UltraFast: 4ns at 20mV Overdrive
150MHz Toggle Frequency
Separate Input and Output Power Supplies
Low Power: 4.6mA per Comparator at 3V
Pinout Optimized for High Speed Use
Output Optimized for 3V and 5V Supplies
TTL/CMOS Compatible Rail-to-Rail Output
Input Voltage Range Extends 100mV
Below Negative Rail
Internal Hysteresis with Specified Limits
The LT
®
1715 is an UltraFast
TM
dual comparator optimized
for low voltage operation. Separate supplies allow inde-
pendent analog input ranges and output logic levels with
no loss of performance. The input voltage range extends
from 100mV below V
EE
to 1.2V below V
CC
. Internal hyster-
esis makes the LT1715 easy to use even with slow moving
input signals. The rail-to-rail outputs directly interface to
TTL and CMOS. The symmetric output drive results in
similar rise and fall times that can be harnessed for analog
applications or for easy translation to other single supply
logic levels.
The LT1715 is available in the 10-pin MSOP package. The
pinout of the LT1715 minimizes parasitic effects by plac-
ing the most sensitive inputs away from the outputs,
shielded by the power rails.
For a dual/quad single supply comparator with similar
propagation delay, see the LT1720/LT1721. For a single
comparator with similar propagation delay, see the LT1719.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1715C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LT1715C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA
sampled at these temperatures. The LT1715I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3:
Thermal resistances vary depending upon the amount of PC board
metal attached to Pin 5 of the device.
θ
JA
is specified for a 2500mm
2
3/32"
FR-4 board covered with 2oz copper on both sides and with 100mm
2
of
copper attached to Pin 5. Thermal performance can be improved beyond
the given specification by using a 4-layer board or by attaching more metal
area to Pin 5.
Note 4:
If one input is within these common mode limits, the other input
can go outside the common mode limits and the output will be valid.
Note 5:
The LT1715 comparator includes internal hysteresis. The trip
points are the input voltage needed to change the output state in each
direction. The offset voltage is defined as the average of V
TRIP+
and V
TRIP–
,
while the hysteresis voltage is the difference of these two.
Note 6:
The common mode rejection ratio is measured with V
CC
= 5V,
V
EE
= – 5V and is defined as the change in offset voltage measured from
V
CM
= – 5.1V to V
CM
= 3.8V, divided by 8.9V.
Note 7:
The power supply rejection ratio is measured with V
CM
= 1V and is
defined as the worst of: the change in offset voltage from V
CC
= + V
S
=
2.7V to V
CC
= + V
S
= 6V (with V
EE
= 0V) divided by 3.3V or the change in
offset voltage from V
EE
= 0V to V
EE
= – 6V (with V
CC
= +V
S
= 6V) divided
by 6V.
Note 8:
Because of internal hysteresis, there is no small-signal region in
which to measure gain. Proper operation of internal circuity is ensured by
measuring V
OH
and V
OL
with only 20mV of overdrive.
Note 9:
Maximum toggle rate is defined as the highest frequency at which
a 100mV sinusoidal input results in an error free output toggling to greater
than 4V when high and to less than 1V when low on a 5V output supply.
Note 10:
Propagation delay measurements made with 100mV steps.
Overdrive is measured relative to V
TRIP
±
.
Note 11:
t
PD
cannot be measured in automatic handling equipment with
low values of overdrive. The LT1715 is 100% tested with a 100mV step
and 20mV overdrive. Correlation tests have shown that t
PD
limits can be
guaranteed with this test.
Note 12:
Propagation Delay Skew is defined as:
t
SKEW
= |t
PDLH
– t
PDHL
|
Note 13:
Differential propagation delay is defined as the larger of the two:
∆t
PDLH
= |t
PDLHA
– t
PDLHB
|
∆t
PDHL
= |t
PDHLA
– t
PDHLB
|
Note 14:
Package inductances combined with asynchronous activity on
the other channel can increase the output jitter. See Channel Interactions
in Applications Information. Specification above is with one channel active
only.
