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.
