8.0 Application Hints (Continued)

When both inputs of the LM111 are connected to active

signals, or if a high-impedance signal is driving the

positive input of the LM111 so that positive feedback

would be disruptive, the circuit of Figure 1 is ideal. The

positive feedback is to pin 5 (one of the offset adjust-

ment pins). It is sufficient to cause 1 to 2 mV hysteresis

and sharp transitions with input triangle waves from a

few Hz to hundreds of kHz. The positive-feedback signal

across the 82

Ω resistor swings 240 mV below the posi-

tive supply. This signal is centered around the nominal

voltage at pin 5, so this feedback does not add to the

OS of the comparator. As much as 8 mV of VOS can be

trimmed out, using the 5 k

Ω pot and 3 kΩ resistor as

shown.

These application notes apply specifically to the LM111,

LM211, LM311, and LF111 families of comparators, and

are applicable to all high-speed comparators in general,

(with the exception that not all comparators have trim

pins).
