LT1394
7ns, Low Power,
Single Supply, Ground-Sensing
Comparator
DESCRIPTIO
The LT
®
1394 is an UltraFast (7ns) comparator with comple-
mentary outputs and latch. The input common mode range
extends from 1.5V below the positive supply down to the
negative supply rail. Like the LT1016, LT1116 and LT1671,
this comparator has complementary outputs designed to
interface directly to TTL or CMOS logic. The LT1394 may
operate from either a single 5V supply or dual
±5V
supplies.
Low offset voltage specifications and high gain allow the
LT1394 to be used in precision applications.
The LT1394 is designed for improved speed and stability for
a wide range of operating conditions. The output stage
provides active drive in both directions for maximum speed
into TTL, CMOS or passive loads with minimal cross-conduc-
tion current. Unlike other fast comparators, the LT1394
remains stable even for slow transitions through the active
region, which eliminates the need to specify a minimum input
slew rate.
The LT1394 has an internal, TTL/CMOS compatible latch for
retaining data at the outputs. The latch holds data as long as
the LATCH pin is held high. Device parameters such as gain,
offset and negative power supply current are not significantly
affected by variations in negative supply voltage.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
This parameter is guaranteed to meet specified perforamnce
through design and characterization. It has not been tested.
Note 3:
The LT1394CMS8 and LT1394CS8 are guaranteed to meet
specified performance from 0°C to 70°C and are designed, characterized
and expected to meet these extended temperature limits, but are not tested
at – 40°C and 85°C. The LT1394IS8 is guaranteed to meet the extended
temperature limits.
Note 4:
Input offset voltage (V
OS
) is defined as the average of the two
voltages measured by forcing first one output, then the other to 1.4V.
Note 5:
Input bias current (I
B
) is defined as the average of the two input
currents.
Note 6:
Input voltage range is guaranteed in part by CMRR testing and in
part by design and characterization.
Note 7:
t
PD
and
∆t
PD
cannot be measured in automatic handling
equipment with low values of overdrive. The LT1394 is 100% tested with a
100mV step and 20mV overdrive. Correlation tests have shown that t
PD
and
∆t
PD
limits can be guaranteed with this test, if additional DC tests are
performed to guarantee that all internal bias conditions are correct.
Propagation delay (t
PD
) is measured with the overdrive added to the actual
V
OS
. Differential propagation delay is defined as:
∆t
PD
= t
PDLH
– t
PDHL
Note 8:
Latch propagation delay (t
LPD
) is the delay time for the output to
respond when the LATCH pin is deasserted. Latch setup time (t
SU
) is the
interval in which the input signal must remain stable prior to asserting the
latch signal. Latch hold time (t
H
) is the interval after the latch is asserted in
which the input signal must remain stable.
