These circuits consist of an accurate voltage reference, a comparator and a pair of output buffer/drivers. • Internal Reference 1.15V Typical • Low Sensitivity to Supply Voltage and Temperature Variations • Wide Supply Voltage Range Typ. 1.8V to 30V • Essentially Constant Supply Current Over Full Supply Voltage Range • Easy to Set Hysteresis Voltage Range • Defined Output Current Limit ICL8211 • High Output Current Capability ICL8212 Specifically, the ICL8211 provides a 7mA current limited output sink when the voltage applied to the ‘THRESHOLD’ terminal is less than 1.15V (the internal reference). The ICL8212 requires a voltage in excess of 1.15V to switch its output on (no current limit). Both devices have a low current output (HYSTERESIS) which is switched on for input voltages in excess of 1.15V. The HYSTERESIS output may be used to provide positive and noise free output switching using a simple feedback network.

The output voltage may be sustained at any voltage up to +30V as long as the maximum power dissipation of the device is not exceeded. 2. The maximum output current of the ICL8212 is not defined. And systems using the ICL8212 must therefore ensure that the output current does not exceed 30mA and that the maximum power dissipation of the device is not exceeded. 3. Threshold Trip Voltage is 0.80V(min) to 1.30V(mas).

OUTPUT SATURATION VOLTAGE 0.6 OUTPUT SAT. CURRENT (VO = 4.0V) 0.5 Components Q1 through Q10 and R1, R2 and R3 set up an accurate voltage reference of 1.15V. This reference voltage is close to the value of the bandgap voltage for silicon and is highly stable with respect to both temperature and supply voltage. The deviation from the bandgap voltage is necessary due to the negative temperature coefficient of the thin film resistors (-5000 ppm per oC). 0.4 VOLTAGE SAT. CURRENT (IO = 10mA) 0.3 0.2 0.1 Components Q 2 through Q9 and R2 make up a constant current source; Q 2 and Q3 are identical and form a current mirror. Q8 has 7 times the emitter area of Q9, and due to the current mirror, the collector currents of Q8 and Q9 are forced to be equal and it can be shown that the collector current in Q8 and Q9 is V+ = +5V VTH = 1.2V 0 -55 -25 +5 +35 +65 +95 +125 TEMPERATURE (o C) IC (Q8 or Q9) = FIGURE 18.

This ensures a constant current supply free from variations. 20 The base current of Q 1 provides sufficient start up current for the constant source; there being two stable states for this type of circuit - either ON as defined above, or OFF if no start up current is provided. Leakage current in the transistors is not sufficient in itself to guarantee reliable startup. VTH = 1.158V 10 VTH = 1.153V 0 0.1 1.0 10.0 OUTPUT VOLTAGE 30.0 100.0 FIGURE 19. OUTPUT CURRENT AS A FUNCTION OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE Q4 is matched to Q3 and Q2; Q10 is matched to Q9. Thus the IC and VBE of Q10 are identical to that of Q9 or Q8. To generate the bandgap voltage, it is necessary to sum a voltage equal to the base emitter voltage of Q9 to a voltage proportional to the difference of the base emitter voltages of two transistors Q8 and Q9 operating at two current densities. HYSTERESIS OUTPUT CURRENT (µA) 0 -5 Thus 1.5 = VBE (Q9 or Q10) + VT = 1.152V R3 R2 x kT q -10 VT = 1.153V which provides: -15 -20 -25 -40 -10.00 R2 = 12 (approximately.) The total supply current consumed by the voltage reference section is approximately 6µA at room temperature. A voltage at the THRESHOLD input is compared to the reference 1.15V by the comparator consisting of transistors Q11 through Q17. The outputs from the comparator are limited to two diode drops less than V+ or approximately 1.1V. Thus the base current into the hysteresis output transistor is limited to about 500nA and the collector current of Q19 to 100µA. VT = 1.18V -30 -35 R3 TA = +25o C V+ = +10V -1.00 -0.10 -0.01 HYSTERESIS OUTPUT VOLTAGE FIGURE 20. HYSTERESIS OUTPUT CURRENT AS A FUNCTION OF HYSTERESIS OUTPUT VOLTAGE In the case of the ICL8211, Q 21 is proportioned to have 70 times the emitter area of Q20 thereby limiting the output current to approximately 7mA, whereas for the ICL8212 7-168 ICL8211, ICL8212 almost all the collector current of Q 19 is available for base drive to Q21, resulting in a maximum available collector current of the order of 30mA. It is advisable to externally limit this current to 25mA or less. Applications The ICL8211 and ICL8212 are similar in many respects, especially with regard to the setup of the input trip conditions and hysteresis circuitry. The following discussion describes both devices, and where differences occur they are clearly noted. General Information Threshold Input Considerations Although any voltage between -5V and V+ may be applied to the THRESHOLD terminal, it is recommended that the THRESHOLD voltage does not exceed about +6V since above that voltage the threshold input current increases sharply. Also, prolonged operation above this voltage will lead to degradation of device characteristics. The outputs change states with an input THRESHOLD voltage of approximately 1.15V. Input and output waveforms are shown in Figure 21 for a simple 1.15V level detector. such as TTL or CMOS using a single pullup resistor. There is a guaranteed TTL fanout of 2 for the ICL8211 and 4 for the ICL8212. A principal application of the ICL8211 is voltage level detection, and for that reason the OUTPUT current has been limited to typically 7mA to permit direct drive of an LED connected to the positive supply without a series current limiting resistor. On the other hand the ICL8212 is intended for applications such as programmable zener references, and voltage regulators where output currents well in excess of 7mA are desirable. Therefore, the output of the ICL8212 is not current limited, and if the output is used to drive an LED, a series current limiting resistor must be used. In most applications an input resistor divider network may be used to generate the 1.15V required for VTH. For high accuracy, currents as large as 50µA may be used, however for those applications where current limiting may be desirable, (such as when operating from a battery) currents as low as 6mA may be considered without a great loss of accuracy. 6mA represents a practical minimum, since it is about this level where the device’s own input current becomes a significant percentage of that flowing in the divider network.

INPUT RESISTOR NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS The HYSTERESIS output is a low current output and is intended primarily for input threshold voltage hysteresis applications. If this output is used for other applications it is suggested that output currents be limited to 10µA or less. Case 1. High accuracy required, current in resistor network unimportant Set I = 50µA for VTH = 1.15V ∴ R1 → 20kΩ The regular OUTPUT’s from either the ICL8211 or ICL8212 may be used to drive most of the common logic families Case 2.

Use of the HYSTERESIS function The disadvantage of the simple detection circuits is that there is a small but finite input range where the outputs are neither totally ‘ON’ nor totally ‘OFF’. The principle behind hysteresis is to provide positive feedback to the input trip point such that there is a voltage difference between the input voltage necessary to turn the outputs ON and OFF. The advantage of hysteresis is especially apparent in electrically noisy environments where simple but positive voltage detection is required. Hysteresis circuitry, however, is not limited to applications requiring better noise performance but may be expanded into highly complex systems with multiple voltage level detection and memory applications-refer to specific applications section. V- Input voltage to change to output states (R1 + R2) = x 1.15V R1 FIGURE 24. RANGE OF INPUT VOLTAGE GREATER THAN +1.15 VOLTS There are two simple methods to apply hysteresis to a circuit for use in supply voltage level detection. These are shown in Figure 27. Setup Procedures For Voltage Level Detection Case 1. Simple voltage detection no hysteresis Unless an input voltage of approximately 1.15V is to be detected, resistor networks will be used to divide or multiply the unknown voltage to be sensed. Figure 25 shows procedures on how to set up resistor networks to detect INPUT VOLTAGES of any magnitude and polarity. MAY BE ANY STABLE VOLTAGE VOLTAGE REFERENCE GREATER THAN 1.15V VREF (+VE) R2 R1 1 8 2 7 3 6 4 5 A third way to obtain hysteresis (ICL8211 only) is to connect a resistor between the OUTPUT and the THRESHOLD terminals thereby reducing the total external resistance between the THRESHOLD and GROUND when the OUTPUT is switched on. V+ Practical Applications Low Voltage Battery Indicator (Figure 28) This application is particularly suitable for portable or remote operated equipment which requires an indication of a depleted or discharged battery. The quiescent current taken by the system will be typically 35µA which will increase to 7mA when the lamp is turned on. R3 will provide hysteresis if required.

INPUT RESISTOR NETWORK SETUP PROCEDURES Nonvolatile Low Voltage Detector (Figure 29) For supply voltage level detection applications the input resistor network is connected across the supply terminals as shown in Figure 26. V+ R2 1 8 2 7 3 6 4 5 The circuit of Figure 27A requires that the full current flowing in the resistor network be sourced by the HYSTERESIS output, whereas for circuit Figure 27B the current to be sourced by the HYSTERESIS output will be a function of the ratio of the two trip points and their values. For low values of hysteresis, circuit Figure 27B is to be preferred due to the offset voltage of the hysteresis output transistor. INPUT VOLTAGE OR SUPPLY VOLTAGE R1 VO FIGURE 26. COMBINED INPUT AND SUPPLY VOLTAGES In this application the high trip voltage VTR2 is set to be above the normal supply voltage range. On power up the initial condition is A. On momentarily closing switch S1 the operating point changes to B and will remain at B until the supply voltage drops below VTR1, at which time the output will revert to condition A. Note that state A is always retained if the supply voltage is reduced below VTR1 (even to zero volts) and then raised back to VNOM. Nonvolatile Power Supply Malfunction Recorde (Figure 30 and Figure 31) In many systems a transient or an extended abnormal (or absence of a) supply voltage will cause a system failure. This failure may take the form of information lost in a volatile semiconductor memory stack, a loss of time in a timer or even possible irreversible damage to components if a supply voltage exceeds a certain value.

TWO ATERNATIVE VOLTAGE DETECTION CIRCUITS EMPLOYING HYSTERESIS TO PROVIDE PAIRS OF WELL DEFINED TRIP VOLTAGES 7-171 ICL8211, ICL8212 has occurred, even in the case where a supply voltage may have dropped to zero. Upon power up to the normal operating voltage this record must have been retained and easily interrogated. This could be important in the case of a transient power failure due to a faulty component or intermittent power supply, open circuit, etc., where direct observation of the failure is difficult. A simple circuit to record an out of range voltage excursion may be constructed using an ICL8211, an ICL8212 plus a few resistors. This circuit will operate to 30V without exceeding the maximum ratings of the ICs. The two voltage limits defining the in range supply voltage may be set to any value between 2.0V and 30V. The ICL8212 is used to detect a voltage, V 2, which is the upper voltage limit to the operating voltage range. The ICL8211 detects the lower voltage limit of the operating voltage range, V1. Hysteresis is used with the ICL8211 so that the output can be stable in either state over the operating voltage range V1 to V 2 by making V3 - the upper trip point of the ICL8211 much higher in voltage than V2. ICL8211 into the ON state above V 2. Thus there is no value of the supply voltage that will result in the output of the ICL8211 changing from the ON state to the OFF state. This may be achieved only by shorting out R3 for values of supply voltage between V 1 and V2. Constant Current Sources (Figure 32) The ICL8212 may be used as a constant current source of value of approximately 25µA by connecting the THRESHOLD terminal to GROUND. Similarly the ICL8211 will provide a 130µA constant current source. The equivalent parallel resistance is in the tens of megohms over the supply voltage range of 2V to 30V. These constant current sources may be used to provide basing for various circuitry including differential amplifiers and comparators. See Typical Operating Characteristics for complete information. Programmable Zener Voltage Reference (Figure 33) The ICL8212 may be used to simulate a zener diode by connecting the OUTPUT terminal to the VZ output and using a resistor network connected to the THRESHOLD terminal The output of the ICL8212 is used to force the output of the V+ R3 1 R4 8 ICL8212 2 S1 RESET 1 8 ICL8211 7 2 3 6 3 6 4 5 4 5 R2 7 R6 R5 OUTPUT R1 FIGURE 30.

R1 Q1 R3 V+ 1 Since there is no internal compensation in the ICL8212 it is necessary to use a large capacitor across the output to prevent oscillation. UNREG2 ULATED DC SUPPLY 3 Zener voltages from 2V to 30V may be programmed and typical impedance values between 300µA and 25µA will range from 4Ω to 7Ω.

PRECISION VOLTAGE REGULATOR This regulator may be used with lower input voltages than most other commercially available regulators and also consumes less power for a given output control current than any commercial regulator. Applications would therefore include battery operated equipment especially those operating at low voltages. I I = 25µA (ICL8212) I = 130µA (ICL8211) FIGURE 32.

For circuits consuming less than 5mA this may be achieved using an ICL8211 driving the load directly. For higher load currents it is necessary to use an external pnp transistor or darlington pair driven by the output of the ICL8211. Resistors R1 and R2 set up the disconnect voltage and R3 provides optional voltage hysteresis if so desired. 6 4 R2 + R1 x 1.15V R1 R2 1 2 ICL8211 8 V+ 7 CIRCUIT BEING PROTECTED R3 3 6 4 5 0 0.01 0.1 1.0 SUPPLY CURRENT (mA) 10 100 V- R1 FIGURE 33.

HIGH VOLTAGE DUMP CIRCUITS Frequency Limit Detector (Figure 36) Simple frequency limit detectors providing a GO/NO-GO output for use with varying amplitude input signals may be conveniently implemented with the ICL8211/8212. In the 7-173 ICL8211, ICL8212 frequencies the output will switch at the input frequency. application shown, the first ICL8212 is used as a zero crossing detector. The output circuit consisting of R 3, R 4 and C2 results in a slow output positive ramp. The negative range is much faster than the positive range. R5 and R6 provide hysteresis so that under all circumstances the second ICL8212 is turned on for sufficient time to discharge C3. The time constant of R7 C3 Is much greater than R4 C 2. Depending upon the desired output polarities for low and high input frequencies, either an ICL8211 or an ICL8212 may be used as the output driver. Switch Bounce Filter (Figure 37) Single pole single throw (SPST) switches are less costly and more available than single pole double throw (SPDT) switches. SPST switches range from push button and slide types to calculator keyboards. A major problem with the use of switches is the mechanical bounce of the electrical contacts on closure. Contact bounce times can range from a fraction of a millisecond to several tens of milliseconds depending upon the switch type. During this contact bounce time the switch may make and break contact several times. The circuit shown in Figure 37 provides a rapid charge up of C1 to close to the positive supply This circuit is sensitive to supply voltage variations and should be used with a stabilized power supply.
