A more general consideration is that the common mode range is from 100mV below the negative supply to 100mV above the positive supply, independent of the actual supply voltage. The criteria for common mode limit is that the output still responds correctly to a small differential input signal. The internal latches of the LT1713/LT1714 comparators retain the input data (output latched) when their respective latch pin goes high. The latch pin will float to a low state when disconnected, but it is better to ground the latch when a flow-through condition is desired. The latch pin is designed to be driven with either a TTL or CMOS output. It has built-in hysteresis of approximately 100mV, so that slow moving or noisy input signals do not impact latch performance. For the LT1714, if only one of the comparators is being used at a given time, it is best to latch the second comparator to avoid any possibility of interactions between the two comparators in the same package. When either input signal falls outside the common mode limit, the internal PN diode formed with the substrate can turn on resulting in significant current flow through the die. Schottky clamp diodes between the inputs and the supply rails speed up recovery from excessive overdrive conditions by preventing these substrate diodes from turning on. Input Bias Current Input bias current is measured with the outputs held at 2.5V with a 5V supply voltage. As with any rail-to-rail differential input stage, the LT1713/LT1714 bias current flows into or out of the device depending upon the common mode level. The input circuit consists of an NPN pair and a PNP pair. For inputs near the negative rail, the NPN pair is inactive, and the input bias current flows out of the device; for inputs near the positive rail, the PNP pair is inactive, and these currents flow into the device. For inputs far enough away from the supply rails, the input bias current will be some combination of the NPN and PNP bias currents. As the differential input voltage increases, the input current of each pair will increase for one of the inputs and decrease for the other input. Large differential input voltages result in different input currents as the input stage enters various regions of operation. To reduce the influence of these changing input currents on system operation, use a low source resistance. 8 High Speed Design Techniques A substantial amount of design effort has made the LT1713/LT1714 relatively easy to use. As with most high speed comparators, careful attention to PC board layout and design is important in order to prevent oscillations. The most common problem involves power supply bypassing which is necessary to maintain low supply impedance. Resistance and inductance in supply wires and PC traces can quickly build up to unacceptable levels, thereby allowing the supply voltages to move as the supply current changes. This movement of the supply voltages will often result in improper operation. In addition, adjacent devices connected through an unbypassed supply can interact with each other through the finite supply impedances. Bypass capacitors furnish a simple solution to this problem by providing a local reservoir of energy at the device, thus keeping supply impedance low. Bypass capacitors should be as close as possible to the LT1713/LT1714 supply pins. A good high frequency capacitor, such as a 0.1µF ceramic, is recommended in parallel with a larger capacitor, such as a 4.7µF tantalum. LT1713/LT1714 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Poor trace routes and high source impedances are also common sources of problems. Keep trace lengths as short as possible and avoid running any output trace adjacent to an input trace to prevent unnecessary coupling. If output traces are longer than a few inches, provide proper termination impedances (typically 100Ω to 400Ω) to eliminate any reflections that may occur. Also keep source impedances as low as possible, preferably much less than 1kΩ. The input and output traces should also be isolated from one another. Power supply traces can be used to achieve this isolation as shown in Figure 1, a typical topside layout of the LT1713/LT1714 on a multilayer PC board. Shown is the topside metal etch including traces, pin escape vias and the land pads for a GN16 LT1713/LT1714 and its adjacent X7R 0805 bypass capacitors. The V +, V – and GND traces all shield the inputs from the outputs. Although the two V – pins are connected internally, they should be shorted together externally as well in order for both to function as shields. The same is true for the two V + pins. The two GND pins are not connected internally, but in most applications they are both connected directly to the ground plane. 1714 F01 Figure 1. Typical LT1714 Topside Metal for Multilayer PCB Layout 9 LT1713/LT1714 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Hysteresis Another useful technique to avoid oscillations is to provide positive feedback, also known as hysteresis, from the output to the input. Increased levels of hysteresis, however, reduce the sensitivity of the device to input voltage levels, so the amount of positive feedback should be tailored to particular system requirements. The + 50Ω LT1713 VIN Q 50Ω VIN+ + – 50k 100k 50k Q VIN LT1713/LT1714 are completely flexible regarding the application of hysteresis, due to rail-to-rail inputs and the complementary outputs. Specifically, feedback resistors can be connected from one or both outputs to their corresponding inputs without regard to common mode considerations. Figure 2 shows several configurations.

Various Configurations for Introducing Hysteresis 10 Q + 100k 171314 F02 LT1713/LT1714 U TYPICAL APPLICATIO S Simultaneous Full Duplex 75Mbaud Interface with Only Two Wires The circuit of Figure 3 shows a simple, fully bidirectional, differential 2-wire interface that gives good results to 75Mbaud, using the LT1714. Eye diagrams under conditions of unidirectional and bidirectional communication are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Although not as pristine as the unidirectional performance of Figure␣ 4, the performance under simultaneous bidirectional operation is still excellent. Because the LT1714 input voltage range extends 100mV beyond both supply rails, the circuit works with a full ±3V (one whole VS up or down) of ground potential difference. The circuit works well with the resistor values shown, but other sets of values can be used. The starting point is the characteristic impedance, ZO, of the twisted-pair cable. The input impedance of the resistive network should match the characteristic impedance and is given by: RIN = 2 • RO • R1||(R2 + R3) RO + 2 • [R1||(R2 + R3)] This comes out to 120Ω for the values shown. The Thevenin equivalent source voltage is given by: (R2 + R3 – R1) (R2 + R3 + R1) RO • RO + 2 • [R1||(R2 + R3)] VTH = VS • 750k 750k 3V 3V 4 + 14 1/2 LE LT1714 RxD 13 16 3 – 2 2 1 1 3V TxD 49.9Ω 8 – 3 3V 100k 7 + 14 1/2 LT1714 LE 15 750k 49.9Ω 4 + R2A 2.55k 5 750k 3V 100k R1C 499Ω R1A 499Ω R2C 2.55k 100k 3V 7 49.9Ω 1/2 LT1714 8 LE – 12 6 10 49.9Ω 5 + 11 11 1/2 LT1714 – LE 10 12 6 9 R3A 124Ω ROA 140Ω R3B 124Ω R1B 499Ω R2B 2.55k 6-FEET TWISTED PAIR ZO ≈ 120Ω DIODES: BAV99 ×4 15 RxD 16 13 ROB 140Ω R3C 124Ω R1D 499Ω R3D 124Ω R2D 2.55k TxD 9 100k 171314 F03 Figure 3. 75Mbaud Full Duplex Interface on Two Wires 11 LT1713/LT1714 U TYPICAL APPLICATIO S 171112 F05 171112 F04 Figure 5. Performance When Operated Simultaneous Bidirectionally (Full Duplex). Crosstalk Appears as Noise. Eye is Slightly Shut But Performance is Still Excellent Figure 4. Performance of Figure 3’s Circuit When Operated Unidirectionally. Eye is Wide Open This amounts to an attenuation factor of 0.0978 with the values shown. (The actual voltage on the lines will be cut in half again due to the 120Ω ZO.) The reason this attenuation factor is important is that it is the key to deciding the ratio between the R2-R3 resistor divider in the receiver path. This divider allows the receiver to reject the large signal of the local transmitter and instead sense the attenuated signal of the remote transmitter. Note that in the above equations, R2 and R3 are not yet fully determined because they only appear as a sum. This allows the designer to now place an additional constraint on their values. The R2-R3 divide ratio should be set to equal half the attenuation factor mentioned above or: The LT1713 is set up as a crystal oscillator. The varactor diode is biased from the tuning input. The tuning network is arranged so a 0V to 5V drive provides a reasonably symmetric, broad tuning range around the 14.31818MHz center frequency. The indicated selected capacitor sets tuning bandwidth. It should be picked to complement loop response in phase locking applications. Figure 6 is a plot of tuning input voltage versus frequency deviation. Tuning deviation from the 4 × NTSC 14.31818MHz center frequency exceeds ±240ppm for a 0V to 5V input. 1 Using the design value of R2 + R3 = 2.653k rather than the implementation value of 2.55k + 124Ω = 2.674k. R3/R2 = 1/2 • 0.09761. Voltage-Tunable Crystal Oscillator The front page application is a variant of a basic crystal oscillator that permits voltage tuning of the output frequency. Such voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO) are often employed where slight variation of a stable carrier is required. This example is specifically intended to provide a 4 × NTSC sub-carrier tunable oscillator suitable for phase locking. 12 14.3217MHz 8 FREQUENCY DEVIATION (kHz) Having already designed R2 + R3 to be 2.653k (by allocating input impedance across RO, R1 and R2 + R3 to get the requisite 120Ω), R2 and R3 then become 2529Ω and 123.5Ω respectively.

Tuning Deviation from Center Frequency Exceeds ±240ppm LT1713/LT1714 U TYPICAL APPLICATIO S 1MHz Series Resonant Crystal Oscillator with Square and Sinusoid Outputs Figure 7 shows a classic 1MHz series resonant crystal oscillator. At series resonance, the crystal is a low impedance and the positive feedback connection is what brings about oscillation at the series resonant frequency. The RC feedback around the other path ensures that the circuit does not find a stable DC operating point and refuse to oscillate. The comparator output is a 1MHz square wave (top trace of Figure 8) with jitter measured at better than 28psRMS on a 5V supply and 40psRMS on a 3V supply. At Pin 2 of the comparator, on the other side of the crystal, is a clean sine wave except for the presence of the small high frequency glitch (middle trace of Figure 8). This glitch is R10 1k 1MHz AT-CUT R4 210Ω VS R1 1k R2 1k caused by the fast edge of the comparator output feeding back through crystal capacitance. Amplitude stability of the sine wave is maintained by the fact that the sine wave is basically a filtered version of the square wave. Hence, the usual amplitude control loops associated with sinusoidal oscillators are not necessary.2 The sine wave is filtered and buffered by the fast, low noise LT1806 op amp. To remove the glitch, the LT1806 is configured as a bandpass filter with a Q of 5 and unity-gain center frequency of 1MHz, with its output shown as the bottom trace of Figure␣ 8. Distortion was measured at – 70dBc and – 60dBc on the second and third harmonics, respectively. 2 Amplitude will be a linear function of comparator output swing, which is supply dependent and therefore adjustable. The important difference here is that any added amplitude stabilization or control loop will not be faced with the classical task of avoiding regions of nonoscillation versus clipping.

They do this by reducing the power dissipation in the output driver transistors. In a normal Class A or Class AB amplifier, voltage drop and current flow exist simultaneously in the output transistors and power losses proportional to V • I occur. In a binary modulation scheme, the output transistors, whether bipolar or FET, are switched hard-on and hard-off so that voltage drops do not occur simultaneously with current flow. The circuit of Figure 9 shows an example of a binary modulation scheme, in this case pulse width modulation. The LT1809 is configured as an integrator in order to generate nice linear rail-to-rail voltage ramps. The polarity of the ramp is determined by the output of the LT1714’s comparator A into R4. The heavy hysteresis of R1 around the LT1714’s comparator A combined with the feedback of the LT1809 force the devices to perpetually reverse each other, resulting in a 1MHz triangle wave. This constitutes the usual first half of any pulse width modulator, but the Information furnished by Linear Technology Corporation is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed for its use. Linear Technology Corporation makes no representation that the interconnection of its circuits as described herein will not infringe on existing patent rights. 15 LT1713/LT1714 U TYPICAL APPLICATIO forte of this particular implementation is that it is rail-torail allowing a full-scale analog input. Once the triangle wave is achieved, the remainder of the pulse width modulator is easy, and is constituted by doing a simple comparison using the second half of the LT1714. The triangle wave and the relatively slow moving analog signal (the one to be modulated or to do the modulation, depending on how you look at it) are fed into the inputs of comparator B, whose output is then the PWM representation of the analog input voltage. The higher the analog input voltage, the wider the output pulse. The time averaged output level is thus proportional to the analog input voltage. This binary output can then be fed into power transistors with direct control over motor or speaker winding current, for R1 26.1Ω V+ R2 2k R3 2k V+ 2 4 + A 1/2 LT1714 1 – 14 R4 13 499Ω 2 16 – 3 V+ 7 LT1809 3 R5 1k + C2 0.01µF C4 0.001µF 6 4 R6 1k V + = 2.7V TO 7V 21Ω C3 100pF 1MHz TRIANGLE WAVE 16kHz ANALOG FILTER FOR LINEARITY MEASUREMENT V+ 7 V+ 1 15 The linearity of the pulse width modulated signal can easily be ascertained by putting a simple 2-pole RC filter at the output (as shown in Figure 9). This demodulates the signal which can then be viewed and compared with the original input signal on an oscilloscope. Using a spectrum analyzer and a 1kHz reference signal, this circuit’s distortion products were measured as better than – 50dBc (0.3%) to about 3.5VP-P, degrading to – 30dBc (3%) as the circuit clips at 5VP-P on a single 5V supply.
