The output side of the comparator is supplied by a single supply from 2.7V to 5V. The rail-to-rail output swing enables direct connection of the comparator to both CMOS and TTL logic circuits. As with many high speed devices, the supplies must be well bypassed. Elantec recommends a 4.7µF tantalum in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic. These should be placed as close as possible to the supply pins. Keep all leads short to reduce stray capacitance and lead inductance. This will also 7 minimize unwanted parasitic feedback around the comparator. The device should be soldered directly to the PC board instead of using a socket. Use a PC board with a good, unbroken low inductance ground plane. Good ground plane construction techniques enhance stability of the comparator. Input Voltage Considerations The EL5281 input range is specified from 0.1V below VS- to 2.25V below VS+. The criterion for the input limit is that the output still responds correctly to a small differential input signal. The differential input stage is a pair of PNP transistors, therefore, the input bias current flows out of the EL5281 device. When either input signal falls below the negative input voltage limit, the parasitic PN junction formed by the substrate and the base of the PNP will turn on, resulting in a significant increase of input bias current. If one of the inputs goes above the positive input voltage limit, the output will still maintain the correct logic level as long as the other input stays within the input range. However, the propagation delay will increase. When both inputs are outside the input voltage range, the output becomes unpredictable. Large differential voltages greater than the supply voltage should be avoided to prevent damages to the input stage. Inputs of unused channels should not be left floating. They should be driven to a known state. For example, one input can be tied to ground and the other input can be connected to some voltage reference (like ±100mV) to avoid oscillation in the output due to unwanted output to input feedback. Inverting comparator with hysteresis: VREF R3 R2 R1 VIN + - R3 adds a portion of the output to the threshold set by R1 and R2. The calculation of the resistor values are as follows: Select the threshold voltage VTH and calculate R1 and R2. The current through R1/R2 bias string must be many times greater than the input bias current of the comparator: R1 V TH = V REF × --------------------R +R 1 2 Input Slew Rate Most high speed comparators oscillate when the voltage of one of the inputs is close to or equal to the voltage on the other input due to noise or undesirable feedback. For clean output waveform, the input must meet certain minimum slew rate requirements. In some applications, it may be helpful to apply some positive feedback (hysteresis) between the output and the positive input. The hysteresis effectively causes one comparator's input voltage to move quickly past the other, thus taking the input out of the region where oscillation occurs. For the EL5281, the propagation delay increases when the input slew rate increases for low overdrive voltages. With high overdrive voltages, the propagation delay does not change much with the input slew rate. Latch Pin Dynamics The EL5281 contains a “transparent” latch for each channel. The latch pin is designed to be driven with either a TTL or CMOS output. When the latch is connected to a logic high level or left floating, the comparator is transparent and immediately responds to the changes at the input terminals. When the latch is switched to a logic low level, the comparator output remains latched to its value just before the latch’s high-to-low transition. To guarantee data retention, the input signal must remain the same state at least 1ns (hold time) after the latch goes low and at least 2ns (setup time) before the latch goes low. When the latch goes high, the new data will appear at the output in approximately 6ns (latch propagation delay). Let the hysteresis be VH, and calculate R3: VO R 3 = -------- × ( R 1 || R 2 ) VH where: VO=VSD-0.8V (swing of the output) Recalculate R2 to maintain the same value of VTH: V TH V TH – 0.5V SD R 2 1 = ( V REF – V TH ) ÷ ----------- + -------------------------------------- R3 R1 Non inverting comparator with hysteresis: R3 VIN R1 VREF + - R3 adds a portion of the output to the positive input. Note that the current through R3 should be much greater than the input bias current in order to minimize errors. The calculation of the resistor values as follows: Pick the value of R1. R1 should be small (less than 1kΩ) in order to minimize the propagation delay time. Choose the hysteresis VH and calculate R3: R1 R 3 = ( V SD – 0.8 ) × -------V H Hysteresis Hysteresis can be added externally. The following two methods can be used to add hysteresis. Check the current through R3 and make sure that it is much greater than the input bias current as follows: 0.5V SD – V REF I = ----------------------------------------R3 8 EL5281 These two methods will generate hysteresis of up to a few hundred millivolts. Beyond that, the impedance of R3 is low enough to affect the bias string and adjustment of R1 may be required. changes state. The non-inverting and inverting inputs may be reversed. + - VIN VREF Power Dissipation When switching at high speeds, the comparator's drive capability is limited by the rise in junction temperature caused by the internal power dissipation. For reliable operation, the junction temperature must be kept below TJMAX (125°C). An approximate equation for the device power dissipation is as follows. Assume the power dissipation in the load is very small: P DISS = ( V S × I S + V SD × I SD ) × N where: VS is the analog supply voltage from VS+ to VSIS is the analog quiescent supply current per comparator VSD is the digital supply voltage from VSD to ground ISD is the digital supply current per comparator N is the number of comparators in the package ISD strongly depends on the input switching frequency. Please refer to the performance curve to choose the input driving frequency. Having obtained the power dissipation, the maximum junction temperature can be determined as follows: T JMAX = T MAX + Θ JA × P DISS VOUT Crystal Oscillator A simple crystal oscillator using one comparator of an EL5281 is shown below. The resistors R1 and R2 set the bias point at the comparator's non-inverting input. Resistors R3, R4, and C1 set the inverting input node at an appropriate DC average voltage based on the output. The crystal's path provides resonant positive feedback and stable oscillation occurs. Although the EL5281 will give the correct logic output when an input is outside the common mode range, additional delays may occur when it is so operated. Therefore, the DC bias voltages at the inputs are set about 500mV below the center of the common mode range and the 200Ω resistor attenuates the feedback to the non-inverting input. The circuit will operate with most AT-cut crystal from 1MHz to 8MHz over a 2V to 7V supply range. The output duty cycle for this circuit is roughly 50% at 5V VCC, but it is affected by the tolerances of the resistors. The duty cycle can be adjusted by changing VCC value. 5V 200Ω R1 5kΩ R2 1.5kΩ 1MHz to 8MHz + - VOUT R3 C1 R4 0.01µF 2kΩ 2kΩ where: TMAX is the maximum ambient temperature θJA is the thermal resistance of the package Threshold Detector The inverting input is connected to a reference voltage and the non-inverting input is connected to the input.
