4) Choose the threshold voltage for V
IN
rising (V
THR
). In
this example, choose V
THR
= 3V.
5) Calculate R2 as follows:
R2 = 1/{[V
THR
/(V
REF
R1)] - 1/R1 - 1/R3} =
1/{[3 / (1.2 100kΩ)] - 1/100kΩ - 1/10MΩ} = 67.114kΩ
A 1% preferred value is 64.9kΩ.
6) Verify the threshold voltages with these formulas:
V
IN
rising:
V
THR
= V
REF
R1 (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3)
V
IN
falling:
V
THF
= V
THR
- (R1 V
CC
)/R3
7) Check the error due to input bias current (5nA). If the
error is too large, reduce R3 and recalculate.
V
TH
= I
B
(R1 R2 R3)/(R1 + R2 + R3) = 0.2mV
Board Layout and Bypassing
Use 10nF power-supply bypass capacitors. Use 100nF
bypass capacitors when supply impedance is high,
when supply leads are long, or when excessive noise is
expected on the supply lines. Minimize signal trace
lengths to reduce stray capacitance. Minimize the
capacitive coupling between IN- and OUT. For slow-
moving input signals (rise time > 1ms) use a 1nF
capacitor between IN+ and IN-.
