This design maintains the excellent DC matching characteristics normally found only in slower comparators. The device is pin-compatible with the AD9685 and Am6685, but exceeds their AC characteristics. The MAX9685 has differential inputs and complementary outputs that are fully compatible with ECL-logic levels. Output current levels are capable of driving 50Ω terminated transmission lines. The ultra-fast operation makes signal processing possible at frequencies in excess of 600MHz. A latch-enable (LE) function is provided to allow the comparator to be used in a sample-hold mode. When LE is ECL high, the comparator functions normally. When LE is driven ECL low, the outputs are forced to an unambiguous ECL-logic state, dependent on the input conditions at the time of the latch input transition. If the latch-enable function is not used, the LE pin must be connected to ground.

Note 2: VIN = 100mV, VOD = 10mV __________Applications Information Layout Because of the MAX9685’s large gain-bandwidth characteristic, special precautions need to be taken if its high-speed capabilities are to be used. A PC board with a ground plane is mandatory. Mount all decoupling capacitors as close to the power-supply pins as possible, and process the ECL outputs in microstrip fashion, consistent with the load termination of 50Ω to 120Ω. For low-impedance applications, microstrip layout at the input may also be helpful. Pay close attention to the bandwidth of the decoupling and terminating components. Chip components can be used to minimize lead inductance. An unused LE pin must be connected to ground. Input Slew-Rate Requirements As with all high-speed comparators, the high gainbandwidth product of these devices creates oscillation problems when the input traverses through the linear region. For clean switching without oscillation or steps in the output waveform, the input must meet certain minimum slew-rate requirements. The tendency of the part to oscillate is a function of the layout and source impedance of the circuit employed. Poor layout and larger source impedance will increase the minimum slew-rate requirement. Figure 1 shows a high-speed receiver application with 50Ω input and output termination. With this configuration, in which a ground plane and microstrip PC board were used, the minimum slew rate for clean output switching is 1.6V/µs. Sine-wave inputs imply a minimum signal size of 360mV RMS at 500kHz and 90mVRMS at 4MHz. E RMS = Slew Rate 2 2nf In many applications, the addition of regenerative feedback will assist the input signal through the linear region, which will lower the minimum slew-rate requirement considerably. For example, with the addition of positive feedback components R f = 1kΩ and C f = 10pF, the minimum slew-rate requirement can be reduced by a factor of four. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 MAX9685 SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS MAX9685 Ultra-Fast ECL-Output Comparator with Latch Enable INPUT 20mV/div VIN OUTPUT 500mV/div 2ns/div 50Ω LE INPUT 50Ω -2V 50Ω Rf Cf 50Ω OUTPUT -0V -0.9V -1.7V Figure 1. Regenerative Feedback. High-speed receiver with 50Ω input and output termination. Figure 2. As a high-speed receiver, the MAX9685 is capable of processing signals in excess of 600MHz. Figure 2 is a 100MHz example with an input signal level of 14mVRMS. The timing diagram (Figure 3) illustrates the series of events that complete the compare function, under worst-case conditions. The top line of the diagram illustrates two latch-enable pulses. Each pulse is high for the compare function and low for the latch function. The first pulse demonstrates the compare function; part of the input action takes place during the compare mode. The second pulse demonstrates a compare-function interval during which there is no change in the input. The leading edge of the input signal (illustrated as a large-amplitude, small-overdrive pulse) switches the comparator after time interval tpd. Output Q and Q transistors are similar in timing. The input signal must occur at time ts before the latch falling edge, and it must be maintained for time th after the edge to be acquired. After th, the output is no longer affected by the input status until the latch is again strobed. A minimum latch pulse width of t pw (E) is needed for the strobe operation, and the output transitions occur after a time tpd(E). tpd- Definition of Terms VOS VIN VOD tpd+ 4 Input Offset Voltage—The voltage required between the input terminals to obtain 0V differential at the output. Input Voltage Pulse Amplitude Input Voltage Overdrive Input to Output High Delay—The propagation delay measured from the time the input signal crosses the input offset voltage to the 50% point of an output low-to-high transition.
