Comparator with Reference
Final Information
General Description
The MIC834 is a micropower, precision voltage comparator
with an on-chip voltage reference.
The threshold is adjusted by the choice of two external
resistors. Voltage detection threshold is accurate to 1.5%.
Supply current is extremely low (1.5µA, typical), making it
ideal for portable applications.
The MIC834 is supplied in Micrel’s IttyBitty™ 5-lead SOT-23-
5 package.

Functional Description
The MIC834 monitors the input voltage and detects when it
is higher than a programmed level (plus V
HYST
). This condi-
tion asserts the active-high output. An external pull-up resis-
tor is used to produce a logic-one output. When the input
voltage falls below the programmed threshold (V
INP
< V
REF
),
the output stage is on.
Voltage Low Output
The voltage-low output (OUT) is an active-high, open-drain
output which sinks current when the MIC834 detects a low
input voltage.
Trip Points
Input voltage is monitored by a comparator via a voltage
divider network. The divided voltage is compared to an
internal reference voltage. When the voltage at the input pin
INP exceeds the internal reference voltage (plus V
HYST
), the
output is pulled high by an external resistor.
V
HYST
is typically 23mV, and is added to the programmed
threshold voltage for positive-going inputs. Decreasing in-
puts trip at the user-programmed threshold voltage.
The tolerance of the switching threshold on the falling edge
is equal to the tolerance of just the voltage reference. The
tolerance of the switching threshold on the rising edge is
equal to the tolerance of the voltage reference
plus
the
tolerance of the hysteresis voltage.

Output
Since the MIC834 output is an open-drain MOSFET, most
applications will require a pull-up resistor. The value of the
resistor should not be too large or leakage effects may
dominate. 470kΩ is the maximum recommended value. Note
that the output may be pulled up as high as 6V regardless of
the IC’s supply voltage. See “Electrical Characteristics.”

Input Transients
The MIC834 is inherently immune to very short negative-
going “glitches.” Very brief transients may exceed the V
IN(lo)
threshold without tripping the output.
As shown in Figure 2, the narrower the transient, the deeper
the threshold overdrive that will be ignored by the MIC834.
The graph represents the typical allowable transient duration
for a given amount of threshold overdrive that will not gener-
ate an output.
MAX. TRANSIENT DURATION (µs)
In order to provide the additional criteria needed to solve for
the resistor values, the resistors can be selected such that
they have a given total value, that is, R1 + R2 = R
TOTAL
. A
value such as 1MΩ for R
TOTAL
is a reasonable value because
it draws minimum current but has no significant effect on
accuracy.
When working with large resistors, a small amount of leakage
current can cause voltage offsets that degrade system accu-
racy. The maximum recommended total resistance from V
IN
to ground is 3MΩ. The accuracy of the resistors can be
chosen based upon the accuracy required by the system. The
inputs may be subjected to voltages as high as 6V steady-
state without adverse effects of any kind regardless of the
IC’s supply voltage. This applies even if the supply voltage is
zero. This permits the situation in which the IC’s supply is
turned off, but voltage is still present on the inputs. See
“Electrical Characteristics.”
