The HMC676LC3C is a SiGe monolithic, ultra fast
comparator that features reduced swing (RS) ECL
output drivers and latch inputs. The comparator
supports 10 Gbps operation while providing 100 ps
propagation delay and 60 ps minimum pulse width with
0.2 ps rms random jitter (RJ). Overdrive and slew rate
dispersion are typically 10 ps, making the device ideal
for a wide range of applications from ATE to broadband
communications. The reduced swing ECL output stage
is designed to directly drive 400 mV into 50 ohms
terminated to -2 V. The HMC676LC3C features high
speed latch and programmable hysteresis and may
be configured to operate in either latch mode, or as a
tracking comparator.

10 GHz LATCHED COMPARATOR
WITH RSECL OUTPUT STAGE
Operational Description
COMPARATORS - SMT
The HMC676LC3C is a Latched Comparator with 10 GHz equivalent input bandwidth. The device is comprised of three
blocks: 1) An input amplifier, 2) A latch, and 3) An RSECL Output Buffer. The latching circuit is level sensitive, and
consists of a single high-speed latch. The HMC676LC3C comparator supports 10 Gb/s operation. The minimum input
data latching pulse width is 60 ps.
The HMC676LC3C operates in either Track (Transparent) Mode, where the output follows the logical value of the input,
or the Latch (Hold) Mode, where the output value is held to the logical value of the comparison result of the input just prior
to (LE - LE_bar) going HI. Track Mode operation is selected by either 1) (LE - LE_bar) LO, or 2) LE and LE_bar inputs
floating. Latch Mode is selected by (LE - LE_bar) HI. The input impedance of the LE and LE_bar inputs is 8 k ohms, but
these inputs can be terminated with 50 ohm external resistors if desired.
When DC coupled, the clock inputs operate at an input common mode voltage of 2 V. In this case, any termination
resistors would ideally be returned to 2 V. If the clock is AC coupled to the device, the input termination resistors can be
returned to ground.
