Reference Designs related to LM393N

  • Alarm tone generator reference design
    This reference design provides a way of generating alarms similar to as described in the IEC60601-1-8 standard for medical devices. The critical timing parameters are programmable through firmware. All parameters: including pulse width: pulse rate: internal frequency: pulse rise time: volume control: and priority: are controlled using firmware. The analog envelope is generated by a combination of the MSP430FR2311 and analog circuitry.

LM393N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The maximum voltage that can be applied to the input pins is the supply voltage (VCC) + 0.3V. Exceeding this voltage can cause damage to the device.

  • To ensure a stable output, add a small capacitor (e.g., 10nF) between the output pin and ground to filter out high-frequency noise. Additionally, ensure the input signals are clean and free from noise.

  • The minimum input voltage difference required for the comparator to switch is typically around 1-2mV, but this can vary depending on the specific application and noise conditions.

  • No, the LM393N is a comparator, not an amplifier. It is designed to compare two input voltages and output a digital signal indicating which input is higher. It is not suitable for amplifying signals.

  • To protect the LM393N from EMI, use a shielded enclosure, keep the input and output traces short, and add a ferrite bead or common-mode choke to the power supply lines.
