Nano Power, Push/Pull Output Comparator
The ISL28915 is a nano power comparator optimized for
low-power applications. This device is designed for
single-supply operation from 1.8V to 5.5V and typically
consumes 500nA of supply current. These devices also feature
a push/pull output stage with rail-to-rail input and output
swing (RRIO), allowing for maximum battery usage.
The combination of small footprint, low power, single supply,
and rail-to-rail operation makes them ideally suited for all
battery operated devices.
The ISL28915 features an enable pin and is offered in the
6 Ld SOT-23 package. The device operates over the -40°C to
+125°C temperature range.

Applications Information
Introduction
The ISL28915 is a CMOS rail-to-rail input and output (RRIO)
nanopower comparator. This device is designed to operate from
single supply (1.8V to 5.5V) and have an input common mode
range that extends to the positive rail and to the negative supply
rail for true rail-to-rail performance. The CMOS output can swing
within tens of millivolts to the rails. Featuring worst case
maximum supply current of only 900nA, this comparator is
ideally suited for solar and battery powered applications.
Input Protection
During the low to high transition, however, if the load resistor is
tied to ground, then the additional break-before-make time is
added to the propagation delay time because the output won’t
pull high until the P-Channel turns on.
V+
+
-
FIGURE 25A. RL TO GND
V+
All input terminals have internal ESD protection diodes to both
positive and negative supply rails, limiting the input voltage to
within one diode beyond the supply rails. The ISL28915 has a
maximum input differential voltage that extends beyond the rails
(V+ + 0.5V to GND - 0.5V).
+
-
Rail-to-Rail Output
Break-Before-Make Operation of the Output
The output circuit has a break-before-make response. This
means that the P-Channel turns off before the N-Channel turns
on during a high to low transition of the output (reference
Figure 24). Likewise, the N-Channel turns off before the
P-Channel turns on during a low to high transition. This results in
different propagation delay times depending upon where the
output load resistor is tied to. If the load resistor is tied to ground
(Figure 25A), then the propagation delay is controlled by the
P-Channel. For a high to low transition, the propagation delay
does not include the additional break-before-make time because
the load resistor will pull the output low once the P-Channel has
turned off.

A pair of complementary MOSFET devices are used to achieve
the rail-to-rail output swing. The NMOS sinks current to swing the
output in the negative direction. The PMOS sources current to
swing the output in the positive direction. The ISL28915 with a
10kΩ load will typically swing to within 10mV of the positive
supply rail and within 35mV of ground.

FIGURE 25. CONNECTION OF RL TO GND AND V+
If the load resistor is tied to V+ (Figure 25B), then the
propagation delay is controlled by the N-Channel. For this
condition, the additional delay time is added to the high to low
transition because the output won’t pull low until the N-Channel
turns on. Figures 4 through 7 show the differences in
propagation delay depending upon where the load is tied.
Propagation Delay
The input to output propagation delay has a dependency on
power supply voltage, overdrive and whether the output is
sourcing or sinking current. Figures 4 and 5 show a decreasing
time propagation delay vs supply voltage for the ISL28915. The
output break-before-make mechanism results in a difference in
propagation delay, depending on whether the output stage
NMOS and PMOS are sourcing or sinking current. This delay
difference is shown in the figures as a function of where the load
is terminated (V+ or GND) and also as a function of supply
voltage. The dependence of propagation delay as a function of
power supply voltage and input overdrive (from 5mV to 1V) is
shown in Figures 6 and 7. Propagation delay is measured from
the time the input signal reached 50% of its final value to the
time the output reaches 50% of its final value. Rise and fall times
are measured from the time the signal is at 20% of its final value
to the time it reaches 80% of the final value.
Enable Feature
The ISL28915 in the 6 Ld SOT-23 package offers an EN pin that
enables the device when pulled high. The enable threshold is
referenced to the GND terminal and has a level proportional to the
total supply voltage (reference Figure 9 for EN Threshold vs Supply
Voltage). The enable circuit has a delay time that changes as a
function of supply voltage. Figures 10 and 11 show the effect of
supply voltage on the enable and disable times. The enable and
disable delay is measured from the time the signal crosses the
enable threshold to the time the output reaches 20% of its final
value. For supply voltages less than 3V, it is recommended that the
user account for the increased enable/disable delay time.

ISL28915
In the disabled state (output in a high impedance state), the
supply current is reduced to a typical of only 0.25nA. By disabling
the devices, multiple parts can be connected together as a MUX.
In this configuration, the outputs are tied together in parallel and
a channel can be selected by the EN pin. The EN pin should never
be left floating. The EN pin should be connected directly to the V+
supply when not in use.
Proper Layout Maximizes Performance
To achieve the maximum performance of the high input
impedance, care should be taken in the circuit board layout. The
PC board surface must remain clean and free of moisture to
avoid leakage currents between adjacent traces. Surface coating
of the circuit board will reduce surface moisture and provide a
humidity barrier, reducing parasitic resistance on the board.
When input leakage current is a concern, the use of guard rings
around the comparator inputs will further reduce leakage
currents.
