Product details
Overview
AMC22C12QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade isolated window comparator with galvanic isolation barrier, adjustable ±20mV to ±300mV trip threshold, 280ns typical propagation delay, and open-drain output supporting latch/transparent modes - used for fast overcurrent detection in HEV/EV traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the AMC22C12QDRQ1 datasheet, AMC22C12QDRQ1 pinout, AMC22C12QDRQ1 application, or AMC22C12QDRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 55V/ns CMTI, ±1% trip threshold error at 250mV, 3kVRMS isolation rating, and dual-supply operation (3–25V high-side / 2.7–5.5V low-side) in automotive safety-critical monitoring.
Technical Context
The AMC22C12QDRQ1 implements a dual-comparator architecture across an isolation barrier: Cmp0 monitors positive excursions (VREF + VHYS), Cmp1 monitors negative excursions (–VREF – VHYS), enabling true window-comparison centered at 0V. Threshold adjustment is achieved via a precision 100μA ±1% internal current source applied to an external resistor on the REF pin.
It supports two functional modes: window-comparator mode (VREF ≤ 450mV, enabling both comparators) and positive-only comparator mode (VREF ≥ 600mV, disabling Cmp1). Latch mode is activated by pulling LATCH high; transparent mode requires LATCH tied to GND2 - both modes drive the same open-drain OUT pin referenced to GND2.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 3000VRMS per UL1577; 4250VPK basic isolation per VDE 0884-17 - enables safe monitoring of high-voltage bus signals in EV power stages |
| Propagation Delay | 280ns typical - supports sub-microsecond fault response required for IGBT/MOSFET short-circuit protection |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 55V/ns minimum - ensures reliable operation during fast-switching noise transients in inverter gate drivers |
| Adjustable Trip Threshold | ±20mV to ±300mV (window mode); 600mV to 2.7V (positive-only mode) - allows precise shunt-based current sensing across wide dynamic range |
| Supply Voltage Ranges | High-side: 3V–25V; Low-side: 2.7V–5.5V - supports direct connection to battery rails and MCU I/O domains without level-shifting |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1% max at 250mV - guarantees consistent trip point across temperature (–40°C to +125°C) and supply variations |
| Output Type | Open-drain OUT referenced to GND2 - enables flexible pull-up to 3.3V or 5V logic, compatible with MCU interrupt inputs |
Pinout & Package
AMC22C12QDRQ1 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.9mm × 6mm body size, with creepage/clearance ≥4mm and DTI ≥15.4µm - compliant with reinforced insulation requirements for automotive systems up to 560VRMS working voltage.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | High-side power supply | Provides power to input-side comparators and reference circuitry; operates from 3V to 25V - connects directly to HV domain (e.g., shunt side) |
| IN | Analog input | Differential input referenced to GND1; accepts ±4V range - interfaces with current-sense shunt amplifier outputs |
| REF | Reference input | Sinks 100μA ±1% current; sets trip threshold via external resistor - defines both window width and hysteresis |
| GND1 | High-side ground | Return path for VDD1, IN, and REF - forms isolated input domain separated by galvanic barrier |
| GND2 | Low-side ground | Return path for VDD2 and OUT - forms isolated output domain connected to MCU or controller logic |
| OUT | Digital output | Open-drain output referenced to GND2 - requires external pull-up; asserts low on fault condition in either latch or transparent mode |
| LATCH | Digital control input | Active-high signal selecting latch mode (fault latched until reset) or transparent mode (output follows input state) |
| VDD2 | Low-side power supply | Supplies output-side logic; 2.7V–5.5V range - matches standard MCU I/O voltage domains |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMC1301QDWQ1 | Isolated delta-sigma modulator (not comparator); requires external digital filter and logic for threshold detection | Used where high-resolution current measurement is needed alongside fault detection - not a direct replacement for fast window-compare function | Select AMC1301QDWQ1 only when analog output or higher resolution is required; AMC22C12QDRQ1 provides faster, simpler fault assertion. |
| ISO224BQDWQ1 | Isolated analog amplifier (gain = 8.2) with ±10V input range; no built-in comparison or latch logic | Used for isolated voltage/current measurement feeding into MCU ADC - lacks integrated decision-making capability | Choose ISO224BQDWQ1 when analog feedback is needed; AMC22C12QDRQ1 delivers immediate digital fault flag without processing overhead. |
Compared with AMC1301QDWQ1 and ISO224BQDWQ1, the AMC22C12QDRQ1 uniquely integrates galvanically isolated window comparison, adjustable threshold, and latch/transparent output logic in a single 8-pin SOIC - eliminating external components and software latency for time-critical automotive fault detection.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the AMC22C12QDRQ1 isolation barrier?
The AMC22C12QDRQ1 supports a maximum rated isolation working voltage of 560VRMS per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), validated for continuous operation in automotive environments. This enables safe monitoring of 400V and 800V battery systems with margin, and is distinct from its 3000VRMS 1-minute withstand rating per UL1577.
How does the AMC22C12QDRQ1 achieve adjustable trip thresholds without external op-amps?
The AMC22C12QDRQ1 integrates a precision 100μA ±1% current source connected to the REF pin. By connecting an external resistor from REF to GND1, the voltage drop across that resistor sets the trip threshold - e.g., a 2.5kΩ resistor yields 250mV, defining a ±250mV window. This eliminates external amplifiers while maintaining ±1% accuracy.
Can the AMC22C12QDRQ1 be used in positive-only comparator mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes - the AMC22C12QDRQ1 enters positive-only comparator mode when the voltage on the REF pin exceeds 550mV (with 50mV hysteresis). In this mode, the negative comparator (Cmp1) is disabled, and only the positive comparator (Cmp0) remains active, supporting reference voltages up to 2.7V for supply rail monitoring applications.
What is the purpose of the LATCH pin on the AMC22C12QDRQ1, and what happens if it is left unconnected?
The LATCH pin selects between transparent mode (LATCH = low) and latch mode (LATCH = high). In transparent mode, the OUT pin follows the comparator state in real time; in latch mode, OUT remains asserted after fault detection until cleared by toggling LATCH. The pin must never float - tie to GND2 if transparent mode is desired.
Does the AMC22C12QDRQ1 require external filtering on the REF pin, and why?
Yes - a capacitor (20–100nF) is recommended from REF to GND1 to filter noise and improve transient immunity. Because the REF pin sources/sinks a precise 100μA current, any noise on this node directly modulates the trip threshold. Placing the capacitor close to the pin minimizes loop area and maintains ±1% accuracy under EMI stress.
