LMP7300
Micropower Precision Comparator and Precision
Reference with Adjustable Hysteresis

General Description

The LMP7300 is a combination comparator and reference
with ideal specifications for precision threshold detecting. The
precision 2.048V reference comes with a 0.25% maximum
error. The comparator features micopower (35 µW), low offset
voltage (.75 mV max), and independent adjustable positive
and negative hysteresis.

Hysteresis control for the comparator is accomplished
through two external pins. The HYSTP pin sets the positive
hysteresis and the HYSTN pin sets the negative hysteresis.
The comparator design isolates the VIN source impedance
and the programmable hysteresis components. This isolation
prevents any undesirable interaction allowing the IC to main­tain a precise threshold voltage during level detection.

The combination of low offset voltage, external hysteresis
control, and precision voltage reference provides an easy to
use micropower precision threshold detector.

The LMP7300 open collector output makes it ideal for mixed
voltage system designs. The output voltage upper rail is un­constrained by VCC and can be pulled above VCC to a maxi­mum of 12V. The LMP7300 is a member of the LMP

Name

Description

+IN Non-Inverting

Comparator Input

The +IN has a common-mode voltage range from 1V above the negative rail to, and including,
the positive rail. Internal ESD diodes, connected from the +IN pin to the rails, protect the input
stage from overvoltage. If the input voltage exceeds the rails, the diodes turn on and clamp
the input to a safe level.

−IN Inverting Comparator
Input

The −IN has a common-mode voltage range from 1V above the negative rail to, and including,
the positive rail. Internal ESD diodes, connected from the −IN pin to the rails, protects the
input stage from overvoltage. If the input voltage exceeds the rails, the diodes turn on and
clamp the input to a safe level.

GND Ground This pin may be connected to a negative DC voltage source for applications requiring a dual

supply. If connected to a negative supply, decouple this pin with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to
ground. The internal reference output voltage is referenced to this pin. GND is the die
substrate connection.

OUT Comparator Output The output is an open-collector. It can drive voltage loads by using a pullup resistor, or it can

drive current loads by sinking a maximum output current. This pin may be taken to a
maximum of +12V with respect to the ground pin, irrespective of supply voltage.

HYSTN Negative Hysteresis Pin This pin sets the lower trip voltage VIL. The common mode range is from 1V above the

negative rail to VCC. The input signal must fall below VIL for the comparator to switch from
high to low state.

HYSTP Positive Hysteresis pin This pin sets the upper trip voltage VIH. The common mode range is from 1V above the

negative rail to VCC. The input signal must rise above VIH for the comparator to switch from
low to high state.

Application Information

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The LMP7300 is a unique combination of micropower and
precision. The open collector comparator has low offset, high
CMRR, high PSRR, programmable hysteresis and microamp
supply current. The precision 2.048V reference provides a
DAC or ADC with an accurate binary divisible voltage. The
comparator and reference combination forms an ideal single
IC solution for low power sensor or portable applications.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE

The reference output voltage is a band gap derived 2.048V
that is trimmed to achieve typically 0.2% accuracy over the
full operating temperature range of −40°C to 125°C. The trim
procedure employs a curvature correction algorithm to com­pensate for the base emitter thermal nonlinearity inherent in
band gap design topologies. The reference accuracy and the
set resistor tolerance determine the magnitude and precision
of the programmable hysteresis. In situations where refer­ence noise filtering is required a 5 µF capacitor in series with
a 190Ω resistor to ground are recommended.

COMPARATOR

Output Stage

The comparator employs an open collector output stage that
can switch microamp loads for micropower precision thresh­old detection to applications requiring activating a solenoid, a
lamp, or an LED. The wired-OR type output easily interfaces
to TTL, CMOS, or multiple outputs, as in a window comparator
application, over a range of 0.5V to 12V. The output is capable
of driving greater than 10 mA output current and yet main­taining a saturation voltage below 0.4V over temperature. The
supply current increases linearly when driving heavy loads so
a pullup resistor of 100 kΩ or greater is recommended for mi­cropower applications.

Fault Detection Rate

The user’s choice of a pullup resistor and capacitive load de­termines the minimum response time and the event detection
rate. By optimizing overdrive, the pullup resistor and ca­pactive load fault update rates of 200 kHz to 250 kHz or
greater can be achieved.

HYSTERESIS

False triggering on noise coupled into the signal path is a
common problem for comparator based threshold detectors.
One of the most effective solutions is to add hysteresis. Hys­teresis is a circuit signal path characteristic where an ampli­tude delay is introduced to the normal input. Positive
hysteresis forces the signal to pass the normal switch point
before the output makes a low to high transition while negative
hysteresis does the opposite. This is a memory effect. The
comparator behaves differently based on which direction the
signal is going.

The LM7300 has been designed with a unique way of intro­ducing hysteresis. The set points are completely independent
of each other, the power supply, and the input or output con­ditions. The HYSTP pin sets positive hysteresis and the
HYSTN pin sets the negative hysteresis in a simple way using
two resistors. The pins can be tied together for the same hys­teresis or tied to separate voltage taps for asymmetric hys­teresis, or tied to the reference for no hysteresis. When the
precision reference is used to drive the voltage tap resistor
divider precise, stable threshold levels can be obtained. The
maximum recommended hysteresis is about 130 mV. This

places the HYSTP and HYSTN pin voltages at V

REF

– 130 mV
which is approximately the center of their input common mode
range at 2.7V. For the typical example, a differential input
signal voltage, VIN, is applied between INP and INN, the non­inverting and inverting inputs of the comparator. A DC switch
or threshold voltage, VTH, is set on the negative input to keep
the output off when the signal is above and on when it goes
below this level. For a precision threshold tie the INN pin to
V

REF

. With the output, off the circuit is in the minimum power
state. Figure 1 through Figure 5 demonstrate the different
configurations for setting the upper threshold VIH and the low­er threshold VIL and their relationship to the input trip point
V

, by the following formulas.

LMP7300

In the general case, as demonstrated with both positive and
negative hysteresis bands in Figure 6, noise within these
bands will have no affect on the state of the comparator out­put. In Example #1 the noise is well behaved and in band. The
output is clean and well behaved. In Example #2, a significant
amount of out of band noise is present but due to hysteresis
no false triggers occur on the rising positive or falling negative
edges. The hysteresis forces the signal level to move higher
or lower before the output is set to the opposite state.

20175628

FIGURE 6. Output Response with Input Noise Less than

Hysteresis Band

How Much Hysteresis Is Correct?

An effective way of determining the minimum hysteresis nec­essary for clean switching is to decrease the amount of hys­teresis until false triggering is observed, and then use a
multiple of say three times that amount of hysteresis in the
final circuit. This is most easily accomplished in the bread-

board phase by making R1 and R2 potentiometers. For appli­cations near or above +100°C a minimum of 5 mV hysteresis
is recommended due to peaking of the LMP7300 noise sen­sitivity at high temperatures.

LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS

A good PCB layout is always important to reduce output to
input coupling. Positive feedback noise reduces performance.
For the LMP7300 output coupling is minimized by the unique
package pinout. The output is kept away from the non-invert­ing and inverting inputs, the reference and the hysteresis pins.

WINDOW COMPARATOR

Figure 8 shows two LMP7300s configured as a micropower
window detector in a temperature level detection application.
The circuit shown monitors the ambient temperature change.
If the temperature rises outside the 15°C to 35°C window, ei­ther comparator 1 for high temp, or comparator 2 for low temp,
will set low, indicating a fault condition has occurred. The
open collector outputs are pulled up separately but can be
wire-OR’d for a single fault indication. If the temperature re­turns inside the window it must overcome the 22 mV asym­metric hysteresis band established on either comparator. For
the high side the temperature must drop below 34°C and for
the low side the temperature must rise above 16°C for the
outputs to reset high and remove the fault indication. The
temperature is sensed by a 30 kΩ @ 25°C Omega Precision
NTC Thermistor #44008 (±0.2% tol).

PRECISION HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH

The LMP7300 brings accuracy and stability to simple sensor
switch applications. Figure 9 shows the LMP7300 setup in a
high temperature switch configuration. The input bridge es­tablishes the trip point at 85°C and the reset temperature at
80°C. The comparator is set up with positive hysteresis of

14.3 mV and no negative hysteresis. When the temperature
is rising it trips at 85°C. The 14.3 mV hysteresis allows the
temperature to drop to 80°C before reset.

The temperature sensor used is an Omega 44008 Precision
NTC Thermistor. The 44008 has an accuracy of ±0.2°C. The
resistance at 85°C is 3270.9Ω and at 80°C is 3840.2Ω. The
trip voltage threshold is established by one half of the bridge,
which is the ratio of R

ADJ

and R

SET

. The input signal bias is
set by the second half, which is the ratio of the thermistor re­sistance RTH and R

SET

. The resistance values are chosen for

∼50 µA bridge current to minimize the power in the thermistor.

The thermistor specification states it has a 1°C/mW dissipa-

tion error. The reference voltage establishes the supply volt­age for the bridge to make the circuit independent of supply
voltage variation. Capacitor C1 establishes a low frequency
pole at F

CORNER

= 1/(2πC1*2(R

SET

//R

ADJ

)). With the resis­tance values chosen C1 should be selected for Fc < 10 Hz.
This will limit the thermal noise in the bridge.

The accuracy of the circuit can be calculated from the nearest
resistance values chosen. For 1% resistors RADJ is 3.24
kΩ, and R

SET

is 78.7 kΩ. The bridge gain becomes

2.488 mV/C at 85°C. In general, the higher the bridge current
is allowed to be, the higher the bridge gain will be. The actual
trip point found during simulation is 85.3°C and the reset point
is 80.04°C. With the values chosen the worst case trip tem­perature uncertainty is ±1.451°C and the reset uncertainty is
±1.548°C. Accuracy could be maximized with resistors cho­sen to 0.1% values, 0.1% tolerance and by using the 0.1%
model of the Omega 44008 thermistor.

MICROPOWER PRECISION BATTERY LOW VOLTAGE
DETECTOR

The ability of the LMP7300 to operate at very low supply volt­ages, makes it an ideal choice for low battery detection ap­plication in portable equipment. The circuit in Figure 9
performs the function of low voltage threshold detection in a
3 cell 0.9V discharge voltage, battery monitor application.
R1 and R2 are chosen to set the inverting input voltage equal

to the non-inverting input voltage when the battery voltage is
equal to the minimum operating voltage of the system. Here,
the very precise reference output voltage is directly connect­ed to the non-inverting input on the comparator and sets an
accurate threshold voltage. The hysteresis is set to 0 mV
negative and 20 mV positive. The output is off for voltages
higher than the minimum V

BATT

, and turns on when the circuit

detects a minimum battery voltage condition.
