TMS320F28379D: maximum Hysteresis of comparator

Part Number: TMS320F28379D

In Table 5-54 of SPRS880G list the maximum value of Hysteresis of comparator is 48 CMPSS DAC LSB, if want to set the Hysteresis value to 200mV, is it possible to achieve that?

  • Hi Zhang,

    The comparator in the F28379 uses the compdac to apply the hysteresis which is why the units is in cmpss dac lsb. Since the compdac uses vdda or vdac as reference voltage, the maximum hysteresis that can be applied is around 42mV (lsb to mV).

    Out of curiosity, is there a reason you need 200mV of hysteresis? If your system has that much noise, you should consider reducing the noise in the system instead.

  • Strong,

    If more hysteresis is required, you might consider adding an external resistor network to supplement or substitute the internal hysteresis: en.wikipedia.org/.../Schmitt_trigger

  • Tommy,

    Thanks, It is customer's requirement that they need 200mV of hysteresis, they use the ADC channel for comparator as well as AD sample, as I did not find the parameters of internal resistor network, Could you help to explain how to add an external resistor network when need more hysteresis ?
  • Strong,

    Are you able to see the link?  There's a generic topology and formula for calculating the hysteresis.

    It's essentially a pull resistor that allows the comparator GPIO output to bias the input voltage.
