TIMING INFORMATION 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. The timing diagram for the comparator is shown in figure 1. If LE is high and LE low in the SPT9689, 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 set-up and hold times are a measure of the time required for an input signal to propagate through the first stage of the comparator to reach the latching circuitry. 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. The leading edge of the input signal (which consists of a 20 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 Figure 1 – Timing Diagram Latch Enable 50% Latch Enable tH tpL tS Differential Input Voltage VREF ± VOS VOD t pLOH t pdL Output Q 50% 50% Output Q t pdH t pLOL VIN+=100 mV (p-p), VOD=20 mV SPT9689 3 2/20/01 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 SWITCHING TERMS (Refer to figure 1) tpdH INPUT TO OUTPUT HIGH DELAY – the propagation delay measured from the time the input signal crosses the reference (± the input offset voltage) to the 50% point of an output LOW to HIGH transition tpdL INPUT TO OUTPUT LOW DELAY – the propagation delay measured from the time the input signal crosses the reference (± the input offset voltage) to the 50% point of an output HIGH to LOW transition 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 the 50% point of an output LOW to HIGH transition VOD VOLTAGE OVERDRIVE – the difference between the differential input and reference input voltages tH 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 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 GENERAL INFORMATION The negative common mode voltage is –2.5 V. The positive common mode voltage is +4.0 V. The SPT9689 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. The dual comparators share the same VCC and VEE connections but have separate grounds for each comparator to achieve high crosstalk rejection. The SPT9689 has a complementary latch enable control for each comparator. Both should be driven by standard ECL logic levels.

If the output board traces are longer than approximately half an 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. Both supply voltage pins should be decoupled with high-frequency capacitors as close to the device as possible. All ground pins and no connects should be soldered to a common ground plane to further improve noise immunity. If using the SPT9689 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. 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 noted 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 SPT9689 comparator is a very high-frequency and high-gain device, certain layout rules must be followed to avoid oscillations. The comparator should be soldered to the board with component lead lengths kept as short as possible. A ground plane should be used while the input impedance to the part is kept as low as possible Figure 4 – SPT9689 Typical Interface Circuit with Hysteresis Figure 3 – SPT9689 Typical Interface Circuit +5.0 V 2 V +5.0 V 0 to 200 W ECL 10 µF 0.1 µF 100 pF +VCC VIN + VIN LE LE Q Output GND Q Output VEE VREF + VREF RL 100 pF 100 pF 0.1 µF 10 µF 100 W +VCC LE LE Q Output GND Q Output VEE 50 W 0.1 µF 1.3 V 10 µF 0.1 µF 100 pF RL 50 W 100 pF RL 10 µF 50 W 0.1 µF 10 µF 100 pF 0.1 µF 10 µF RL 50 W 10 F 10 µF 5.2 V 2 V 5.2 V NOTES: 2 V NOTES: Denotes ground plane.
