SBASAB2B February 2022 – December 2024 AMC23C12
PRODUCTION DATA
The positive comparator trips when the input voltage (VIN) rises above the VIT+ threshold that is defined as the reference value plus the internal hysteresis voltage. The positive comparator releases when VIN drops below the VIT– threshold that equals the reference value. The negative comparator trips when VIN drops below the VIT– threshold that is defined as the negative reference value minus the internal hysteresis voltage. The negative comparator releases when VIN rises above the VIT+ threshold that equals the negative reference value.
The difference between VIT+ and VIT– is referred to as the comparator hysteresis and is 4mV for reference voltages below 450mV. The integrated hysteresis makes the AMC23C12 less sensitive to input noise and provides stable operation in noisy environments without having to add external positive feedback to create hysteresis. The hysteresis of Cmp0 increases to 25mV for reference values (VREF) greater than 600mV. See the Reference Input description for more details.
Figure 6-1 shows a timing diagram of the relationship between hysteresis and switching thresholds.
