PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD53042 is an ultrahigh speed window comparator
with latch. It uses a high speed monolithic process to provide
high dc accuracy without sacrificing input voltage range.
On-chip connection of the common input eliminates the
contributions of a second bonding pad and package pin to
the input capacitance, resulting in a maximum input
capacitance of 2 pF.
The AD53042 employs a high precision differential input
stage with a common mode range of 9 V. Its complementary
digital outputs are fully ECL-compatible. The output stage is
capable of driving a 50 Ω line terminated to –2 V. The device
also provides a latch function, allowing operation in track-hold
mode and can also be used to generate hysteresis.

NOTES
1
Defined as change in VOS from –VS + 2.95 V to +VS – 2.75 V (throughout the range) after VA and VB are corrected for gain and offset using 0 V and 5 V.
2
Propagation delay is measured from the input threshold crossing at the 50% point of a 0 V to 5 V input to the output Q and Q crossing.
3
The minimum input pulsewidth that will maintain a 600 mV ECL swing on the output. The input is a 0 V to 3 V signal with a 3 V/ns rise and fall times. The input
pulsewidth is measured between the 2.8 V point of a positive input pulse and the 0.2 V of a negative input pulse. See Figure 2.
4
Maximum Change in propagation delay as the input pulse is reduced from 50 ns to a 2 ns pulsewidth. 0 V to 3 V swing with 3 V/ns rise/fall time and 25% duty cycle.
5
Maximum Change in propagation delay as the input pulse is reduced from 99% to a 1% duty cycle. 0 V to 3 V swing with 3 V/ns rise/fall time and 50 ns to 4.95 µs
pulsewidth, period = 5 µs.

*Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-
nent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Absolute maximum limits apply
individually, not in combination. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
The device must suffer no reliability degradation if any supply pin is either shorted
to ground or left floating for an indefinite periods of time during normal operation.

If either of the latch enables, LEA or LEB are low, the output
follows the input. If LEA or LEB are high, the comparator outputs will be latched and they won’t change.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD53042 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
