Part Number: LM393
Hi!
I am trying to design a comparator circuit for monitoring the voltage across a dc link capacitor(Vdcl) of a motor controller using LM393.
The output of comparator should change at Vdcl=60V DC and the maximum value of Vdcl is 85V DC.
Power supply will we drawn from a 12V battery.
The are many op-amps available but with a very low input voltage range so a voltage divider circuit needs to be employed, but I am not sure how it is going to affect the HV circuit.
Also the voltage Vdcl is between two lines of the HV but the input to the comparator is single ended.
So, I want to know :
- Is LM393 a right choice for the application or is there a better option?
- Will the simple voltage divider arrangement affect rest of the HV circuit?
- How to use this double ended HV voltage as input to a comparator?
