COMPARATORS - SMT
The HMC675LP3E is a SiGe monolithic, ultra fast
comparator that features reduced swing (RS) CML
output drivers and latch inputs. The comparator
supports 10 Gbps operation while providing 100 ps
propagation delay and 60 ps minimum pulse width with
0.2 ps rms random jitter (RJ). Overdrive and slew rate
dispersion are typically 10 ps, making the device ideal
for a wide range of applications from ATE to broadband
communications. The reduced swing CML output stage
is designed to directly drive 400 mV into 50 ohms
terminated to GND. The HMC675LP3E features high
speed latch and programmable hysteresis and may
be congured to operate in either latch mode, or as a
tracking comparator.

HMC675LP3E
v02.0312 10 GHz LATCHED COMPARATOR
WITH RSCML OUTPUT STAGE
The HMC675LP3E is a Latched Comparator with 10 GHz equivalent input bandwidth. The device is comprised of three
blocks: 1) An input amplier, 2) A latch, and 3) An RSCML Output Buffer. The latching circuit is level sensitive, and
consists of a single high-speed latch. The HMC675LP3E comparator supports 10 Gb/s operation. The minimum input
data latching pulse width is 60 ps.
The HMC675LP3E operates in either Track (Transparent) Mode, where the output follows the logical value of the input, or
the Latch (Hold) Mode, where the output value is held to the logical value of the comparison result of the input just prior
to (LE - LE_bar) going HI. Track Mode operation is selected by either 1) (LE - LE_bar) LO, or 2) LE and LE_bar inputs
oating. Latch Mode is selected by (LE - LE_bar) HI. The input impedance of the LE and LE_bar inputs is 8 k ohms, but
these inputs can be terminated with 50 ohm external resistors if desired.
When DC coupled, the clock inputs operate at an input common mode voltage of 2 V. In this case, any termination
resistors would ideally be returned to 2 V. If the clock is AC coupled to the device, the input termination resistors can be
returned to ground.

The circuit board used in the application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground
leads should be connected directly to the ground
plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of
via holes should be used to connect the top and
bottom ground planes in order to provide good RF
grounding to 25 GHz. The evaluation circuit board
