3 Description
The TLV3603-EP is a 325MHz, high speed
comparator with rail-to-rail inputs and a propagation
delay of 2.5ns. The combination of fast response and
wide operating voltage range make the comparator an
excellent choice for narrow signal pulse detection and
data and clock recovery applications in radar imaging
and communications payload systems.
The push-pull (single-ended) outputs of the TLV3603-
EP simplify and save cost on board-to-board wiring
for I/O interfaces while reducing power consumption
when compared to alternative high-speed differential
output comparators. In addition, the TLV3603-EP
offers the features such as adjustable hysteresis
control and output latch capability. The comparator
can directly interface most prevailing digital controllers
and IO expanders in the downstream.
The TLV3603-EP uses a high-speed complementary
BiCMOS process and is available in a 6-pin, SOT-23
package.
