Inverting_comparator_with_hysteresis

Published:2009/7/24 4:20:00 Author:Jessie

Fig. 15-5 This circuit provides positive feedback to force the comparator into a rapid state change when the input reaches the reference point. This overcomes one of the basic problems found in comparators (such as that in Fig. 15-1). Without feedback, the comparator can stay within the region between output high and low states (if the input is a slowly varying low-level signal). This might cause oscillation because a comparator is basically an uncompensated high-gain op amp. Only three resistors are required for feedback. The state changes are shown by the hysteresis graph.

Dual_high_side_switch_driver

Published:2009/7/24 5:33:00 Author:Jessie

Figure 8-48 shows an LTC1155 connected as a high-side MOSFET switch driver (Chapter 2). The circuit generate 12-V from a 5-V supply to fully enhance (switch) logic-level N-channel MOSFET switches, with no external components required. The supply current is typically 85 μA with the switch fully enhanced, and 8 μA with the LTC1155 in standby (both inputs off). This combination of a low-drop N-channel MOSFET switch and micropower driver is an efficient means of controlling power in complex loads. Switch efficiencies in the 99% range are practical.

Slew_rate_reduction_for_high_crryoacity_loads

Published:2009/7/24 5:36:00 Author:Jessie

Figure 8-50 shows a method for reducing the slew rate in the circuits of Figs. 8-48 and 8-49. Supply circuits in battery-operated equipment are often bypassed with large capacitors to reduce transients. If not properly switched, such filter capacitors can produce glitches at start-up. For example, the 100-μF load capacitance shown could easily produce a start-up current of 10 A (well beyond the capability of the regulator), and possibly prevent start-up. The circuit of Fig. 8-50 reduces start-up current to about 15 mA. LINEAR TECHNOLOGY, APPLICATION NorE 53, P. 3.   (View)
