DESCRIPTIO
Ultrafast (5.5ns typ)
Complementary ECL Output
50Ω Line Driving Capability
Low Offset Voltage
Output Latch Capability
External Hysteresis Control
Pin Compatible with Am685
The LT
®
685 is an ultrafast comparator with differential
inputs and complementary outputs fully compatible with
ECL logic levels. The output current capability is adequate
for driving transmission lines terminated in 50Ω. The low
input offset and high resolution make this comparator
ideally suited for analog-to-digital signal processing
applications.
A latch function is provided to allow the comparator to be
used in a sample-hold mode. When the latch enable input
is ECL high, the comparator functions normally. When the
latch enable is driven low, the comparator outputs are
locked in their existing logical states. If the latch function
is not used, the latch enable must be connected to ground
or ECL high.
The device is pin-compatible with the Am685. Hysteresis
has been added to improve switching time with slow input
signals as well as to minimize oscillation. A single resistor
between the hysteresis pin and V
–
adds input hysteresis
voltage as more current is drawn. If hysteresis is not
required, the pin can be left unconnected.

For the metal can package, derate at 6.8mW/°C for operation at
ambient temperatures above 100°C; for the hermetic dual-in-line package,
derate at 9mW/°C for operation at ambient temperatures above 105°C.
Note 3:
Guaranteed by design, but not tested.
