Windowed Comparators
Multi-vibrators
These comparators are optimized for low-power,
single-supply operation with greater than rail-to-rail
input operation. The push-pull output of the MCP6541/
1R/1U/2/3/4 family supports rail-to-rail output swing
and interfaces with TTL/CMOS logic. The internal input
hysteresis eliminates output switching due to internal
input noise voltage, reducing current draw. The output
limits supply current surges and dynamic power
consumption while switching. This product family
operates with a single-supply voltage as low as 1.6V
and draws less than 1 µA/comparator of quiescent
current.
The related MCP6546/7/8/9 family of comparators from
Microchip has an open-drain output. Used with a pullup resistor, these devices can be used as level-shifters
for any desired voltage up to 10V and in wired-OR
logic.
* SC-70-5 E-Temp parts not available at this release of
the data sheet.
MCP6541U SOT-23-5 is E-Temp only.

Analog Inputs
The comparator non-inverting and inverting inputs are
high-impedance CMOS inputs with low bias currents.
3.2
CS Digital Input
This is a CMOS, Schmitt-triggered input that places the
part into a low-power mode of operation.
3.3
Digital Outputs
The comparator outputs are CMOS, push-pull digital
outputs. They are designed to be compatible with
CMOS and TTL logic and are capable of driving heavy
DC or capacitive loads.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.4
Power Supply (VSS and VDD)
The positive power supply pin (VDD) is 1.6V to 5.5V
higher than the negative power supply pin (VSS). For
normal operation, the other pins are at voltages
between VSS and VDD.
Typically, these parts are used in a single (positive)
supply configuration. In this case, VSS is connected to
ground and VDD is connected to the supply. VDD will
need a local bypass capacitor (typically 0.01 µF to
0.1 µF) within 2 mm of the VDD pin. These can share a
bulk capacitor with nearby analog parts (within
100 mm), but it is not required.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The MCP6541/1R/1U/2/3/4 family of push-pull output
comparators are fabricated on Microchip’s state-of-theart CMOS process. They are suitable for a wide range
of applications requiring very low-power consumption.

INPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT
LIMITS
The ESD protection on the inputs can be depicted as
shown in Figure 4-1. This structure was chosen to
protect the input transistors, and to minimize input bias
current (IB). The input ESD diodes clamp the inputs
when they try to go more than one diode drop below
VSS. They also clamp any voltages that go too far
above VDD; their breakdown voltage is high enough to
allow normal operation, and low enough to bypass ESD
events within the specified limits.

Simplified Analog Input ESD
In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation
of these amplifiers, the circuits they are in must limit the
currents (and voltages) at the VIN+ and VIN– pins (see
Absolute Maximum Ratings † at the beginning of
Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics”). Figure 4-3
shows the recommended approach to protecting these
inputs. The internal ESD diodes prevent the input pins
(VIN+ and VIN–) from going too far below ground, and
the resistors R1 and R2 limit the possible current drawn
out of the input pin. Diodes D1 and D2 prevent the input
pin (VIN+ and VIN–) from going too far above VDD.
When implemented as shown, resistors R1 and R2 also
limit the current through D1 and D2.

Protecting the Analog
It is also possible to connect the diodes to the left of the
resistors R1 and R2. In this case, the currents through
the diodes D1 and D2 need to be limited by some other
mechanism. The resistor then serves as in-rush current
limiter; the DC current into the input pins (VIN+ and
VIN–) should be very small.
A significant amount of current can flow out of the
inputs when the common mode voltage (VCM) is below
ground (VSS); see Figure 2-37. Applications that are
high-impedance may need to limit the usable voltage
range.

PHASE REVERSAL
The MCP6541/1R/1U/2/3/4 comparator family uses
CMOS transistors at the input. They are designed to
prevent phase inversion when the input pins exceed
the supply voltages. Figure 2-3 shows an input voltage
exceeding both supplies with no resulting phase
inversion.

NORMAL OPERATION
The input stage of this family of devices uses two
differential input stages in parallel: one operates at low
input voltages and the other at high input voltages. With
this topology, the input voltage is 0.3V above VDD and
0.3V below VSS. Therefore, the input offset voltage is
measured at both VSS - 0.3V and VDD + 0.3V to ensure
proper operation.
The MCP6541/1R/1U/2/3/4 family has internally-set
hysteresis that is small enough to maintain input offset
accuracy (<7 mV) and large enough to eliminate output
chattering caused by the comparator’s own input noise
voltage (200 µVp-p). Figure 4-3 depicts this behavior.

4.2
Push-Pull Output
Externally Set Hysteresis
Greater flexibility in selecting hysteresis (or input trip
points) is achieved by using external resistors.
Input offset voltage (VOS) is the center (average) of the
(input-referred) low-high and high-low trip points. Input
hysteresis voltage (VHYST) is the difference between
the same trip points. Hysteresis reduces output
chattering when one input is slowly moving past the
other and thus reduces dynamic supply current. It also
helps in systems where it is best not to cycle between
states too frequently (e.g., air conditioner thermostatic
control).
4.4.1
Figure 4-4 shows a non-inverting circuit for singlesupply applications using just two resistors. The
resulting hysteresis diagram is shown in Figure 4-5.
The push-pull output is designed to be compatible with
CMOS and TTL logic, while the output transistors are
configured to give rail-to-rail output performance. They
are driven with circuitry that minimizes any switching
current (shoot-through current from supply-to-supply)
when the output is transitioned from high-to-low, or from
low-to-high (see Figures 2-15, 2-18, 2-32 through 2-36
for more information).
4.3
MCP6543 Chip Select (CS)
The MCP6543 is a single comparator with Chip Select
(CS). When CS is pulled high, the total current
consumption drops to 20 pA (typ.); 1 pA (typ.) flows
through the CS pin, 1 pA (typ.) flows through the output pin and 18 pA (typ.) flows through the VDD pin, as
shown in Figure 1-1. When this happens, the
comparator output is put into a high-impedance state.
By pulling CS low, the comparator is enabled. If the CS
pin is left floating, the comparator will not operate
properly. Figure 1-1 shows the output voltage and
supply current response to a CS pulse.
The internal CS circuitry is designed to minimize
glitches when cycling the CS pin. This helps conserve
power, which is especially important in battery-powered
applications.

Capacitive Loads
Reasonable capacitive loads (e.g., logic gates) have
little impact on propagation delay (see Figure 2-31).
The supply current increases with increasing toggle
frequency (Figure 2-19), especially with higher
capacitive loads.
4.7
-
R23
With this family of comparators, the power supply pin
(VDD for single supply) should have a local bypass
capacitor (i.e., 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm for good
edge rate performance.
4.6
In order to determine the trip voltages (VTHL and VTLH)
for the circuit shown in Figure 4-6, R2 and R3 can be
simplified to the Thevenin equivalent circuit with
respect to VDD, as shown in Figure 4-8.
Bypass Capacitors
Battery Life
In order to maximize battery life in portable
applications, use large resistors and small capacitive
loads. Avoid toggling the output more than necessary.
Do not use Chip Select (CS) frequently to conserve
start-up power. Capacitive loads will draw additional
power at start-up.

PCB Surface Leakage
4.9
Unused Comparators
In applications where low input bias current is critical,
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) surface leakage effects
need to be considered. Surface leakage is caused by
humidity, dust or other contamination on the board.
Under low humidity conditions, a typical resistance
between nearby traces is 1012. A 5V difference would
cause 5 pA of current to flow. This is greater than the
MCP6541/1R/1U/2/3/4 family’s bias current at 25°C
(1 pA, typ.).
An unused amplifier in a quad package (MCP6544)
should be configured as shown in Figure 4-10. This
circuit prevents the output from toggling and causing
crosstalk. It uses the minimum number of components
and draws minimal current (see Figure 2-15 and
Figure 2-18).
The easiest way to reduce surface leakage is to use a
guard ring around sensitive pins (or traces). The guard
ring is biased at the same voltage as the sensitive pin.
An example of this type of layout is shown in
Figure 4-9.

Inverting Configuration (Figures 4-6 and 4-9):
a. Connect the guard ring to the non-inverting
input pin (VIN+). This biases the guard ring
to the same reference voltage as the
comparator (e.g., VDD/2 or ground).
b. Connect the inverting pin (VIN–) to the input
pad without touching the guard ring.
Non-inverting Configuration (Figure 4-4):

Typical Applications
PRECISE COMPARATOR
Some applications require higher DC precision. An
easy way to solve this problem is to use an amplifier
(such as the MCP6041) to gain-up the input signal
before it reaches the comparator. Figure 4-11 shows an
example of this approach.
BISTABLE MULTI-VIBRATOR
A simple bistable multi-vibrator design is shown in
Figure 4-13. VREF needs to be between the power
supplies (VSS = GND and VDD) to achieve oscillation.
The output duty cycle changes with VREF.

 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
