TI TL3016 Comparator: Complementary TTL Outputs and Latch

Evaluate TL3016 by input common-mode range, overdrive-dependent delay and latch timing for fast threshold detection.

TL3016 is a fast voltage comparator with complementary outputs intended to interface to TTL logic. It can operate from a single 5 V supply or split ±5 V supplies. The two outputs provide opposite logic states from one comparison; they should not be mistaken for an LVDS line-driver pair.

The latch-enable terminal allows the output decision to be retained. That makes the device relevant to sampled threshold decisions and trigger circuits, but the latch timing must be coordinated with the input event and downstream sampling. A continuously comparing application also needs the latch control held in its appropriate state.

TI quotes a typical 7.6 ns propagation delay, which is not a universal worst-case response time. Compare switching conditions, input overdrive and common-mode range for the intended signal. Slow movement through a threshold can make external noise significant even though the device has no minimum input slew-rate requirement; threshold hysteresis and layout should be considered as part of the circuit.

Key Features

  • Complementary TTL outputsObtain both polarities of a comparison without assuming LVDS signaling.
  • Latchable decisionCoordinate latch control with the event and receiving logic.
  • Analog input limitsCheck common-mode range and threshold overdrive independently.

Target Applications

  • Fast threshold detection
  • Instrument trigger and sampled-comparison circuits
