Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Applies to both single-supply and split-supply operation. Continuous short circuit operation at elevated ambient temperature can result in
exceeding the maximum allowed junction temperature of 150°C. Output currents in excess of ±30mA over long term may adversely
affect reliability.
Limiting input pin current is only necessary for input voltages that exceed absolute maximum input voltage ratings.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMV7239-Q1 is an ultra low power, low voltage, 75-ns comparator. They are ensured to operate over the full
supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. These devices achieve a 75-ns propagation delay while consuming only
65 µA of supply current at 5 V.
The LMV7239-Q1 has a greater than rail-to-rail common-mode voltage range. The input common-mode voltage
range extends 200 mV below ground and 200 mV above supply, allowing both ground and supply sensing.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
Figure 16. Simplified Schematic
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Input Stage
The LMV7239-Q1 is a rail-to-rail input and output. The typical input common-mode voltage range of −0.2 V below
the ground to 0.2 V above the supply. The LMV7239-Q1 uses a complimentary PNP and NPN input stage in
which the PNP stage senses common-mode voltage near V− and the NPN stage senses common-mode voltage
near V+. If either of the input signals falls below the negative common mode limit, the parasitic PN junction
formed by the substrate and the base of the PNP will turn on resulting in an increase of input bias current.
If one of the inputs goes above the positive common mode limit, the output will still maintain the correct logic
level as long as the other input stays within the common mode range. However, the propagation delay will
increase. When both inputs are outside the common-mode voltage range, current saturation occurs in the input
stage, and the output becomes unpredictable.
The propagation delay does not increase significantly with large differential input voltages. However, large
differential voltages greater than the supply voltage should be avoided to prevent damage to the input stage.
7.3.2 Output Stage: LMV7239-Q1
The LMV7239-Q1 has a push-pull output. When the output switches, there is a low resistance path between VCC
and ground, causing high output sinking or sourcing current during the transition.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Capacitive and Resistive Loads
The propagation delay is not affected by capacitive loads at the output of the LPV7239 or LMV7239-Q1.
However, resistive loads slightly effect the propagation delay on the falling edge depending on the load
resistance value.
7.4.2 Noise
Most comparators have rather low gain. This allows the output to spend time between high and low when the
input signal changes slowly. The result is the output may oscillate between high and low when the differential
input is near zero. The high gain of this comparator eliminates this problem. Less than 1 μV of change on the
input will drive the output from one rail to the other rail. If the input signal is noisy, the output cannot ignore the
noise unless some hysteresis is provided by positive feedback. (See Hysteresis.)
7.4.3 Hysteresis
To improve propagation delay when low overdrive is needed hysteresis can be added.
7.4.3.1 Inverting Comparator With Hysteresis
The inverting comparator with hysteresis requires a three resistor network that is referenced to the supply voltage
V+ of the comparator as shown in Figure 18. When VIN at the inverting input is less than VA, the voltage at the
noninverting node of the comparator (VIN < VA), the output voltage is high (for simplicity assume VO switches as
high as V+). The three network resistors can be represented as R1//R3 in series with R2.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Figure 18. Inverting Comparator With Hysteresis
The lower input trip voltage VA1 is defined as:
VA1 = VCCR2 / [(R1 // R3) + R2)]
(1)
When VIN is greater than VA, the output voltage is low or very close to ground. In this case the three network
resistors can be presented as R2 // R3 in series with R1.
The upper trip voltage VA2 is defined as:
VA2 = VCC (R2 // R3) / [(R1 ) + (R2 // R3)]
(2)
The total hysteresis provided by the network is defined as ΔVA = VA1 - VA2.

7.4.3.2 Non-Inverting Comparator With Hysteresis
A noninverting comparator with hysteresis requires a two resistor network, and a voltage reference (VREF) at the
inverting input. When VIN is low, the output is also low. For the output to switch from low to high, VIN must rise up
to VIN1 where VIN1 is calculated by:
VREF (R1 R2 )
'VIN1
R2
(4)
As soon as VO switches to VCC, VA steps to a value greater than VREF which is given by:
(VCC VIN1 )R1
VA VIN
R1 R2
(5)
To make the comparator switch back to its low state, VIN must equal VREF before VA will again equal VREF. VIN2
can be calculated by:

7.4.4 Zero Crossing Detector
In a zero crossing detector circuit, the inverting input is connected to ground and the noninverting input is
connected to a 100 mVPP AC signal. As the signal at the noninverting input crosses 0V, the comparator’s output
changes state.
Figure 21. Simple Zero Crossing Detector
7.4.4.1 Zero Crossing Detector With Hysteresis
To improve switching times and centering the input threshold to ground a small amount of positive feedback is
added to the circuit. Voltage divider R4 and R5 establishes a reference voltage, V1, at the positive input. By
making the series resistance, R1 plus R2 equal to R5, the switching condition, V1 = V2, will be satisfied when VIN
= 0.
The positive feedback resistor, R6, is made very large with respect to R5 || R6 = 2000 R5). The resultant
hysteresis established by this network is very small (ΔV1 < 10 mV) but it is sufficient to insure rapid output
voltage transitions.
Diode D1 is used to ensure that the inverting input terminal of the comparator never goes below approximately
−100 mV. As the input terminal goes negative, D1 will forward bias, clamping the node between R1 and R2 to
approximately −700 mV. This sets up a voltage divider with R2 and R3 preventing V2 from going below ground.
The maximum negative input overdrive is limited by the current handling ability of D1.

7.4.5 Threshold Detector
Instead of tying the inverting input to 0 V, the inverting input can be tied to a reference voltage. As the input on
the noninverting input passes the VREF threshold, the comparator’s output changes state. It is important to use a
stable reference voltage to ensure a consistent switching point.

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. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LMV7239-Q1 is a single supply comparator with 75 ns of propagation delay and only 65 µA of supply
current.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
A typical application for a comparator is as a square wave oscillator. The circuit in Figure 24 generates a square
wave whose period is set by the RC time constant of the capacitor C1 and resistor R4.
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The maximum frequency is limited by the large signal propagation delay of the comparator and by the capacitive
loading at the output, which limits the output slew rate.
Figure 25. Square Wave Oscillator Timing Thresholds
Consider the output of Figure 24 to be high to analyze the circuit. That implies that the inverted input (VC) is
lower than the noninverting input (VA). This causes the C1 to be charged through R4, and the voltage VC
increases until it is equal to the noninverting input. The value of VA at this point is:
VCC ˜ R2
VA1
R2 R1 R R3

If R1 = R2 = R3, then V A1 = 2 Vcc/3

Typical Applications (continued)
At this point the comparator switches pulling down the output to the negative rail. The value of VA at this point is:
VCC (R2 R R3 )
VA2
R1 (R2 R R3 )
(9)
If R1 = R2 = R3, then VA2 = VCC/3.
The capacitor C1 now discharges through R4, and the voltage VC decreases until it is equal to VA2, at which point
the comparator switches again, bringing it back to the initial stage. The time period is equal to twice the time it
takes to discharge C1 from 2VCC/3 to VCC/3, which is given by R4C1·ln2. Hence the formula for the frequency is:
F = 1/(2·R4·C1·ln2)
(10)
The LMV7239 should be used for a symmetrical output. The LMV7235 will require a pullup resistor on the output
to function, and will have a slightly asymmetrical output due to the reduced sourcing current.

8.2.2 Crystal Oscillator
A simple crystal oscillator using the LMV7239-Q1 is shown in Figure 27. Resistors R1 and R2 set the bias point at
the comparator’s noninverting input. Resistors, R3 and R4 and capacitor C1 set the inverting input node at an
appropriate DC average level based on the output. The crystal’s path provides resonant positive feedback and
stable oscillation occurs. The output duty cycle for this circuit is roughly 50%, but it is affected by resistor
tolerances and to a lesser extent by the comparator

8.2.3 Infrared (IR) Receiver
The LMV7239-Q1 can also be used as an infrared receiver. The infrared photo diode creates a current relative to
the amount of infrared light present. The current creates a voltage across RD. When this voltage level cross the
voltage applied by the voltage divider to the inverting input, the output transitions.

The comparator outputs A and B are high only when VREF1 < VIN < VREF2, or "within the window", where these are
defined as:
VREF1 = R3/R1+R2+R3) × V+
(11)
VREF2 = R2+R3)/R1+R2+R3) × V+
(12)
To determine if the input signal falls outside of the two voltage levels, both inputs on each comparators can be
reversed to invert the logic.
Other names for window detectors are: threshold detector, level detector, and amplitude trigger or detector.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
To minimize supply noise, power supplies should be decoupled by a 0.01-μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a
10-μF capacitor.
Due to the nanosecond edges on the output transition, peak supply currents will be drawn during the time the
output is transitioning. Peak current depends on the capacitive loading on the output. The output transition can
cause transients on poorly bypassed power supplies. These transients can cause a poorly bypassed power
supply to "ring" due to trace inductance and low self-resonance frequency of high ESR bypass capacitors.
Treat the LMV7239-Q1 as a high-speed device. Keep the ground paths short and place small (low ESR ceramic)
bypass capacitors directly between the V+ and V– pins.
Output capacitive loading and output toggle rate will cause the average supply current to rise over the quiescent
current.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Proper grounding and the use of a ground plane will help to ensure the specified performance of the LMV7239Q1. Minimizing trace lengths, reducing unwanted parasitic capacitance and using surface-mount components will
also help. Comparators are very sensitive to input noise.
The LMV7239-Q1 requires a high-speed layout. Follow these layout guidelines:
1. Use printed-circuit board with a good, unbroken low-inductance ground plane.
2. Place a decoupling capacitor (0.1-µF, ceramic surface-mount capacitor) as close as possible to VCC pin.
3. 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 output.
4. Solder the device directly to the printed-circuit board rather than using a socket.
5. 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 tPD when the source impedance is low.
6. The top-side ground plane runs between the output and inputs.
7. Ground trace from the ground pin runs under the device up to the bypass capacitor, shielding the inputs from
the outputs.
