Single/Dual, Ultra-Fast, ECL-Output Comparators with Latch Enable


General Description
The MAX9691/MAX9692/MAX9693 are ultra-fast ECL comparators capable of very short propagation delays. Their design maintains the excellent DC matching characteristics normally found only in slower comparators. The MAX9691/MAX9692/MAX9693 have differential inputs and complementary outputs that are fully compatible with ECL-logic levels. Output current levels are capable of driving 50 terminated transmission lines. The ultra-fast operation makes signal processing possible at frequencies in excess of 600MHz. The MAX9692/MAX9693 feature a latch-enable (LE) function that allows the comparator to be used in a sample-hold mode. When LE is ECL high, the comparator functions normally. When LE is driven ECL low, the outputs are forced to an unambiguous ECL-logic state, dependent on the input conditions at the time of the latch input transition. If the latch-enable function is not used on either of the two comparators, the appropriate LE input must be connected to ground; the companion LE input must be connected to a high ECL logic level. These devices are available in SO, QSOP, and tiny MAX packages for added space savings. o 1.2ns Propagation Delay o 100ps Propagation Delay Skew o 150ps Dispersion o 0.5ns Latch Setup Time o 0.5ns Latch-Enable Pulse Width o Available in MAX and QSOP Packages o +5V, -5.2V Power Supplies

__________ Applications Information
Layout
Because of the MAX9691/MAX9692/MAX9693s large gain-bandwidth characteristic, special precautions must be taken to use them. A PC board with a ground plane is mandatory. Mount 0.01F ceramic decoupling capacitors as close to the power-supply pins as possible, and process the ECL outputs in microstrip fashion, consistent with the load termination of 50 to 200 (for VT = -2V). For low-impedance applications, microstrip layout and terminations at the input may also be helpful. Pay close attention to the bandwidth of the decoupling and terminating components. Chip components can be used to minimize lead inductance. Connect GND1 and GND2 together to a solid copper ground plane for the MAX9691/MAX9692. GND1 biases the input gain stages, while GND2 biases the ECL output stage. If the LE function is not used, connect the LE pin to GND (MAX9692/MAX9693) and the complementary LE to ECL logic high level (MAX9693 only). Do not leave the inputs of an unused comparator floating for the MAX9693. problems when the input goes through the linear region. For clean switching without oscillation or steps in the output waveform, the input must meet certain minimum slew-rate requirements. The tendency of the part to oscillate is a function of the layout and source impedance of the circuit employed. Poor layout and larger source impedance will increase the minimum slew-rate requirement. Figure 1 shows a high-speed receiver application with 50 input and output termination. With this configuration, in which a ground plane and microstrip PC board are used, the minimum slew rate for clean output switching is 1V/s. In many applications, adding regenerative feedback will assist the input signal through the linear region, which will lower the minimum slew-rate requirement considerably. For example, with the addition of positive feedback components, Rf = 1k and Cf = 10pF, the minimum slew-rate requirement can be reduced by a factor of four. As high-speed receivers, the MAX9691/MAX9692/ MAX9693 are capable of processing signals in excess of 600MHz. Figure 2 is a 100MHz example with an input signal level of 14mVRMS.

Single/Dual, Ultra-Fast, ECL-Output Comparators with Latch Enable


The timing diagram (Figure 3) illustrates the series of events that complete the compare function, under worst-case conditions. The top line of the diagram illustrates two latch-enable pulses. Each pulse is high for the compare function and low for the latch function. The first pulse demonstrates the compare function; part of the input action takes place during the compare mode. The second pulse demonstrates a compare function interval during which there is no change in the input. The leading edge of the input signal (illustrated as a large-amplitude, small-overdrive pulse) switches the comparator after time interval tpd. Output Q and Q transistors are similar in timing. The input signal must occur at time ts before the latch falling edge, and must be maintained for time th after the edge to be acquired. After th, the output is no longer affected by the input status until the latch is again strobed. A minimum latch pulse width of tpw(LE) is needed for the strobe operation, and the output transitions occur after a time tLE(). The MAX9691/MAX9692/MAX9693 will not false trip (i.e., output invert) if one of the inputs is in the valid common-mode range while the other input is outside the common-mode range.
