About TL712

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TL712

Hello, sir/madame
I am sorry to interrupt you.
I have some doubts about TL712.I want to use TL712 to generate TTL LEVE.Now,I can not understand some instructions of the datasheet.

Some questions about TL712:
Q1: Is label 1 connected to label 2 ?
Q2: the resistance in label 3 is R-load?
What is the value of the resistance?
Q3: What is the use of diodes in label 4 and label 5 ?

    Hello,

    Q1 - Yes label 2 is connected to label 1. Note that the load circuit is used for testing the switching characteristics of the comparator. (See page 3 "Switching Characteristics" on the datasheet).

    Q2 - Yes that is the resistive load. I was unable to find any information on what the actual load is, however I expect it to be > 1kOhm.

    Q3 - The diodes in the circuit perform a clamping function. It is difficult to perform high-speed transition measurements when the output is swinging several volts. To enable easier measurements a clamping circuit such as the one shown is used. When the output is HIGH (say 5V), then diode 4 is reverse biased and the final output (between 2kOhm and label 5) is clamped at 2.1V (3 diode drops). When the output transitions from HIGH to LOW (5V -> 0V, for example), diode 4 will forward bias. The final output will move from 2.1V to 0.7V. Diode 5 will be OFF under this condition. In this manner we only have to measure a 2.1V -> 0.7V transition (1.4V delta), vs a full 5V transition.

    Hello,

    This is my application circuit,but my out waveform is wrong.I don't know what is the problem.

    And this is my output waveform,

    Hello,
    Usually the threshold voltage is set somewhere close to mid-supply (2.5V in your case). You are currently connecting the threshold voltage to 0V (through pin 2, Vin-).

    Is your sine-wave going between +/-250mV? If your sine wave is going between +/-250mV and Vin- is set to GND, then you should see a rectified waveform. Is the output the green signal or the yellow signal? Also, can you switch your scope to 1MOhm input impedance and measure?

    Bington,

    The TL712 expects a TLL load. 2k to ground is not a good match. 2k to 5V would be OK.
    I see CH1 using a 50 ohm scope setting, Do you have an active (powered) probe connected?

    For your original questions.
    A1: Label 1 can connect to an external circuit that is labeled 2
    A2: That resistor seems out of place, at least 10k if you use it. It should be like Equivalent enable input schematic (middle picture).
    A3 those diode approximate the transistors in a TLL input stage.
