GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD96685 and AD96687 are ultrafast voltage comparators.
The AD96685 is a single comparator with 2.5 ns propagation
delay; the AD96687 is an equally fast dual comparator. Both
devices feature 50 ps propagation delay dispersion which is a
particularly important characteristic of high speed comparators.
It is a measure of the difference in propagation delay under differing overdrive conditions.
A fast, high precision differential input stage permits consistent
propagation delay with a wide variety of signals in the commonmode range from –2.5 V to +5 V. Outputs are complementary
digital signals fully compatible with ECL 10 K and 10 KH logic

families. The outputs provide sufficient drive current to directly
drive transmission lines terminated in 50 Ω to –2 V. A level sensitive latch input is included which permits tracking, track-hold,
or sample-hold modes of operation.
The AD96685 and AD96687 are available in both industrial,
–25°C to +85°C, and military temperature ranges. Industrial
range devices are available in 16-pin DIP, SOIC, and 20-lead
PLCC; additionally, the AD96685 is available in a 10-pin,
TO-100 metal can.

NOTES
1
Absolute maximum ratings are limiting values, may be applied individually, and beyond which serviceability
of the circuit may be impaired. Functional operation under any of these conditions is not necessarily implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2
Under no circumstances should the input voltages exceed the supply voltages .
