GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 are ultrafast comparators
fabricated on Analog Devices, Inc.’s proprietary XFCB3 Silicon
Germanium (SiGe) bipolar process. The ADCMP572 features
CML output drivers, and the ADCMP573 features reduced
swing PECL (RSPECL) output drivers.
Both devices offer 150 ps propagation delay and 100 ps
minimum pulse width for 10 Gbps operation with 200 fs RMS
random jitter (RJ). Overdrive and slew rate dispersion is
typically less than 15 ps.
A flexible power supply scheme allows either device to operate
with a single +3.3 V positive supply and a −0.2 V to +1.2 V
input signal range, or with split input/output supplies to
support a wider −0.2 V to +3.2 V input signal range and an
independent range of output levels. 50 Ω on-chip termination
resistors are provided at both inputs with the optional capability
to leave open (on an individual pin basis) for applications
requiring high impedance inputs.
The CML output stage is designed to directly drive 400 mV into
50 Ω transmission lines terminated to between 3.3 V to 5.2 V.
The RSPECL output stage is designed to drive 400 mV into
50 Ω terminated to VCCO − 2 V and is compatible with several
commonly used PECL logic families. The comparator input
stage offers robust protection against large input overdrive, and
the outputs do not phase reverse when the valid input signal
range is exceeded. High speed latch and programmable
hysteresis features are also provided.
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 are available in a 16-lead LFCSP
package.

Equivalent Input Bandwidth assumes a simple first-order response and is calculated with the following formula: BWEQ = 0.22/•(trCOMP2-trIN2), where trIN is the 20/80
transition time of a quasi-Gaussian signal applied to the comparator input and trCOMP is the effective transition time digitized by the comparator.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER/GROUND LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators are very high speed
SiGe devices. Consequently, it is essential to use proper high
speed design techniques to achieve the specified performance.
Of critical importance is the use of low impedance supply
planes, particularly 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 switching currents ensures the best
possible performance in the target application.
stripline techniques are essential to ensure proper transition
times and to prevent output ringing and pulse-width dependant
propagation delay dispersion. For the most timing critical
applications where transmission line reflections pose the
greatest risk to performance, the ADCMP572 provides the best
match to 50 Ω output transmission paths.
VCCO
50Ω
Q
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 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 also be strictly avoided to maximize
the effectiveness of the bypass at high frequencies.

Figure 12. Simplified Schematic Diagram of
the ADCMP572 CML Output Stage
If the input and output supplies are connected separately such
that VCCI ≠ VCCO, then care should be taken to bypass each of
these supplies separately to the GND plane. A bypass capacitor
should not be connected between them. It is recommended that
the GND plane separate the VCCI and VCCO planes when the
circuit board layout is designed to minimize coupling between
the two supplies and to take advantage of the additional bypass
capacitance from each respective supply to the ground plane.
This enhances the performance when split input/output supplies
are used. If the input and output supplies are connected
together for single-supply operation such that VCCI = VCCO, then
coupling between the two supplies is unavoidable; however,
every effort should be made to keep the supply plane adjacent
to the GND plane to maximize the additional bypass capacitance
this arrangement provides.

CML/RSPECL OUTPUT STAGE
USING/DISABLING THE LATCH FEATURE
Specified propagation delay dispersion performance can be
achieved only by using proper transmission line terminations.
The outputs of the ADCMP572 are designed to directly drive
400 mV into 50 Ω cable or microstrip and/or stripline transmission lines properly terminated to the VCCO supply plane. The
CML output stage is shown in the simplified schematic diagram
of Figure 12. The outputs are each back-terminated with 50 Ω
for best transmission line matching. The RSPECL outputs of the
ADCMP573 are illustrated in Figure 13 and should be terminated
to VCCO − 2 V. As an alternative, Thevenin equivalent termination networks may also be used in either case if the direct
termination voltage is not readily available. If high speed output
signals must be routed more than a centimeter, microstrip or
The latch inputs (LE/LE) are active low for latch mode, and are
internally terminated with 50 Ω resistors to Pin 8. This
corresponds to the VCCO supply for the ADCMP572 and the VTT
pin for the ADCMP573. All VCCO pins should be connected to
the supply plane for maximum performance, and the VTT pin
should be connected externally to VCCO – 2 V, preferably to its
own low inductance plane. When using the ADCMP572, the
latch function can be disabled by connecting the LE pin to
GND with an external pull-down resistor and leaving the LE
pin unconnected. To prevent excessive power dissipation, the
resistor should be 750 Ω when VCCO = 3.3 V, and 1.2 kΩ when
VCCO = 5.2 V. When using the ADCMP573 comparator, the latch
can be disabled by connecting the LE pin to VCCO with an

ADCMP572/ADCMP573
Preliminary Technical Data
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 often cause oscillation. Discontinuities along input and
output transmission lines can also severely limit the specified
pulse-width dispersion performance.
For applications working in a 50 Ω environment, input and
output matching has a significant impact on data dependant (or
deterministic) jitter (DJ) and pulse-width dispersion performance. The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators provide
internal 50 Ω termination resistors for both VP and VN inputs,
and the ADCMP572 provides 50 Ω back terminated outputs.
The return side for each input 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, then
the VTP and VTN pins can be connected (or disconnected) to
(from) the desired termination potential as required. The
termination potential should be carefully bypassed using high
quality bypass capacitors as discussed above to prevent undesired
aberrations on the input signal due to parasitic inductance in
the circuit board layout. If a 50 Ω input termination is not
desired, either one or both of the VTP/VTN termination pins can
be left disconnected. In this case, the pins should be left floating
with no external pull-downs or bypassing capacitors.
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators are designed to
reduce propagation delay dispersion over a wide input overdrive
range of 5 mV to 500 mV. Propagation delay dispersion is a
variation in propagation delay that results from a change in the
degree of overdrive or slew rate (how far or how fast the input
signal exceeds the switching threshold).
Propagation delay dispersion is a specification that becomes
important in high speed time critical applications such as data
communication, 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 propagation delay as the input overdrive conditions are changed (Figure 14 and Figure 15). For the
ADCMP572/ADCMP573, dispersion is typically <15 ps because
the overdrive is varied from 10 mV to 500 mV, and the input
slew rate is varied from 2 V/ns to 10 V/ns. This specification
applies for both positive and negative signals since the
ADCMP572/ADCMP573 has substantially equal delays for
either positive-going or negative-going inputs.

DISPERSION
Q/Q OUTPUT
It should be understood that when leaving an input termination
disconnected, the internal resistor acts as a small stub on the
input transmission path and can cause problems for very high
speed inputs. Reflections should then be expected from the
comparator inputs because they no longer provide a matched
impedance to the input path leading to the device. It then
becomes important to back-match the drive source impedance
to the input transmission path to minimize multiple reflections.
For applications in which the comparator is very close to the
driving signal source, the source impedance should be minimized. High source impedance in combination with parasitic
input capacitance of the comparator could cause an undesirable
degradation in bandwidth at the input, thus degrading the overall
response. Although the ADCMP572/ ADCMP573 comparators
have been designed to minimize input capacitance, some parasitic
capacitance is inevitable. It is therefore recommended that the
drive source impedance be no more than 50 Ω for best high
speed performance.

COMPARATOR HYSTERESIS
The addition of hysteresis to a comparator is often desirable in a
noisy environment or when the differential input amplitudes are
relatively small or slow moving. The transfer function for a
comparator with hysteresis is shown in Figure 16. If the input
voltage approaches the threshold (0.0 V in this example) 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 0.0 V input does not cause the
comparator to switch states unless it exceeds the region
bounded by ±VH/2.

HYSTERESIS (mV)
OUTPUT
connecting an external pull-down resistor from the HYS pin to
GND, 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 hysteresis that
can be applied using this method is approximately ±25 mV.
Figure 17 illustrates the amount of hysteresis applied as a
function of external resistor value. The advantages of applying
hysteresis in this manner are improved accuracy, stability, and
reduced component count. An external bypass capacitor is not
recommended on the HYS pin because it would likely degrade
the jitter performance of the device.

MINIMUM INPUT SLEW RATE REQUIREMENT
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
induce oscillation in some cases.
As with all 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.
Analog Devices recommends a minimum slew rate of 50 V/µs
to ensure a clean output transition from the ADCMP572/
ADCMP573 comparators unless hysteresis is programmed as
discussed previously.
The ADCMP572/ADCMP573 comparators offer a
programmable hysteresis feature that can significantly improve
the accuracy and stability of the desired hysteresis. By
