LMC6762
Dual MicroPower Rail-To-Rail Input CMOS Comparator
with Push-Pull Output
General Description
The LMC6762 is an ultra low power dual comparator with a
maximum supply current of 10 µA/comparator. It is designed
to operate over a wide range of supply voltages, from 2.7V to
15V. The LMC6762 has guaranteed specs at 2.7V to meet
the demands of 3V digital systems.
The LMC6762 has an input common-mode voltage range
which exceeds both supplies. This is a significant advantage
in low-voltage applications. The LMC6762 also features a
push-pull output that allows direct connections to logic de-
vices without a pull-up resistor.
A quiescent power consumption of 50 µW/amplifier
(@V
+
= 5V) makes the LMC6762 ideal for applications in
portable phones and hand-held electronics. The ultra-low
supply current is also independent of power supply voltage.
Guaranteed operation at 2.7V and a rail-to-rail performance
makes this device ideal for battery-powered applications.
Refer to the LMC6772 datasheet for an open-drain version
of this device.

Application Hints
1.0 INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE RANGE
At supply voltages of 2.7V, 5V and 15V, the LMC6762 has an
input common-mode voltage range which exceeds both sup-
plies. As in the case of operational amplifiers, CMVR is
defined by the V
OS
shift of the comparator over the common-
mode range of the device. A CMRR (V
OS
/V
CM
)of75dB
(typical) implies a shift of <1 mV over the entire common-
mode range of the device. The absolute maximum input
voltage at V
+
= 5V is 200 mV beyond either supply rail at
room temperature.
A wide input voltage range means that the comparator can
be used to sense signals close to ground and also to the
power supplies. This is an extremely useful feature in power
supply monitoring circuits.
An input common-mode voltage range that exceeds the
supplies, 20 fA input currents (typical), and a high input
impedance makes the LMC6762 ideal for sensor applica-
tions. The LMC6762 can directly interface to sensors without
the use of amplifiers or bias circuits. In circuits with sensors
which produce outputs in the tens to hundreds of millivolts,
the LMC6762 can compare the sensor signal with an appro-
priately small reference voltage. This reference voltage can
be close to ground or the positive supply rail.
2.0 LOW VOLTAGE OPERATION
Comparators are the common devices by which analog sig-
nals interface with digital circuits. The LMC6762 has been
designed to operate at supply voltages of 2.7V without sac-
rificing performance to meet the demands of 3V digital sys-
tems.
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 the positive rail, is extremely useful in low
voltage applications.
At V
+
= 2.7V, propagation delays are t

=4µsandt
PHL
=
4 µs with overdrives of 100 mV. Please refer to the perfor-
mance curves for more extensive characterization.
3.0 SHOOT-THROUGH CURRENT
The shoot-through current is defined as the current surge,
above the quiescent supply current, between the positive
and negative supplies of a device. The current surge occurs
when the output of the device switches states. This transient
switching current results in glitches in the supply voltage.
Usually, glitches in the supply lines are compensated by
bypass capacitors. When the switching currents are minimal,
the values of the bypass capacitors can be reduced consid-
erably.

FIGURE 3. LMC6762 Circuit for Measurement
of the Shoot-Through Current
LMC6762
www.national.com9
Application Hints (Continued)
From Figure 3 and Figure 4 the shoot-through current for the
LMC6762 can be approximated to be 0.2 mA (200 mV/1 k).
The duration of the transient is measured as 1 µs. The
values needed for the local bypass capacitors can be calcu-
lated as follows:
01232009
Area of =
1
2
(1 µs x 200 µA)
= 100 pC
If the local bypass capacitor has to provide this charge of
100 pC, the minimum value of the local capacitor to prevent
local degradation of V
CC
can be calculated. Suppose that the
maximum voltage droop that the system can tolerate is
100mV,
Q =C*(V)
C=(Q/V)
= 100 pC/100 mV
= 0.001 µF
The low internal feedthrough current of the LMC6762 thus
requires lower values for the local bypass capacitors. In
applications where precision is not critical, this is a signifi-
cant advantage, as lower values of capacitors result in sav-
ings of board space, and cost.
It is worth noting here that the delta shift of the power supply
voltage due to the transient currents causes a threshold shift
of the comparator. This threshold shift is reduced by the high
PSRR of the comparator. However, the value of the PSRR
applicable in this instance is the transient PSRR and not the
DC PSRR. The transient PSRR is significantly lower than the
DC PSRR.
Generally, it is a good goal to reduce the delta voltage on the
power supply to a value equal to or less than the hysteresis
of the comparator. For example, if the comparator has 50 mV
of hysteresis, it would be reasonable to increase the value of
the local bypass capacitor to 0.01 µF to reduce the voltage
delta to 10 mV.
4.0 OUTPUT SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT
The LMC6762 has short circuit protection of 40 mA. How-
ever, it is not designed to withstand continuous short circuits,
transient voltage or current spikes, or shorts to any voltage
beyond the supplies. A resistor is series with the output
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 HYSTERESIS
If the input signal is very noisy, the comparator output might
trip several times as the input signal repeatedly passes
through the threshold. This problem can be addressed by
making use of hysteresis as shown below.
The capacitor added across the feedback resistor increases
the switching speed and provides more short term hyster-
esis. This can result in greater noise immunity for the circuit.
6.0 SPICE MACROMODEL
A Spice Macromodel is available for the LMC6762. The
model includes a simulation of:
Input common-mode voltage range
Quiescent and dynamic supply current
Input overdrive characteristics
and many more characteristics as listed on the macromodel
disk.

Typical Applications
ONE-SHOT MULTIVIBRATOR
A monostable multivibrator has one stable state in which it
can remain indefinitely. It can be triggered externally to
another quasi-stable state. A monostable multivibrator can
thus be used to generate a pulse of desired width.
The desired pulse width is set by adjusting the values of C
2
and R
4
. The resistor divider of R
1
and R
2
can be used to
determine the magnitude of the input trigger pulse. The
LMC6762 will change state when V
1
<V
2
. Diode D
2
pro-
vides a rapid discharge path for capacitor C
2
to reset at the
end of the pulse. The diode also prevents the non-inverting
input from being driven below ground.
BI-STABLE MULTIVIBRATOR
A bi-stable multivibrator has two stable states. The reference
voltage is set up by the voltage divider of R
2
and R
3
. A pulse
applied to the SET terminal will switch the output of the
comparator high. The resistor divider of R
1
,R
4
, and R
5
now
clamps the non-inverting input to a voltage greater than the
reference voltage. A pulse applied to RESET will now toggle
the output low.
ZERO CROSSING DETECTOR
A voltage divider of R
4
and R
5
establishes a reference
voltage V
1
at the non-inverting input. By making the series
resistance of R
1
and R
2
equal to R
5
, the comparator will
switch when V
IN
= 0. Diode D
1
insures that V
3
never drops
below −0.7V. The voltage divider of R
2
and R
3
then prevents
V
2
from going below ground. A small amount of hysteresis is
setup to ensure rapid output voltage transitions.
OSCILLATOR
Figure 9 shows the application of the LMC6762 in a square
wave generator circuit. The total hysteresis of the loop is set
by R
1
,R
2
and R
3
.R
4
and R
5
provide separate charge and
discharge paths for the capacitor C. The charge path is set
through R
4
and D
1
. So, the pulse width t
1
is determined by
the RC time constant of R
4
and C. Similarly, the discharge
path for the capacitor is set by R
5
and D
2
. Thus, the time t
2
between the pulses can be changed by varying R
5
, and the
pulse width can be altered by R
4
. The frequency of the
output can be changed by varying both R
4
and R
5
.

Typical Applications (Continued)
The circuit shown above provides output signals at a pre-
scribed time interval from a time reference and automatically
resets the output when the input returns to ground. Consider
the case of V
IN
= 0. The output of comparator 4 is also at
ground. This implies that the outputs of comparators 1, 2,
and 3 are also at ground. When an input signal is applied,
the output of comparator 4 swings high and C charges
exponentially through R. This is indicated above.
The output voltages of comparators 1, 2, and 3 switch to the
high state when V
C1
rises above the reference voltage V
A
,
V
B
and V
C
. A small amount of hysteresis has been provided
to insure fast switching when the RC time constant is chosen
to give long delay times.
