MIC841/842 Comparator with 1.25% Reference and Adjustable Hysteresis General Description Features The MIC841 and MIC842 are micro-power, precisionvoltage comparators with an on-chip voltage reference. • • • • • • • • Both devices are intended for voltage monitoring applications. External resistors are used to set the voltage monitor threshold. When the threshold is crossed, the outputs switch polarity. The MIC842 incorporates a voltage reference and comparator with fixed internal hysteresis; two external resistors are used to set the switching threshold voltage. The MIC841 provides a similar function with user adjustable hysteresis; this part requires three external resistors to set the upper and lower thresholds (the difference between the threshold voltages being the hysteresis voltage). Both the MIC841 and MIC842 are available with push-pull or open-drain output stage. The push-pull output stage is configured either active high or active low; the open-drain output stage is only configured active low. Supply current is extremely low (1.5μA, typical), making it ideal for portable applications. The MIC841/2 is supplied in Micrel’s Teeny™ 5-pin SC-70, 6-pin 1.6mm × 1.6mm Thin DFN (MIC841), and 4pin 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin DFN (MIC842) packages.

July 24, 2015 5 Revision 5.0 Micrel, Inc. MIC841/842 Application Information Output The MIC841N and MIC842N outputs are an open-drain MOSFET, so most applications will require a pull-up resistor. The value of the resistor should not be too large or leakage effects may dominate. 470kΩ is the maximum recommended value. Note that the output of “N” version may be pulled up as high as 6V regardless of the ICs supply voltage. The “H” and “L” versions of the MIC841 and MIC842 have a push-pull output stage, with a diode clamped to VDD. Thus, the maximum output voltage of the “H” and “L” versions is VDD (see Electrical Characteristics). In order to provide the additional criteria needed to solve for the resistor values, the resistors can be selected such that they have a given total value, that is, R1 + R2 + R3 = RTOTAL. A value such as 1MΩ for RTOTAL is a reasonable value because it draws minimum current but has no significant effect on accuracy. When working with large resistors on the input to the devices, a small amount of leakage current can cause voltage offsets that degrade system accuracy. The maximum recommended total resistance from VIN to ground is 3MΩ. The accuracy of the resistors can be chosen based upon the accuracy required by the system. The inputs may be subjected to voltages as high as 6V steady-state without adverse effects of any kind regardless of the ICs supply voltage. This applies even if the supply voltage is zero. This permits the situation in which the IC’s supply is turned off, but voltage is still present on the inputs (see Electrical Characteristics). Figure 1. MIC841 Example Circuit Once the desired trip points are determined, set the VIN(HI) threshold first. Programming the MIC841 Thresholds The low-voltage threshold is calculated using Equation 1: R1 + R 2 + R3 VIN(LO) = VREF R 2 + R3 For example, use a total of 1MΩ = R1 + R2 + R3. For a typical single-cell lithium ion battery, 3.6V is a good “high threshold” because at 3.6V the battery is moderately charged. Solving for R3: Eq. 1 1MΩ VIN(HI) = 3.6V = 1.24V R3 The high-voltage threshold is calculated using Equation 2: Eq. 3 Where: R1 + R 2 + R3 VIN(HI) = VREF R3 R3 = 344kΩ Eq. 2 Once R3 is determined, the equation for VIN(LO) can be used to determine R2. A single lithium-ion cell, for example, should not be discharged below 2.5V. Many applications limit the drain to 3.1V. Where, for both equations: VREF = 1.240V July 24, 2015 6 Revision 5.0 Micrel, Inc. MIC841/842 Using 3.1V for the VIN(LO) threshold allows calculation of the two remaining resistor values: 1MΩ VIN(LO) = 3.1V = 1.24V R 2 + 344kΩ Eq. 4 Where: R2 = 56kΩ Figure 3. MIC842 Example Circuit R1 = 1MΩ − R2 − R3 R1 = 600kΩ In order to provide the additional criteria needed to solve for the resistor values, the resistors can be selected such that they have a given total value, that is, R1 + R2 = RTOTAL. A value such as 1MΩ for RTOTAL is a reasonable value because it draws minimum current but has no significant effect on accuracy. The accuracy of the resistors can be chosen based upon the accuracy required by the system. VIN VIN(HI) VIN(LO) Input Transients The MIC841/2 is inherently immune to very short negative-going “glitches.” Very brief transients may exceed the VIN(LO) threshold without tripping the output. VHYSTERISIS 0V As shown in Figure 4, the narrower the transient, the deeper the threshold overdrive that will be ignored by the MIC841/2. The graph represents the typical allowable transient duration for a given amount of threshold overdrive that will not generate an output. OUT H AND N VERSIONS 0V OUT L VERSION 0V Figure 2.
