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 EL5285C can be used to hold the comparator
output value by applying a low logic level to the pin. The EL5285C
features two separate comparators
The EL5285C is available in the 14-pin SO package and is specified
for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Also
available are a single (EL5185C) and quad versions (EL5485C and
EL5486C.)

Applications Information
Power Supplies and Circuit Layout
imum 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
EL5285C, 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.
The EL5285C 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.
Latch Pin Dynamics
The EL5285C 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 highto-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).
Input Voltage Considerations
The EL5285C’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.
Hysteresis
Hysteresis can be added externally. The following two
methods can be used to add hysteresis.

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:
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 min8
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.
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:

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).
Let the hysteresis be VH, and calculate R3:

An approximate equation for the device power dissipation is as follows. Assume the power dissipation in the
load is very small:
where:
VO=VSD-0.8V (swing of the output)
Recalculate R2 to maintain the same value of VTH:

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:
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:
T JMAX = T MAX + Θ JA × P DISS
Pick the value of R1. R1 should be small (less than 1kΩ)
in order to minimize the propagation delay time.

Crystal Oscillator
A simple crystal oscillator using one comparator of an
EL5285C 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 EL5285C
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.
