The ADCMP561/ADCMP562 are high speed comparators fabricated on Analog Devices’ proprietary XFCB process. The devices feature a 700 ps propagation delay with less than 75 ps overdrive dispersion. Dispersion, a measure of the difference in propagation delay under differing overdrive conditions, is a particularly important characteristic of comparators. A separate programmable hysteresis pin is available on the ADCMP562.A differential input stage permits consistent propagation delay with a wide variety of signals in the common-mode range from −2.0 V to +3.0 V. Outputs are complementary digital signals that
