GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8611/AD8612 are single and dual 4 ns comparators
with latch function and complementary output. The latch is not
functional if V
CC
is less than 4.3 V.
Fast 4 ns propagation delay makes the AD8611/AD8612 good
choices for timing circuits and line receivers. Propagation delays
for rising and falling signals are closely matched and tracked over
temperature. This matched delay makes the AD8611/AD8612
good choices for clock recovery because the duty cycle of the
output matches the duty cycle of the input.
The AD8611 has the same pinout as the LT1016 and LT1394,
with lower supply current and a wider common-mode input
range, which includes the negative supply rail.
The AD8611/AD8612 are specified over the industrial temper-
ature range (−40°C to +85°C). The AD8611 is available in both
8-lead MSOP and narrow 8-lead SOIC surface-mount packages.
The AD8612 is available in a 14-lead TSSOP surface-mount
package.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress

is specified for the worst-case conditions, that is, a device in socket for
P-DIP and a device soldered in circuit board for SOIC and TSSOP.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
