The LT1016 is a 10ns ultrafast comparator from Linear Technology. It can interface directly with TTL/CMOS logic and can operate in either ±5V or single 5V supply. The LT1016 offers high precision, high gain, matched complementary outputs, and a unique output stage that provides active drive in both directions for maximum speed into TTL/CMOS logic or passive loads.
The LT1016 is an UltraFast 10 ns comparator that operates from a single 5 V supply and offers complementary TTL/CMOS outputs. It features a low offset voltage, high gain, and a unique latch pin that provides output hold capability without large current spikes.
Designed for high‑speed applications such as A/D converters, sampling circuits, crystal oscillators and zero‑crossing detectors, the device includes extensive application notes, typical performance curves, and recommended layout practices to ensure stable operation in nanosecond‑scale digital systems.
| Propagation Delay (tpp) | 10 ns typ, 14 ns max |
|---|---|
| Output High Voltage (Voh) | ≥4.6 V |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 3 mA |
| Package | 8‑Lead Plastic Small Outline (Narrow .150 Inch) |
The typical propagation delay is 10 ns, with a maximum of 14 ns.
The LT1016 draws only about 3 mA of quiescent supply current.
The LATCH pin retains input data when it goes high and requires at least 5 ns setup and 3 ns hold time for reliable operation.
