980600403 – LMV7231 Evaluation Board User Guide
This evaluation board contains the LMV7231 Hex Window Comparator and
allows for evaluation of the device.
Connectors, Jumpers, Test Points
Power Supply
There are two test points labeled V+, and GND to power the evaluation board. A
single supply per the LMV7231 Datasheet Operating Ratings can be used.
Signal Connectors
There are three connectors for signals.
J1 is a 2x7 100mil Header for the monitored voltage signals.
J2 is a 2x14 100mil Header for the input signals.
J3 is a 2x7 100mil Header for the output signals.
Jumpers
The demo board has 3 jumpers.
J4 connects the AOSEL pin of the LMV7231 to either VPU or GND. Default
AOSEL connected to GND.
J5 connects the COPOL pin of the LMV7231 to either VPU or GND. Default
COPOL connected to GND.
A 3rd jumper can be used at J1 to connect V+ to VPU. Default V+ connected to
VPU.
Using the board
Power Supply Setup
Connect a single supply per the Datasheet Operating Ratings to the V+ and GND
test points.
Monitored Voltage Signals
The monitored voltage signals (VIN1, VIN2, VIN3, VIN4, VIN5, VIN6) are
connected to the board using jumper J1.
Input Signals, AOSEL, and COPOL
Access directly to the LMV7231 window comparator inputs (+IN1, -IN1, +IN2, IN2, etc.) and AOSEL and COPOL are available at jumper J2.

Output Signals
The comparator output signals (CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4, CO5, CO6, AO) are
taken from jumper J3.
3 Resistor Voltage Divider
No 3 resistor voltage divider (R7, R8, R9) is populated on Channel 1 to allow
customer the flexibility to select resistors in order set their own voltage detection
window. See the 3 RESISTOR VOLTAGE DIVIDER SELECTION section of the
LMV7231 datasheet for proper resistor selection. Remaining channels have their
3 resistor voltage dividers populated to detect the windows in the table below and
are optimized for a signal rising into and out of the voltage detection window.

Output Pull-up Resistors and Capacitive Loads
Output pull-up resistors (R19, R20, R21, R22, R23, R24, R25) and capacitive
load (C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8) can be adjusted to meet customer evaluation
requirements. By default pull-up resistors are 10 kΩ and capacitive load is
unpopulated.
VPU
VPU is the output pull-up resistor voltage and can be pulled up to any voltage
within the Abs Max ratings of the LMV7231. By default VPU is set to V+ with a
jumper at J1.
AOSEL
The state of AOSEL pin determines whether the AO pin is active on an overvoltage or under-voltage event. When tied LOW the AO output will be active
upon an over-voltage event. By default AOSEL is set LOW with jumper J4
shorting AOSEL to GND.
COPOL
The state of the COPOL pin determines whether the CO1-CO6 pins are active
“HIGH” or “LOW”. When tied LOW the CO1-CO6 outputs will go LOW to indicate
an out of window comparison. By default COPOL is set LOW with jumper J5
shorting COPOL to GND.

AO and Optional AO LED
The AO output is the ANDED combination of either the overvoltage comparator
outputs or the under-voltage comparator outputs and is controlled by the state of
the AOSEL. AO pin is active “LOW”. Footprint for an optional AO LED, D1, and
current limiting resistor, R26, have been included on the board to allow a user to
visually indicate an out of window event. See BOM for recommended
components.
