ADCMP606/ADCMP607

Rev. 0 | Page 12 of 16

The hysteresis control pin appears as a 1.25 V bias voltage seen

through a series resistance of 7 kΩ ± 20% throughout the hysteresis

control range. The advantages of applying hysteresis in this manner

are improved accuracy, improved stability, reduced component

count, and maximum versatility. An external bypass capacitor is

not recommended on the LE/HYS pin because it impairs the latch

function and often degrades the jitter performance of the device.

As described in the Using/Disabling the Latch Feature section,

hysteresis control need not compromise the latch function.

CROSSOVER BIAS POINTS

In both op amps and comparators, rail-to-rail inputs of this type

have a dual front-end design. Certain devices are active near the

mined point in the common-mode range, a crossover occurs. At

and the measured offset voltages and currents change.

The ADCMP606/ADCMP607 comparators slightly elaborate

on this scheme. Crossover points are found at approximately

0.6 V and 1.6 V common mode.

MINIMUM INPUT SLEW RATE REQUIREMENT

With the rated load capacitance and normal good PC Board

design practice, as discussed in the Optimizing Performance

section, these comparators should be stable at any input slew

rate with no hysteresis. Broadband noise from the input stage is

observed in place of the violent chattering seen with most other

high speed comparators. With additional capacitive loading or

poor bypassing, oscillation is observed. This oscillation is due to

the high gain bandwidth of the comparator in combination with

feedback parasitics in the package and PC board. In many

applications, chattering is not harmful.
