PRODUCTION DATA
This noninverting comparator circuit applies the input voltage (VIN) to the noninverting terminal of the op amp. Two resistors (R1 and R2) divide the supply voltage (V+) to create a mid-supply threshold voltage (VTH) as calculated in Equation 1. The circuit is shown in Figure 8-1. When VIN is less then VTH, the output voltage transitions to the negative supply and equals the low-level output voltage. When VIN is greater than VTH, the output voltage transitions to the positive supply and equals the high-level output voltage.
In this example, resistor 1 and 2 have been selected to be 100 kΩ, which sets the reference threshold at 20 V. However, resistor 1 and 2 can be adjusted to modify the threshold using Equation 1. Resistor 1 and 2's values have also been selected to reduce power consumption, but these values can be further increased to reduce power consumption, or reduced to improve noise performance.
