The TLV192x has an input voltgae range of -0.2V to 65V and a common mode (switching threshold) range of -0.2V to (V+) - 2V. The common mode voltage (referred to as the switching threshold) is the point where the comparator transistions from one output state to the other.
The TLV192x has a "feature" where if one of the input pins remains within the common mode voltage range (-0.2V to (V+) - 2V), and the supply voltage is valid and not in POR, the output state is correct.
The following is a summary of input voltage range conditions and the outcomes:
- When both IN- and IN+ are within the common mode voltage range:
- If IN- is greater than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is low.
- If IN- is less than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is high.
- If IN- is equal to IN+, the output state is technically indeterminite and output state is determined by the random polarity of the internal offset votlage.
- When IN- is higher than the common mode voltage range and IN+ is within the common mode voltage range, the output is low.
- When IN+ is higher than the common mode voltage range and IN- is within the specified input voltage range, the output is high
- When IN- and IN+ are both outside the common mode voltage range, the output is low, regardless of which input is greater.
Operating outside the common mode range causes changes in specifications such as propagation delay and input bias current. Likewise, there is a recovery time when re-entering the common mode voltage range.
