Hello,
I am looking for a design of a comparator with a latched output.
Meaning when the input reaches a certain threshold, the comparator change a state ( from 0V to high for 5V for example)
and stays - (latched) - to this until power down.

Hi Giora,
I would like to know a little more about your design requirements. Are you looking for a comparator with a latch-enable pin? Or are you looking for a circuit that achieves a latched output state via external components?
Also, what are your desired specifications for the device? (Supply Voltage, push-pull output...etc.)
Thanks,
Joe
Hi Joe,
Thanks.
I need a comparator that his output is latched when its input reaches some threshold or has you stated :
a circuit that achieves a latched output state via external components?.
Should work from 5V supply and it has open collector output.
Giora
This can be implemented with a comparator with a very large hysteresis. Just set the negative-going threshold to a negative value. For example, with a 5 V supply and thresholds of 4 V and −1 V, you have to use equal resistors (R2/R1 = 1) and VREF = 2 V.
See any comparator hysteresis calculator, for example, daycounter.com/Calculators/Comparator-Hysteresis-Calculator.phtml.
Serch for rail-to-rail 5 V open-drain comparators, e.g., TLV7021.
Thank you for the support Clemens!
Giora, I hope that this was the information you were looking for.
Thanks,
Joe
