APPLICATIONS

ADDING HYSTERESIS

To prevent oscillations at the output caused by noise or slowly

moving signals passing the switching threshold, positive

feedback can be used to add hysteresis to the noninverting parts

(ADCMP354 and ADCMP356).

For the noninverting configuration shown in Figure 19, two

resistors are used to create different switching thresholds,

depending on whether the input signal is increasing or

decreasing in magnitude. When the input voltage is increasing,

The upper input threshold level is given by

VOLTAGE DETECTOR

The ADCMP35x parts can be used to monitor voltages, such as

battery monitoring or threshold detectors. Using a resistor

divider at the input to select the appropriate trip voltage, the

comparator can be configured to give a logic output when the

input passes that threshold. Figure 20 shows the typical

configuration of the ADCMP354 for monitoring a supply to

indicate that the voltage is above a certain level.
