DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The LP2901 is a low-power quadruple differential comparator. The device consists of four independent voltage
comparators designed specifically to operate from a single power supply and, typically, to draw 60-µA drain
current over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies also is possible, and the ultra-low
power-supply drain current is independent of the power-supply voltage.
Applications include limit comparators, simple analog-to-digital converters, pulse generators, square-wave
generators, time-delay generators, voltage-controlled oscillators, multivibrators, and high-voltage logic gates. The
LP2901 is designed specifically to interface with the CMOS logic family. The ultra-low power-supply current
makes these products desirable in battery-powered applications.
The LP2901 is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.

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.
All voltage values, except differential voltages, are with respect to the network ground.
Differential voltages are at IN+ with respect to IN–.
This input current exists only when the voltage at any of the inputs is driven negative. The current flows through the collector-base
junction of the input clamping device. In addition to the clamping device action, there is lateral n-p-n parasitic transistor action. This
action is not destructive, and normal output states are reestablished when the input voltage returns to a value more positive than –0.3 V
at TA = 25°C.
Short circuits between outputs to VCC can cause excessive heating and eventual destruction.
If the output transistors are allowed to saturate, the low-bias dissipation and the on-off characteristics of the outputs keep the dissipation
very small (usually less than 100 mW).
Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can impact reliability.
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51 (low-K board).

Full range is –40°C to 125°C.
VIO is measured over the full common-mode input voltage range.
Because of the p-n-p input stage, the direction of the current is out of the device. This current essentially is constant (i.e., independent of
the output state). No loading change exists on the reference or input lines as long as the common-mode input voltage range is not
exceeded.
The output sink current is a function of the output voltage. These devices have a bimodal output section that allows them to sink (via a
Darlington connection) large currents at output voltages greater than 1.5 V and smaller currents at output voltages less than 1.5 V.

All pins of any unused comparators should be grounded. The bias network of the LP2901 establishes a drain
current that is independent of the magnitude of the power-supply voltage over the range of 2 V to 30 V. It usually
is necessary to use a bypass capacitor across the power-supply line.
The differential input voltage may be larger than VCC without damaging the device. Protection should be provided
to prevent the input voltages from going negative by more than –0.3 V. The output section has two distinct
modes of operation, the Darlington mode and the ground-emitter mode. This unique drive circuit permits the
device to sink 30 mA at VO = 2 V in the Darlington mode and 700 µA at VO = 0.4 V in the ground-emitter mode.
Figure 3 is a simplified schematic diagram of the output section. The output section is configured in a Darlington
connection (ignoring Q3). If the output voltage is held high enough (above 1 V), Q1 is not saturated and the
output current is limited only by the product of the hFE of Q1, the hFE of Q2, and I1 and the 60-Ω saturation
resistance of Q2. The devices are capable of driving LEDs, relays, etc. in this mode while maintaining an
ultra-low power-supply current of 60 µA typical.

Without transistor Q3, if the output voltage were allowed to drop below 0.8 V, transistor Q1 would saturate, and
the output current would drop to zero. The circuit would be unable to pull low current loads down to ground or the
negative supply, if used. Transistor Q3 has been included to bypass transistor Q1 under these conditions and
apply the current I1 directly to the base of Q2. The output sink current now is approximately I1 times the hFE of
Q2 (700 µA at VO = 0.4 V). The output of the devices exhibits a bimodal characteristic, with a smooth transition
between modes.
In both cases, the output is an uncommitted collector. Several outputs can be tied together to provide a dot logic
function. An output pullup resistor can be connected to any available power-supply voltage within the permitted
power-supply range, and there is no restriction on this voltage, based on the magnitude of the voltage that is
supplied to VCC of the package.
