In order to maximize battery life in portable
applications, use large resistors and small capacitive
loads. Also, avoid toggling the output more than
necessary and do not use chip select (CS) to conserve
power for short periods of time. Capacitive loads will
draw additional power at start-up.
3.8
In applications where low input bias current is critical,
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) surface leakage effects
need to be considered. Surface leakage is caused by
humidity, dust or other contamination on the board.
Under low-humidity conditions, a typical resistance
between nearby traces is 10
would cause 5 pA. If current-to-flow, this is greater
than the MCP6546/7/8/9 family’s bias current at 25°C
(1 pA, typ).
The easiest way to reduce surface leakage is to use a
guard ring around sensitive pins (or traces). The guard
ring is biased at the same voltage as the sensitive pin.
An example of this type of layout is shown in
Figure 3-6.

Some applications require higher DC precision. An
easy way to solve this problem is to use an amplifier
(such as the MCP6041) to gain-up the input signal
before it reaches the comparator. Figure 3-7 shows an
example of this approach.

Figure 3-8 shows one approach to designing a
windowed comparator. The wired-OR connection
produces a high output (logic 1) when the input voltage
is between V
