8ns High-Speed Comparator
Features
The EL5181 comparator is designed
for operation in single supply and dual
supply applications with 5V to 12V
between VS+ and VS-. For single supplies, the inputs can
operate from 0.1V below ground for use in ground sensing
applications.
• 8ns Typ. propagation delay
The output side of the comparator can be supplied from a
single supply of 2.7V to 5V. The rail-to-rail output swing
enables direct connection of the comparator to both CMOS
and TTL logic circuits.
• Rail-to-rail outputs
The latch input of the EL5181 can be used to hold the comparator output value by applying a low logic level to the pin.
• Window comparator (EL5283)
The EL5181 is available in the 8-pin SO package and is
specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Also available are a dual (EL5281), a window
comparator (EL5283), and quad versions (EL5481 and
EL5482).
• +2.7V to +5V output supply
• True-to-ground input
• Active low latch
• Dual available (EL5281)
• Quad available (EL5481 & EL5482)
• Pin-compatible 4ns family available (EL5x85, EL5287 &
EL5486)

Applications Information
Power Supplies and Circuit Layout
The EL5181 comparator operates with single and dual supply with 5V to 12V between VS+ and VS-. The output side of
the comparator is supplied by a single supply from 2.7V to
5V. The rail to rail output swing enables direct connection of
the comparator to both CMOS and TTL logic circuits. As with
many high speed devices, the supplies must be well
bypassed. Elantec recommends a 4.7µF tantalum in parallel
with a 0.1µF ceramic. These should be placed as close as
possible to the supply pins. Keep all leads short to reduce
stray capacitance and lead inductance. This will also minimize unwanted parasitic feedback around the comparator.
The device should be soldered directly to the PC board
instead of using a socket. Use a PC board with a good,
unbroken low inductance ground plane. Good ground plane
construction techniques enhance stability of the
comparators.
Input Voltage Considerations
The EL5181 input range is specified from 0.1V below VS- to
2.25V below VS+. The criterion for the input limit is that the
output still responds correctly to a small differential input signal. The differential input stage is a pair of PNP transistors,
therefore, the input bias current flows out of the device.
When either input signal falls below the negative input voltage limit, the parasitic PN junction formed by the substrate
and the base of the PNP will turn on, resulting in a significant
increase of input bias current. If one of the inputs goes above
the positive input voltage limit, the output will still maintain
the correct logic level as long as the other input stays within
the input range. However, the propagation delay will
increase. When both inputs are outside the input voltage
range, the output becomes unpredictable. Large differential
voltages greater than the supply voltage should be avoided
to prevent damages to the input stage.
Input Slew Rate
Most high speed comparators oscillate when the voltage of
one of the inputs is close to or equal to the voltage on the
other input due to noise or undesirable feedback. For clean
output waveform, the input must meet certain minimum slew
rate requirements. In some applications, it may be helpful to
apply some positive feedback (hysteresis) between the output and the positive input. The hysteresis effectively causes
one comparator's input voltage to move quickly past the
other, thus taking the input out of the region where oscillation
occurs. For the EL5181, the propagation delay increases
when the input slew rate increases for low overdrive voltages. With high overdrive voltages, the propagation delay
does not change much with the input slew rate.
Latch Pin Dynamics
The EL5181 contains a “transparent” latch for each channel.
The latch pin is designed to be driven with either a TTL or
CMOS output. When the latch is connected to a logic high
level or left floating, the comparator is transparent and immediately responds to the changes at the input terminals. When
the latch is switched to a logic low level, the comparator output remains latched to its value just before the latch’s high8
to-low transition. To guarantee data retention, the input signal must remain the same state at least 1ns (hold time) after
the latch goes low and at least 2ns (setup time) before the
latch goes low. When the latch goes high, the new data will
appear at the output in approximately 6ns (latch propagation
delay).
Hysteresis
Hysteresis can be added externally. The following two methods can be used to add hysteresis.
Inverting comparator with hysteresis:
VREF
R3
R2
+
R1
VIN
-
R3 adds a portion of the output to the threshold set by R 1 and
R2. The calculation of the resistor values are as follows:
Select the threshold voltage VTH and calculate R1 and R2.
The current through R1/R2 bias string must be many times
greater than the input bias current of the comparator:
R1
V TH = VREF × --------------------R1 + R2
Let the hysteresis be VH, and calculate R3:
VO
R 3 = -------× ( R 1 || R 2 )
VH
where:
VO =V SD-0.8V (swing of the output)
Recalculate R2 to maintain the same value of VTH:

 VTH  V TH -0.5VSD
R 2 1 = ( ( V REF )-  V TH ) ÷  ---------- + ----------------------------------- 
R3

 R1 

Non inverting comparator with hysteresis:
R3
R1
+
VIN
VREF
-
R3 adds a portion of the output to the positive input. Note that
the current through R 3 should be much greater than the input
bias current in order to minimize errors. The calculation of
the resistor values as follows:
Pick the value of R1. R1 should be small (less than 1kΩ) in
order to minimize the propagation delay time.
Choose the hysteresis VH and calculate R 3:
R1
R 3 = ( V SD -0.8 ) × ------V
H
EL5181
Check the current through R3 and make sure that it is much
greater than the input bias current as follows:
0.5VSD -V REF
I = --------------------------------------R3
The above two methods will generate hysteresis of up to a
few hundred millivolts. Beyond that, the impedance of R3 is
low enough to affect the bias string and adjustment of R1
may be required.
Threshold Detector
The inverting input is connected to a reference voltage and
the non-inverting input is connected to the input. As the input
passes the V REF threshold, the comparator's output
changes state. The non-inverting and inverting inputs may
be reversed.
VIN

VREF

VOUT
Power Dissipation
When switching at high speeds, the comparator's drive capability is limited by the rise in junction temperature caused by
the internal power dissipation. For reliable operation, the
junction temperature must be kept below TJMAX (125°C).
An approximate equation for the device power dissipation is
as follows. Assume the power dissipation in the load is very
small:
P DISS = ( VS × IS + V SD × I SD )
where:
VS is the analog supply voltage from V S+ to VSIS is the analog quiescent supply current per comparator
VSD is the digital supply voltage from VSD to ground
ISD is the digital supply current per comparator
I SD strongly depends on the input switching frequency.
Please refer to the performance curve to choose the input
driving frequency. Having obtained the power dissipation,
the maximum junction temperature can be determined as
follows:
TJMAX = T MAX + Θ JA × PDISS
Crystal Oscillator
A simple crystal oscillator using one comparator of an
EL5181 is shown below. The resistors R1 and R 2 set the
bias point at the comparator's non-inverting input. Resistors
R3, R4, and C 1 set the inverting input node at an appropriate
DC average voltage based on the output. The crystal's path
provides resonant positive feedback and stable oscillation
occurs. Although the EL5181 will give the correct logic output
when an input is outside the common mode range, additional
delays may occur when it is so operated. Therefore, the DC
bias voltages at the inputs are set about 500mV below the
center of the common mode range and the 200Ω resistor
attenuates the feedback to the non-inverting input. The circuit will operate with most AT-cut crystal from 1MHz to 8MHz
over a 2V to 7V supply range. The output duty cycle for this
circuit is roughly 50% at 5V VCC , but it is affected by the tolerances of the resistors. The duty cycle can be adjusted by
changing V CC value.
