Analog Input

The AMC23C15 has a single input that drives both window comparators. Window comparator 1 has an adjustable threshold and window comparator 2 has a fixed threshold.

The positive comparators trip when the input voltage (VIN) rises above the respective VIT+ threshold that is defined as the reference value plus the internal hysteresis voltage (for example, 64mV for the fixed-threshold comparator). The positive comparators release when VIN drops below the respective VIT– threshold that equals the reference value (for example, 60mV for the fixed-threshold comparator). The negative comparators trip when VIN drops below the respective VIT– threshold that is defined as the negative reference value minus the internal hysteresis voltage (for example, –64mV for the fixed-threshold comparator). The negative comparators release when VIN rises above the respective VIT+ threshold that equals the negative reference value (for example –60mV for the fixed-threshold comparator).

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 AMC23C15 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.
