LMV7231 Hex Window Comparator with 1.5% Precision and 400mV Reference
General Description
The LMV7231 is a 1.5% accurate Hex Window Comparator which can be used to monitor power supply voltages. The device uses an internal 400mV reference for the comparator trip value. The comparator set points can be set via external resistor dividers. The LMV7231 has 6 outputs (CO1-CO6) that signal an under-voltage or over-voltage event for each power supply input. An output (AO) is also provided to signal when any of the power supply inputs have an over-voltage or under-voltage event. This ability to signal an under-voltage or over-voltage event for the individual power supply inputs, in addition to an output to signal such an event on any of the power supply inputs adds unparalleled system protection capability. The LMV7231’s +2.2V to +5.5V power supply voltage range, low supply current, and input/output voltage range above V+ make it ideal for a wide range of power supply monitoring applications. Operation is guaranteed over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range. The device is available in a 24-pin LLP package.

Application Information
3 RESISTOR VOLTAGE DIVIDER SELECTION The LMV7231 trip points can be set by external resistor dividers as shown in Figure 1
30114953
FIGURE 1. External Resistor Dividers Each trip point, over-voltage, VOV, and under-voltage, VUV, can be optimized for a falling supply, VTHF, or a rising supply, VTHR. Therefore there are 22 = 4 different optimization cases. Exiting the voltage detection window (Figure 2), entering the window (Figure 3), rising into and out of the window (Figure 4), falling into and out of the window (Figure 5). Note that for each case each trip point can be optimized for either a rising or falling signal, not both. The governing equations make it such that if the same resistor, R3, and over/under-voltage ratio, VOV/VUV, is used across the channels the same nominal current will travel through the resistor ladder. As a result R2 will also be the same across channels and only R1 needs to change to set voltage detection window maximizing reuse of resistor values and minimizing design complexity. Select the R3 resistor value to be below 100kΩ so the current through the divider ladder is much greater than the LMV7231 bias current. If the current traveling through the resistor divider is on the same magnitude of the LMV7231 IBIAS, the IBIAS current will create error in your circuit and cause trip voltage shifts. Keep in mind the greatest error due to IBIAS will be caused when that current passes through the greatest equivalent resistance, REQ = R1‖(R2+R3), which will be seen by the positive input of the window comparator, +IN.

LMV7231
INPUT/OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE ABOVE V+ The LMV7231 Hex Window Comparator with 1.5% precision can accurately monitor up to 6 power rails or batteries at one time. The input and output voltages of the device can exceed the supply voltage, V+, of the comparator, and can be up to the absolute maximum ratings without causing damage or performance degradation. The typical µC input pin with crowbar diode ESD protection circuitry will not allow the input to go above V+, and thus its usefulness is limited in power supply supervision applications. The supply independent inputs of the window comparator blocks allow the LMV7231 to be tolerant of system faults. For example if the power is suddenly removed from the LMV7231 due to a system malfunction yet there still exists a voltage on the input, this will not be an issue as long as the monitored input voltage does not exceed absolute maximum ratings. Another example where this feature comes in handy is a battery sense application such as the one in Figure 6. The boards may be sitting on the shelf unbiased with V+ grounded, and yet have a fully charged battery on board. If the comparator measuring the battery had crowbar diodes, the diode from – IN to V+ would turn on, sourcing current from the battery eventually draining the battery. However, when using the LMV7231 no current, except the low input bias current of the device, will flow into the chip, and the battery charge will be preserved.
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING Bypass the supply pin, V+, with a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed close to the V+ pin. If transients with rise/fall times of 100’s μs and magnitudes of 100’s mV are expected on the power supply line a RC low pass filter network as shown in Figure 7 is recommended for additional bypassing. If no such bypass network is used power supply transients can cause the internal voltage reference of the comparator to temporarily shift potentially resulting in a brief incorrect comparator output. For example if an RC network with 100Ω resistance and 10μF capacitance (1.1ms rise time) is used the voltage reference will shift temporarily the amount, VTH Power Supply Sensitivity (VTHPSS), specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.

FIGURE 7. Power Supply Bypassing POWER SUPPLY SUPERVISION Figure 8 shows a power supply supervision circuit utilizing the LMV7231. This application uses the efficient, easy to use LM25007 step-down switching regulator. This switching regulator can handle a 9V – 42V input voltage range and it’s regulated output voltage is set to 5V with R2 = R3 = 3kΩ.
30114958
FIGURE 6. Battery Sense Application The output pin voltages of the device can also exceed the supply voltage, V+, of the comparator. This provides extra flexibility and enables designs which pull up the outputs to higher voltage levels to meet system requirements. For example it’s possible to run the LMV7231 at its minimum operating voltage, V+ = +2.2V, but pull up the output up to the absolute maximum ratings to bias a blue LED, with a forward voltage of VF = +4V. In a power supply supervision application the hardwired LMV7231 is a sound solution compared to the uC with software alternative for several reasons. First, startup is faster. During startup you don’t need to account for code loading time, oscillator ramp time, and reset time. Second, operation is quick. The LMV7231 has a maximum propagation delay in the µs and isn’t affected by sampling and conversion delays related to reading data, calculating data, and setting flags. Third, less overhead. The LMV7231 doesn’t require an expensive power consuming microcontroller nor is it dependent on controller code which could get damaged or crash.
Resistor R6 and capacitors C6, C7 are utilized to minimize output ripple voltage per the LM25007 evaluation board application note. The comparator voltage window is set to 5V +/- 5% by R7=1.15kΩ , R8=10Ω, R9=95.3Ω. See 3 RESISTOR VOLTAGE DIVIDER SELECTION section in the Application Information section of the datasheet for details on how to set the comparator voltage window. With components selected the output ripple voltage seen on the LM25007 is approximately 30 - 35mV and is reduced to about 4mV at the comparator input, +IN1, by the resistor divider. This ripple voltage can be reduced multiple ways. First, user can operate the device in continuous conduction mode rather than discontinuous conduction mode. To do this increase the load current of the device (see LM25007 datasheet for more details). However, make sure not to exceed the power rating of the resistors in the resistor ladder. Second, ripple can be reduced further with a bypass cap, C9, at the resistor divider. If desired a user can select a 1uF capacitor to achieve less than 3mV ripple at +IN1. However, there is a tradeoff and adding capacitance at this node will lower the system response time.
