7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

LMV7219 is a single supply comparator with internal hysteresis, 7 ns of propagation delay and only 1.1 mA of

supply current.

The LMV7219 has a typical input common mode voltage range of

differential input stage is a pair of PNP transistors, therefore, the input bias current flows out of the device. If

either of the input signals falls below the negative common mode limit, the parasitic PN junction formed by the

substrate and the base of the PNP will turn on, resulting in an increase of input bias current.

7.3 Feature Description

If one of the inputs goes above the positive common mode limit, the output will still maintain the correct logic

level as long as the other input stays within the common mode range. However, the propagation delay will

increase. When both inputs are outside the common mode voltage range, current saturation occurs in the input

stage, and the output becomes unpredictable.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

The propagation delay does not increase significantly with large differential input voltages. However, large

differential voltages greater than the supply voltage should be avoided to prevent damages to the input stage.

causing high output sinking or sourcing current during the transition. After the transition, the output current

decreases and the supply current settles back to about 1.1 mA at 5 V, thus conserving power consumption.

Most high-speed comparators oscillate when the voltage of one of the inputs is close to or equal to the voltage

on the other input due to noise or undesirable feedback. The LMV7219 has 7 mV of internal hysteresis to counter

parasitic effects and noise. The hysteresis does not change significantly with the supply voltages and the

common mode input voltages as reflected in the specification table.
