Product details
Overview
HMC675LP3E from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is a SiGe monolithic latched comparator with 10 GHz equivalent input bandwidth, 100 ps propagation delay, and reduced-swing CML (RSCML) outputs. It operates in latch or track mode, supports 10 Gbps data rates, and delivers 0.2 ps rms random jitter - ideal for high-speed ATE and clock/data restoration systems.
For engineers reviewing the HMC675LP3E datasheet, HMC675LP3E pinout, HMC675LP3E application, or HMC675LP3E equivalent, key selection criteria include latch enable timing (45 ps setup, –42 ps hold), resistor-programmable hysteresis, differential input impedance (15 kΩ), RSCML output drive (400 mV into 50 Ω), and –40 °C to +85 °C operating range.
Technical Context
The HMC675LP3E integrates three functional blocks: a high-gain input amplifier, a level-sensitive single latch, and an RSCML output buffer. Its latch control uses complementary LE/LE_bar inputs with 8 kΩ input impedance and supports both transparent (track) and hold (latch) modes based on differential latch enable state.
Input stage features 50 Ω differential impedance and ±1.75 V differential voltage range; output stage delivers 400 mV swing into 50 Ω terminated to ground, with Q/QB rise/fall times of 27 ps/18 ps. Power supply configuration requires Vcci = +3.3 V, Vcco = 0 V, and Vee = –3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Equivalent Input Bandwidth | 10 GHz - enables accurate digitization of ultrafast analog transients up to ~100 ps risetime signals |
| Propagation Delay | 100 ps typ. - ensures minimal latency in high-speed decision circuits like serial data recovery |
| Minimum Pulse Width | 60 ps - supports reliable latching of sub-100 ps logic pulses in pulse spectroscopy or trigger applications |
| Random Jitter (RJ) | 0.2 ps rms at 10 Gbps - critical for maintaining eye opening in high-speed serial links |
| Output Swing | 400 mV into 50 Ω - directly interfaces with standard CML/PECL receivers without external termination or level-shifting |
| Hysteresis Control | Resistor-programmable via HYS pin - allows precise noise immunity tuning from 0 mV to >10 mV depending on Rhys value |
| Power Dissipation | 100 mW - enables dense placement in RF instrumentation without excessive thermal management |
Pinout & Package
16-lead 3×3 mm SMT package (9 mm² footprint) with exposed paddle requiring connection to Vee (–3 V). RoHS-compliant low-stress plastic body, matte Sn lead finish, MSL1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4 | VTP / VTN | Termination return pins for INP/INN - must be tied to appropriate bias voltage (e.g., 2 V for DC-coupled clocks) or ground (for AC-coupled) |
| 2, 3 | INP / INN | Differential analog inputs with 50 Ω impedance - accept ±1.75 V differential swing and support common-mode range of –1.75 V to +1.75 V |
| 5, 16 | Vcci | +3.3 V supply for input amplifier - decoupling required near pins to maintain 10 GHz bandwidth stability |
| 6, 7 | LE / LE_bar | Complementary latch enable inputs - define latch vs. track mode; 8 kΩ input impedance allows flexible termination options |
| 9, 12 | Vcco | 0 V output stage supply - establishes RSCML reference for 400 mV swing into 50 Ω to ground |
| 10, 11 | Q / QB | Differential RSCML outputs - provide true/complement logic states with 27 ps rise / 18 ps fall times |
| 13 | Vee | –3 V negative supply - must connect to exposed paddle for thermal and electrical integrity |
| 14 | HYS | Hysteresis control terminal - open for zero hysteresis; resistor to Vee sets hysteresis per graph (e.g., 10 kΩ ≈ 1 mV) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latch/Track Mode Selection | Configurable via LE/LE_bar differential state - eliminates need for external mode-control logic in adaptive sampling systems |
| Resistor-Programmable Hysteresis | Adjustable from 0 mV to >10 mV using single external resistor - enables optimization for varying SNR conditions without redesign |
| RSCML Output Stage | 400 mV swing into 50 Ω - reduces power vs. full-swing CML while maintaining compatibility with industry-standard receivers |
| Low Timing Dispersion | 10 ps overdrive/slew rate dispersion - ensures consistent decision timing across wide input signal amplitudes |
| High Input Bandwidth | 10 GHz equivalent input bandwidth - preserves fidelity of fast-risetime signals in broadband test equipment front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar latched comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADCMP572BCPZ-R7 | Lower 6.5 GHz bandwidth; 130 ps propagation delay; CMOS output (not RSCML); no latch enable | Targeted at general-purpose high-speed comparison, not 10 Gbps latch-synchronized acquisition | Choose when RSCML interface or sub-100 ps timing is not required and cost sensitivity dominates |
| HMC874LC3C | Same SiGe process; 13 GHz bandwidth; 85 ps propagation delay; fixed hysteresis only; no programmable latch mode | Optimized for fixed-function clock/data recovery, not configurable ATE or instrumentation use cases | Choose when maximum bandwidth and lowest delay are critical, and latch mode flexibility is unnecessary |
Compared with ADCMP572BCPZ-R7 and HMC874LC3C, the HMC675LP3E uniquely balances 10 GHz bandwidth, programmable hysteresis, dual-mode (latch/track) operation, and RSCML output compatibility - making it the only option supporting adaptive high-speed acquisition in ATE and reconfigurable receiver designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the HMC675LP3E?
The HMC675LP3E is specified for operation from –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. This range is validated across all key parameters including propagation delay, jitter, and input offset voltage. The device's thermal resistance (junction-to-lead) is 23 °C/W, and derating begins above 85 °C at 43.5 mW/°C. Full performance compliance is guaranteed within this industrial-grade envelope for HMC675LP3E.
How does the HMC675LP3E implement latch versus track mode?
The HMC675LP3E selects latch or track mode via the differential state of LE and LE_bar pins: latch mode activates when LE–LE_bar is high (logic HI), holding the output at the input state just before the latch enable transition; track mode activates when LE–LE_bar is low or both pins float, causing Q/QB to follow INP/INN continuously. This dual-mode capability is intrinsic to the HMC675LP3E architecture and requires no external configuration registers or firmware.
What is the purpose of the HYS pin on the HMC675LP3E?
The HYS pin on the HMC675LP3E provides resistor-programmable hysteresis: leaving it open yields zero hysteresis; connecting it to Vee (–3 V) through a resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ) introduces controlled hysteresis (1–10 mV typical) to improve noise immunity. The relationship between Rhys and hysteresis voltage is documented in the datasheet graph, enabling precise tuning for specific signal-to-noise conditions in the HMC675LP3E application.
Can the HMC675LP3E drive 50 Ω loads directly?
Yes - the HMC675LP3E's RSCML output stage is designed to drive 50 Ω loads terminated to ground, delivering a nominal 400 mV differential swing. No external resistors or level-shifting circuitry are needed when interfacing with standard CML/PECL receivers. The output voltage levels (Voh ≈ 0 mV, Vol ≈ –400 mV) and 27 ps/18 ps rise/fall times are fully characterized under this 50 Ω load condition for HMC675LP3E.
What power supplies does the HMC675LP3E require?
The HMC675LP3E requires three independent supplies: Vcci = +3.3 V (input stage), Vcco = 0 V (output stage reference), and Vee = –3 V (negative rail). Total power dissipation is 100 mW (9 mA Icci + 8 mA Icco + 24 mA Iee). All supplies must be well-decoupled; the exposed paddle must be soldered to Vee for thermal and electrical integrity in every HMC675LP3E implementation.
