APPLICATION INFORMATION
The ADCMP563/ADCMP564 comparators are very high speed
devices. Consequently, high speed design techniques must be
employed to achieve the best performance. The most critical
aspect of any ADCMP563/ADCMP564 design is the use of a
low impedance ground plane. A ground plane, as part of a
multilayer board, is recommended for proper high speed
performance. Using a continuous conductive plane over the
surface of the circuit board can create this, allowing breaks in
the plane only for necessary signal paths. The ground plane
provides a low inductance ground, eliminating any potential
differences at different ground points throughout the circuit
board caused by ground bounce. A proper ground plane also
minimizes the effects of stray capacitance on the circuit board.
It is also important to provide bypass capacitors for the power
supply in a high speed application. A 1 µF electrolytic bypass
capacitor should be placed within 0.5 inches of each power
supply pin to ground. These capacitors reduce any potential
voltage ripples from the power supply. In addition, a 10 nF
ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as possible from the
power supply pins on the ADCMP563/ADCMP564 to ground.
These capacitors act as a charge reservoir for the device during
high frequency switching.
The LATCH ENABLE input is active low (latched). If the
latching function is not used, the LATCH ENABLE input can be
left open or grounded (ground is an ECL logic high). The
complementary input,
LATCH ENABLE
, can be left open or
tied to −2.0 V. Leaving the latch inputs unconnected or
providing the proper voltages disables the latching function.
Occasionally, one of the two comparator stages within the
ADCMP563/ADCMP564 is not used. The inputs of the unused
comparator should not be allowed to float. The high internal
gain can cause the output to oscillate (possibly affecting the
comparator that is being used), unless the output is forced into
a fixed state. This is easily accomplished by ensuring that the
two inputs are at least one diode drop apart, while also
appropriately connecting the LATCH ENABLE and
LATCH ENABLE
inputs as described previously.
The best performance is achieved with the use of proper ECL
terminations. The open emitter outputs of the ADCMP563/
ADCMP564 are designed to be terminated through 50
resistors to −2.0 V, or any other equivalent ECL termination. If a
−2.0 V supply is not available, an 82 Ω resistor to ground and a
130 Ω resistor to −5.2 V provide a suitable equivalent. If high
speed ECL signals must be routed more than a centimeter,
microstrip or stripline techniques may be required to ensure
proper transition times and prevent output ringing.
CLOCK TIMING RECOVERY
Comparators are often used in digital systems to recover clock
timing signals. High speed square waves transmitted over a
distance, even tens of centimeters, can become distorted due to
stray capacitance and inductance. Poor layout or improper
termination can also cause reflections on the transmission line,
further distorting the signal waveform. A high speed
comparator can be used to recover the distorted waveform
while maintaining a minimum of delay.
OPTIMIZING HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE
As with any high speed comparator amplifier, proper design
and layout techniques should be used to ensure optimal
performance from the ADCMP563/ADCMP564. The perfor-
mance limits of high speed circuitry all too often are the result
of stray capacitance, improper ground impedance, or other
layout issues.
Minimizing resistance from source to the input is an important
consideration in maximizing the high speed operation of the
ADCMP563/ADCMP564. Source resistance, in combination
with equivalent input capacitance, could cause a lagged
response at the input, thus delaying the output. The input
capacitance of the ADCMP563/ADCMP564, in combination
with stray capacitance from an input pin to ground, could result
in several picofarads of equivalent capacitance. A combination
of 3 kΩ source resistance and 5 pF input capacitance yields a
time constant of 15 ns, which is significantly slower than the
750 ps capability of the ADCMP563/ADCMP564. Source
impedances should be significantly less than 100 Ω for best
performance.
Sockets should be avoided due to stray capacitance and induc-
tance. If proper high speed techniques are used, the devices
should be free from oscillation when the comparator input
signal passes through the switching threshold.
COMPARATOR PROPAGATION DELAY DISPERSION
The ADCMP563/ADCMP564 have been specifically designed
to reduce propagation delay dispersion over an input overdrive
range of 100 mV to 1.5 V. Propagation delay overdrive
dispersion is the change in propagation delay that results from a
change in the degree of overdrive (how far the switching point
is exceeded by the input). The overall result is a higher degree of
timing accuracy because the ADCMP563/ADCMP564 are far
less sensitive to input variations than most comparator designs.

Propagation delay dispersion is important in critical timing
applications such as ATE, bench instruments, and nuclear
instrumentation. Overdrive dispersion is defined as the varia-
tion in propagation delay as the input overdrive conditions are
changed (Figure 21). For the ADCMP563/ADCMP564, over-
drive dispersion is typically 75 ps as the overdrive is changed
from 100 mV to 1.5 V. This specification applies for both
positive and negative overdrive because the ADCMP563 and
the ADCMP564 have equal delays for positive and negative
going inputs.

COMPARATOR HYSTERESIS
The addition of hysteresis to a comparator is often useful in a
noisy environment, or where it is not desirable for the compar-
ator to toggle between states when the input signal is at the
switching threshold. The transfer function for a comparator
with hysteresis is shown in Figure 22. If the input voltage
approaches the threshold from the negative direction, the
comparator switches from 0 to 1 when the input crosses +V
H
/2.
The new switching threshold becomes −V
H
/2. The comparator
remains in a 1 state until the threshold −V
H
/2 is crossed while
coming from the positive direction. In this manner, noise
centered on 0 V input does not cause the comparator to switch
states unless it exceeds the region bounded by ±V
H
/2.
The customary technique for introducing hysteresis into a
comparator uses positive feedback from the output back to the
input. A limitation of this approach is that the amount of
hysteresis varies with the output logic levels, resulting in
hysteresis that can be load dependent and is not symmetrical
about the threshold. The external feedback network can also
introduce significant parasitics, which reduce high speed
performance and can induce oscillation in some cases.
In the ADCMP564, hysteresis is generated through the
programmable hysteresis pin. A resistor from the HYS pin to
GND creates a current into the part that is used to generate
hysteresis. Hysteresis generated in this manner is independent
of output swing and is symmetrical around the trip point. The
hysteresis vs. resistance curve is shown in Figure 23.
A current may be sourced into the HYS pin. The pin is biased
approximately 1 V below AGND and has a 3 kΩ series
resistance. The relationship between the current applied to the
HYS pin and the resulting hysteresis is shown in Figure 19.

MINIMUM INPUT SLEW RATE REQUIREMENT
As for all high speed comparators, a minimum slew rate must
be met to ensure that the device does not oscillate as the input
crosses the threshold. This oscillation is due in part to the high
input bandwidth of the comparator and the parasitics of the
package. ADI recommends a slew rate of 1 V/μs or faster to
ensure a clean output transition. If slew rates less than 1 V/μs
are used, hysteresis can be added to prevent the oscillation.
