GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADCMP608 and ADCMP609 are fast comparators
fabricated on Analog Devices’ proprietary XFCB2 process.
These comparators are exceptionally versatile and easy to use.
Features include an input range from V
low noise, TTL-/CMOS-compatible output drivers, and latch
inputs with adjustable hysteresis and/or shutdown inputs.
The devices offer 30 ns propagation delays driving a 15 pF load
with 5 mV overdrive on 350/400 A 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 +6V
input signal range. Split input/output supplies, with no
sequencing restrictions on the ADCMP609, support a wide
input signal range while allowing independent output swing
control.

EE
The TTL-/CMOS-compatible output stage is designed to drive
up to 15 pF with full rated 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 in a
unique single-pin control option.
The ADCMP608 is available in a tiny 6-lead SC70 package with
single-ended output and a shutdown pin.
The ADCMP609, available in an 8-lead MSOP package, features
a shutdown pin, single pin latch, and hysteresis control.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER/GROUND LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
The ADCMP608 and ADCMP609 comparators are 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 (V
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. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor should be placed as close as
possible to each V
connected to the GND plane with redundant vias placed to
provide a physically short return path for output currents
flowing back from ground to the V
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.
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 ADCMP608 and ADCMP609 are
designed to directly drive one Schottky TTL or three low power
Schottky TTL loads or equivalent. For large fan outs, buses, or
transmission lines, an appropriate buffer should be used to
maintain the excellent speed and stability of the part.
With the rated 15 pF load capacitance applied, even at 2.5 V
, more than half of the total device propagation delay is
V
CC
output stage slew time. Because of this, the total prop delay will
decrease as V
may show up as excess delay dispersion.
This delay is measured to the 50% point for whatever supply is
in use, so the fastest times will be observed with the V
at 2.5 V, and larger values will be observed when driving loads,
that switch at other levels. Overdrive and input slew rate
dispersions are not significantly affected by output loading and
V
variations.

USING/DISABLING THE LATCH FEATURE
The latch input of the ADCMP609 is designed for maximum
versatility. It can safely be left floating or pulled to TTL high for
normal comparator operation with no 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 . This allows 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, a collector, or a three-state driver is connected in
parallel to the hysteresis control resistor or current source.
Due to the programmable hysteresis feature,the logic threshold
of the latch pin is approximately 1.1 V regardless of V
OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE
As with any high speed comparator, proper design and layout
techniques are essential for obtaining the specified
performance. Stray capacitance, inductance, common power
and ground impedances, or other layout issues can severely limit
performance and often cause oscillation. The source impedance
should be minimized as much as is practicable. High source
impedance, in combination with the parasitic input capacitance
of the comparator, will cause an undesirable degradation in
bandwidth at the input, thus degrading the overall response.
Higher impedances encourage undesired coupling.

ADCMP608/ADCMP609
COMPARATOR PROPAGATION
DELAY DISPERSION
The ADCMP608 and ADCMP609 comparator is designed to
reduce propagation delay dispersion over a wide input overdrive
range of 5 mV to V
variation in propagation delay that results from a change in the
degree of overdrive or slew rate (how far or how fast the input
signal exceeds the switching threshold).
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
(see
Figure 14 and Figure 15).
ADCMP608 and ADCMP609 dispersion is typically <5 ns as
the overdrive varies from 5 mV to 500 mV, and the input slew
rate varies from 2 V/ns to 10 V/ns. This specification applies to
both positive and negative signals because the device has very
closely matched delays for both positive-going and negativegoing inputs, and very low output skews. Remember to add the
actual device offset to the overdrive for repeatable dispersion
measurements.

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. The transfer function for a
comparator with hysteresis is shown in
voltage approaches the threshold (0.0 V, in this example) from
below the threshold region in a positive direction, the
comparator switches from a low to a high when the input crosses
+V
/2. The new switching threshold becomes −VH/2. The
H
comparator remains in the high state until the threshold −V
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 ±V

The customary technique for introducing hysteresis into a
comparator uses positive feedback from the output back to the
input. One limitation of this approach is that the amount of
hysteresis varies with the output logic levels, resulting in
hysteresis that is not symmetric about the threshold. The
external feedback network can also introduce significant
parasitics that reduce high speed performance, and can even
induce oscillation in some cases.
The ADCMP609 comparator offers a programmable hysteresis
feature that significantly improves accuracy and stability.
Connecting an external pull-down resistor or a current source
from the LE/HYS pin to GND, varies the amount of hysteresis
in a predictable and stable manner. Leaving the LE/HYS pin
disconnected or driving it high removes the hysteresis. The
maximum hysteresis that can be applied using this pin is
approximately 160 mV.
Figure 17 illustrates the amount of
hysteresis applied as a function of external resistor value.
Figure TBD illustrates hysteresis as a function of current.

Preliminary Technical Data
The hysteresis control pin appears as a 1.25 V bias voltage seen
through a series resistance of 7k ± 20% throughout the
hysterisis control range. The advantages of applying hysteresis
in this manner are improved accuracy, improved stability,
reduced component count, and maximum versatility. An
external bypass capacitor is not recommended on the HYS pin
because it would likely degrade the jitter performance of the
device and impair the latch function. As described in
Using/Disabling the Latch Feature, hysteresis control need not
compromise the latch function.

CROSSOVER BIAS POINT
Rail-to-rail inputs of this type, in both op amps and comparators have a dual front-end design. Certain devices are active
near the V
predetermined point in the common-mode range, a crossover
occurs. At this point, normally V
current reverses and there are changes in measured offset
voltages and currents.

more closely resemble the inputs of non rail-to rail ground
sensing comparators such as the AD8611.
MINIMUM INPUT SLEW RATE REQUIREMENT
(Remove if device is stable.)
As with most high speed comparators, without hysteresis a
minimum slew rate must be met to ensure that the device does
not oscillate as the input signal crosses the threshold. This
oscillation is due to the high gain bandwidth of the comparator
in combination with feedback parasitics inherent in the package
and PC board. A minimum slew rate of TBD. V/µs ensures
clean output transitions from the ADCMP608/ADCMP609
comparators without hysteresis. In many applications,
chattering is not harmful.
