SNOS977F – MAY 2001 – REVISED MAY 2016
LM397 Single General-Purpose Voltage Comparator
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LM397 device is a single voltage comparator
with an input common mode that includes ground.
The LM397 is designed to operate from a single 5-V
to 30-V power supply or a split power supply. Its low
supply current is virtually independent of the
magnitude of the supply voltage.

5-Pin SOT-23 Package
Industrial Operating Range −40°C to +85°C
Single or Dual Power Supplies
Wide Supply Voltage Range 5 V to 30 V

The LM397 features an open-collector output stage.
This allows the connection of an external resistor at
the output. The output can directly interface with TTL,
CMOS and other logic levels, by tying the resistor to
different voltage levels (level translator).
The LM397 is available in the space-saving 5-Pin
SOT-23 package and is pin-compatible to TI’s TL331,
a single differential comparator.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
A comparator is often used to convert an analog signal to a digital signal. The comparator compares an input
voltage (VIN) at the noninverting pin to the reference voltage (VREF) at the inverting pin. If VIN is less than VREF
the output (VO) is low (VOL). However, if VIN is greater than VREF, the output voltage (VO) is high (VOH). Refer to
Figure 6.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Input Stage
The LM397 has a bipolar input stage. The input common-mode voltage range is from 0 to (VS – 1.5 V).
7.3.2 Output Stage
The LM397 has an open-collector grounded-emitter NPN output transistor for the output stage. This requires an
external pullup resistor connected between the positive supply voltage and the output. The external pullup
resistor should be high enough resistance so to avoid excessive power dissipation. In addition, the pullup resistor
should be low enough resistance to enable the comparator to switch with the load circuitry connected. Because it
is an open-collector output stage, several comparator outputs can be connected together to create an OR’ing
function output. With an open collector, the output can be used as a simple SPST switch to ground. The amount
of current which the output can sink is approximately 10 mA. When the maximum current limit is reached, the
output transistor will saturate and the output will rise rapidly (Figure 7).

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Hysteresis
The basic comparator configuration may oscillate or produce a noisy output if the applied differential input is near
the input offset voltage of the comparator. This tends to occur when the voltage on the input is equal or very
close to the other input voltage. Adding hysteresis can prevent this problem. Hysteresis creates two switching
thresholds (one for the rising input voltage and the other for the falling input voltage). Hysteresis is the voltage
difference between the two switching thresholds. When both inputs are nearly equal, hysteresis causes one input
to effectively move quickly pass the other. Thus, effectively moving the input out of region that oscillation may
occur.
For an inverting configured comparator, hysteresis can be added with a three resistor network and positive
feedback. When input voltage (VIN) at the inverting node is less than non-inverting node (VT), the output is high.
The equivalent circuit for the three resistor network is R1 in parallel with R3 and in series with R2. The lower
threshold voltage VT1 is calculated by Equation 1:
VT1 = ((VS R2) / (((R1 R3) / (R1 + R3)) + R2))
(1)
When VIN is greater than VT, the output voltage is low. The equivalent circuit for the three resistor network is R2
in parallel with R3 and in series with R1. The upper threshold voltage VT2 is calculated by Equation 2:
VT2 = VS ((R2 R3) / (R2 + R3)) / (R1 + ((R2 R3) / (R2 + R3)))
(2)
The hysteresis is defined in Equation 3:
ΔVIN = VT1 – VT2

8.2.2.1 Input Voltage Range
When choosing the input voltage range, the input common mode voltage range (VCM) must be taken in to
account. If temperature operation is above or below 25°C the VCM can range from 0 V to VS – 1.5 V. This limits
the input voltage range to as high as VS – 1.5 V and as low as 0 V. Operation outside of this range can yield
incorrect comparisons.
Below is a list of input voltage situation and their outcomes:
1. When both IN– and IN+ are both within the common mode range:
(a) If IN– is higher than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is low and the output transistor is sinking
current
(b) If IN– is lower than IN+ and the offset voltage, the output is high impedance and the output transistor is
not conducting
2. When IN– is higher than common mode and IN+ is within common mode, the output is low and the output
transistor is sinking current
3. When IN+ is higher than common mode and IN– is within common mode, the output is high impedance and
the output transistor is not conducting
4. When IN– and IN+ are both higher than common mode, the output is low and the output transistor is sinking
current
8.2.2.2 Minimum Overdrive Voltage
Overdrive Voltage is the differential voltage produced between the positive and negative inputs of the comparator
over the offset voltage. To make an accurate comparison; the overdrive voltage should be higher than the input
offset voltage. Overdrive voltage can also determine the response time of the comparator, with the response time
decreasing with increasing overdrive.
8.2.2.3 Output and Drive Current
Output current is determined by the pullup resistance (RPULLUP) and VS voltage. The output current will produce a
output low voltage (VOL) from the comparator. In which VOL is proportional to the output current. Use Figure 3 to
determine VOL based on the output current. The output current can also effect the transient response.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
Place 0.1-μF bypass capacitors close to the power-supply pins to reduce errors coupling in from noisy or high
impedance power supplies. For more detailed information on bypass capacitor placement; see the Layout
Guidelines section.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Comparators are very sensitive to input noise. For best results, maintain the following layout guidelines:
• Use a printed-circuit-board (PCB) with a good, unbroken low-inductance ground plane. Proper grounding (use
of ground plane) helps maintain specified performance of the LM397.
• To minimize supply noise, place a decoupling capacitor (0.1-μF ceramic, surface-mount capacitor) as close
as possible to VS as shown in Figure 12.
• On the inputs and the output, keep lead lengths as short as possible to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback
around the comparator. Keep inputs away from the output.
• Solder the device directly to the PCB rather than using a socket.
• For slow-moving input signals, take care to prevent parasitic feedback. A small capacitor (1000 pF or less)
placed between the inputs can help eliminate oscillations in the transition region. This capacitor causes some
degradation to propagation delay when the impedance is low. Run the top-side ground plane between the
output and inputs.
• Run the ground pin ground trace under the device up to the bypass capacitor, shielding the inputs from the
outputs.
