Dual Differential Input Comparator
High Input Impedance Comparator
The LTC®1531 is an isolated self-powered dual differential
comparator. An internal capacitive isolation barrier provides 2500VRMS of isolation between the comparator and
its output. The part provides UL-rated isolated comparisons without the need for an isolated supply since both
comparator power and output data are transmitted across
the capacitive barrier. The comparator data is transferred
differentially across the isolation barrier to provide high
common mode voltage and noise immunity.

The isolated side can supply a 2.5V reference output to
power external sensor circuits such as a thermistor bridge.
The dual differential comparator inputs allow for comparison of two differential voltages as well as single-ended
voltages. The powered side provides a latched data output
as well as a pulsed zero-cross comparator output for
controlling a triac. The part is available in a 28-lead SO
package.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LTC1531 is an isolated self-powered dual differential
comparator. It contains a switched-capacitor comparator
that is self-powered through a capacitive isolation barrier.
The capacitive isolation barrier provides 2500VRMS of
isolation. The isolated comparator cycles between storing
power and performing sampled comparisons. During the
power delivery cycle, the nonisolated powered side delivers power through the internal isolation capacitors and
rectifier onto an external storage capacitor. Periodically
the isolated comparator makes a comparison if sufficient
voltage has been stored on the external supply capacitor.
See Timing and Block Diagrams.
During a comparison, the isolated side uses the energy
stored on the external capacitor to deliver a regulated 2.5V
power source for 108µs followed by a sampled comparison. The result is transmitted back to the nonisolated
powered side and latched as the logic level DATA output.
A comparison will occur during the listen cycle if sufficient
voltage (3.3V) has been stored on the isolated external
capacitor. New DATA is latched only if a comparison was
actually done. A zero-crossing trigger pulse output for
firing a triac, ZCDATA, is available to trigger a triac when
the latched DATA output is high. A VALID data output pulse
is provided after each power-listen cycle in which a comparison was done to indicate that DATA has been updated.
The VALID output can be used to clock external circuitry
when a new comparator DATA value occurs.
POWER-LISTEN CYCLE
Self-Powering Through the Isolation Barrier
The LTC1531 comparator powered side toggles between
delivering power to the isolated side and listening for a
comparison result (see Timing Diagram). During the power
cycle, AC power is delivered through the isolation capacitors, formed in the lead frame, to the isolated side. During
the listen cycle, the powered side receives pulses from the
isolated side and determines if a valid comparison
occurred.
The isolated side of the LTC1531 requires an external
capacitor connected to VPW whose value must be large
enough to sustain less than a 300mV drop for 108µs with
the internal + external VREG load current. Power is deliv-
6
ered to this external capacitor through the internal isolation capacitors and rectifiers during the power cycle.
When this voltage reaches approximately 3.3V, the compare circuitry is enabled and a comparison will occur
during the next listen cycle. With VCC = 5V, this capacitive
coupled isolated power source can be modeled as an
equivalent 5.3V to 6.5V source with a 100kΩ source
impedance. The VPW pin will tend to self-regulate at 3.3V
with a ripple determined by the discharge current supplied
during the 108µs VREG output pulse and the external
capacitor value. The value of the capacitor affects the initial
start-up time and the ripple voltage on VPW, but it does not
influence the sample rate of the comparator. This is
because the sample rate is determined by the rate of power
delivered through the isolation barrier and the rate it is
consumed in the internal plus external isolated circuits.
Any excessive external DC loading on VPW may prevent the
capacitor voltage from reaching the required 3.3V enable
voltage. Up to 20µA of continuous loading on VPW can be
tolerated based on the 100k, 5.3V model of the power
source (see Typical Applications for examples). The quiescent current of the isolated side is approximately 2µA
to 3µA.
SAMPLE RATE
The comparator sample rate depends on the charging rate
through the isolated capacitors and the external + internal
load current . The power-listen cycles at 700Hz to 900Hz,
however, a comparison will only occur when VPW exceeds
the 3.3V enable voltage. Typical sample rate for light
loading is 200Hz to 300Hz. The actual sampling is not
uniform, but occurs during the listen period of the power
cycle and when VPW ≥ 3.3V. Typical sample rates for
various supply and load conditions are plotted in Figure 3.
Continuous micropower loads will also decrease the sample
rate.
VREG Reference Output
The VREG reference output pulses on for approximately
108µs at 2.5V. During the off time, VREG does not go high
impedance. The VREG output stage is shown in Figure 5.
Large capacitance should not be attached to VREG in order
to avoid power loss. Charging of the VREG output capaci-

tance, which will subsequently be discharged between
samples, will consume power from VPW.
ISOLATED COMPARATOR INPUTS AND CMPOUT
The LTC1531 isolated comparator has a 4-input
summing comparator that performs the following
comparison:
(V1 + V2)/2 > (V3 + V4)/2
By rearranging the equation, for example, a dual differential comparison is performed:
(V1 – V4) > (V3 – V2) or (V1 – V3) > (V4 – V2)
The input has a rail-to-rail input and common mode
voltage range of VPW -ISOGND. The summing nature of the
inputs allows midsupply referencing. For example, connecting V3 to VREG and V4 to ISOGND sums together to
provide VREG/2 for the negative comparator input. See for
example, the Isolated Switch Control.
Charge injection and leakage currents occur at the comparator inputs. The amount depends on how the comparator is used. Minimum leakage currents occur with V1 = V2
and V3 = V4 where the input impedance is from charge
injection and is nominally 300MΩ. When V1 ≠ V2 or
V3 ≠ V4, the input impedance due to leakage currents is
about 15MΩ to 20MΩ. Since the comparator is turned on
only for the last 10µs of the 108µs VREG period, the charge
injection occurs at about the 98µs point with a coupling
capacitance of 2pF per input.
The CMPOUT signal is typically used to provide hysteresis, as in the Isolated Temperature Control application.
CMPOUT is the latched result of the previous comparison
and is active during the following VREG ON period. CMPOUT
is powered by VREG, the internal 2.5V regulated output,
and is in high impedance except during the 108µs
VREG ON time. When active, CMPOUT is switched low to
ISOGND or high to VREG depending on the stored result of
the previous comparison. The stored CMPOUT data is
reset during power-up. CMPOUT is not necessarily reset
by the powered side SHDN pin, except when shutdown
results in VPW drooping low enough to trigger a power-on
reset on the isolated side between 1.5V to 2.5V.
DATA, VALID, ZCDATA
During a power cycle, the VALID signal goes high if a valid
comparison was made during the previous listen cycle.
VALID goes low at the beginning of the next listen cycle.
The low-to-high transition of VALID can be used to clock
DATA into external circuitry. VALID is delayed 200ns after
the DATA output. In order for a comparison to occur,
sufficient power must be stored on the isolated side
storage capacitor.
The DATA output holds the last received compare result.
DATA is reset to zero on power-up and shutdown. The
VALID output is held high for one power cycle following a
correctly received compare result. The received DATA
value from the isolated side contains redundancy to improve noise immunity.
The ZCDATA is a 25µs output pulse triggered by the zerocross comparator. In order for a pulse to occur, the DATA
output must be at logic 1 and the ZCPOS-ZCNEG zerocross comparator input crosses 0V after the input has
exceeded the ±150mV to 800mV of hysteresis. The zerocross comparator output is typically used to trigger a triac
from a 60Hz RC phase shifted AC line signal. See Typical
Applications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The zero-cross comparator inputs, ZCPOS and ZCNEG,
have an input common mode range that allows signal
swings near the positive supply rails. The ZCPOS and
ZCNEG inputs contain ESD diode protection devices which
will clamp input signals that go below GND. The current
into the diode should be limited to less than 5mA. The
Isolated Thermistor Temperature Controller shows an
example phase shift network with attenuation that satisfies these conditions. The positive input voltage should
not exceed the 12V maximum rating or the 5mA input
current to the ESD diode clamp.
ISOLATION dV/dt
The maximum continuous dV/dt across the isolation barrier that will still allow the isolated comparator to operate
is 50V/µs. Continuous rates of dV/dt greater than this
cause the isolated side to not detect when its power cycle
has stopped and a comparison should begin. Figure 4
shows the maximum continuous rate trade-off of frequency vs voltage of a sine wave:
SR = (π)(f)(VP-P)
where SR = slew rate, VP-P = the peak-to-peak voltage and
f = frequency. Noise immunity to intermittent dV/dt rates
greater than 50V/µs can be rejected by the LTC1531.
AC Noise Rejection and Things to Avoid
Minimizing AC noise pickup at the isolated comparator
should follow the following guidelines.
1. Allow the isolated side ground to float. The isolated side
should only be common with the isolated circuit.
2. Use hysteresis to decrease sensitivity by using CMPOUT.
3. Use lower impedance circuits if powered by VREG.
Avoid large capacitance tied directly to VREG output,
since this output does not go Hi-Z (high impedance)
during the off time.
PC Board Layout
The PC board layout should not have copper near the lead
frame isolation capacitors. The copper reduces the power
coupling and power delivery to the isolated side (see
Figure 6).

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS DESCRIPTION
The Isolated Thermistor Temperature Controller (front
page) uses a simple AC power rectifier and Zener to
provide 5.6V of DC power to the LTC1531. To avoid power
dissipation in the 3k, 3W resistor, DC power can be
provided with a charge pump circuit similar to the Isolated
Switch Control. In this circuit, a thermistor half bridge is
used with the 4-input comparator connected to provide
the other half of the bridge, V4 = 2.5V, V3 = 0V, giving
(V4 + V3)/2 = 1.25V. With the 50k pot set to about 30k, the
trip point is 25°C with a hysteresis of ±0.5°C. Here, VREG
turns on and powers the half-bridge while the comparator
samples the result. The zero-cross comparator, ZCPOS
and ZCNEG, is used to trigger a triac at the 10° phase point.
The circuit, R1, R2 and C1, provides the phase shift, θ, as
determined by:
R2C1 ≅ tan(θ)/2π60Hz
and where the attenuation ≅ R2/R1. In this example,
R1 = 680k, R2 = 47k and C1 = 0.01µF, provide a 7V peak
input signal with 10° of phase lag.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The Remote Light-Controlled Switch (Figure 7) is similar
to the Isolated Thermistor Temperature Controller. The
thermistor is replaced with a Cadmium Light Sensor.
The Isolated Switch Control (Figure 8) is also similar,
where a low voltage switch is isolated from the AC power
control. Here, a charge pump using the 1µF nonpolar
capacitor and diodes are used for powering the LTC1531.
The Isolated Voltage Sense circuit (Figure 9) uses the
three-state CMPOUT pin in a delta-sigma configuration.
Here, the time constant of R1C1 is increased by the
effective duty cycle of CMPOUT ON to OFF time. At a 300Hz
sample rate and a typical ON time of 108µs, the time
constant is:
(1M • 0.22µF)/(300Hz • 108µs) ≈ 6.6sec
The input range is 0V to 2.5V set by the VREG output
voltage. The output is recovered using a rail-to-rail op
amp, LT1490, averaging circuit with a 10sec time constant. The output range is 0V to VCC output for a 0V to VREG
input range.
The Isolated Potentiometer Transducer Sense circuit
(Figure 10) uses the same principle as the Isolated Voltage
Sense circuit to provide a 0V to VCC output proportional to
the potentiometer sensor input.
The Isolated Thermocouple Voltage circuit (Figure 11)
again uses the delta-sigma approach to translate a thermocouple temperature into a 0V to VCC output. Additionally, a micropower op amp, the LT1495, is used to provide
a continuous voltage amplification of the thermocouple.
The LT1389 with the thermistor bridge provides cold
junction compensation over a 0°C to 60°C temperature
range within ±0.5°C. The op amp gain is set to give the Ktype thermocouple a 0°C to 200°C range which translates
to a 0V to VCC output signal. Reducing R3 will increase the
temperature sensing range.
The Over Temperature Detect circuit (Figure 12) uses the
same continuous micropower cold junction compensation circuit as in the Isolated Thermocouple Voltage circuit. In this case, the comparator’s minus input is set to
1.25V, which corresponds to 100°C as set by the LT1495
op amp gain. When the thermocouple exceeds 100°C,
VTRIP goes high.
The Isolated Battery Cell Monitor circuit (Figure 13) uses
LTC1531 isolation to both float the individual grounds on
the isolated comparator and isolate the battery from the
logic outputs, CELL1, CELL2, ... In this application, R1 and
R2 (R3 and R4) divide the 2.5V reference down to 0.89V,
while the cell voltage is divided in half by connecting V1 to
the cell and V2 to 0V. Hence, when the cell voltage drops
below 1.786V, CELL1 goes high. Likewise for additional
cells with additional LTC1531s.
The Isolated Window Comparator circuit (Figure 14) uses
two LTC1531s and a logic gate to provide isolated window
comparisons. In this circuit, the first LTC1531, VHIGH,
does the comparison:
V1 – V3 > V4 – V2
or
(0V – X • VREG) > (VIN– – VIN+)
or
X • VREG < (VIN+ – VIN–)
where X = R2/(R2 + R1).
The second LTC1531, VLOW, does the comparison:
(–X • VREG) > (VIN+ – VIN–)
When (VIN+ – VIN–) is less than –X • VREG, VLOW goes high
and when (VIN+ – VIN–) is greater than X • VREG, VHIGH
goes high. In between –X • VREG and +X • VREG, VWINDOW
is high. Therefore, the window width is 2 • X • VREG.
The AC Line Overcurrent Detect circuit (Figure 15) uses
the micropower op amps, the quad LTC1496, to peak
detect the voltage across a sense resistor in series with an
AC load. The two amplifiers connected to RSENSE act as
half-wave rectifiers because their outputs cannot swing
below ground. The gain is set to trip when the voltage on
RSENSE exceeds 125mV and the minus comparator input
is set to 1.25V. The peak detector has a discharge resistor
of 1M plus the op amp input bias current.
