TS12001 Demo Board
A 0.65V/1µA Nanopower Voltage Detector with Dual Outputs
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION



The demo board for the TS12001 is a completely
assembled and tested circuit board that can be used
for evaluating the TS12001. The TS12001 voltage
detector combines a 0.58V reference and a
comparator with resettable comparator latch in a
single package. The TS12001 operates from a single
0.65V to 2.5V power supply and consumes less than
1µA total supply current. Optimized for ultra-long life
operation, the TS12001 expands the growing
“NanoWatt Analog™” high-performance analog
integrated circuits portfolio.

The voltage detector exhibits a preset UVLO
threshold voltage of 0.78V (typ) or can be set to other
threshold voltages with two external resistors. The
demo board is configured to detect a threshold
voltage of 2V. The TS12001 also offers both
push-pull and open-drain outputs.

TS12001 Demo Board
Description
The demo board is configured to detect a threshold
voltage of 2V with a voltage divider composed of
resistors R2 and R3 as shown in Figure 2. In addition,
the output driver supply voltage (OVDD) is connected
to VDD via a jumper. A test point is available to set
OVDD to a different supply voltage if desired. To
detect other voltages, resistor values for R2 and R3
can be changed. The design equation is shown below
along with Table 1, which provides R2 and R3
resistor combinations for detecting various VIN
voltages.

The TS12001 also offers both push-pull and opendrain outputs where the open-drain output has a
100kΩ pull-up resistor.
The TS12001 has a latch enable pin (LHDET) that is
labeled as HLDB on revision 1 of the demo board.
LHDET allows the output of the comparator to latch to
a HIGH state under certain conditions. If LHDET is
set HIGH, the COUTPP output will switch based on
the input to the comparator. When LHDET is set LOW
and COUTPP is HIGH, COUTPP will remain HIGH
until LHDET goes LOW. When COUTPP is initially
LOW instead, COUTPP will latch HIGH until a LOWto-HIGH transition occurs on the COUTPP output. In
essence, the LHDET pin offers a LOW-to-HIGH
detection. However, LHDET must not be left open.
The open-drain output, COUTOD, is the inverter
version of the COUTPP output. Connect LHDET to
VDD for normal operation or to GND for LHDET
enable. The LHDET pin is set HIGH on the board.

Table 2. Test Points and Jumper Setting
In order to evaluate the TS12001 voltage detector,
the following steps are to be performed:
1) Before connecting the DC power supply to the
demo board power test point, turn on the power
supply and set the DC voltage to 2.5V and then
turn it off.
2) Connect the positive terminal of a DMM to test
point C-OUT1 and the ground terminal to test
point GND. Make sure the DMM is set to
measure voltage.
3) Connect the positive terminal of the DC power
supply to test point VDD and the ground terminal
to test point GND.
4) Turn on the power supply and check that the
power supply current is approximately 30µA,
which is primarily due to the open-drain pull-up
resistor R1. At this time, the voltage the DMM is
measuring should be approximately 2.5V.
5) Reduce the DC supply voltage slowly and
observe the DMM voltage. When the DC supply
voltage drops to approximately 2V, the DMM
voltage should drop to approximately 0V. This
corresponds to a voltage detection of 2V. The
power supply current is approximately 1.1µA. The
open-drain output voltage (C-OUT2) is the
inverted version of C-OUT1.
