Circuit Description
The Basic Comparator
Figure 4 shows the basic circuit diagram for one of the two
comparators in the CA3290. It is generically similar to the
industry type “139” comparators, with PMOS transistors
replacing PNP transistors as input stage elements.
Transistors Q
1
through Q
4
comprise the differential input
stage, with Q
5
and Q
6
serving as a mirror connected active
load and differential-to-single-ended converter. The
differential input at Q
1
and Q
4
is amplified so as to toggle Q
6
in accordance with the input signal polarity. For example, if
+V
IN
is greater than -V
IN
, Q
1
, Q
2
, and current mirror
transistors Q
5
and Q
6
will be turned off; Transistors Q
3
, Q
4
,
and Q
7
will be turned on, causing Q
8
to be turned off. The
output is pulled positive when a load resistor is connected
between the output and V+.
In essence, Q
1
and Q
4
function as source followers to drive
Q
2
and Q
3
, respectively, with zener diodes D
1
through D
4
providing gate oxide protection against input voltage
transients (e.g., static electricity). The current flow in Q
1
and
Q
4
is established at approximately 50
µ
A by constant current
sources I
1
and I
3
, respectively. Since Q
1
and Q
4
are
operated with a constant current load, their gate-to-source
voltage drops will be effectively constant as long as the input
voltages are within the common-mode range.
As a result, the input offset voltage (V
GS(Q1)
+ V
BE(Q2)
-
V
BE(Q3)
- V
GS(Q4)
) will not be degraded when a large
differential DC voltage is applied to the device for extended
periods of time at high temperatures.
Additional voltage gain following the first stage is provided
by transistors Q
7
and Q
8
. The collector of Q
8
is open,
offering the user a wide variety of options in applications. An
additional discrete transistor can be added if it becomes
necessary to boost the output sink current capability.
The detailed schematic diagram for one comparator and the
common current source biasing is shown on the front page.
PMOS transistors Q
9
through Q
12
are the current source
4
CA3290, CA3290A
elements identified in Figure 4 as I
1
through I
4
, respectively.
Their gate source potentials (V
GS
) are supplied by a common
bus from the biasing circuit shown in the right hand portion of
the Schematic Diagram. The currents supplied by Q
10
and
Q
12
are twice those supplied by Q
9
and Q
11
. The transistor
geometries are appropriately scaled to provide the requisite
currents with common V
GS
applied to Q
9
through Q
12
.
