FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM1815 is an adaptive sense amplifier and

Adaptive Hysteresis
default gating circuit for motor control applications.
Single Supply Operation
The sense amplifier provides a one-shot pulse output
Ground Referenced Input
whose leading edge coincides with the negative-
going zero crossing of a ground referenced input

to over 120V
P-P
In normal operation, this timing reference signal is
with External Resistor
processed (delayed) externally and returned to the
CMOS Compatible Logic
LM1815. A Logic input is then able to select either
the timing reference or the processed signal for

Position Sensing with Notched Wheels
The adaptive sense amplifier operates with a positive-
going threshold which is derived by peak detecting

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
