LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
The LMC7221 is not an especially fast comparator, so high speed design practices are not required. The
LMC7221 is capable of operating with very high impedance inputs, so precautions should be taken to reduce
noise pickup with high impedance (∼ 100 kΩ and greater) designs and in electrically noisy environments.
Keeping high value resistors close to the LMC7221 and minimizing the size of the input nodes is a good practice.
With multilayer designs, try to avoid long loops which could act as inductors (coils). Sensors which are not close
to the comparator may need twisted pair or shielded connections to reduce noise.
PUSH-PULL OUTPUTS, DUAL VERSIONS
The LMC7211 is a comparator similar to the LMC7221, but with push-pull outputs which can source current.
The performance of the LMC7221 is available in a dual device. Please see the LMC6772 datasheet. For a dual
device with push-pull outputs, please see the LMC6762 datasheet.
