These comparators are exceptionally versatile and easy to use. Features include an input range from VEE - 0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V, low noise TTL-/CMOS-compatible output drivers, and latch inputs with adjustable hysteresis and/or shutdown inputs. The devices offer 3 ns propagation delay with 5 mV overdrive on 4 mA typical supply current. A flexible power supply scheme allows the devices to operate with a single +2.5 V positive supply and a -0.5 V to +3.0 V input signal range up to a +5.5 V positive supply with a -0.5 V to +6 V input signal range. Split input/output supplies with no sequencing restrictions on the ADCMP602 support a wide input signal range while still allowing independent output swing control and power savings. The TTL-/CMOS-compatible output stage is designed to drive up to 5 pF with full timing specs and to degrade in a graceful and linear fashion as additional capacitance is added. 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 with a unique single-pin control option. The ADCMP600 is available in both 5-lead SC70 and SOT-23 packages, the ADCMP601 is available in a 6-lead SC70 package, and the ADCMP602 is available in 8-lead MSOP and LSCFP packages. Rev.

PrA | Page 8 of 16 Preliminary Technical Data ADCMP600/ADCMP601/ADCMP602 APPLICATION INFORMATION The ADCMP600/ADCMP601/ADCMP602 comparators are very high speed devices. 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 (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. It is also important to adequately bypass the input and output supplies. Multiple high quality 0.01 F 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. At least one of these should be 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. If the package allows and the input and output supplies have been connected separately such that VCCI VCCO, care should be taken to bypass each of these supplies separately to the GND plane. A bypass capacitor should never 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, coupling between the two supplies is unavoidable; however, careful board placement can help keep output return currents away from the inputs. 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 outputs of the ADCMP600/ADCMP601/ADCMP602 are designed to directly drive one Schottky TTL or three low power Schottky TTL loads or equivalent. For large fan outputs, buses, or transmission lines, an appropriate buffer should be used to maintain the comparator's excellent speed and stability. With the rated 5 pF load capacitance applied, more than half of the total device propagation delay is output stage slew time, even at 2.5 V VCC. Because of this, the total prop delay decreases as VCCO decreases, and instability in the power supply may appear as excess delay dispersion. This delay is measured to the 50% point for the supply in use; therefore, 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. When duty cycle accuracy is critical, the logic being driven should switch at 50% of VCC and load capacitance should be minimized. When in doubt, it is best to power VCCO or the entire device from the logic supply and rely on the input PSRR and CMRR to reject noise. 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 (Figure 14). Because of its inherent symmetry and generally good behavior, this output stage is readily adaptable for driving various filters and other unusual loads.

Simplified Schematic Diagram of TTL-/CMOS-Compatible Output Stage USING/DISABLING THE LATCH FEATURE The latch input is designed for maximum versatility. It can safely be left floating for fixed hysteresis or be tied to VCC to remove the hysteresis, or it can be driven low by any standard TTL/CMOS device as a high speed latch. In addition, the pin can be operated as a hysteresis control pin with a bias voltage of 1.25 V nominal and an input resistance of approximately 7000 , allowing the comparator hysteresis to be easily and accurately controlled by either a resistor or an inexpensive CMOS DAC. Hysteresis control and latch mode can be used together if an open drain, an open collector, or a three-state driver is connected parallel to the hysteresis control resistor or current source. Rev. PrA | Page 9 of 16 ADCMP600/ADCMP601/ADCMP602 Preliminary Technical Data Due to the programmable hysteresis feature, the logic threshold of the latch pin is approximately 1.1 V regardless of VCC. INPUT VOLTAGE 1V/ns VN VOS OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE 10V/ns COMPARATOR PROPAGATION DELAY DISPERSION The ADCMP600/ADCMP601/ADCMP602 comparators are designed to reduce propagation delay dispersion over a wide input overdrive range of 5 mV to TBD. Propagation delay dispersion is the variation in propagation delay that results from a change in the degree of overdrive or slew rate (that is, how far or how fast the input signal exceeds the switching threshold). Figure 16. Propagation Delay--Slew Rate Dispersion 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. Figure 17 shows the transfer function for a comparator with hysteresis. As the input voltage approaches the threshold (0.0 V, in this example) from below the threshold region in a positive direction, the comparator switches from low to high when the input crosses +VH/2, and the new switching threshold becomes -VH/2. The comparator remains in the high state until the new threshold, -VH/2, is crossed from below the threshold region in a negative direction. In this manner, noise or feedback output signals centered on 0.0 V input cannot cause the comparator to switch states unless it exceeds the region bounded by VH/2. OUTPUT 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. Dispersion is defined as the variation in propagation delay as the input overdrive conditions are changed (Figure 15 and Figure 16). ADCMP600/ADCMP601/ADCMP602 dispersion is typically
