AMC22C12 Fast Response, Basic Isolated Window Comparator
With Adjustable Threshold and Latch Function
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The AMC22C12 is an isolated window comparator
with a short response time. The open-drain
output is separated from the input circuitry by an
isolation barrier that is highly resistant to magnetic
interference. This barrier is certified to provide
galvanic isolation of up to 3 kVRMS according to DIN
EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) and UL1577, and
supports a working voltage of up to 560 VRMS.
•
2 Applications
Overcurrent or overvoltage detection in:
– Motor drives
– Frequency inverters
– Solar inverters
– DC/DC converters
The open-drain output on the device supports
transparent mode (LATCH input tied to GND2) where
the output follows the input state, or latch mode,
where the output is cleared on the falling edge of the
latch input signal.
The AMC22C12 is available in a 8-pin SOIC
package and is specified over the extended industrial
temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

•
The comparison window is centered around 0 V,
meaning that the comparator trips if the absolute
value of the input voltage exceeds the trip threshold
value. The trip threshold is adjustable from 20 mV
to 300 mV through a single external resistor and,
therefore, the comparison window ranges from
±20 mV to ±300 mV. When the voltage on the REF
pin is greater than 550 mV, the negative comparator
is disabled and only the positive comparator is
functional. The reference voltage in this mode can be
as high as 2.7 V. This mode is particularly useful for
monitoring voltage supplies.

Apply creepage and clearance requirements according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application. Care must be
taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a board design to ensure that the mounting pads of the isolator on the
printed circuit board (PCB) do not reduce this distance. Creepage and clearance on a PCB become equal in certain cases. Techniques
such as inserting grooves, ribs, or both on a PCB are used to help increase these specifications.
This coupler is suitable for safe electrical insulation only within the safety ratings. Compliance with the safety ratings shall be ensured
by means of suitable protective circuits.
Testing is carried out in air to determine the surge immunity of the package.
Testing is carried out in oil to determine the intrinsic surge immunity of the isolation barrier.
Apparent charge is electrical discharge caused by a partial discharge (pd).
All pins on each side of the barrier are tied together, creating a two-pin device.

6.8 Safety Limiting Values
Safety limiting(1) intends to minimize potential damage to the isolation barrier upon failure of input or output circuitry. A failure
of the I/O can allow low resistance to ground or the supply and, without current limiting, dissipate sufficient power to overheat
the die and damage the isolation barrier potentially leading to secondary system failures.

The maximum safety temperature, TS, has the same value as the maximum junction temperature, TJ, specified for the device. The IS
and PS parameters represent the safety current and safety power, respectively. Do not exceed the maximum limits of IS and PS. These
limits vary with the ambient temperature, TA.
The junction-to-air thermal resistance, RθJA, in the Thermal Information table is that of a device installed on a high-K test board for
leaded surface-mount packages. Use these equations to calculate the value for each parameter:
TJ = TA + RθJA × P, where P is the power dissipated in the device.
TJ(max) = TS = TA + RθJA × PS, where TJ(max) is the maximum junction temperature.
PS = IS × AVDDmax + IS × DVDDmax, where AVDDmax is the maximum high-side voltage and DVDDmax is the maximum controller-side
supply voltage.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The AMC22C12 is an isolated window comparator with an open-drain output and optional latch function. The
window comparator is comprised of comparator Cmp0 and Cmp1. Cmp0 compares the input voltage (VIN)
against the positive threshold (VIT+) and Cmp1 compares the input voltage (VIN) against the negative threshold
(VIT–). VIT+ and VIT– are of equal magnitude but opposite signs, therefore the comparison window is centered
around 0 V. The comparison threshold is adjustable from ±20 mV to ±300 mV through an internally generated
100-μA reference current and a single external resistor.
The open-drain output is actively pulled low when the input voltage (VIN) is outside the comparison window.
The behavior when VIN drops back inside the window is determined by the LATCH pin, as described in the
Open-Drain Digital Output section.
When the voltage on the REF pin is greater than VMSEL, the device operates in positive-comparator mode. This
mode is particularly useful for monitoring positive voltages. The negative comparator (Cmp1) is disabled and
only the positive comparator (Cmp0) is functional. The reference voltage in this mode can be as high as 2.7 V.
Galvanic isolation between the high- and low-voltage side of the device is achieved by transmitting the
comparator states across a SiO2-based, capacitive isolation barrier. This isolation barrier supports a high level
of magnetic field immunity, as described in the ISO72x Digital Isolator Magnetic-Field Immunity application note.
The digital modulation scheme used in the AMC22C12 to transmit data across the isolation barrier, and the
isolation barrier characteristics, result in high reliability and common-mode transient immunity.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Analog Input
The positive comparator trips when the input voltage (VIN) rises above the VIT+ threshold that is defined as the
reference value plus the internal hysteresis voltage. The positive comparator releases when VIN drops below the
VIT– threshold that equals the reference value. The negative comparator trips when VIN drops below the VIT–
threshold that is defined as the negative reference value minus the internal hysteresis voltage. The negative
comparator releases when VIN rises above the VIT+ threshold that equals the negative reference value.
The difference between VIT+ and VIT– is referred to as the comparator hysteresis and is 4 mV for reference
voltages below 450 mV. The integrated hysteresis makes the AMC22C12 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 25 mV for reference values (VREF) greater than 600 mV. See
the Reference Input description for more details.
Figure 7-1 shows a timing diagram of the relationship between hysteresis and switching thresholds.

7.3.2 Reference Input
The voltage on the REF pin determines the trip threshold of the window comparator. The internal precision
current source forces a 100-μA current through an external resistor connected from the REF pin to GND1. The
resulting voltage across the resistor (VREF) equals the magnitude of the positive and negative trip thresholds,
see Figure 7-1. Place a 100-nF capacitor parallel to the resistor to filter the reference voltage. This capacitor
must be charged by the 100-μA current source during power-up and the charging time may exceed the high-side
blanking time (tHS,BLK). In this case, as shown in Figure 7-2, the comparator may output an incorrect state after
the high-side blanking time has expired until VREF reaches the final value. See the Power-Up and Power-Down
Behavior section for more details on power-up behavior.

7.3.6 VDD1 Brownout and Power-Loss Behavior
Brownout is a condition where the VDD1 supply droops below the specified operating voltage range but the
device remains functional. Power-loss is a condition where the VDD1 supply drops below a level where the
device stops being functional. Depending on the duration and the voltage level, a brownout condition may or
may not be noticeable at the output of the device. A power-loss condition is always signaled on the output of the
isolated comparator.
Figure 7-11 through Figure 7-13 show typical brownout and power-loss scenarios.
In Figure 7-11, VDD1 droops below the undervoltage detection threshold (VDD1UV) but recovers before the
high-side-fault detection delay time (tHS,FLT) expires. The brownout event has no effect on the comparator output.
In Figure 7-12, VDD1 droops below the undervoltage detection threshold (VDD1UV) for more than the high-sidefault detection delay time (tHS,FLT). The brownout condition is detected as a fault and the output is pulled low
after a delay equal to tHS,FLT. The device resumes normal operation as soon as VDD1 recovers above the
VDD1UV threshold.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The AMC22C12 is operational when the power supplies VDD1 and VDD2 are applied, as specified in the
Recommended Operating Conditions table.
Both comparators on the high-side function together as one window comparator when the voltage on the REF
pin is below the VMSEL threshold. If the voltage on the REF pin exceeds the VMSEL threshold, the negative
comparator (Cmp0) is disabled and Cmp1 functions as a single positive comparator with increased hysteresis,
as described in the Reference Input section.
The device has two output operating modes that are selected based on the LATCH input pin setting: transparent
mode and latch mode. These modes affect how the OUT pin responds to the changing input signal conditions.
See the Open-Drain Digital Output section for details.

8 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
With the device low response time, high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), and basic-certified isolation
barrier, the AMC22C12 is designed to provide fast and reliable overcurrent and overvoltage detection for highvoltage applications in harsh and noisy environments.
8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Overcurrent Detection
Fast overcurrent detection is a common requirement in DC/DC converter and motor-control applications, and
can be implemented with an AMC22C12 isolated window comparator as shown in Figure 8-1.

Figure 8-1. Using the AMC22C12 for Overcurrent Detection
The load current flowing through an external shunt resistor RSHUNT produces a voltage drop that is sensed
by the AMC1200 for control purposes. The same voltage is monitored by the AMC22C12 that is connected in
parallel to the current-sensing amplifier and provides a fast sensing path for positive and negative fault-current
detection. The overcurrent detection threshold is set by the external resistor R1 and the overcurrent event is
signaled on the open-drain output OUT.
As depicted in Figure 8-1, the integrated low-dropout (LDO) regulator on the high-side allows direct connection
of the VDD1 input to a commonly used floating gate-driver supply. Alternatively, the AMC22C12 can share a
regulated supply with the AMC1200. In that case, the VDD1 pin of the AMC22C12 connects directly to the VDD1
pin of the AMC1200 and R4 is not needed. The fast response time and high common-mode transient immunity
(CMTI) of the AMC22C12 ensure reliable and accurate operation even in high-noise environments.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The value of the shunt resistor in this example is 10 mΩ, determined by the linear input voltage range of the
AMC1200 current-sensing amplifier (±250 mV) and the full-scale current of ±25 A.
At the desired 20-A overcurrent detection level, the voltage drop across the shunt resistor is 10 mΩ × 20 A =
200 mV. The positive-going trip threshold of the window comparator is VREF + VHYS, where VHYS is 4 mV as
specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and VREF is the voltage across R1 that is connected between
the REF and GND1 pins. R1 is calculated as (VTRIP – VHYS) / IREF = (200 mV – 4 mV) / 100 μA = 1.96 kΩ and
matches a value from the E96 series (1% accuracy).
A 10-Ω, 1-nF RC filter (R5, C6) is placed at the input of the comparator to filter the input signal and reduce
noise sensitivity. This filter adds 10 Ω × 1 nF = 10 ns of propagation delay that must be considered when
calculating the overall response time of the protection circuit. Larger filter constants are preferable to increase
noise immunity if the system can tolerate the additional delay.
Table 8-2 summarizes the key parameters of the design.

8.2.2 Overvoltage Detection
Industrial motor drive systems commonly deploy an active or passive rectifier stage to generate a high-voltage,
DC link potential from a single- or three-phase AC line input. The DC link voltage is sensed by an isolated
amplifier such as the AMC1311B for control purposes. Power stages connected to the DC link rail may be
sensitive to overvoltage conditions that can occur (for example, during a braking operation). The isolated
amplifier may not be able to alert the system controller fast enough to take appropriate action to reduce the DC
link voltage (for example, by turning on the break resistor) in case of an overvoltage condition. Therefore, a fast,
isolated comparator is required to detect overvoltage conditions.
Figure 8-2 shows an active rectifier stage where the DC link voltage is sensed by an AMC1311B isolated
amplifier. The AMC22C12 is connected parallel to the AMC1311B and monitors the voltage across RSNS for
overvoltage conditions. The overvoltage trip-threshold is set by the R1 resistor connected to the REF pin of the
AMC22C12. The open-drain OUT pin of the AMC22C12 is connected to a GPIO or interrupt pin of the MCU and
is actively pulled low whenever the input voltage (VIN) exceeds the reference voltage (VREF).

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The voltage divider consisting of R1, R2, and RSNS is sized such that the voltage drop across RSNS equals the
linear full-scale input voltage (2 V) of the AMC1311B at the maximum DC-link voltage that is of interest for linear
sensing (450 V). Therefore, the voltage drop across RSNS at the overvoltage condition is 480 V / 450 V × 2 V =
2.133 V. This value is the target value for the reference voltage (VREF) of the AMC22C12.
VREF is determined by the external resistor R1 and the internal 100-μA current source of the AMC22C12. R1 is
calculated as (VTRIP – VHYS) / IREF = (2133 mV – 25 mV) / 100 μA = 21.08 kΩ. The closest value in the E192
series is 21.0 kΩ. The comparator hysteresis voltage (VHYS) is subtracted from VTRIP because the comparator
trips at VREF + VHYS, see Figure 7-1. The hysteresis value is 25 mV because the reference voltage is greater
than 550 mV, as explained in the Reference Input section.
Table 8-4 summarizes the key parameters of the design.

8.2.3 Application Curves
Figure 8-3 shows the typical response of the AMC22C12 to a bipolar, triangular input waveform with an
amplitude of 720 mVPP. The output (OUT) switches when VIN crosses the ±250-mV level determined by the
REF pin voltage that is biased to 250 mV in this example.
Figure 8-3. Output Response of the AMC22C12 to a Triangular Input Waveform
The integrated LDO of the AMC22C12 greatly relaxes the power-supply requirements on the high-voltage side
and allows powering the device from non-regulated transformer, charge pump, and bootstrap supplies. As given
by the following images, the internal LDO provides a stable operating voltage to the internal circuitry, allowing the
trip thresholds to remain mostly undisturbed even at ripple voltages of 2 VPP and higher.

8.3 Best Design Practices
Keep the connection between the low-side of the sense resistor and the GND1 pin of the AMC22C12 short
and low impedance. Any voltage drop in the ground line adds error to the voltage sensed at the input of the
comparator and leads to inaccuracies in the trip thresholds.
For best common-mode transient immunity, place the filter capacitor C5 as closely to the REF pin as possible
as illustrated in Figure 8-7. Use a low value pullup resistor (5.5 V) place a 10-Ω resistor (R4) is series with the VDD1 power supply for
additional filtering.

Figure 8-6. Decoupling of the AMC22C12
Capacitors must provide adequate effective capacitance under the applicable DC bias conditions they
experience in the application. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) typically exhibit only a fraction of their
nominal capacitance under real-world conditions and this factor must be taken into consideration when selecting
these capacitors. This problem is especially acute in low-profile capacitors, in which the dielectric field strength is
higher than in taller components. Reputable capacitor manufacturers provide capacitance versus DC bias curves
that greatly simplify component selection.
