Preliminary Technical Data
APPLICATION INFORMATION
POWER/GROUND LAYOUT AND BYPASSING
The ADCMP58x family of comparators is designed for very
high speed applications. Consequently, high speed design
techniques must be used to achieve the specified performance.
It is critically important to use low impedance supply planes,
particularly for the negative supply (V
plane (V
planes are recommended as part of a multilayer board.
Providing the lowest inductance return path for the switching
currents ensures the best possible performance in the target
application.
It is also important to adequately bypass the input and output
supplies. A 1 µF electrolytic bypass capacitor should be placed
within several inches of each power supply pin to ground. In
addition, multiple high quality 0.1µF bypass capacitors should
be placed as close as possible to each of the V
supply pins and should be connected to the GND plane with
redundant vias. High frequency bypass capacitors should be
carefully selected for minimum inductance and ESR. Parasitic
layout inductance should be strictly avoided to maximize the
effectiveness of the bypass at high frequencies.
ADCMP58x FAMILY OF OUTPUT STAGES
Specified propagation delay dispersion performance can be
achieved by using proper transmission line terminations. The
outputs of the ADCMP580 comparators are designed to directly
drive 400 mV into 50 Ω cable or microstrip/stripline
transmission lines terminated with 50 Ω referenced to the GND
return. The CML output stage is shown in the simplified
schematic diagram in Figure 14. The outputs are each back-
terminated with 50 Ω for best transmission line matching. The
outputs of the ADCMP581/ADCMP582 are illustrated in
Figure 15 and should be terminated to −2 V for ECL outputs of
ADCMP581 and VCCO − 2 V for PECL outputs of
ADCMP582. As an alternative, Thevenin equivalent
termination networks may also be used. If high speed CML
signals must be routed more than a centimeter, then either
microstrip or stripline techniques is required to ensure proper
transition times and to prevent excessive output ringing and
pulse-width-dependant propagation delay dispersion.

USING/DISABLING THE LATCH FEATURE
The latch inputs (LE/ LE ) are active low for latch mode, and are
internally terminated with 50 Ω resistors to the V

plane.
When using the ADCMP580/ADCMP582, the latch function
can be disabled by connecting the LE pin to V
external pull-down resistor and leaving the LE pin unconnected.
To prevent excessive power dissipation, the resistor should be
1.5 kΩ. When using the ADCMP581 comparators, the latch can
be disabled by connecting the LE pin to GND with an external
450 Ω resistor, and leaving the LE pin disconnected.
