Applications

These dual comparators feature high gain, wide bandwidth characteristics. This gives the device oscillation tendencies if the outputs are capacitively coupled to the inputs via stray capacitance. This oscillation manifests itself during output transitions (V OL to V OH ). To alleviate this situation, input resistors <10 k W should be used.

D1 prevents input from going negative by more than 0.6 V.

The addition of positive feedback (<10 mV) is also recommended. It is good design practice to ground all unused pins.

Differential input voltages may be larger than supply voltage without damaging the comparator's inputs. V oltages more negative than -0.3 V should not be used.

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

  1. The maximum output current may be as high as 20 mA, independent of the magnitude of V CC , output short circuits to V CC can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction.

  2. NCV2903 is qualified for automotive use.
