SCPS304 September 2024 TPLD1201-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
There are two analog comparator (ACMP) macro-cells in the TPLD1201-Q1. The analog comparator compares two voltages (IN+ and IN-) and outputs a digital signal (OUT) indicating which input is larger, a High signal for IN+ and a Low for IN-.
For the ACMP macro-cell to operate, the power up signal (PWR UP) needs to be asserted high. By connecting to signals coming from the connection mux, it is possible to have each ACMP always on, always off, or switched on dynamically based on a digital signal coming from the connection mux. When powered down, the ACMP will output a low signal.
Each of the ACMP cells has a positive input signal that can be provided by a variety of external sources with a selectable gain stage before going into the analog comparator. ACMP1 also has a 100 µA pullup current source option for external sensor excitation purposes. The negative input signal is either created from an internal VREF or from an external source.

VCC | ACMP0 IN+ | |

VCC/3 | VCC/3 | |

VREF Analog Input (shared with IO2) | VREF Analog Input (shared with IO2) |
IN+ gain: Each of the ACMP cells has a positive input signal that can be provided by a variety of external sources, and can also have a selectable gain stage (1X, 0.5X, 0.33X, 0.25X) before connection to the analog comparator.
IN- voltage range: 50mV to 1.2V through the internal VREF, VCC/3, VCC/4, or external source.
Hysteresis: Each ACMP has four selectable hysteresis options 0mV, 25mV, 50mV and 200mV. The hysteresis is selectable if the internal VREF macro-cell or an external VREF input is used.
Low bandwidth: The ACMP cell has a selection for the bandwidth of the input signal, which can be used to save power and reduce noise impact when lower bandwidth signals are being compared.
If VCC/3 and VCC/4 are not used at ACMP negative input, they can be disabled to reduce power consumption.
