Set Timeout Input. Connect a capacitor from STO to GND to program the time the comparator may
remain idle before entering standby mode. Connect STO to GND to disable the auto-standby fea-
ture. Calculate timeout with the following relationship: tASB = 10 x C

Mode Status Pin. Indicates the operating mode. STAT is high for auto-standby mode or low-power
mode, and during the transition to high-speed mode. STAT = low indicates that the comparator is in
high-speed mode. STAT can source 3mA to power additional circuitry.

FUNCTION
NAME
Low Power Mode Input. Drive LP high for low-power mode. Drive LP low for high-speed mode
(STO = GND) or for high-speed mode with auto-standby. Connect to GND if low-power mode will
not be used. Connect to V
CC
if high-speed mode will not be used.

Set Idle Timeout Input A/B. Connect a capacitor from STOA/STOB to GND to program
the time in which comparator A/B may remain idle before entering standby mode.
Connect STOA/STOB to GND to disable the auto-standby feature for comparator A/B.

STATB,
STATA
Mode Status Pin B/A. Indicates the operating mode of comparator B/A.
STATB/STATA is high for auto-standby mode or for low-power mode, and during
the transition to high-speed mode. STATB/STATA = low indicates that comparator
B/A is in high-speed mode. STATB/STATA can source 3mA to power additional
circuitry.

LP
Low Power Mode Input for both comparators. Drive LP high for low-power mode.
Drive LP low for high-speed mode (STO_ = GND) or for high-speed mode with auto-
standby. Connect to GND if low-power mode will not be used. Connect to V
CC
if
high-speed mode will not be used.
