TEST LEVEL TEST LEVEL CODES All electrical characteristics are subject to the following conditions: All parameters having min/max specifications are guaranteed. The Test Level column indicates the specific device testing actually performed during production and Quality Assurance inspection. Any blank section in the data column indicates that the specification is not tested at the specified condition. TEST PROCEDURE I 100% production tested at the specified temperature. II 100% production tested at TA=25 °C, and sample tested at the specified temperatures. III QA sample tested only at the specified temperatures. IV Parameter is guaranteed (but not tested) by design and characterization data. V Parameter is a typical value for information purposes only. VI 100% production tested at TA = 25 °C. Parameter is guaranteed over specified temperature range. Unless otherwise noted, all tests are pulsed tests; therefore, TJ = TC = TA.

Input signals occurring before ts will be detected and held; those occurring after tH will not be detected. Changes between ts and tH may not be detected. SPT9687 3 3/21/97 SWITCHING TERMS (Refer to figure 1) GENERAL INFORMATION tpdH INPUT TO OUTPUT HIGH DELAY - The propagation delay measured from the time the input signal crosses the reference voltage (± the input offset voltage) to the 50% point of an output LOW to HIGH transition. The SPT9687 is an ultrahigh-speed dual voltage comparator. It offers tight absolute characteristics. The device has differential analog inputs and complementary logic outputs compatible with ECL systems. The output stage is adequate for driving terminated 50 ohm transmission lines. tpdL INPUT TO OUTPUT LOW DELAY - The propagation delay measured from the time the input signal crosses the reference voltage (± the input offset voltage) to the 50% point of an output HIGH to LOW transition. The SPT9687 has a complementary latch enable control for each comparator. Both should be driven by standard ECL logic levels. The dual comparator shares the same VCC and VEE connections but have separate grounds for each comparator to achieve high crosstalk rejection. tpLOH LATCH ENABLE TO OUTPUT HIGH DELAY - The propagation delay measured from the 50% point of the Latch Enable signal LOW to HIGH transition to 50% point of an output LOW to HIGH transition. Figure 2 - Internal Functional Diagram VOD VOLTAGE OVERDRIVE - The difference between the differential input and the reference voltages. Q + VIN tpLOL LATCH ENABLE TO OUTPUT LOW DELAY - The propagation delay measured from the 50% point of the Latch Enable signal LOW to HIGH transition to the 50% point of an output HIGH to LOW transition. tH MINIMUM LATCH ENABLE PULSE WIDTH - The minimum time that the Latch Enable signal must be HIGH in order to acquire an input signal change. tS MINIMUM SET-UP TIME - The minimum time before the negative transition of the Latch Enable signal that an input signal change must be present in order to be acquired and held at the outputs. ECL OUT LATCH Q REF 1 MINIMUM HOLD TIME - The minimum time after the negative transition of the Latch Enable signal that the input signal must remain unchanged in order to be acquired and held at the outputs. tpL - VIN PRE AMP VEE REF 2 VCC CLK BUF GND1 LE LE GND2 TYPICAL INTERFACE CIRCUIT The typical interface circuit using the comparator is shown in figure 3. Although it needs few external components and is easy to apply, there are several conditions that should be met to achieve optimal performance. The very high operating speeds of the comparator require careful layout, decoupling of supplies, and proper design of transmission lines. Since the SPT9687 comparator is a very high frequency and high gain device, certain layout rules must be followed to avoid spurious oscillations. The comparator should be soldered to the board with component lead lengths kept as short as possible. A ground plane should be used, and the input impedance to the part should be kept as low as possible to decrease parasitic feedback. If the output board traces are longer than approximately one-half inch, microstripline techniques must be employed to prevent ringing on the output waveform. Also, the microstriplines must be terminated at the far end with the characteristic impedance of the line to prevent reflections. All supply voltage pins should be decoupled with high frequency capacitors as close to the device as possible. All ground and N/C pins should be connected to the same ground plane to further improve noise immunity and shielding. If using the SPT9687 as a single comparator, the outputs of the inactive comparator can be grounded, left open or terminated with 50 Ohms to -2 V. All outputs on the active comparator, whether used or unused, should have identical terminations to minimize ground current switching transients. TIMING INFORMATION The timing diagram for the comparator is shown in figure 1. The latch enable (LE) pulse is shown at the top. If LE is high and LE low in the SPT9687, the comparator tracks the input difference voltage. When LE is driven low and LE high, the comparator outputs are latched into their existing logic states. The leading edge of the input signal (which consists of a 50 mV overdrive voltage) changes the comparator output after a time of tpdL or tpdH (Q or Q ). The input signal must be maintained for a time ts (set-up time) before the LE falling edge and LE rising edge and held for time tH after the falling edge for the comparator to accept data. After tH, the output ignores the input status until the latch is strobed again. A minimum latch pulse width of tpL is needed for strobe operation, and the output transitions occur after a time of tpLOH or tpLOL. Note: To ensure proper power up of the device, the input should be kept below +1.5 V during power up.
