APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The timing diagram (Figure 5.) is presented to illustrate
the MC10E1652’s compare and latch features. When the
signal on the LEN
pin is at a logic high level, the device is
operating in the “compare mode,” and the signal on the input
arrives at the output after a nominal propagation delay (t
PHL
,
t
PLH
). The input signal must be asserted for a time, t
s
, prior
to the negative going transition on LEN
and held for a time,
t
h
, after the LEN transition. After time t
h
, the latch is
operating in the “latch mode,” thus transitions on the input
do not appear at the output. The device continues to operate
in the “latch mode” until the latch is asserted once again.
Moreover, the LEN
pulse must meet the minimum pulse
width (t
pw
) requirement to effect the correct input-output
relationship. Note that the LEN
waveform in Figure 5.
shows the LEN
signal swinging around a reference labeled
VBB
INT
; this waveform emphasizes the requirement that
LEN
follow typical ECL 10KH logic levels because
VBB
INT
is the internally generated reference level, hence is
nominally at the ECL VBB level.
Finally, V
OD
is the input voltage overdrive and represents
the voltage level beyond the threshold level (V
THR
) to which
the input is driven. As an example, if the threshold level is
set on one of the comparator inputs as 80 mV and the input
signal swing on the complementary input is from zero to 100
mV, the positive going overdrive would be 20 mV and the
negative going overdrive would be 80 mV. The result of
differing overdrive levels is that the devices have shorter
propagation delays with greater overdrive because the
threshold level is crossed sooner than the case of lower
overdrive levels. Typically, semiconductor manufactures
refer to the threshold voltage as the input offset voltage
(VOS) since the threshold voltage is the sum of the
externally supplied reference voltage and inherent device
offset voltage.
