The TSM931–TSM934 family of single/dual/quad,
low-voltage, micropower analog comparators is
electrically and form-factor identical to the MAX931MAX934 family of analog comparators. Ideal for 3V or
5V single-supply applications, the TSM931–TSM934
family can operate from single +2.5V to +11V
supplies or from ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supplies. The
single TSM931 draws less than 4μA (max) supply
current over temperature. The dual TSM932/933 and
the quad TSM934 each draw less than 3μA per
comparator over temperature.
APPLICATIONS
Threshold Detectors
Window Comparator
Level Translators
Oscillator Circuits
Battery-Powered Systems
All comparators in this family exhibit an input voltage
range from the negative supply rail to within 1.3V of
the positive supply. In addition, the comparators’
push-pull output stages are TTL/CMOS compatible
and capable of sinking and sourcing current. The
TSM931/TSM932/TSM933 each incorporates an
internal 1.182V ±2% voltage reference. Without
complicated feedback configurations and only
requiring two additional resistors, adding external
hysteresis via a separate pin is available on the
TSM931, the TSM932, and the TSM933.

TSM931-TSM934
THEORY OF OPERATION
recommended to evaluate the circuit over the entire
power supply range and temperature.
The TSM931–TSM934 family of single/dual/quad,
low-voltage, micropower analog comparators
provide excellent flexibility and performance while
sourcing continuously up to 40mA of current. The
TSM931-TSM934 provide an on-board 1.182V ±2%
reference voltage. To minimize glitches that can
occur with parasitic feedback or a less than optimal
board layout, the design of the TSM931-TSM934
output stage is optimized to eliminate crowbar
glitches as the output switches. To minimize current
consumption while providing flexibility, the
TSM931-TSM933 have an on-board HYST pin in
order to add additional hysteresis.
Comparator Output
Power-Supply and Input Signal Ranges
The TSM931-TSM934 can operate from a single
supply voltage range of +2.5V to +11V, provide a
wide common mode input voltage range of V- to
V+-1.3V, and accept input signals ranging from V- to
V+ - 1V. The inputs can accept an input as much as
300mV above the below the power supply rails
without damage to the part. While the TSM931 and
the TSM934 are able to operate from a single supply
voltage range, a GND pin is available that allows for
a dual supply operation with a range of ±1.25V to
±5.5V. If a single supply operation is desired, the
GND pin needs to be tied to V-. In a dual supply
mode, the TSM931 and the TSM934 are compatible
with TTL/CMOS with a ±5V voltage and the TSM932
and the TSM933 are compatible with TTL with a
single +5V supply.
Low-Voltage Operation: V+ = 1.5V (TSM934 Only)
Due to a decrease in propagation delay and a
reduction in output drive, the TSM931-TSM933
cannot be used with a supply voltage much lower
than 2.5V. However, the TSM934 can operate down
to a supply voltage of 2V; however, as the supply
voltage reduces, the TSM934 supply current drops
and the performance is degraded. When the supply
voltage drops to 2.2V, the reference voltage will no
longer function; however, the comparators will
function down to a 1.5V supply voltage.
Furthermore, the input voltage range is extended to
just below 1V the positive supply rail. For
applications with a sub-2.5V power supply, it is
Page 12
The TSM931 and the TSM934 have a GND pin that
allows the output to swing from V+ to GND while the
V- pin can be set to a voltage below GND as long as
the voltage difference between V+ and V- is within
11V. Having a different voltage on V- will not affect
the output swing. For TTL applications, V+ can be
set to +5V±10% and V- can be set anywhere
between 0V and -5V±10%. On the other hand, the
TSM932 and the TSM933 do not have a GND pin;
hence, for TTL applications, V+ needs to be set to a
+5V power supply and V- to 0V. Furthermore, the
output design of the TSM931-TSM934 can source
and sink more than 40mA and 5mA, respectively,
while simultaneously maintaining a quiescent current
in the microampere range. If the power dissipation of
the package is maintained within the max limit, the
output can source pulses of 100mA of current with
V+ set to +5V. In an effort to minimize external
component count needed to address power supply
feedback, the TSM931-TSM934 output does not
produce crowbar switching current as the output
switches. With a 100mV input overdrive, the
propagation delay of the TSM931-TSM934 is 4μs.
Voltage Reference
The TSM931-TSM934 have an on-board 1.182V
reference voltage with an accuracy of ±2% across a
temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The REF pin is
able to source and sink 15μA and 8μA of current,
respectively. The REF pin is referenced to V- and it
should not be bypassed.
Noise Considerations
Noise can play a role in the overall performance of
the TSM931-TSM934. Despite having a large gain, if
the input voltage is near or equal to the input offset
voltage, the output will randomly switch HIGH and
LOW. As a result, the TSM931-TSM934 produces a
peak-to-peak noise of about 0.3mVPP while the
reference voltage produces a peak-to-peak noise of
about 1mVPP. Furthermore, it is important to design
a layout that minimizes capacitive coupling from a
given output to the reference pin as crosstalk can
add noise and as a result, degrade performance.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Hysteresis
As a result of circuit noise or unintended parasitic
feedback, many analog comparators often break into
oscillation within their linear region of operation
especially when the applied differential input voltage
approaches 0V (zero volt). Externally-introduced
hysteresis is a well-established technique to
stabilizing analog comparator behavior and requires
external components. As shown in Figure 1, adding
comparator hysteresis creates two trip points: VTHR
(for the rising input voltage) and VTHF (for the falling
input voltage). The hysteresis band (VHB) is defined
as the voltage difference between the two trip points.
When a comparator’s input voltages are equal,
hysteresis effectively forces one comparator input to
move quickly past the other input, moving the input
out of the region where oscillation occurs. Figure 1
illustrates the case in which an IN- input is a fixed
voltage and an IN+ is varied. If the input signals
were reversed, the figure would be the same with an
inverted output.
Figure 2. Programming the HYST Pin
can accept a voltage between REF and REF-50mV,
where a voltage of REF-50mV generates the
maximum voltage across R1 and thus, the maximum
hysteresis and hysteresis band of 50mV and
100mV, respectively. To design the circuit for a
desired hysteresis band, consider the equations
below to acquire the values for resistors R1 and R2:
R1 =
VHB
2 x IREF
1.182 R2 =
Figure 1. Threshold Hysteresis Band
VHB

IREF
where IREF is the primary source of current out of the
reference pin and should be maintained within the
maximum current the reference can source. This is
typically in the range of 0.1μA and 4μA. It is also
important to ensure that the current from reference is
much larger than the HYST pin input current. Given
R2 = 2.4MΩ, the current sourced by the reference is
0.5μA. This allows the hysteresis band and R1 to be
approximated as follows:
Hysteresis (TSM931-TSM933)
R1(kΩ) = VHB(mv)
Hysteresis can be generated with two external
resistors using positive feedback as shown in
Figure 2. Resistor R1 is connected between REF
and HYST and R2 is connected between HYST and
V-. This will increase the trip point for the rising input
voltage, VTHR, and decrease the trip point for the
falling input voltage, VTHF, by the same amount. If no
hysteresis is required, connect HYST to REF. The
hysteresis band, VHB, is voltage across the REF and
HYST pin multiplied by a factor of 2. The HYST pin
For the TSM932-TSM933, the hysteresis is the
same for both comparators.

Hysteresis (TSM934)
Relative to adding hysteresis with the HYST pin as
was done for the TSM931-TSM933, the circuit in
Figure 3 uses positive feedback along with two
external resistors to set the desired hysteresis. The
circuit consumes more current and it slows down the
hysteresis effect due to the high impedance on the

feedback. The following procedure explains the
steps to design the circuit for a desired hysteresis:
1. Choosing R3. As the leakage current at the
IN+ pin is less than 1nA, the current through
R3 should be at least 100nA to minimize
offset voltage errors caused by the input
leakage current. For R3 = 11.8MΩ, the
current through R3 is VREF/R3 at the trip
point. In this case, a 10MΩ resistor is a good
standard value for R3.
2. Next, the desired hysteresis band ( VHB) is
set. In this example, VHB is set to 50mV.
3. Calculating R1.
R1 = R3 x

In this example, a 100kΩ, 1% standard

4. Choose the trip point for VIN rising (VTHR),
which is the threshold voltage at which the
comparator switches its output from low to
high as VIN rises above the trip point. In this
example, choose VTHR = 3V.
5. Calculating R2.

hysteresis band using the standard

Board Layout and Bypassing
While power-supply bypass capacitors are not
typically required, it is good engineering practice to
use 0.1μF bypass capacitors close to the device’s
power supply pins when the power supply
impedance is high, the power supply leads are long,
or there is excessive noise on the power supply
traces. To reduce stray capacitance, it is also good
engineering practice to make signal trace lengths as
short as possible. Also recommended are a ground
plane and surface mount resistors and capacitors.
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Auto-Off Power Source
A timed auto power-off circuit can be designed as
shown in Figure 4 where the output of the TSM931
is the switched power-supply output. With an internal
reference, hysteresis, high current output, and a 2.5
μA supply current, the TSM931 provides a wealth of
features that make it perfect for this application.
While consuming only 3.5μA of quiescent current
with a 10mA load, the TSM931 is able to generate a
voltage of VBATT – 0.12V. As shown in the figure,
three resistors are used to generate a hysteresis
band of 100mV and sets the IN+ trip point to 50mV
when IN+ is going low. The maximum power-on
period of the OUT pin before power-down occurs

respectively. If both OUTA and OUTB signals are
ANDed together, the resulting output of the AND
gate is an active-high, power-good signal. To design
the circuit, the following procedure needs to be
performed:
1. As described in the section “Hysteresis
(TSM931-TSM933)”, determine the desired
hysteresis and select resistors R4 and R5
accordingly. This circuit has ±5mV of
hysteresis at the input where the input
voltage VIN will appear larger due to the
input resistor divider.

quiescent current.
can be determined by the RC time constant as
follows:
R x C X 4.6 s
The period value will change depending on the
leakage current and the voltage applied to the
circuit. For instance: 2MΩ x 10μF x 4.6 s = 92 s.
2. Selecting R1. As the leakage current at the
INB- pin is less than 1nA, the current
through R1 should be at least 100nA to
minimize offset voltage errors caused by the
input leakage current. Values within 100kΩ
and 1MΩ are recommended. In this
example, a 294kΩ, 1% standard value
resistor is selected for R1.
3. Calculating R2 + R3. As the input voltage
VIN rises, the overvoltage threshold should
be 5.5V. Choose R2 + R3 as follows:
Window Detector
The schematic shown in Figure 5 is for a 4.5V
undervoltage threshold detector and a 5.5V
overvoltage threshold detector using the TSM933.
Resistor components R1, R2, and R3 can be

4. Calculating R2. As the input voltage VIN
falls, the undervoltage threshold should be
4.5V. Choose R2 as follows:
R2 = (R1 + R2+ R3) x
= (294kΩ + 1.068MΩ) x

selected based on the threshold voltage desired
while resistors R4 and R5 can be selected based on
the hysteresis desired. Adding hysteresis to the
circuit will minimize chattering on the output when
the input voltage is close to the trip point. OUTA and
OUTB generate the active low undervoltage
indication and active-low overvoltage indication,

A simple four-stage level detector is shown in
Figure 6 using the TSM934. Due to its high output
source capability, the TSM921 is perfect for driving
LEDs. When all of the LEDs are on, the threshold
voltage is given as VIN =(R1 + R2)/R1 volts. All other
threshold voltages are scaled down accordingly by
¾, ½, and ¼ the threshold voltage. The current
through the LEDs is limited by the output resistors.
In this example, a 1MΩ, 1% standard value
resistor is selected for R3.

values selected:

Figure 7 provides a simple way to shift from bipolar
±5V inputs to TTL signals by using the TSM934. To
protect the comparator inputs, 10kΩ resistors are
placed in series and do not have an effect on the
performance of the circuit.
Two-Stage Low-Voltage Detector
A two step, input voltage monitoring circuit can be
designed using the TSM932 as shown in Figure 8. In
this circuit, when VIN is above the LOW and FAIL
thresholds, the outputs will be HIGH. The design
procedure used to design the window detector can
be used to design this circuit.
