impedance inputs, so
precautions should be taken to reduce noise pickup with
high impedance (∼ 100 kΩ and greater) designs and in electrically noisy environments.
Keeping high valueresistors close to the LMC7221 and minimizing the size of the input nodes is a good practice. With
multilayer designs, try to avoid long loops which could act as
inductors (coils). Sensors which are not close to the comparator may need twisted pair or shielded connections to reduce noise.
7.0 Push-Pull Outputs, Dual Versions
The LMC7211 is a comparator similar to the LMC7221, but
with push-pull outputs which can source current.
The performance of the LMC7221 is available in a dual device. Please see the LMC6772 datasheet. For a dual device
with push-pull outputs, please see the LMC6762 datasheet.
