GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADCMP572 and ADCMP573 are ultrafast comparators
fabricated on Analog Devices’ proprietary XFCB3 Silicon
Germanium (SiGe) bipolar process. The ADCMP572 features
CML output drivers and latch inputs, and the ADCMP573
features reduced swing PECL (RSPECL) output drivers and
latch inputs.
Both devices offer 150 ps propagation delay and 80 ps
minimum pulse width for 10 Gbps operation with 200 fs rms
random jitter (RJ). Overdrive and slew rate dispersion are
typically less than 15 ps.
A flexible power supply scheme allows both devices to operate
with a single 3.3 V positive supply and a −0.2 V to +1.2 V input
signal range or with split input/output supplies to support a
wider −0.2 V to +3.2 V input signal range and an independent
range of output levels. 50 Ω on-chip termination resistors are
provided at both inputs with the optional capability to be left
open (on an individual pin basis) for applications requiring
high impedance inputs.
The CML output stage is designed to directly drive 400 mV into
50 Ω transmission lines terminated to between 3.3 V to 5.2 V.
The RSPECL output stage is designed to drive 400 mV into
50 Ω terminated to VCCO − 2 V and is compatible with several
commonly used PECL logic families. The comparator input
stage offers robust protection against large input overdrive, and
the outputs do not phase reverse when the valid input signal
range is exceeded. High speed latch and programmable
hysteresis features are also provided.
The ADCMP572 and ADCMP573 are available in a 16-lead
LFCSP package and have been characterized over an extended
industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

Equivalent input bandwidth assumes a simple first-order response and is calculated with the following formula: BWEQ = 0.22/√(trCOMP2−trIN2), where trIN is the 20/80
transition time of a quasi-Gaussian signal applied to the comparator input, and trCOMP is the effective transition time digitized by the comparator.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER/GROUND LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators are very high speed
SiGe devices. Consequently, it is essential to use proper high
speed design techniques to achieve the specified performance.
Of critical importance is the use of low impedance supply
planes, particularly the output supply plane (VCCO) and the
ground plane (GND). Individual supply planes are recommended as part of a multilayer board. Providing the lowest
inductance return path for switching currents ensures the best
possible performance in the target application.
strip line techniques are essential to ensure proper transition
times and to prevent output ringing and pulse width dependent
propagation delay dispersion. For the most timing critical
applications where transmission line reflections pose the
greatest risk to performance, the ADCMP572 provides the best
match to 50 Ω output transmission paths.
VCCO
50Ω
Q
It is important to adequately bypass the input and output
supplies. A 1 µF electrolytic bypass capacitor should be placed
within several inches of each power supply pin to ground. In
addition, multiple high quality 0.01 µF bypass capacitors should
be placed as close as possible to each of the VCCI and VCCO
supply pins and should be connected to the GND plane with
redundant vias. High frequency bypass capacitors should be
carefully selected for minimum inductance and ESR. Parasitic
layout inductance should be avoided to maximize the
effectiveness of the bypass at high frequencies.

Figure 15. Simplified Schematic Diagram of
the ADCMP572 CML Output Stage
If the input and output supplies are connected separately such
that VCCI ≠ VCCO, care should be taken to bypass each of these
supplies separately to the GND plane. A bypass capacitor should
not be connected between them. It is recommended that the
GND plane separate the VCCI and VCCO planes when the circuit
board layout is designed to minimize coupling between the two
supplies and to take advantage of the additional bypass capacitance from each respective supply to the ground plane. This
enhances the performance when split input/output supplies are
used. If the input and output supplies are connected together for
single-supply operation such that VCCI = VCCO, coupling between
the two supplies is unavoidable; however, every effort should be
made to keep the supply plane adjacent to the GND plane to
maximize the additional bypass capacitance this arrangement
provides.

CML/RSPECL OUTPUT STAGE
USING/DISABLING THE LATCH FEATURE
Specified propagation delay dispersion performance can be
achieved only by using proper transmission line terminations.
The outputs of the ADCMP572 are designed to directly drive
400 mV into 50 Ω cable, microstrip, or strip line transmission
lines properly terminated to the VCCO supply plane. The CML
output stage is shown in the simplified schematic diagram of
Figure 15. The outputs are each back terminated with 50 Ω for
best transmission line matching. The RSPECL outputs of the
ADCMP573 are illustrated in Figure 16 and should be
terminated to VCCO − 2 V. As an alternative, Thevenin equivalent
termination networks can be used in either case if the direct
termination voltage is not readily available. If high speed output
signals must be routed more than a centimeter, microstrip or
The latch inputs (LE/LE) are active low for latch mode and are
internally terminated with 50 Ω resistors to Pin 8. This pin
corresponds to and is internally connected to the VCCO supply
for the CML-compatible ADCMP572. With the aid of these
resistors the ADCMP572 latch function can be disabled by
connecting the LE pin to GND with an external pull-down
resistor and leaving the LE pin unconnected. To avoid excessive
power dissipation, the resistor should be 750 Ω when VCCO =
3.3 V, and 1.2 kΩ when VCCO = 5.2 V. In the PECL-compatible
ADCMP573, the VTT pin should be connected externally to the

DELAY DISPERSION
VCCO is the signal return for the output stage and VCCO pins
should of course be connected to a supply plane for maximum
performance.
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators are designed to
reduce propagation delay dispersion over a wide input overdrive
range of 5 mV to 500 mV. Propagation delay dispersion is
variation in the propagation delay that results from a change in
the degree of overdrive or slew rate (how far or how fast the
input signal exceeds the switching threshold).
For applications working in a 50 Ω environment, input and
output matching has a significant impact on data dependent (or
deterministic) jitter (DJ) and on pulse width dispersion
performance. The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators
provide internal 50 Ω termination resistors for both the VP and
VN inputs, and the ADCMP572 provides 50 Ω back terminated
outputs. The return side for each input termination is pinned
out separately with the VTP and VTN pins, respectively. If a 50 Ω
termination is desired at one or both of the VP/VN inputs, then
the VTP and VTN pins can be connected (or disconnected) to
(from) the desired termination potential as required. The
termination potential should be carefully bypassed using high
quality bypass capacitors as discussed earlier to prevent
undesired aberrations on the input signal due to parasitic
inductance in the circuit board layout. If a 50 Ω input
termination is not desired, either one or both of the VTP/VTN
termination pins can be left disconnected. In this case, the pins
should be left floating with no external pull-downs or bypassing
capacitors.
Propagation delay dispersion is a specification that becomes
important in high speed, time-critical applications such as data
communication, automatic test and measurement, instrumentation, and event driven applications such as pulse spectroscopy,
nuclear instrumentation, and medical imaging. Dispersion is
defined as the variation in propagation delay as the input overdrive conditions vary (Figure 17 and Figure 18). For the
ADCMP572/ADCMP573, dispersion is typically <15 ps because
the overdrive varies from 10 mV to 500 mV, and the input slew
rate varies from 2 V/ns to 10 V/ns. This specification applies for
both positive and negative signals since the ADCMP572/
ADCMP573 has substantially equal delays for either positive
going or negative going inputs.
When leaving an input termination disconnected, the internal
resistor acts as a small stub on the input transmission path and
can cause problems for very high speed inputs. Reflections
should then be expected from the comparator inputs because
they no longer provide matched impedance to the input path
leading to the device. In this case, it is important to back match
the drive source impedance to the input transmission path to
minimize multiple reflections. For applications in which the
comparator is very close to the driving signal source, the source
impedance should be minimized. High source impedance in
combination with parasitic input capacitance of the comparator
might cause an undesirable degradation in bandwidth at the
input, therefore degrading the overall response. Although the
ADCMP572/ ADCMP573 comparators have been designed to
minimize input capacitance, some parasitic capacitance is
inevitable. It is therefore recommended that the drive source
impedance be no more than 50 Ω for best high speed
performance.

As with any high speed comparator, proper design and layout
techniques are essential to obtaining the specified performance.
Stray capacitance, inductance, inductive power and ground
impedances, or other layout issues can severely limit
performance and often cause oscillation. Discontinuities along
input and output transmission lines can severely limit the
specified pulse width dispersion performance.

The addition of hysteresis to a comparator is often desirable in a
noisy environment or when the differential input amplitudes are
relatively small or slow moving, but excessive hysteresis has a
cost in degraded accuracy and slew-induced timing shifts. The
transfer function for a comparator with hysteresis is shown in
Figure 19. If the input voltage approaches the threshold (0.0 V
in this example) from the negative direction, the comparator
switches from low to high when the input crosses +VH/2. The
new switching threshold becomes −VH/2. The comparator
remains in the high state until the threshold −VH/2 is crossed
from the positive direction. In this manner, noise centered on
0.0 V input does not cause the comparator to switch states
unless it exceeds the region bounded by ±VH/2.
OUTPUT
applied as a function of external resistor value. The advantages
of applying hysteresis in this manner are improved accuracy,
stability, and reduced component count. An external bypass
capacitor is not recommended on the HYS pin because it would
likely degrade the jitter performance of the device. The
hysteresis pin could also be driven by a CMOS DAC. It is biased
to approximately 250 mV and has an internal series resistance
of 600 Ω.

The customary technique for introducing hysteresis into a
comparator uses positive feedback from the output back to the
input. A limitation of this approach is that the amount of
hysteresis varies with the output logic levels, resulting in
hysteresis that can be load dependent and is not symmetrical
about the threshold. The external feedback network can also
introduce significant parasitics, which reduce high speed
performance and can even induce oscillation in some cases.
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators offer a programmable hysteresis feature that can significantly improve the
accuracy and stability of the desired hysteresis. By connecting
an external pull-down resistor from the HYS pin to GND, a
variable amount of hysteresis can be applied. Leaving the HYS
pin disconnected disables the feature, and hysteresis is then less
than 1 mV as specified. The maximum hysteresis that can be
applied using this method is approximately ±25 mV with the
pin grounded. Figure 20 illustrates the amount of hysteresis
As with all high speed comparators, a minimum slew rate
requirement must be met to ensure that the device does not
oscillate as the input signal crosses the threshold. This
oscillation is due in part to the high input bandwidth of the
comparator and the feedback parasitics inherent in the package.
A minimum slew rate of 50 V/µs should ensure clean output
transitions from the ADCMP572/ ADCMP573 comparators.
The slew rate may be too slow for other reasons. The extremely
high bandwidth of these devices means that broadband noise
can be a significant factor when input slew rates are low. There
will be at least 120 µv of thermal noise generated over the full
comparator bandwidth by two 50 Ω terminations at room
temperature. With a slew rate of only 50 V/µs the input will be
inside this noise band for over 2 ps, rendering the comparator’s
jitter performance of 200 fs moot. Raising the slew rate of the
input signal and/or reducing the bandwidth over which this
resistance is seen at the input can greatly reduce jitter.
