Output Voltage and Logic Input Level

In order for ATL431LI to properly be used as a comparator, the logic output must be readable by the receiving logic device. This is accomplished by knowing the input high and low level threshold voltage levels, typically denoted by VIH and VIL.

As seen in Figure 24, ATL431LI's output low level voltage in open-loop/comparator mode is approximately 2 V, which is typically sufficient for 5V supplied logic. However, would not work for 3.3 V and 1.8 V supplied logic. To accommodate this a resistive divider can be tied to the output to attenuate the output voltage to a voltage legible to the receiving low voltage logic device.

ATL431's output high voltage is equal to VSUP due to ATL431LI being open-collector. If VSUP is much higher than the receiving logic's maximum input voltage tolerance, the output must be attenuated to accommodate the outgoing logic's reliability.

When using a resistive divider on the output, be sure to make the sum of the resistive divider (R1 and R2 in Figure 23) is much greater than RSUP in order to not interfere with ATL431LI's ability to pull close to VSUP when turning off.
