GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADCMP566 is an ultrafast voltage comparator fabricated

on Analog Devices’ proprietary XFCB process. The device

features 250 ps propagation delay with less than 35 ps overdrive

dispersion. Overdrive dispersion, a particularly important

characteristic of high speed comparators, is a measure of the

difference in propagation delay under differing overdrive

conditions.

A fast, high precision differential input stage permits consis-

tent propagation delay with a wide variety of signals in the

common-mode range from −2.0 V to +3.0 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 latch input is included, which permits tracking,

track-and-hold, or sample-and-hold modes of operation.

The ADCMP566 is available in a 32-lead LFCSP package.
