MIC841/842
Comparator with 1.25% Reference and
Adjustable Hysteresis
General Description
The MIC841 and MIC842 are micropower, precision
voltage comparators with an on-chip voltage reference.
Both devices are intended for voltage monitoring
applications. External resistors are used to set the voltage
monitor threshold. When the threshold is crossed,
the outputs switch polarity.
The MIC842 incorporates a voltage reference and
comparator with fixed internal hysteresis; two external
resistors are used to set the switching threshold voltage.
The MIC841 provides a similar function with user
adjustable hysteresis; this part requires three external
resistors to set the upper and lower thresholds
(the difference between the threshold voltages being the
hysteresis voltage).
Both the MIC841 and MIC842 are available with push-pull
or open-drain output stage. The push-pull output stage is
configured either active high or active low; the open-drain
output stage is only configured active low.
Supply current is extremely low (1.5μA, typical), making it
ideal for portable applications.
The MIC841/2 is supplied in Micrel’s Teeny™ 5-pin
SC-70, 6-pin 1.6mm × 1.6mm Thin DFN (MIC841), and 4-
pin 1.2mm × 1.6mm Thin DFN (MIC842) packages.
