GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADCMP572 and ADCMP573 are ultrafast comparators
fabricated on Analog Devices’ proprietary XFCB3 Silicon
Germanium (SiGe) bipolar process. The ADCMP572 features
CML output drivers and latch inputs, and the ADCMP573
features reduced swing PECL (RSPECL) output drivers and
latch inputs.
provided at both inputs with the optional capability to be left
open (on an individual pin basis) for applications requiring
high impedance inputs.
The CML output stage is designed to directly drive 400 mV into
50 Ω transmission lines terminated to between 3.3 V to 5.2 V.
The RSPECL output stage is designed to drive 400 mV into
50 Ω terminated to VCCO − 2 V and is compatible with several
commonly used PECL logic families. The comparator input
stage offers robust protection against large input overdrive, and
the outputs do not phase reverse when the valid input signal
range is exceeded. High speed latch and programmable
hysteresis features are also provided.
Both devices offer 150 ps propagation delay and 80 ps
minimum pulse width for 10 Gbps operation with 200 fs rms
random jitter (RJ). Overdrive and slew rate dispersion are
typically less than 15 ps.
A flexible power supply scheme allows both devices to operate
with a single 3.3 V positive supply and a −0.2 V to +1.2 V input
signal range or with split input/output supplies to support a
wider −0.2 V to +3.2 V input signal range and an independent
range of output levels. 50 Ω on-chip termination resistors are
The ADCMP572 and ADCMP573 are available in a 16-lead
LFCSP package and have been characterized over an extended
industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
