Product details
Overview
LMH7220MK/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-speed comparator with LVDS differential output, operating from 2.7V to 12V supply, delivering 2.9 ns propagation delay, 0.6 ns rise/fall times, and 325 mV differential swing into 100Ω, used in oscilloscope triggering and fast line reception.
For engineers reviewing the LMH7220MK/NOPB datasheet, LMH7220MK/NOPB pinout, LMH7220MK/NOPB application, or LMH7220MK/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated 6-pin SOT package mapping, confirmed LVDS output compliance, temperature-stable offset performance (±9.5 mV), and real-world timing behavior across 2.7V–12V operation.
Technical Context
The LMH7220MK/NOPB implements a current-mode LVDS output stage with internal 1.2 V common-mode reference and dual 3.25 mA current sources, enabling standardized 325 mV differential swing across 100Ω loads independent of supply voltage. Its input stage supports common-mode range down to −0.2 V (200 mV below ground) on single-supply operation.
Propagation delay dispersion is characterized at ≤0.86 ns over 20–100 mV overdrive and ≤0.46 ns over 100 mV–1 V, with Q-to-Q skew <0.09 ns at 100 mV overdrive and 2 pF load - confirming tight channel matching for high-speed differential signaling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADCMP572BCPZ-R7 | PECL output (not LVDS); 2.5 ns propagation delay; requires negative supply for full common-mode range | Better suited for ECL-terminated systems; lacks ground-sensing capability below GND | Select when interfacing to legacy PECL logic or ultra-low-jitter clock distribution, not LVDS buses |
| TLV3501AIDBVR | CMOS output; 4.5 ns delay; 2.7–5.5 V supply only; no differential output | Requires external LVDS driver; limited to lower-speed applications (<200 Mbps) | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-LVDS designs where board space permits discrete driver implementation |
Compared with ADCMP572BCPZ-R7 and TLV3501AIDBVR, LMH7220MK/NOPB uniquely combines true LVDS compliance, ground-sensing input, and sub-3 ns delay in a 6-pin SOT - making it the only drop-in solution for space-constrained, high-speed differential receiver nodes requiring ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 interoperability.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed propagation delay specification for LMH7220MK/NOPB across its full operating temperature range?
The LMH7220MK/NOPB guarantees propagation delay ≤3.8 ns over −40°C to +125°C at 100 mV overdrive and 5V supply, per TI SNOSAL3E Rev. May 2013 datasheet Figure 14. This includes worst-case variation due to temperature, ensuring timing predictability in automotive and industrial control systems where LMH7220MK/NOPB serves as a critical decision element.
Does LMH7220MK/NOPB require external termination resistors for LVDS output compliance?
Yes - LMH7220MK/NOPB requires an external 100Ω differential termination resistor placed at the receiver end of the transmission line. The device's current-mode LVDS outputs deliver 3.25 mA per leg, producing the standard 325 mV differential swing across that 100Ω load. No internal termination is provided; correct external termination is mandatory for signal integrity and ANSI/TIA/EIA-644 compliance.
Can LMH7220MK/NOPB operate with a 3.3V supply while maintaining full AC performance specifications?
Yes - LMH7220MK/NOPB is fully specified at 3.3V (within its 2.7V–12V range). At 3.3V, typical propagation delay is 3.0 ns and toggle rate reaches 750 Mb/s (SNOSAL3E, Table +3.3V AC Characteristics). Input common-mode range remains −0.2 V to 1.3 V, and LVDS output swing stays compliant at 325 mV differential, confirming full functionality in modern 3.3V digital systems.
How does the input stage of LMH7220MK/NOPB handle overvoltage conditions beyond its absolute maximum ratings?
The LMH7220MK/NOPB input pins include ESD diodes clamping to VCC and GND, plus anti-parallel base-emitter protection diodes across the differential pair. Exceeding ±13V differential input or applying >VCC+0.2V to any pin risks forward-biasing these diodes, causing elevated input current (>±5 µA) and potential damage. TI recommends external clamping or limiting resistors if overvoltage transients are expected in the application using LMH7220MK/NOPB.
Is LMH7220MK/NOPB pin-compatible with other members of the LMH72xx family, such as LMH7221?
No - LMH7220MK/NOPB (6-pin SOT-23) is not pin-compatible with LMH7221 (8-pin SOIC), which adds enable and latch functions. Pin count, layout, and terminal assignments differ fundamentally. LMH7220MK/NOPB has dedicated IN+, IN−, VCC, GND, OUT Q, and OUT Q̅ pins; LMH7221 introduces EN and LATCH pins, altering both footprint and signal routing. Migration requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation for LMH7221's additional features.
