4.9 Unused Comparators

An unused amplifier in a quad package (MCP6549)

should be configured as shown in Figure 4-8. This

circuit prevents the output from toggling and causing

crosstalk. It uses the minimum number of components

and draws minimal current (see Figure 2-15 and

Figure 2-18).

4.10 Typical Applications

4.10.1 PRECISE COMPARATOR

Some applications require higher DC precision. An

easy way to solve this problem is to use an amplifier

(such as the MCP6041) to gain-up the input signal

before it reaches the comparator. Figure 4-9 shows an

example of this approach.

4.10.2 WINDOWED COMPARATOR

Figure 4-10 shows one approach to designing a

windowed comparator. The wired-OR connection

produces a high output (logic 1) when the input voltage

is between VRB and VRT (where VRT > VRB).
