GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8564 is quad 7 ns comparator with separate input and
output supplies, thus enabling the input stage to be operated
from ±5 V dual supplies or a +5 V single supply while maintaining a CMOS/TTL-compatible output.
Fast 7 ns propagation delay makes the AD8564 a good choice
for timing circuits and line receivers. Independent analog and
digital supplies provide excellent protection from supply pin
interaction. The AD8564 is pin compatible with the MAX901,
and has lower supply currents.
All four comparators have similar propagation delays. The
propagation delay for rising and falling signals is similar, and
tracks over temperature and voltage. These characteristics
make the AD8564 a good choice for high speed timing and data
communications circuits. For a similar dual comparator with a
latch function, please see the AD8598 data sheet. For a similar
single comparator with latch function, please see the AD8561
data sheet.
The AD8564 is specified over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C)
temperature range. The quad AD8564 is available in the 16lead plastic DIP, narrow SO-16 surface mount, and 16-lead
TSSOP packages.

APPLICATIONS
OPTIMIZING HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE
As with any high speed comparator or amplifier, proper design
and layout techniques should be used to ensure optimal performance from the AD8564. The performance limits of high speed
circuitry can easily be a result of stray capacitance, improper
ground impedance or other layout issues.
Minimizing resistance from source to the input is an important
consideration in maximizing the high speed operation of the
AD8564. Source resistance in combination with equivalent
input capacitance could cause a lagged response at the input,
thus delaying the output. The input capacitance of the AD8564
in combination with stray capacitance from an input pin to
ground could result in several picofarads of equivalent capacitance. A combination of 3 kΩ source resistance and 5 pF of
input capacitance yields a time constant of 15 ns, which is
slower than the 5 ns capability of the AD8564. Source impedances should be less than 1 kΩ for the best performance.
It is also important to provide bypass capacitors for the power
supply in a high speed application. A 1 µF electrolytic bypass
capacitor should be placed within 0.5 inches of each power
supply pin to ground. These capacitors will reduce any potential
voltage ripples from the power supply. In addition, a 10 nF
ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as possible from the
–5–REV. A
power supply pins to ground. These capacitors act as a charge
reservoir for the device during high frequency switching.
A ground plane is recommended for proper high speed performance. This can be created by using a continuous conductive
plane over the surface of the circuit board, only allowing breaks
in the plane for necessary current paths. The ground plane
provides a low inductance ground, eliminating any potential
differences at different ground points throughout the circuit
board caused from “ground bounce.” A proper ground plane
also minimizes the effects of stray capacitance on the circuit
board.
OUTPUT LOADING CONSIDERATIONS
The AD8564 output can deliver up to 40 mA of output current
without any significant increase in propagation delay. The output of the device should not be connected to more than twenty
(20) TTL input logic gates, or drive a load resistance less than
100 Ω.
To ensure the best performance from the AD8564 it is important to minimize capacitive loading of the output of the device.
Capacitive loads greater than 50 pF will cause ringing on the
output waveform and will reduce the operating bandwidth of
the comparator. Propagation delay will also increase with
capacitive loads above 100 pF.

AD8564
INPUT STAGE AND BIAS CURRENTS
The AD8564 uses a PNP differential input stage which enables
the input common-mode range to extend all the way from the
negative supply rail to within 2.2 V of the positive supply rail.
The input common-mode voltage can be found as the average of
the voltage at the two inputs of the device. To ensure the fastest
response time, care should be taken to not allow the input
common-mode voltage to exceed this voltage.
The input bias current for the AD8564 is 4 µA. As with any
PNP differential input stage, this bias current will go to zero on
an input that is high and will double on an input that is low.
Care should be taken in choosing resistor values to be connected
to the inputs as large resistors could cause significant voltage
drops due to the input bias current.
The input capacitance for the AD8564 is typically 3 pF. This is
measured by inserting a kΩ source resistance to the input and
measuring the change in propagation delay.
USING HYSTERESIS
Hysteresis can easily be added to a comparator through the
addition of positive feedback. Adding hysteresis to a comparator
offers an advantage in noisy environments where it is not desirable for the output to toggle between states when the input
signal is near the switching threshold. Figure 14 shows a method
for configuring the AD8564 with hysteresis.
COMPARATOR
SIGNAL
The input signal is connected directly to the inverting input of
the comparator. The output is fed back to the noninverting
input through R2 and R1. The ratio of R1 to R1 + R2 establishes the width of the hysteresis window with V
setting the
REF
center of the window, or the average switching voltage. The
output will switch high when the input voltage is greater than
and will not switch low again until the input voltage is less
