DESCRIPTION
The nanopower TS9001-1/2 analog comparators
guarantee +1.6V operation, draw very little supply
current, and have robust input stages that can
tolerate input voltages beyond the power supply. Both
products are Touchstone Semiconductor’s first
analog comparator products in its “NanoWatt Analog”
high-performance analog integrated circuits portfolio.
The TS9001-1/2 draw 600nA of supply current and
include an on-board +1.252V±1% reference. These
comparators are also electrically and form-factor
identical to the MAX9117 and the MAX9118 family of
analog comparators. Both comparators offer a 33%
improvement in voltage reference initial accuracy and
the TS9001-1 offers 73% higher output current drive.
The TS9001-1’s push-push output drivers were
designed to drive 5mA loads from one supply rail to
the other supply rail. The TS9001-2’s open-drain
output stage make it easy to incorporate this analog
comparator into systems that operate on different
supply voltages. Both devices are available in an
ultra-small 5-pin SC70 package.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Guaranteed to operate from +1.6V supplies, the
TS9001-1 and the TS9001-2 analog comparators
only draw 600nA supply current, feature a robust
input stage that can tolerate input voltages 200mV
beyond the power supply rails, and include an on-
board +1.252V ±1% voltage reference. To insure
clean output switching behavior, both analog
comparators feature 4mV internal hysteresis. The
TS9001-1’s push-pull output drivers were designed
to minimize supply-current surges while driving
±5mA loads with rail-to-rail output swings. The open-
drain output stage TS9001-2 can be connected to
supply voltages above V
CC
to an absolute maximum
of 6V above V
EE
. Where wired-OR logic connections
are needed, their open-drain output stages make it
easy to use this analog comparator.
Input Stage Circuitry
The robust design of the analog comparators’ input
stage can accommodate any differential input
voltage from V
EE
- 0.2V to V
CC
+ 0.2V. Input bias
currents are typically ±0.15nA so long as the applied
input voltage remains between the supply rails. ESD
protection diodes - connected internally to the supply
rails - protect comparator inputs against overvoltage
conditions. However, if the applied input voltage
exceeds either or both supply rails, an increase in
input current can occur when these ESD protection
diodes start to conduct.

TS9001
Output Stage Circuitry
Many conventional analog comparators can draw
orders of magnitude higher supply current when
switching. Because of this behavior, additional
power supply bypass capacitance may be required
to provide additional charge storage during
switching. The design of the TS9001-1’s rail-to-rail
output stage implements a technique that virtually
eliminates supply-current surges when output
transitions occur. The supply-current change as a
function of output transition frequency exhibited by
these analog comparators is very small. Material
benefits of this attribute to battery-power
applications are the increase in operating time and
in reducing the size of power-supply filter capacitors.
Internal Voltage Reference
The TS9001-1/2’s internal +1.252V voltage
reference exhibits a typical temperature coefficient
of 40ppm/°C over the full -40°C to +85°C
temperature range. An equivalent circuit for the
reference section is illustrated in Figure 1. Since the
output impedance of the voltage reference Is
typically 200kΩ, its output can be bypassed with a
low-leakage capacitor and is stable for any
capacitive load.

Equivalent Circuit
An external buffer – such as the TS1001 – can be
used to buffer the voltage reference output for higher
output current drive or to reduce reference output
impedance.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Low-Voltage, Low-Power Operation
Because they were designed specifically for low-
power, battery-operated applications, the TS9001-
1/2 comparators are an excellent choice. Under
nominal conditions, approximate operating times for
this analog comparator family is illustrated in Table 1
for a number of battery types and their
corresponding charge capacities.
Internal 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 2, adding
comparator hysteresis creates two trip points: V
THR
(for the rising input voltage) and V
THF
(for the falling
input voltage). The hysteresis band (V
HB
) 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
