MINIMUM HOLD TIME - The minimum time after the

GENERAL INFORMATION
The SPT9689 is an ultrahigh speed dual voltage compara-
tor. It offers tight absolute characteristics. The device has
differential analog inputs and complementary logic outputs
compatiblewithECLsystems. Theoutputstageisadequate
for driving terminated 50 ohm transmission lines.
The negative common mode voltage is -2.5 V. The
positive common mode voltage is +4.0 V.

tions but have separate grounds for each comparator to
achieve high crosstalk rejection.
The SPT9689 has a complementary latch enable control for
each comparator. Both should be driven by standard ECL
logic levels.
