8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

For this design, follow these design requirements:

• The supply voltage connected to pin (V+) serves as the reference voltage for the comparator and can be any voltage between 1.7 V and 5.5 V.
• The voltage applied to the input pin (IN) can be any voltage in the range of 0 V to 5.6 V. This voltage range is uniquely independent of the supply voltage applied to pin (V+).
• The comparator output pin (OUT) requires a pull-up resistor that sets the output-high logic level (V_OH) for the comparator. V_PULL-UP should be connected to the supply voltage of the microcontroller which is monitoring the comparator output and serves as the level-shifting block for the logic levels in the application.
