7.4.5.1 Inverting Comparator With Hysteresis

The inverting comparator with hysteresis requires a three-resistor network that is referenced to the comparator supply voltage (VCC), as shown below.

TLC372 Inverting Configuration With HysteresisFigure 7-3 Inverting Configuration With Hysteresis

The equivalent resistor networks when the output is high and low are shown below.

TLC372 Inverting Configuration Resistor Equivalent NetworksFigure 7-4 Inverting Configuration Resistor Equivalent Networks

When VIN is less than VA, the output voltage is high (for simplicity, assume VO switches as high as VCC). The three network resistors can be represented as R1 || R3 in series with R2, as shown above on the left.

The equation below defines the high-to-low trip voltage (VA1).

Equation 1. TLC372

When VIN is greater than VA, the output voltage is low. In this case, the three network resistors can be presented as R2 || R3 in series with R1, as shown above on the right.

Use the equation below to define the low to high trip voltage (VA2).

Equation 2. TLC372

The equation below defines the total hysteresis provided by the network.
