Product details
Overview
LT1394IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultrafast, ground-sensing comparator with complementary TTL/CMOS outputs and internal latch functionality. It delivers 7ns propagation delay, 0.8mV input offset voltage, and operates from single 5V or dual ±5V supplies. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail - enabling current-sense applications in switching regulators and high-speed zero-crossing detection.
For engineers reviewing the LT1394IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1394IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1394IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1394IS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, latch timing behavior, ground-sensing input operation, SO-8 package mechanical data, and validated alternatives for high-speed comparator selection in precision timing, A/D front-ends, and adaptive trigger circuits.
Technical Context
The LT1394IS8#TRPBF uses a PNP differential input stage enabling rail-to-rail negative common-mode operation down to V–, with no minimum input slew rate requirement. Its output stage provides active drive in both directions into TTL, CMOS, or passive loads, minimizing cross-conduction current and ensuring stable response even during slow input transitions.
It integrates a TTL/CMOS-compatible latch controlled by Pin 5 (LATCH ENABLE), with guaranteed 6ns latch propagation delay, –0.4ns setup time, and 2ns hold time. The latch retains output state while LATCH is high, and new input data appears at outputs within 6ns after LATCH goes low - independent of supply voltage variation across –5V to –2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 7ns typical (100mV step, 5mV overdrive); enables sub-10ns decision timing in high-speed sampling and pulse discrimination. |
| Input Offset Voltage (VOS) | 0.8mV max (–40°C to 85°C); supports precision threshold detection in current-sense and V/F converter applications. |
| Supply Range | Single 5V or dual ±5V; allows flexible integration in mixed-supply systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –5V to +3.5V on ±5V supplies; permits direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or negative rails. |
| Latch Propagation Delay (tLPD) | 6ns max; ensures deterministic data capture timing for synchronous sampling and gated measurement systems. |
| Output Drive | ±4mA sink/source (VOH = 2.4V min, VOL = 0.5V max); directly interfaces to TTL/CMOS logic without external buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | 6mA positive supply current (I+), 1.2mA negative supply current (I–); balances speed and power in battery-sensitive or thermally constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
LT1394IS8#TRPBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, and rated for –40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 4.6V–5.4V (single 5V) or up to +7V (dual supply); powers internal bias and output stages. |
| +IN (Pin 2) | Noninverting input | High-impedance PNP input; accepts signals down to V– without phase reversal or damage. |
| –IN (Pin 3) | Inverting input | Matches +IN in voltage range and overvoltage tolerance; enables differential or single-ended configurations. |
| V– (Pin 4) | Negative supply input | Supports 0V (single supply) or –5V (dual supply); defines lower bound of input common-mode range. |
| LATCH ENABLE (Pin 5) | Asynchronous latch control | Active-high TTL/CMOS-compatible signal; holds Q and Q̅ outputs when high, releases on falling edge. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Ground reference | Return path for bias currents and output loads; must be low-inductance connection for stability. |
| Q OUT (Pin 7) | Noninverting logic output | Active-high TTL/CMOS output; high when +IN > –IN and LATCH ENABLE is low. |
| Q OUT (Pin 8) | Inverting logic output | Active-low TTL/CMOS output; complements Q OUT; enables direct connection to flip-flop clock inputs. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1016CS8#PBF | Slower (10ns tPD), higher VOS (1.5mV), no latch, same SO-8 pinout | Lacks latch functionality and ground-sensing capability; unsuitable for current-sense or gated sampling. | Select when latch and rail-to-rail input are unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirements. |
| ADCMP572BCPZ-R2 | Faster (4.5ns tPD), ECL/PECL outputs, requires negative supply, different pinout | Requires level translation for TTL/CMOS interfacing; not pin-compatible; higher power (25mA). | Select only when sub-5ns timing is mandatory and system already supports ECL logic levels and layout. |
Compared with LT1016CS8#PBF and ADCMP572BCPZ-R2, the LT1394IS8#TRPBF uniquely combines 7ns speed, integrated latch, ground-sensing input, and TTL/CMOS compatibility in SO-8 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and latch-dependent high-speed comparator applications.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LT1394IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1394IS8#TRPBF is specified and tested over –40°C to +85°C, with all key parameters including propagation delay, offset voltage, and latch timing validated across this extended industrial temperature range - unlike the commercial-grade LT1394CS8 variant.
Does the LT1394IS8#TRPBF require external pull-up resistors on its Q and Q̅ outputs?
No. The LT1394IS8#TRPBF features actively driven complementary TTL/CMOS outputs capable of sourcing 4mA and sinking 10mA. External pull-ups are unnecessary and would degrade switching speed and increase power consumption.
Can the LT1394IS8#TRPBF operate from a single 3.3V supply?
No. The LT1394IS8#TRPBF is not characterized for 3.3V operation. Its absolute maximum positive supply is 7V, but the datasheet specifies performance only for single 5V (4.6V–5.4V) or dual ±5V supplies. Operation outside these conditions risks parameter degradation or latch instability.
How does the latch function behave when the LATCH ENABLE pin is left floating?
The LATCH ENABLE pin of the LT1394IS8#TRPBF has internal weak pull-up, causing it to float high. If unconnected, the latch remains continuously enabled - freezing Q and Q̅ outputs regardless of input changes. For normal comparator operation, tie LATCH ENABLE to GND unless latching is explicitly required.
Is the LT1394IS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LT1671IS8#TRPBF?
Yes. The LT1394IS8#TRPBF shares identical SO-8 pinout, supply configuration, and complementary output structure with the LT1671IS8#TRPBF. Both support single 5V/dual ±5V operation and ground-sensing inputs, enabling direct replacement where 7ns speed suffices over LT1671's 4.5ns rating.
