What are the key features of MCP6548-I/SN?
- Single comparator with open-drain output and hardware chip-select input enabling direct connection to SPI or GPIO-controlled enable lines without external logic
- Ultra-low 0.0001 µA input bias current and 1.6 V minimum supply voltage for nano-power threshold detection in energy-harvesting and coin-cell applications
- 7 mV maximum input offset voltage ensures predictable switching thresholds without calibration in voltage monitoring and window detection circuits
- Open-drain output is directly wire-OR-able with other comparators or logic signals for fault-detect bus aggregation without additional discrete components
- SOIC-8 package with -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating and RoHS-compliant, Pb-free construction for standard automated assembly
What is MCP6548-I/SN used for?
The MCP6548-I/SN is used in battery-level detection, over-temperature warning circuits, and power-good monitoring where a low-power open-drain comparator with chip-select must assert a fault flag to a microcontroller GPIO with minimal quiescent draw. Its 1.6 V minimum supply supports direct operation from a single alkaline or Li-ion cell in portable devices such as handheld instruments and IoT sensor nodes. The chip-select input also makes it useful in multi-comparator threshold monitoring systems where several MCP6548 devices share a common open-drain fault bus and are individually enabled by MCU I/O lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum supply voltage for the MCP6548-I/SN and does it operate from a single Li-ion cell?
The MCP6548-I/SN operates from a minimum supply voltage of 1.6 V up to 5.5 V, covering the full discharge range of a single Li-ion cell (nominally 2.5 V to 4.2 V). It continues to function correctly at the end of battery life when the cell voltage drops below 2.0 V, making it reliable for battery-level detection circuits that must trigger a low-battery alert before the system shuts down at around 2.5 V.
How does the chip-select input of the MCP6548-I/SN work in a multi-comparator fault detection system?
The chip-select (CS) pin enables or disables the comparator output independently of the input voltages. When CS is driven low by an MCU GPIO, the open-drain output is active and can pull the fault bus low if the threshold condition is met. When CS is high, the output is disabled (high-impedance), effectively disconnecting that comparator from the shared open-drain wire-OR bus. This allows a system with 4 or 8 MCP6548 devices on a single fault line to poll each comparator individually without reading false faults from unselected channels.
What is the input offset voltage of the MCP6548-I/SN and how does it affect threshold accuracy?
The maximum input offset voltage is 7 mV (7000 µV), which means the actual switching threshold can deviate up to ±7 mV from the intended reference voltage. For a 3.3 V system monitoring a power-good threshold set at 3.0 V, the worst-case trigger point shifts by ±0.23% of supply. This level of offset is acceptable for most voltage monitoring applications and eliminates the need for external calibration or trimming resistors in threshold detection circuits.
Can the open-drain output of the MCP6548-I/SN directly drive a logic-level signal to a 3.3 V MCU?
Yes. The open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor to the desired logic supply, typically 3.3 V or 5 V, with a resistor value between 1 kOhm and 100 kOhm depending on the required response speed. A 10 kOhm pull-up to 3.3 V gives a time constant under 1 µs for typical PCB parasitic capacitance below 100 pF, providing fast enough response for battery monitoring and power sequencing applications. The output voltage low level is typically below 0.4 V at 4 mA sink current, compatible with standard CMOS logic thresholds.
How does the MCP6548-I/SN compare to a standard comparator without a chip-select for building a window detector?
A conventional comparator requires 2 devices and 2 open-drain outputs wire-ORed through discrete components to implement a window detector flagging both over-voltage and under-voltage conditions. With the MCP6548's chip-select, both upper and lower threshold comparators can share a single fault wire and be polled sequentially by toggling 2 MCU GPIO lines, replacing a small-signal MOSFET or diode OR circuit. The 1.6 V to 5.5 V range, 0.0001 µA bias current, and SOIC-8 package keep the BOM compact for industrial sensor nodes monitoring supply rails from 1.8 V to 5 V.
