Product details
Overview
AMC23C14 from Texas Instruments is a dual, reinforced isolated window comparator with fast 280 ns propagation delay, ±1% trip threshold accuracy at 250 mV, and adjustable thresholds (±20 mV to ±300 mV) for one channel and fixed ±300 mV thresholds for the second - used in overcurrent detection circuits of motor drives and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the AMC23C14 datasheet, AMC23C14 pinout, AMC23C14 application, or AMC23C14 equivalent, this page delivers verified isolation specs (7000 VPK reinforced), dual-mode operation (window vs. positive-only), open-drain output behavior, CMTI ≥15 V/ns, and SOIC-8 package implementation details - all validated against TI SBAS945B (Dec 2024).
Technical Context
The AMC23C14 integrates two independent isolated comparators across a reinforced galvanic barrier certified to DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) and UL 1577, supporting up to 1000 VRMS working voltage. Its input side operates from 3 V to 27 V, while the output side runs on 2.7 V to 5.5 V - enabling direct interface with high-voltage power stages and low-voltage MCUs.
It supports two functional modes: dual-window mode (both comparators active, centered at 0 V) and positive-comparator-only mode (enabled when REF > 550 mV), where Cmp0 threshold adjusts from 600 mV to 2.7 V and Cmp2 remains fixed at 300 mV - with internal 100 µA ±1% reference current sourcing from the REF pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation rating | 7000 VPK reinforced per VDE 0884-17; enables safe monitoring of >1 kV DC bus voltages in industrial inverters. |
| Propagation delay | 280 ns typical; supports real-time fault response in high-speed motor control loops with <1 µs total detection latency. |
| Threshold accuracy | ±1% max at 250 mV; ensures precise overcurrent trip points without calibration in shunt-based sensing. |
| CMTI | ≥15 V/ns minimum; maintains reliable operation during fast dv/dt transients in SiC/GaN-based power converters. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive traction inverters and industrial drive cabinets. |
| Supply ranges | VDD1 = 3–27 V (high-side); VDD2 = 2.7–5.5 V (low-side); allows direct connection to LDO outputs and wide-input DC/DC rails. |
| Output type | Open-drain outputs (OUT1/OUT2); simplifies level-shifting and enables wired-OR fault signaling to MCU interrupt pins. |
Pinout & Package
AMC23C14 is housed in an 8-pin wide-body SOIC (DWV) package measuring 5.85 mm × 11.5 mm, optimized for creepage/clearance ≥8.5 mm and reinforced isolation integrity per safety standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | High-side power supply | Provides power to input-side circuitry; accepts 3–27 V; includes undervoltage lockout at 2.9 V (falling). |
| IN | Analog input | Common differential input node for both comparators; accepts ±400 mV to 4 V range referenced to GND1. |
| REF | Reference input | Sets trip threshold via external resistor; sources 100 µA ±1% current; mode-selects window vs. positive-only operation. |
| GND1 | High-side ground | Return path for input-side circuitry and shunt measurement; galvanically isolated from GND2. |
| GND2 | Low-side ground | Return path for output-side logic; connects to MCU ground; isolated from GND1 by reinforced barrier. |
| OUT1 | Digital output | Open-drain output of window comparator 1; sinks up to 4 mA; requires external pull-up to VDD2. |
| OUT2 | Digital output | Open-drain output of window comparator 2; independently controllable; shares same electrical specs as OUT1. |
| VDD2 | Low-side power supply | Supplies output-side logic; 2.7–5.5 V range; includes UVLO at 2.1 V (falling) and POR at 2.3 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated window comparators | One channel with ±20 mV to ±300 mV adjustable threshold (via REF resistor); second with fixed ±300 mV - enables simultaneous high- and low-sensitivity fault detection. |
| Positive-comparator-only mode | Activated when REF > 550 mV; disables negative comparators (Cmp1/Cmp3); configures Cmp0 for 600 mV–2.7 V threshold - ideal for unidirectional supply rail monitoring. |
| Reinforced isolation certification | 7000 VPK per VDE 0884-17 and 5000 VRMS/1 min per UL 1577; meets IEC 62368-1 for end-equipment safety compliance without additional system-level barriers. |
| High CMTI immunity | ≥15 V/ns minimum; prevents false triggering during >50 V/ns common-mode transients typical in SiC inverter switching nodes. |
| Fast, deterministic timing | 280 ns typical propagation delay with <130 ns variation (280–410 ns max); enables sub-microsecond fault response critical for IGBT/SiC short-circuit protection. |
| Integrated reference current source | 100 µA ±1% internal current into REF pin; eliminates need for external precision current source or voltage divider - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
Applications
| Motor Drive Overcurrent Protection | Solar Inverter DC Link Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMC1301QDWVRQ1 | Single-channel, ±250 mV fixed threshold; no adjustable window; 1000 VRMS reinforced isolation; 210 ns propagation delay. | Lacks dual-window capability and REF-based threshold adjustment; suited only for single-threshold overcurrent detection. | Select when only one fault channel is needed and design prioritizes lowest possible propagation delay over configurability. |
| SI8920BD-IS | Dual-channel, 2.5 kVRMS reinforced isolation; 300 ns propagation delay; fixed ±150 mV thresholds; no REF pin or adjustable mode. | Lower isolation rating (2.5 kV vs. 5 kVRMS) and no positive-only mode; requires external reference for threshold scaling. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial PLC I/O modules where 2.5 kV isolation suffices and dual fixed thresholds meet requirements. |
Compared with AMC1301QDWVRQ1 and SI8920BD-IS, the AMC23C14 uniquely combines dual-window operation, REF-adjustable thresholds, positive-only mode, and 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation - making it the only option supporting adaptive fault detection across multiple voltage domains in high-reliability inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum working voltage supported by the AMC23C14 isolation barrier?
The AMC23C14 supports a maximum rated isolation working voltage (VIOWM) of 1000 VRMS at AC sine wave and 1410 VDC, validated per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17). This enables safe operation in 690 VAC and 1000 VDC industrial power systems when implemented per PCB creepage/clearance guidelines.
How does the REF pin configure the AMC23C14 into positive-comparator-only mode?
The AMC23C14 enters positive-comparator-only mode when the voltage on the REF pin exceeds 550 mV (rising threshold). In this mode, Cmp1 and Cmp3 are disabled, Cmp0 operates with a 600 mV–2.7 V adjustable threshold, and Cmp2 remains fixed at 300 mV - allowing unidirectional voltage monitoring without negative excursion detection.
What is the guaranteed propagation delay specification for the AMC23C14 across temperature and voltage?
The AMC23C14 guarantees a maximum propagation delay of 410 ns over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and across VDD1 = 3–27 V and VDD2 = 2.7–5.5 V, measured with 10 mV overdrive and 15 pF load. Typical delay is 280 ns at 25°C, 5 V VDD1, and 3.3 V VDD2.
Can the AMC23C14 be used with a 24 V high-side supply and 3.3 V low-side MCU interface?
Yes - the AMC23C14 explicitly supports VDD1 = 24 V (within 3–27 V range) and VDD2 = 3.3 V (within 2.7–5.5 V range). Its open-drain outputs (OUT1/OUT2) are compatible with 3.3 V MCU interrupt pins when pulled up to VDD2, and its 100 µA REF current source functions correctly across this supply combination.
Does the AMC23C14 require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes - a resistor from REF to GND1 sets the adjustable threshold (e.g., 250 kΩ for 250 mV), and a capacitor (20–100 nF) from REF to GND1 is required for noise filtering. Additionally, external pull-up resistors on OUT1/OUT2 are mandatory for open-drain logic interfacing; no other passive components are needed for core functionality.
