Caution 1: Operating the IC over the absolute maximum ratings may damage the IC. The damage can either be a short circuit between pins or an open circuit
between pins and the internal circuitry. Therefore, it is important to consider circuit protection measures, such as adding a fuse, in case the IC is
operated over the absolute maximum ratings.
Caution 2: Should by any chance the maximum junction temperature rating be exceeded the rise in temperature of the chip may result in deterioration of the
properties of the chip. In case of exceeding this absolute maximum rating, design a PCB with thermal resistance taken into consideration by
increasing board size and copper area so as not to exceed the maximum junction temperature rating.
(Note 1) The differential input voltage indicates the voltage difference between inverting input and non-inverting input.
The input pin voltage is set to VEE or more.

Function Explanation
1. EMARMOURTM
EMARMOURTM is the brand name given to ROHM products developed by leveraging proprietary technologies covering
layout, process, and circuit design to achieve ultra-high noise immunity that limits output voltage fluctuation to ±300 mV
or less across the entire noise frequency band during noise evaluation testing under the international ISO11452-2
standard. This unprecedented noise immunity reduces design load while improving reliability by solving issues related to
noise in the development of vehicle electrical systems.

Application Information - continued
1. Unused Circuits
When there are unused circuits, it is recommended that they are connected
as in right figure, and set the non-inverting input pin to electric potential
within the input common-mode voltage range (VICMR).
2. Input Voltage
Applying VEE + 36 V to the input pin is possible without causing deterioration
of the electrical characteristics or destruction, regardless of the supply
voltage. However, this does not ensure circuit operation. Note that the circuit
operates normally only when the input voltage is within the common-mode
input voltage range of the electric characteristics.
3. Power Supply (single/dual)
The comparator operates when the voltage is supplied between the VCC
and VEE pin. Therefore, the comparator can operate from single supply or
dual supplies.

4. Pin Short-circuits
When the output and the VCC pins are shorted, excessive output current may flow, resulting in undue heat generation and,
subsequently, destruction.
5. Handling the IC
Applying mechanical stress to the IC by deflecting or bending the board may cause fluctuations of the electrical
characteristics due to the piezo resistance effects. Pay attention to defecting or bending the board.

Operational Notes
1.
Reverse Connection of Power Supply
Connecting the power supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when
connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power
supply pins.
2.
Power Supply Lines
Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance supply lines. Furthermore, connect a capacitor to ground at
all power supply pins. Consider the effect of temperature and aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic
capacitors.
3.
Ground Voltage
Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition.
4.
Ground Wiring Pattern
When using both small-signal and large-current ground traces, the two ground traces should be routed separately but
connected to a single ground at the reference point of the application board to avoid fluctuations in the small-signal
ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the ground traces of external components do not cause variations
on the ground voltage. The ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance.
5.
Recommended Operating Conditions
The function and operation of the IC are guaranteed within the range specified by the recommended operating
conditions. The characteristic values are guaranteed only under the conditions of each item specified by the electrical
characteristics.
6.
Inrush Current
When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush current may flow
instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC has more than one power
supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring, and
routing of connections.
7.
Testing on Application Boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor directly to a low-impedance output pin may
subject the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply
should always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection
process. To prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during
transport and storage.
8.
Inter-pin Short and Mounting Errors
Ensure that the direction and position are correct when mounting the IC on the PCB. Incorrect mounting may result in
damaging the IC. Avoid nearby pins being shorted to each other especially to ground, power supply and output pin.
Inter-pin shorts could be due to many reasons such as metal particles, water droplets (in very humid environment) and
unintentional solder bridge deposited in between pins during assembly to name a few.
9.
Unused Input Pins
Input pins of an IC are often connected to the gate of a MOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impedance and
extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small
charge acquired in this way is enough to produce a significant effect on the conduction through the transistor and
cause unexpected operation of the IC. So unless otherwise specified, unused input pins should be connected to the
power supply or ground line.

Operational Notes – continued
10. Regarding the Input Pin of the IC
This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them
isolated. P-N junctions are formed at the intersection of the P layers with the N layers of other elements, creating a
parasitic diode or transistor. For example (refer to figure below):
When GND > Pin A and GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic diode.
When GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic transistor.
Parasitic diodes inevitably occur in the structure of the IC. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in mutual
interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage. Therefore, conditions that cause these diodes to
operate, such as applying a voltage lower than the GND voltage to an input pin (and thus to the P substrate) should be
avoided.

temperature and the decrease in nominal capacitance due to DC bias and others.
