The ADCMP580 features CML output drivers, the ADCMP581 features reduced swing ECL (negative ECL) output drivers, and the ADCMP582 features reduced swing PECL (positive ECL) output drivers. All three comparators offer 180 ps propagation delay and 100 ps minimum pulse width for 10 Gbps operation with 200 fs random jitter (RJ). Overdrive and slew rate dispersion are typically less than 15 ps. The CML output stage is designed to directly drive 400 mV into 50 Ω transmission lines terminated to ground. The NECL output stages are designed to directly drive 400 mV into 50 Ω terminated to −2 V. The PECL output stages are designed to directly drive 400 mV into 50 Ω terminated to VCCO − 2 V. High speed latch and programmable hysteresis are also provided. The differential latch input controls are also 50 Ω terminated to an independent VTT pin to interface to either CML or ECL or to PECL logic. The ADCMP580/ADCMP581/ADCMP582 are available in a 16-lead LFCSP_VQ. The ±5 V power supplies enable a wide −2 V to +3 V input range with logic levels referenced to the CML/NECL/PECL outputs. The inputs have 50 Ω on-chip termination resistors with the optional capability to be left open (on an individual pin basis) for applications requiring high impedance input. Rev.

A | Page 10 of 16 ADCMP580/ADCMP581/ADCMP582 APPLICATION INFORMATION GND POWER/GROUND LAYOUT AND BYPASSING The ADCMP58x family of comparators is designed for very high speed applications. Consequently, high speed design techniques must be used to achieve the specified performance. It is critically important to use low impedance supply planes, particularly for the negative supply (VEE), the output supply plane (VCCO), and the ground plane (GND). Individual supply planes are recommended as part of a multilayer board. Providing the lowest inductance return path for the switching currents ensures the best possible performance in the target application. 50Ω Q Q 16mA VEE 04672-024 It is also important to adequately bypass the input and output supplies. A 1 μF electrolytic bypass capacitor should be placed within several inches of each power supply pin to ground. In addition, multiple high quality 0.1 μF bypass capacitors should be placed as close as possible to each of the VEE, VCCI, and VCCO supply pins and should be connected to the GND plane with redundant vias. High frequency bypass capacitors should be carefully selected for minimum inductance and ESR. Parasitic layout inductance should be strictly avoided to maximize the effectiveness of the bypass at high frequencies. 50Ω Figure 24. Simplified Schematic Diagram of the ADCMP580 CML Output Stage GND/VCCO Q ADCMP58x FAMILY OF OUTPUT STAGES VEE 04672-025 Q Specified propagation delay dispersion performance is achieved by using proper transmission line terminations. The outputs of the ADCMP580 family comparators are designed to directly drive 400 mV into 50 Ω cable or microstrip/stripline transmission lines terminated with 50 Ω referenced to the proper return. The CML output stage for the ADCMP580 is shown in the simplified schematic diagram in Figure 24. Each output is back-terminated with 50 Ω for best transmission line matching. The outputs of the ADCMP581/ADCMP582 are illustrated in Figure 25; they should be terminated to −2 V for ECL outputs of ADCMP581 and VCCO − 2 V for PECL outputs of ADCMP582. As an alternative, Thevenin equivalent termination networks can also be used. If these high speed signals must be routed more than a centimeter, either microstrip or stripline techniques are required to ensure proper transition times and to prevent excessive output ringing and pulse width-dependent propagation delay dispersion. Figure 25. Simplified Schematic Diagram of the ADCMP581/ADCMP582 ECL/PECL Output Stage USING/DISABLING THE LATCH FEATURE The latch inputs (LE/LE) are active low for latch mode and are internally terminated with 50 Ω resistors to the VTT pin. When using the ADCMP580, VTT should be connected to ground. When using the ADCMP581, VTT should be connected to −2 V. When using the ADCMP582, VTT should be connected externally to VCCO − 2 V, preferably with its own low inductance plane. When using the ADCMP580, the latch function can be disabled by connecting the LE pin to VEE with an external pull-down resistor and by leaving the LE pin to ground. To prevent excessive power dissipation, the resistor should be 1 kΩ for the ADCMP580. When using the ADCMP581 comparators, the latch can be disabled by connecting the LE pin to VEE with an external 750 Ω resistor and leaving the LE pin connected to −2 V. The idea is to create an approximate 0.5 V offset using the internal resistor as half of the voltage divider. The VTT pin should be connected as recommended. Rev. A | Page 11 of 16 ADCMP580/ADCMP581/ADCMP582 OPTIMIZING HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE COMPARATOR PROPAGATION DELAY DISPERSION As with any high speed comparator, proper design and layout techniques are essential to obtaining the specified performance. Stray capacitance, inductance, inductive power, and ground impedances or other layout issues can severely limit performance and can cause oscillation. Discontinuities along input and output transmission lines can also severely limit the specified pulse width dispersion performance. The ADCMP58x family of comparators has been specifically designed to reduce propagation delay dispersion over a wide input overdrive range of 5 mV to 500 mV. Propagation delay dispersion is a change in propagation delays that results from a change in the degree of overdrive or slew rate (how far or fast the input signal exceeds the switching threshold). The overall result is a higher degree of timing accuracy. For applications in a 50 Ω environment, input and output matching have a significant impact on data-dependent (or deterministic) jitter (DJ) and pulse width dispersion performance. The ADCMP58x family of comparators provides internal 50 Ω termination resistors for both VP and VN inputs. The return side for each termination is pinned out separately with the VTP and VTN pins, respectively. If a 50 Ω termination is desired at one or both of the VP/VN inputs, the VTP and VTN pins can be connected (or disconnected) to (from) the desired termination potential as appropriate. The termination potential should be carefully bypassed using ceramic capacitors as discussed previously to prevent undesired aberrations on the input signal due to parasitic inductance in the termination return path. If a 50 Ω termination is not desired, either one or both of the VTP/VTN termination pins can be left disconnected. In this case, the open pins should be left floating with no external pull downs or bypassing capacitors. Propagation delay dispersion is a specification that becomes important in critical timing applications, such as data communications, automatic test and measurement, instrumentation, and event-driven applications, such as pulse spectroscopy, nuclear instrumentation, and medical imaging. Dispersion is defined as the variation in the overall propagation delay as the input overdrive conditions are changed (see Figure 26 and Figure 27). For the ADCMP58x family of comparators, dispersion is typically <25 ps, because the overdrive varies from 5 mV to 500 mV, and the input slew rate varies from 1 V/ns to 10 V/ns. This specification applies for both positive and negative signals because the ADCMP58x family of comparators has almost equal delays for positive- and negative-going inputs.

Propagation Delay—Overdrive Dispersion INPUT VOLTAGE 1V/ns VN ± VOS 10V/ns DISPERSION Q/Q OUTPUT 04672-027 For applications that require high speed operation but do not have on-chip 50 Ω termination resistors, some reflections should be expected, because the comparator inputs can no longer provide matched impedance to the input trace leading up to the device. It then becomes important to back-match the drive source impedance to the input transmission path leading to the input to minimize multiple reflections. For applications in which the comparator is less than 1 cm from the driving signal source, the source impedance should be minimized. High source impedance in combination with parasitic input capacitance of the comparator could cause undesirable degradation in bandwidth at the input, thus degrading the overall response. It is therefore recommended that the drive source impedance should be no more than 50 Ω for best high speed performance. 500mV OVERDRIVE Figure 27. Propagation Delay—Slew Rate Dispersion Rev. A | Page 12 of 16 ADCMP580/ADCMP581/ADCMP582 Adding hysteresis to a comparator is often desirable in a noisy environment or when the differential inputs are very small or slow moving. The transfer function for a comparator with hysteresis is shown in Figure 28. If the input voltage approaches the threshold from the negative direction, the comparator switches from a low to a high when the input crosses +VH/2. The new switching threshold becomes −VH/2. The comparator remains in the high state until the threshold −VH/2 is crossed from the positive direction. In this manner, noise centered on 0 V input does not cause the comparator to switch states unless it exceeds the region bounded by ±VH/2. The customary technique for introducing hysteresis into a comparator uses positive feedback from the output back to the input. A limitation of this approach is that the amount of hysteresis varies with the output logic levels, resulting in hysteresis that is not symmetric about the threshold. The external feedback network can also introduce significant parasitics that reduce high speed performance and can even reduce overall stability in some cases. –VH 2 70 60 50 40 30 20 1 10 100 1k 10k RHYS CONTROL RESISTOR (Ω) 04672-029 0 Figure 29. Comparator Hysteresis vs. RHYS Control Resistor MINIMUM INPUT SLEW RATE REQUIREMENT As with many high speed comparators, a minimum slew rate requirement must be met to ensure that the device does not oscillate as the input signal crosses the threshold. This oscillation is due in part to the high input bandwidth of the comparator and the feedback parasitics inherent in the package. A minimum slew rate of 50 V/μs should ensure clean output transitions from the ADCMP58x family of comparators.

It is biased approximately 400 mV above VEE and has an internal series resistance of approximately 600 Ω. COMPARATOR HYSTERESIS (mV) COMPARATOR HYSTERESIS Figure 28. Comparator Hysteresis Transfer Function The ADCMP58x family of comparators offers a programmable hysteresis feature that can significantly improve the accuracy and stability of the desired hysteresis. By connecting an external pull-down resistor from the HYS pin to VEE, a variable amount of hysteresis can be applied. Leaving the HYS pin disconnected disables the feature, and hysteresis is then less than 1 mV, as specified. The maximum range of hysteresis that can be applied by using this method is approximately ±70 mV. The slew rate may be too slow for other reasons. The extremely high bandwidth of these devices means that broadband noise can be a significant factor when input slew rates are low. There is 120 μV of thermal noise generated over the bandwidth of the comparator by the two 50 Ω terminations at room temperature. With a slew rate of only 50 V/μs, the inputs are inside this noise band for over 2 ps, rendering the comparator’s jitter performance of 200 fs irrelevant. Raising the slew rate of the input signal and/or reducing the bandwidth over which that resistance is seen at the input can greatly reduce jitter. Devices are not characterized this way but simply bypassing a reference input close to the package can reduce jitter 30% in low slew rate applications. Figure 29 illustrates the amount of applied hysteresis as a function of the external resistor value. The advantage of applying hysteresis in this manner is improved accuracy, stability, and reduced component count. An external bypass capacitor is not required on the HYS pin, and it would likely degrade the jitter performance of the device. Rev.
