EL5485, EL5486
January 18, 2002
Quad 4ns High Speed Comparators
Features
The EL5485 and EL5486 comparators
are 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.
• 4ns typ. propagation delay
FN7200
• 5V to 12V input supply
• +2.7V to +5V output supply
• True-to-ground input
• Rail-to-rail outputs
The output side of the comparators 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.
The latch input of the EL5486 can be used to hold the
comparator output value by applying a low logic level to the
pin.
The EL5485 is available in the 16-pin SO (0.150") package
and the EL5486 in the 24-pin QSOP package. Both are
specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C
temperature range. Also available are single (EL5185), dual
(EL5285), and window comparator (EL5287) versions.
• Active low latch
• Single (EL5185) available
• Dual (EL5285) available
• Window available (EL5287)
• Pin-compatible 8ns family available (EL5x81, EL5283 &
EL5482)
Applications
• Threshold detection
• High speed sampling circuits
• High speed triggers

Applications Information
Power Supplies and Circuit Layout
The EL5485 and EL5486 comparators operate 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.
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 EL5486 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 high-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
4ns (latch propagation delay). The EL5485 does not have
latch inputs.
Input Voltage Considerations
Hysteresis
The EL5485 and EL5486’s 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. Inputs of unused channels should not be left
floating. They should be driven to a known state. For
example, one input can be tied to ground and the other input
can be connected to some voltage reference (like ±100mV)
to avoid oscillation in the output due to unwanted output to
input feedback.
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 R1
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 = V REF × --------------------R +R

2
Let the hysteresis be VH, and calculate R3:
VO
R 3 = -------- × ( R 1 || R 2 )
VH
where:
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 EL5485 and EL5486, the
propagation delay increases when the input slew rate

VO=VSD-0.8V (swing of the output)
Recalculate R2 to maintain the same value of VTH:
 V TH V TH – 0.5V SD 
R 2 1 = ( V REF – V TH ) ÷  ----------- + -------------------------------------- 
R3
 R1

EL5485, EL5486
R3 adds a portion of the output to the positive input. Note
that the current through R3 should be much greater than the
input bias current in order to minimize errors. The calculation
of the resistor values as follows:
maximum junction temperature can be determined as
follows:
Pick the value of R1. R1 should be small (less than 1kΩ) in
order to minimize the propagation delay time.
where:
Choose the hysteresis VH and calculate R3:
R1
R 3 = ( V SD – 0.8 ) × -------V
H
Check the current through R3 and make sure that it is much
greater than the input bias current as follows:
0.5V SD – 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.
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 = ( V S × I S + V SD × I SD ) × N
where:
VS is the analog supply voltage from VS+ to VSIS is the analog quiescent supply current per comparator
T JMAX = T MAX + Θ JA × P DISS
TMAX is the maximum ambient temperature
θJA is the thermal resistance of the package
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 VREF threshold, the comparator's output
changes state. The non-inverting and inverting inputs may
be reversed.
A simple crystal oscillator using one comparator of an
EL5485 and EL5486 is shown below. The resistors R1 and
R2 set the bias point at the comparator's non-inverting input.
Resistors R3, R4, and C1 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 EL5485 and EL5486 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 VCC value.
