GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPT9691 is a high-speed, wide common mode voltage,
JFET input, dual comparator. It is designed for applications
that measure critical timing parameters in which wide com-
mon mode input voltages of -4.0 to +8.0 V are required.
Propagation delays are constant for overdrives greater than
200 mV.
JFET inputs reduce the input bias currents to the nanoamp
level, eliminating the need for input drivers and buffers in
most applications. The device has differential analog inputs
and complementary logic outputs compatible with ECL sys-
tems. Each comparator has a complementary latch enable
control that can be driven by standard ECL logic.
The SPT9691 is available in 20-lead PLCC, 20-lead plastic
DIP and 20-contact LCC packages over the commercial
temperature range. It is also available in die form.

TIMING INFORMATION
The timing diagram for the comparator is shown in figure 1.
If LE is high and LE low in the SPT9691, the comparator
tracks the input difference voltage. When LE is driven low
and LE high, the comparator outputs are latched into their
existing logic states.
The leading edge of the input signal (which consists of a
150 mV overdrive voltage) changes the comparator output
after a time of t
pdL
or t
pdH
(Q or Q ). The input signal must be
maintained for a time t
s
(set-up time) before the LE falling
edge and
LE
rising edge and held for time t
H
after the falling
edge for the comparator to accept data. After t
H
, the output
ignores the input status until the latch is strobed again. A
minimum latch pulse width of t
pL
is needed for strobe opera-
tion, and the output transitions occur after a time of t
pLOH
or
t
pLOL
.

The set-up and hold times are a measure of the time required for an input signal to propagate through the
first stage of the comparator to reach the latching circuitry. Input signals occurring before t
s
will be detected
and held; those occurring after t
H
will not be detected. Changes between t
S
and t
H
may not be detected.
