NJR to launch a new rail-to-rail input comparator lineup
with industry-leading stability of time delay ※1

 Nisshinbo Micro Device (NJR) has succeeded in reducing propagation delay fluctuation of rail-to-rail input comparator caused by input signal fluctuation to 1/10 of the conventional one.

 Comparators are used to detect analog signal level of various electronic and electrical equipment regardless of automotive equipment, industrial equipment, home appliance. A lower operating power supply voltage is required for low carbon society in the market. There is also an increasing demand for rail-to-rail input comparators.
 Our newly developed circuit technology of Dynamic Transient StabilizerTM has realized rail-to-rail input which suppressed the propagation delay fluctuation, and has expanded product lineup that conforms to market requirements.

What is Dynamic Transient Stabilizer TM

 Ideal rail-to-rail input comparators with Dynamic Transient Stabilizer TM

 The propagation delay of the conventional general rail-to-rail input comparator may fluctuate 44% which is one of important characteristics when the input signal level fluctuates. So it is possible not to process the signal by the desired speed.
 In product development, this fluctuation of propagation delay must also be considered as a design margin, so it increases the design time. But if you use the circuit technology of Dynamic Transient Stabilizer TM, the stable response can be obtained with all ranges of input signals.
 New Japan radio contributes to the reduction of the propagation delay evaluation man-hours and design man-hours at each reference voltage required for applications using the conventional rail-to-rail input comparators.


Even though the input signal fluctuates, the fluctuation of propagation delay is very little

Features

  • 1.High output current can reduce the number of peripheral circuit parts
    • NJU77250 can output 65mA high current.
      NJU77212 (under development) can output 50mA high current, despite the ultra-low supply current of 0.6uA.
  • 2.High EMI immunity design
    • NJU77230 has achieved high EMI immunity of EMIRR=62dB typ. @f=900MHz.
      Moreover, NJU77212 (under development) has achieved high EMI immunity of EMIRR=100dB typ. which is the industry-leading level. ※4
      Accordingly, the previously necessary filter parts such as capacitors, resisters are not required for improving the EMI immunity. It also contributes to high reliability design and reduction of design man-hours.

  • 3.Input tolerance function
    • NJU77212 (under development) has built-in protection circuits that protects post-stage circuit and prevents malfunction of electrical equipment when the input voltage exceeds the power supply. So the previously necessary protection devices such as diodes can be reduced. And it contributes to fail-safe design and reduction of design man-hours.
  • The excellent temperature stability is suitable for automotive equipment and industrial equipment
    • he propagation delay fluctuation of NJU77250 is 0.05ns/°C to ambient temperature, and the temperature drift of its input offset voltage is 0.8uV/°C, so it can reduce the detection error.
      These characteristics are suitable for automotive equipment and industrial equipment applications that require stable and fast response in a wide temperature environment.

Applications

  • Protection circuits such as overvoltage detector, overcurrent detector, thermal shutdown etc.
  • Window comparator
  • Drive LED
  • Drive relay
  • The whole of Electronic and electrical equipment/li>
