The LT®1011 is a general purpose comparator with significantly better input characteristics than the LM111.
Although pin compatible with the LM111, it offers four
times lower bias current, six times lower offset voltage
and five times higher voltage gain. Offset voltage drift,
a previously unspecified parameter, is guaranteed at
15µV/°C. Additionally, the supply current is lower by
a factor of two with no loss in speed. The LT1011 is
several times faster than the LM111 when subjected to
large overdrive conditions. It is also fully specified for DC
parameters and response time when operating on a single
5V supply. The LT1011 retains all the versatile features of
the LM111, including single 3V to ±18V supply operation,
and a floating transistor output with 50mA source/sink
capability. It can drive loads referenced to ground, negative supply or positive supply, and is specified up to 50V
between V– and the collector output. A differential input
voltage up to the full supply voltage is allowed, even with
±18V supplies, enabling the inputs to be clamped to the
supplies with simple diode clamps.

*Indicates parameters which are guaranteed for all supply voltages, including a single 5V supply. See Note 5.
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: Inputs may be clamped to supplies with diodes so that
maximum input voltage actually exceeds supply voltage by one diode
drop. See Input Protection in the Applications Information section.
Note 3: TJMAX = 150°C.
Note 4: Output is sinking 1.5mA with VOUT = 0V.
Note 5: These specifications apply for all supply voltages from a single
5V to ±15V, the entire input voltage range, and for both high and low
output states. The high state is ISINK = 100µA, VOUT = (V+ – 1V) and
the low state is ISINK = 8mA, VOUT = 0.8V. Therefore, this specification
defines a worst-case error band that includes effects due to common
mode signals, voltage gain and output load.
Note 6: Drift is calculated by dividing the offset voltage difference
measured at min and max temperatures by the temperature difference.
Note 7: Response time is measured with a 100mV step and 5mV
overdrive. The output load is a 500Ω resistor tied to 5V. Time
measurement is taken when the output crosses 1.4V.
Note 8: Do not short the STROBE pin to ground. It should be current
driven at 3mA to 5mA for the shortest strobe time. Currents as low
as 500µA will strobe the LT1011A if speed is not important. External
leakage on the STROBE pin in excess of 0.2µA when the strobe is “off”
can cause offset voltage shifts.
Note 9: See graph “Input Offset Voltage vs Common Mode Voltage.”

Applications Information
Preventing Oscillation Problems
Oscillation problems in comparators are nearly always
caused by stray capacitance between the output and
inputs or between the output and other sensitive pins
on the comparator. This is especially true with high
gain bandwidth comparators like the LT1011, which are
designed for fast switching with millivolt input signals.
The gain bandwidth product of the LT1011 is over 10GHz.
Oscillation problems tend to occur at frequencies around
5MHz, where the LT1011 has a gain of ≈2000. This implies
that attenuation of output signals must be at least 2000:1 at
5MHz as measured at the inputs. If the source impedance
is 1kΩ, the effective stray capacitance between output and
input must have a reactance of more than (2000)(1kΩ) =
2MΩ, or less than 0.02pF. The actual interlead capacitance
between input and output pins on the LT1011 is less than
0.002pF when cut to printed circuit mount length. Additional
stray capacitance due to printed circuit traces must be
minimized by routing the output trace directly away from
input lines and, if possible, running ground traces next
to input traces to provide shielding. Additional steps to
ensure oscillation-free operation are:
1. Bypass the STROBE/BALANCE pins with a 0.01µF capacitor connected from Pin 5 to Pin 6. This eliminates stray
capacitive feedback from the output to the BALANCE
pins, which are nearly as sensitive as the inputs.
2.Bypass the negative supply (Pin 4) with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor close to the comparator. 0.1µF can also be
used for the positive supply (Pin 8) if the pull-up load
is tied to a separate supply. When the pull-up load is
tied directly to Pin 8, use a 2µF solid tantalum bypass
capacitor.
3.Bypass any slow moving or DC input with a capacitor (≥0.01µF) close to the comparator to reduce high
frequency source impedance.
4.Keep resistive source impedance as low as possible. If
a resistor is added in series with one input to balance
source impedances for DC accuracy, bypass it with a
capacitor. The low input bias current of the LT1011
usually eliminates any need for source resistance balancing. A 5kΩ imbalance, for instance, will create only
0.25mV DC offset.
5.Use hysteresis. This consists of shifting the input offset
voltage of the comparator when the output changes
state. Hysteresis forces the comparator to move quickly
through its linear region, eliminating oscillations by
“overdriving” the comparator under all input conditions.
Hysteresis may be either AC or DC. AC techniques do
not shift the apparent offset voltage of the comparator, but require a minimum input signal slew rate to be
effective. DC hysteresis works for all input slew rates,
but creates a shift in offset voltage dependent on the
previous condition of the input signal. The circuit shown
in Figure 1 is an excellent compromise between AC and
DC hysteresis.

LT1011/LT1011A
Applications Information
Note that at low frequencies, the error is simply the
DC hysteresis, while at high frequencies, an additional error is created by the AC hysteresis. The high
frequency error can be reduced by reducing CH, but
lower values may not provide clean switching with very
low slew rate input signals.
Input Protection
The inputs to the LT1011 are particularly suited to general
purpose comparator applications because large differential
and/or common mode voltages can be tolerated without
damage to the comparator. Either or both inputs can be
raised 40V above the negative supply, independent of the
positive supply voltage. Internal forward biased diodes
will conduct when the inputs are taken below the negative
supply. In this condition, input current must be limited to
1mA. If very large (fault) input voltages must be accommodated, series resistors and clamp diodes should be
used (see Figure 3).

C8 TO C6 = 0.003µF

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (mV)
This circuit is especially useful for general purpose
comparator applications because it does not force
any signals directly back onto the input signal source.
Instead, it takes advantage of the unique properties
of the BALANCE pins to provide extremely fast, clean
output switching even with low frequency input signals
in the millivolt range. The 0.003µF capacitor from Pin
6 to Pin 8 generates AC hysteresis because the voltage
on the BALANCE pins shifts slightly, depending on the
state of the output. Both pins move about 4mV. If one
pin (6) is bypassed, AC hysteresis is created. It is only
a few millivolts referred to the inputs, but is sufficient
to switch the output at nearly the maximum speed of
which the comparator is capable. To prevent problems
from low values of input slew rate, a slight amount of DC
hysteresis is also used. The sensitivity of the BALANCE
pins to current is about 0.5mV input referred offset for
each microampere of BALANCE pin current. The 15M
resistor tied from OUTPUT to Pin 5 generates 0.5mV DC
hysteresis. The combination of AC and DC hysteresis
creates clean oscillation-free switching with very small
input errors. Figure 2 plots input referred error versus
switching frequency for the circuit as shown.

LT1011/LT1011A
Applications Information
The input resistors should limit fault current to a reasonable
value (0.1mA to 20mA). Power dissipation in the resistors must be considered for continuous faults, especially
when the LT1011 supplies are off. One final caution: lightly
loaded supplies may be forced to higher voltages by large
fault currents flowing through D1-D4.
15V

The response time of a comparator is typically measured
with a 100mV step and a 5mV to 10mV overdrive. Unfortunately, this does not simulate many real world situations
where the step size is typically much larger and overdrive
can be significantly less. In the case of the LT1011, step
size is important because the slew rate of internal nodes
will limit response time for input step sizes larger than
1V. At 5V step size, for instance, response time increases
from 150ns to 360ns. See the curve “Response Time vs
Input Step Size for more detail.
If response time is critical and large input signals are expected, clamp diodes across the inputs are recommended.
The slew rate limitation can also affect performance when
differential input voltage is low, but both inputs must
slew quickly. Maximum suggested common mode slew
rate is 10V/µs.

level inputs. A 1pF capacitor between the output and Pin
5 will greatly reduce oscillation problems without reducing strobe speed.
DC hysteresis can also be added by placing a resistor
from the output to Pin 5. See step 5 under “Preventing
Oscillation Problems.”
The pin (6) used for strobing is also one of the offset adjust
pins. Current flow into or out of Pin 6 must be kept very
low (< 0.2µA) when not strobing to prevent input offset
voltage shifts.
Output Transistor
The LT1011 output transistor is truly floating in the sense
that no current flows into or out of either the collector
or emitter when the transistor is in the “off” state. The
equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 5.
V+
Strobing
The LT1011 can be strobed by pulling current out of the
STROBE pin. The output transistor is forced to an “off”
state, giving a “hi” output at the collector (Pin 7). Currents
as low as 250µA will cause strobing, but at low strobe
currents, strobe delay will be 200ns to 300ns. If strobe
current is increased to 3mA, strobe delay drops to about
60ns. The voltage at the STROBE pin is about 150mV below
V+ at zero strobe current and about 2V below V+ for 3mA
strobe current. Do not ground the STROBE pin. It must
be current driven. Figure 4 shows a typical strobe circuit.
Note that there is no bypass capacitor between Pins 5 and
6. This maximizes strobe speed, but leaves the comparator more sensitive to oscillation problems for slow, low

R3 and R4 limit input current to the LT1011 to less than
1mA when the input signals are held below V –. They may
be eliminated if R1 and R2 are large enough to limit fault
current to less than 1mA.

Applications Information
is tied to V+, the voltage at the emitter in the “on” state is
about 2V below V+ (see curves).
In the “off” state, I1 is switched off and both Q1 and Q2
turn off. The collector of Q2 can be now held at any voltage
above V – without conducting current, including voltages
above the positive supply level. Maximum voltage above
V– is 50V for the LT1011M and 40V for the LT1011C/I.
The emitter can be held at any voltage between V+ and
V– as long as it is negative with respect to the collector.
Input Signal Range
The common mode input voltage range of the LT1011 is
about 300mV above the negative supply and 1.5V below the
positive supply, independent of the actual supply voltages
(see curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics). This
is the voltage range over which the output will respond
correctly when the common mode voltage is applied to
one input and a higher or lower signal is applied to the
remaining input. If one input is inside the common mode
range and one is outside, the output will be correct. If the
inputs are outside the common mode range in opposite
directions, the output will still be correct. If both inputs are
outside the common mode range in the same direction,
the output will not respond to the differential input; for
temperatures of 25°C and above, the output will remain
unconditionally high (collector output), for temperatures
below 25°C, the output becomes undefined.
In the “on” state, I1 is connected, turning on Q1 and Q2.
Diodes D1 and D2 prevent deep saturation of Q2 to improve
speed and also limit the drive current of Q1. The R1/R2
divider sets the saturation voltage of Q2 and provides turnoff drive. Either the collector or emitter pin can be held at
a voltage between V+ and V–. This allows the remaining
pin to drive the load. In typical applications, the emitter is
connected to V– or ground and the collector drives a load
tied to V+ or a separate positive supply.
When the emitter is used as the output, the collector is
typically tied to V + and the load is connected to ground
or V–. Note that the emitter output is phase reversed with
respect to the collector output so that the “+” and “–”
input designations must be reversed. When the collector
