DATASHEET
Quad 18V Pin Electronics Driver/Window Comparator
ISL55100A
Features
The ISL55100A is a Quad pin driver and window comparator
fabricated in a wide voltage CMOS process. It is designed
specifically for Test During Burn In (TDBI) applications, where
cost, functional density and power are all at a premium.
• Low driver output resistance
- ROUT maximum: ISL55100A 7.0Ω
• 18V I/O range
• 50MHz operation
This IC incorporates four channels of programmable drivers
and window comparators into a small 72 Ld QFN package.
Each channel has independent driver levels, data and high
impedance control. Each receiver has dual comparators, which
provide high and low threshold levels.
• 4-channel driver/receiver pairs with per pin flexibility
• Dual level - per pin - input thresholds
• Differential or single-ended digital inputs
• User defined comparator output levels
The ISL55100A uses differential mode digital inputs and can
therefore mate directly with LVDS or CML outputs.
Single-ended logic families are handled by connecting one of
the digital input pins to an appropriate threshold voltage (e.g.,
1.4V for TTL compatibility). The comparator outputs are
single-ended and the output levels are user defined to mate
directly with any digital technology.
• Low channel-to-channel timing skew
• Small footprint (72 Ld QFN)
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
Applications
• Burn in ATE
The 18V driver output and receiver input ranges allow this
device to interface directly with TTL, ECL, CMOS (3V, 5V and
7V), LVCMOS and custom level circuitry, as well as the high
voltage (super voltage) level required for many special test
modes for Flash Devices.
• Wafer level flash memory test
• LCD panel test
• Low cost ATE
• Instrumentation
• Emulation
• Device programmers

ISL55100A
Application Information
The ISL55100A provides Quad pin drivers and Quad dual level
comparator receivers in a small footprint. The four channels
may be used as bidirectional or split channels. Drivers have per
channel level, data and high impedance controls, while
comparators have per channel high and low threshold levels.
Receiver Features
The receivers are four independent window comparators that
feature high output current capability, and user defined high and
low output levels to interface with a wide variety of logic
families. Each receiver, comprises two comparators and each
comparator has an independent threshold level input, making it
easy to implement window comparator functions. The CVA and
CVB pins set the threshold levels of the A and B comparators
respectively. COMP HIGH and COMP LOW set all the comparator
output levels, and COMP HIGH must be more positive than
COMP LOW. These two inputs are unbuffered supply pins, so the
sources driving these pins must provide adequate current for the
expected load. COMP HIGH and COMP LOW typically connect to
the power supplies of the logic device driven by the comparator
outputs. The “Truth Table” for Receivers is on page 3. Receiver
outputs are not tri-statable, and do not incorporate any on-chip
short-circuit current protection. Momentary short circuits to
GND, or any supply voltage, won’t cause permanent damage,
but care must be taken to avoid longer duration short circuits. If
tolerable to the application, current limiting resistors can be
inserted in series with the QA(0 to 3) and QB(0 to 3) Outputs to
protect the receiver outputs from damage due to overcurrent
conditions.
Driver Features
The drivers are single-ended outputs featuring a wide voltage
range, an output stage capable of delivering 200mA while
providing a low out resistance and tri-state capability.
Additionally, the driver output can be toggled to drive one of
two user defined output levels High (VH) or Low (VL).
Driver waveforms are greatly affected by load characteristics.
The ISL55100A actually double bonds the VH(0 to 3) and
VL(0 to 3) supply pins for each channel. The Driver Output Pins
(DOUT(0 to 3)) are triple bonded. Multiple bond wires help
reduce the effects of Inductance between the IC Die (Wafer)
and the packaging. Also the QFN style of packaging reduces
inductance over other types of packaging.
While the inductance of a bond wire might seem insignificant,
it can reduce high-frequency waveform fidelity. Therefore, this
should be borne in mind when doing PCB layout and DUT
interconnect. Lead lengths should be kept as short as possible,
maintaining as much decoupling on the drive rails as possible
and make sure scope measurements are made properly. Often
the inductance of a scope probe ground can be the actual
cause of the waveform distortion.
VH and VL (Driver Output Rails)
There are sets of VH and VL pins designated for each driver.
These are unbuffered analog inputs that determine the Drive
High (VH) and Drive Low (VL) Voltages that the drivers will

8
deliver. These inputs are double bonded to reduce inductance
and decrease AC Impedance.
Each VH and VL should be decoupled with 4.7µF and 0.1µF
capacitors to ground. If all four VH/VLs are bussed per device
then one 4.7µF can be used for multiple VH/VL pins. Layouts
should also accommodate the placement of capacitance
“across” VH and VL. So in addition to decoupling the VH/VL
pins to ground, they are also decoupled to each other.
Logic Inputs
The ISL55100A uses differential mode digital inputs, and can
therefore mate directly with LVDS or CML outputs.
Single-ended logic families are handled by connecting one of
the digital input pins to an appropriate threshold voltage (e.g.,
1.4V for TTL compatibility).
LOWSWING Circuit Option
The drivers include switchable circuitry that is optimized for
either low (VH - VL < 3V) or high output swings, and this
selection is accomplished via the LOWSWING pin. Connecting
LOWSWING to VEE selects the circuits optimized for low
overshoots at low swings, while tying the pin VCC enables the
large signal circuitry (see Figure 7).
With LOWSWING = VEE, the low swing circuitry activates
whenever VH < VEE + 5V, and the VH and VL currents increase,
so for the lowest power dissipation set LOWSWING = VEE only if
the output swing (VH - VL) is less than 3V, and better than 10%
overshoots are required.
For the best small signal performance, the VH/VL common
mode voltage [(VH + VL)/2] must be VEE + 1.5V. So if VEE = 0V,
and the desired swing is 500mV, set VH = 1.75V, and
VL = 1.25V.
Driver and Receiver Overload Protection
The ISL55100A is designed to provide minimum and balanced
Driver ROUT. Great care should be taken when making use of
the ISL55100A low ROUT drivers as there is no internal
protection. There is no short-circuit protection built into either
the driver or the receiver/comparator outputs. Also there are
no junction temperature monitors or thermal shutdown
features.
The driver or receiver outputs may be damaged by more than a
momentary short-circuit directly to any low impedance voltage.
If included, a 50Ω Series Termination Resistor provides
suitable driver protection, but should be properly rated.
External Logic Supply Option (VEXT)
Connection of the VEXT Pin to a 5.5V DC Source (Referenced to
VEE) will reduce the VCC - VEE current drain. Current drain is
directly proportional to Data Rate. This option will help with
Power Supply/Dissipation should heat distribution become an
issue.

As with any high frequency device, good printed circuit board
layout is necessary for optimum performance. Ground plane

construction is highly recommended, lead lengths should be
as short as possible, and the power supply pins must be well
bypassed to reduce the risk of oscillation. For normal single
supply operation, where the VEE pin is connected to ground,
one 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should be placed from the VCC
pin to ground. A 4.7µF tantalum capacitor should then be
connected from the VCC pin to ground. This same capacitor
combination should be placed at each supply pin to ground if
split supplies are to be used.
Power Dissipation Considerations
Specifying continuous data rates, driver loads and driver level
amplitudes are key in determining power supply requirements
as well as dissipation/cooling necessities. Driver Output
patterns also impact these needs. The faster the pin activity,
the greater the need to supply current and remove heat.
Figures 17 and 18 address power consumption relative to
Frequency of Operation. These graphs are based on Driving
6.0/0.0V Out into a 1kΩ Load. TjA for the device package is
23.0°C/W, 16.6°C/W and 14.9°C/W based on airflows of
0m/s, 1m/s and 2.5m/s. The device is mounted per Note 4
under “Thermal Information” on page 4. With the high speed
data rate capability of the ISL55100A, it is possible to exceed
the +150°C “absolute maximum junction temperature” as
operating conditions and frequencies increase. Therefore, it is
important to calculate the maximum junction temperature for
the application to determine if operating conditions need to be
modified for the device to remain in the safe operating area.
The maximum power dissipation allowed in a package is
determined according to Equation 1:
T JMAX - T AMAX
P DMAX = -------------------------------------------- JA
(EQ. 1)
options in order to control the ambient temperature part of the
equation. This is especially true if the user’s applications
require continuous, high speed operation.
The reader is cautioned against assuming the same level of
thermal performance in actual applications. A careful
inspection of conditions in your application should be
conducted. Great care must be taken to ensure Die
Temperature does not exceed Absolute Maximum Thermal
Limits.
Important Note: The ISL55100A package metal pad (EP) is
used for heat sinking of the device. It is electrically connected
to the negative supply potential (VEE). If VEE is tied to ground,
the thermal pad can be connected to ground. Otherwise, the
thermal pad (VEE) must be isolated from other power planes.
Power Supply Sequencing
The ISL55100A references every supply with respect to VEE.
Therefore apply VEE, then VCC followed by the VH, VL busses,
then the COMP High and Comp Low followed by the CVA and
CVB Supplies. Digital Inputs should be set with a differential
bias as soon as possible. In cases where VEXT is being utilized
(VEXT = VEE + 5.5V), it should be powered up immediately after
VCC. Basically, no pin should be biased above VCC or below VEE.
Data Rates
Please note that the Frequency (MHz) in Figures 17 and 18
contain two transitions within each period. A digital application
that requires a new test pattern every 50ns would be running
at a 20MHz Data Rate. Figure 19 reveals that a 100ns period,
10MHz in frequency parlance, results in two 50ns digital
patterns.
ESD Protection
where:
• TJMAX = Maximum junction temperature
Figure 6 is the block diagram depicting the ESD protection
networks. The DOUT-to-VH diode is the upper FET’s
drain-to-body diode.
• TAMAX = Maximum ambient temperature
• JA = Thermal resistance of the package
• PDMAX = Maximum power dissipation in the package
The maximum power dissipation actually produced by an IC is
the total quiescent supply current times the total power supply
voltage, plus the power in the IC due to the loads. Power also
depends on the number of channels changing state, and the
frequency of operation. The extent of continuous active pattern
generation/reception will greatly effect dissipation
requirements.
The power dissipation curves (Figure 17), provide a way to see
if the device will overheat. The junction temperature rise above
ambient vs. operating frequency can be found graphically in
Figure 18. This graph is based on the package type TJA ratings
and actual current/wattage requirements of the ISL55100A
when driving a 1k load with a 6V High Level and a 0V Low Rail.
The temperatures are indicated as calculated junction
temperature over the ambient temperature of the user’s
system. Plots indicate temperature change as operating
frequency increases (the graph assumes continuous
operation). The user should evaluate various heat sink/cooling
