This comparator is exceptionally versatile and easy to use. Features include an input range from −0.2 V to VCC + 0.2 V, low noise, TTL-/CMOScompatible output drivers, and shutdown inputs. The device offers 40 ns propagation delays driving a 15 pF load with 10 mV overdrive on 500 µA typical supply current. A flexible power supply scheme allows the device to operate with a single 2.5 V positive supply with a −0.2 V to + 2.7 V input signal range and up to a 5.5 V positive supply with a −0.2 V to +5.7 V input signal range. The TTL-/CMOS-compatible output stage is designed to drive up to 15 pF with full rated timing specifications and to degrade in a graceful and linear fashion as additional capacitance is added. The input stage of the comparator offers robust protection against large input overdrive, and the outputs do not phase reverse when the valid input signal range is exceeded. The AD8468 is available in a tiny 6-lead SC70 package with a single-ended output and a shutdown pin. Rev. 0 Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

Despite the low noise output stage, it is essential to use proper high speed design techniques to achieve the specified performance. Because comparators are uncompensated amplifiers, feedback in any phase relationship is likely to cause oscillations or undesired hysteresis. Of critical importance is the use of low impedance supply planes, particularly the output supply plane (VCC) 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. TTL-/CMOS-COMPATIBLE OUTPUT STAGE Specified propagation delay performance can be achieved only by keeping the capacitive load at or below the specified minimums. The output of the AD8468 is designed to directly drive one Schottky TTL, three low power Schottky TTL loads, or the equivalent. For large fanouts, buses, or transmission lines, use an appropriate buffer to maintain the excellent speed and stability of the comparator. With the rated 15 pF load capacitance applied, more than half of the total device propagation delay is output stage slew time. Because of this, the total propagation delay decreases as VCC decreases, and instability in the power supply may appear as excess delay dispersion. Delay is measured to the 50% point for whatever supply is in use; thus, the fastest times are observed with the VCC supply at 2.5 V, and larger values are observed when driving loads that switch at other levels. Overdrive and input slew rate dispersions are not significantly affected by output loading and VCC variations. The TTL-/CMOS-compatible output stage is shown in the simplified schematic diagram (see Figure 9). Because of its inherent symmetry and generally good behavior, this output stage is readily adaptable for driving various filters and other unusual loads. Q1 +IN OUTPUT AV –IN A2 GAIN STAGE Q2 OUTPUT STAGE 08853-009 It is also important to adequately bypass the input and output supplies. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VCC supply pin. The capacitor should be connected to the GND plane with redundant vias placed to provide a physically short return path for output currents flowing back from ground to the VCC pin. High frequency bypass capacitors should be carefully selected for minimum inductance and ESR. Parasitic layout inductance should also be strictly controlled to maximize the effectiveness of the bypass at high frequencies. A1 Figure 9. Simplified Schematic Diagram of the TTL-/CMOS-Compatible Output Stage OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE As with any high speed comparator, proper design and layout techniques are essential for obtaining the specified performance. Stray capacitance, inductance, common power and ground impedances, or other layout issues can severely limit performance and can often cause oscillation. The source impedance should be minimized as much as is practicable. High source impedance, in combination with the parasitic input capacitance of the comparator, causes an undesirable degradation in bandwidth at the input, thus degrading the overall response. Higher impedances encourage undesired coupling. COMPARATOR PROPAGATION DELAY DISPERSION The AD8468 comparator is designed to reduce propagation delay dispersion over a wide input overdrive range of 10 mV to VCC – 1 V. Propagation delay dispersion is the 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). See Figure 10 and Figure 11. Propagation delay dispersion is a specification that becomes important in high speed, time-critical applications, such as data communication, automatic test and measurement, and instrumentation. It is also important in event-driven applications, such as pulse spectroscopy, nuclear instrumentation, and medical imaging. AD8468 overdrive dispersion is typically <12 ns as the overdrive varies from 10 mV to 125 mV. This specification applies to both positive and negative signals because the device has very closely matched delays for both positive-going and negative-going inputs and very low output skews. Remember to add the actual device offset to the overdrive for repeatable dispersion measurements.

Propagation Delay—Overdrive Dispersion The AD8468 slightly elaborates on this scheme. Crossover points can be found at approximately 0.8 V and 1.6 V. MINIMUM INPUT SLEW RATE REQUIREMENT INPUT VOLTAGE 1V/ns VN ± VOS DISPERSION 08853-011 10V/ns Q OUTPUT Rail-to-rail inputs of this type, in both op amps and comparators, have a dual front-end design. Certain devices are active near the VCC rail and others are active near the VEE rail or ground. At some predetermined point in the common-mode range, a crossover occurs. At this point, normally VCC/2, the direction of the bias current reverses, and there are changes in measured offset voltages and currents. Figure 11. Propagation Delay—Slew Rate Dispersion With the rated load capacitance and normal good PC board design practice, as discussed in the Optimizing Performance section, these comparators should be stable at any input slew rate with no hysteresis. Broadband noise from the input stage is observed in place of the violent chattering seen with most other high speed comparators. With additional capacitive loading or poor bypassing, oscillation may be encountered. These oscillations are due to the high gain bandwidth of the comparator in combination with feedback through parasitics in the package and PC board. In many applications, chattering is not harmful.
