MAX9075/MAX9077Low-Cost, Ultra-Small, 3µASingle-Supply Comparators 4) Choose the threshold voltage for VIN rising (VTHR). In this example, choose VTHR = 3V. VCC 5) Calculate R2 as follows: R3 R2 = 1/{[VTHR/(VREF R1)] - 1/R1 - 1/R3} = R1 1/{[3 / (1.2 100kΩ)] - 1/100kΩ - 1/10MΩ} = 67.114kΩ VIN A 1% preferred value is 64.9kΩ. VCC OUT R2 6) Verify the threshold voltages with these formulas: GND V MAX9075 IN rising: VREF MAX9077 VTHR = VREF R1 (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3) VIN falling: VTHF = VTHR - (R1 VCC)/R3 Figure 1. Adding Hysteresis 7) Check the error due to input bias current (5nA). If the error is too large, reduce R3 and recalculate. Pin Configurations (continued) VTH = IB (R1 R2 R3)/(R1 + R2 + R3) = 0.2mV Board Layout and Bypassing TOP VIEW Use 10nF power-supply bypass capacitors. Use 100nF bypass capacitors when supply impedance is high, when supply leads are long, or when excessive noise is + expected on the supply lines. Minimize signal trace OUTA 1 8 VCC lengths to reduce stray capacitance. Minimize the GND 2 MAX9077 7 OUTB capacitive coupling between IN- and OUT. For slow- moving input signals (rise time > 1ms) use a 1nF INA- 3 6 INB- capacitor between IN+ and IN-.
