General Description

The TC1040 is a mixed-function device combining two
comparators and a voltage reference in a single 8-pin
package. The inverting input of Comparator A and the
non-inverting input of Comparator B are internally
connected to the reference.

This increased integration allows the user to replace
two packages, which saves space, lowers supply
current and increases system performance. The
TC1040 operates from two 1.5V alkaline cells down to
V

DD

 = 1.8V. It requires only 10

μ

A typical of supply

current, which significantly extends battery life. A low
power shutdown input (SHDN) disables one of the
comparators, placing its outputs in a high-impedance
state. This mode saves battery power and allows
comparator outputs to share common analog lines
(multiplexing). Shutdown current is 6

μ

A (typical). 

Rail-to-rail inputs and outputs allow operation from low
supply voltages with large input and output signal
swings.

Packaged in an 8-Pin MSOP, the TC1040 is ideal for
applications requiring low power level detection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The TC1040 is one of a series of very low power, linear
building block products targeted at low voltage, single
supply applications. The TC1040 minimum operating
voltage is 1.8V and typical supply current is only 10

μ

A

(fully enabled). It combines two comparators and a
voltage reference in a single package. A shutdown
mode is incorporated for easy adaptation to system
power management schemes. During shutdown, one
comparator is disabled (i.e., powered down with output
at a high impedance). The “still awake” comparator and
voltage reference can be used as a wake-up timer,
power supply monitor, LDO controller or other
continuous duty circuit function.

3.1

Comparators

The TC1040 contains two comparators. The compara-
tor’s input range extends beyond both supply voltages
by 200mV and the outputs will swing to within several
millivolts of the supplies, depending on the load current
being driven. The inverting input of Comparator A and
the non-inverting input of Comparator B are internally
connected to the output of the voltage reference.

The comparators exhibit a propagation delay and
supply current which are largely independent of supply
voltage. The low input bias current and offset voltage
make them suitable for high impedance precision
applications.

Comparator B is disabled during shutdown and has a
high impedance output. Comparator COMPA remains
active.

3.2

Voltage Reference

A 2.0 percent tolerance, internally biased, 1.20V
bandgap voltage reference is included in the TC1040.
It has a push-pull output capable of sourcing and
sinking 50

μ

A. The voltage reference remains fully

enabled during shutdown.

3.3

Shutdown Input

SHDN at V

IL

 disables one comparator. The SHDN input

cannot be allowed to float; when not used, connect it to
V

DD

. The disabled comparator’s output is in a high

impedance state when shutdown is active. The
disabled comparator’s inputs and outputs can be driven
from rail-to-rail by an external voltage when the
TC1040 is in shutdown. No latchup will occur when the
device is driven to its enabled state when SHDN is set
to V

IH

.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS 

The TC1040 lends itself to a wide variety of
applications, particularly in battery powered systems. It
typically finds application in power management,
processor supervisory and interface circuitry.

4.1

Wake-Up Timer

Many microcontrollers have a low-power “sleep” mode
that significantly reduces their supply current. Typically,
the microcontroller is placed in this mode via a software
instruction, and returns to a fully-enabled state upon
reception of an external signal (“wake-up”). The wake-
up signal is usually supplied by a hardware timer. Most
system applications demand that this timer have a long
duration (typically seconds or minutes), and consume
as little supply current as possible. 

The circuit shown in Figure 4-1 is a wake-up timer
made from Comparator A. (Comparator A is used
because the wake-up timer must operate when SHDN
is active.) Capacitor C1 charges through R1 until a
voltage equal to V

R

 is reached, at which point the

“wake-up” is driven active. Upon wake-up, the
microcontroller resets the timer by forcing a logic low
on a dedicated, open drain I/O port pin. This discharges
C1 through R4 (the value of R4 is chosen to limit
maximum current sunk by the I/O port pin). With a 3V
supply, the circuit as shown consumes typically 8

μ

A

and furnishes a nominal timer duration of 25 seconds.

4.2

Precision Battery Monitor

Figure 4-2 is a precision battery low/battery dead
monitoring circuit. Typically, the battery low output
warns the user that a battery dead condition is
imminent. Battery dead typically initiates a forced
shutdown to prevent operation at low internal supply
voltages (which can cause unstable system operation).

The circuit in Figure 4-2 uses a single TC1040, one-
half of a TC1029, and only six external resistors.
COMPA and COMPB provide precision voltage
detection using V

R

 as a reference. Resistors R2 and

R4 set the detection threshold for BATT LOW, while
Resistors R1 and R7 set the detection threshold for
BATT FAIL. The component values shown assert
BATT  LOW at 2.2V (typical) and BATT FAIL at 2.0
(typical). Total current consumed by this circuit is
typically 22

μ

A at 3V. Resistors R5 and R6 provide

hysteresis for comparators COMPA and COMPB,
respectively.

4.3

External Hysteresis (Comparator)

Hysteresis can be set externally with two resistors
using positive feedback techniques (see Figure 4-3).
The design procedure for setting external comparator
hysteresis is as follows:

1.

Choose the feedback resistor R

C

. Since the

input bias current of the comparator is at most
100pA, the current through R

C

 can be set to

100nA (i.e., 1000 times the input bias current)
and retain excellent accuracy. The current
through R

C

 at the comparator’s trip point is V

R

 /

R

C

 where V

R

 is a stable reference voltage.

2.

Determine the hysteresis voltage (V

HY

) between

the upper and lower thresholds.

3.

Calculate R

A

 as follows:

Choose the rising threshold voltage for V

(V
