For the ADCMP567, 0V overdrive dispersion is typically 35 ps as the overdrive is INPUT changed from 100 mV to 1 V. This specification applies for both 1 positive and negative overdrive since the ADCMP567 has equal delays for positive and negative going inputs. The 35 ps propagation delay overdrive dispersion of the ADCMP567 offers considerable improvement of the 100 ps dispersion of other similar series comparators. 1.5V OVERDRIVE0INPUT VOLTAGEOUTPUT20mV OVERDRIVEVREF ± VOS03633-0-005 Figure 5.

The transfer function for a comparator 10 with hysteresis is shown in Figure 5.

This oscillation is due in part to the produce hysteresis in a comparator (see Figure 9). The major high input bandwidth of the comparator and the parasitics of problem with this approach is that the amount of hysteresis the package. Analog Devices recommends a slew rate of 5 V/μs varies with the output logic levels, resulting in a hysteresis that or faster to ensure a clean output transition. If slew rates less is not symmetrical around zero. than 5 V/μs are used, then hysteresis should be added to reduce Another method to implement hysteresis is generated by the oscillation. introducing a differential voltage between LATCH ENABLE and LATCH ENABLE inputs (see Figure 10). Hysteresis generated in this manner is independent of output swing and is symmetrical around zero. The variation of hysteresis with input voltage is shown in Figure 6. Rev.
