SNOSDG9 December 2024 TLV1922
PRODMIX
The TLV192x features a open-drain (also commonly called open collector) sinking-only output stage enabling the output logic levels to be pulled-up to an external voltage from 0 V up to 65V, independent of the comparator supply voltage (V+). The open-drain output also allows logical OR'ing of multiple open drain outputs and logic level translation. TI recommends setting the pull-up resistor current to less than 100 uA to optimize VOL logic levels. Lower pull-up resistor values help increase the risetime, but at the expense of increasing VOL and higher power dissipation. The risetime is dependent on the time constant of the total pull-up resistance and total load capacitance. Large value pull-up resistors (>1 MΩ) create an exponential rising edge due to the output RC time constant and increase the risetime.
Directly shorting the output to the pull-up voltage results in thermal runaway and eventual device destruction at high (>65V) pull-up voltages. If output shorts are possible, a series current limitng resistor is recommended to limit the power dissipation. Shorting the output to V+ can eventually destroy the device.
Unused open drain outputs can be left floating, or tied to the GND pin if floating pins are not desired.
The open-drain output ESD protection consists of a snapback ESD clamp between the output and GND.
