The LT
®
1711/LT1712 are UltraFast
TM
4.5ns comparators
featuring rail-to-rail inputs, rail-to-rail complementary out-
puts and an output latch. Optimized for 3V and 5V power
supplies, they operate over a single supply voltage range
from 2.4V to 12V or from
±2.4V
to
±6V
dual supplies.
The LT1711/LT1712 are designed for ease of use in a
variety of systems. In addition to wide supply voltage
flexibility, rail-to-rail input common mode range extends
100mV beyond both supply rails, and the outputs are
protected against phase reversal for inputs extending
further beyond the rails. Also, the rail-to-rail inputs may be
taken to opposite rails with no significant increase in input
current. The rail-to-rail matched complementary outputs
interface directly to TTL or CMOS logic and can sink 10mA
to within 0.5V of GND or source 10mA to within 0.7V of V
+
.
The LT1711/LT1712 have internal TTL/CMOS compatible
latches for retaining data at the outputs. Each latch holds
data as long as the latch pin is held high. Latch pin
hysteresis provides protection against slow moving or
noisy latch signals. The LT1711 is available in the 8-pin
MSOP package. The LT1712 is available in the 16-pin
narrow SSOP package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1711C/LT1712C are guaranteed to meet specified
performance from 0°C to 70°C. They are designed, characterized and
expected to meet specified performance from – 40°C to 85°C but are not
tested or QA sampled at these temperatures. The LT1711I/LT1712I are
guaranteed to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3:
The negative supply should not be greater than the ground pin
voltage and the maximum voltage across the positive and negative
supplies should not be greater than 12V.
Note 4:
Input offset voltage (V
OS
) is measured with the LT1711/LT1712 in
a configuration that adds external hysteresis. It is defined as the average of
the two hysteresis trip points.
Note 5:
Input bias current (I
B
) is defined as the average of the two input
currents.
Note 6:
Propagation delay (t
PD
) is measured with the overdrive added to
the actual V
OS
. Differential propagation delay is defined as:
∆t
PD
= t
PD+
– t
PD–
. Load capacitance is 10pF. Due to test system
requirements, the LT1711/LT1712 propagation delay is specified with a
1kΩ load to ground for
±5V
supplies, or to mid-supply for 2.7V or 5V
single supplies.
Note 7:
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. Latch disable pulse width
(t
DPW
) is the width of the negative pulse on the latch enable pin that
latches in new data on the data inputs.
Note 8:
Output voltage swings are characterized and tested at V
+
= 5V and
V
–
= 0V. They are guaranteed by design and correlation to meet these
specifications at V
–
= – 5V.
Note 9:
The input voltage range is tested under the more demanding
conditions of V
+
= 5V and V
–
= –5V. The LT1711/LT1712 are guaranteed
by design and correlation to meet these specifications at V
–
= 0V.
Note 10:
The LT1711/LT1712 voltage gain is tested at V
+
= 5V and
V
–
= –5V only. Voltage gain at single supply V
+
= 5V and V
+
= 2.7V is
guaranteed by design and correlation.
Note 11:
The LT1711/LT1712 t
PD
is tested at V
+
= 5V and 2.7V with
V
–
= 0V. Propagation delay at V
+
= 5V, V
–
= –5V is guaranteed by design
and correlation.
Note 12:
Care must be taken to make sure that the LT1711/LT1712 do not
exceed T
JMAX
when operating with
±5V
supplies over the industrial
temperature range. T
JMAX
is not exceeded for DC inputs, but supply
current increases with switching frequency (see Typical Performance
Characteristics).
