8.1.2 Increase Comparator Hysteresis

The onboard comparator of the device is designed with a hysteresis of 50 mV. The INA381-Q1 is designed for

the user to change the hysteresis from a preset value of 50 mV by connecting an external resistor between

VOUT and CMPIN. Figure 46 shows a detailed block diagram of adding additional hysteresis.

Figure 46. Increase Hysteresis to the Comparator

The default hysteresis is 50 mV. Internal to the comparator, the INA381-Q1 has a current source of 4 µA in

series with 12.5 kΩ. The internal current source and hysteresis of the comparator is set by the internal hysteresis

control circuit that is enabled only after ALERT is asserted low. ALERT is asserted low during an overcurrent

condition when the voltage on VOUT exceeds the threshold set on the CMPREF pin. The internal 4-µA

hysteresis circuits are triggered only after ALERT is asserted low.
