Product details
Overview
LT1712IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual ultrafast rail-to-rail comparator with 4.5ns propagation delay at 20mV overdrive, complementary TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs, and independent latch enable inputs per channel. It operates from single 2.4V–7V or dual ±2.4V–±6V supplies and supports high-speed applications including crystal oscillator circuits, pulse width modulation, and A/D converter sampling triggers.
For engineers reviewing the LT1712IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LT1712IGN#TRPBF pinout, LT1712IGN#TRPBF application, or LT1712IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include differential propagation delay (≤1.5ns), latch setup time (1ns), input common mode range extending 100mV beyond rails, output drive capability (±10mA), and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The LT1712IGN#TRPBF integrates two independent high-speed comparators in a single 16-pin narrow SSOP package, each featuring rail-to-rail inputs, matched complementary outputs (Q and Q̅), and dedicated latch enable pins (LE A and LE B). Its internal architecture avoids phase reversal when inputs exceed supply rails and includes built-in latch hysteresis (~100mV) for noise immunity on latch signals.
Designed for precision timing-critical systems, it delivers 11psRMS output jitter at 30MHz and supports maximum toggle frequency up to 100MHz. The device maintains specified performance under ±5V, +5V/0V, and +2.7V/0V supply configurations, with input offset voltage drift of only 10µV/°C and CMRR ≥58dB over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 4.5ns typical at 20mV overdrive - enables sub-5ns decision timing in high-speed sampling and trigger circuits |
| Input Common Mode Range | –5.1V to +5.1V on ±5V supplies - allows direct interfacing with signals exceeding rails by 100mV without phase reversal |
| Output Drive Capability | Sinks 10mA to within 0.5V of GND / sources 10mA to within 0.7V of V+ - directly drives TTL/CMOS logic without external buffers |
| Latch Setup Time | 1ns - supports tight timing alignment between data and latch assertion in synchronous acquisition systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | Single: 2.4V–7V; Dual: ±2.4V–±6V - compatible with 3V, 5V, and ±5V system rails without level-shifting circuitry |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and test equipment environments |
| Output Timing Jitter | 11psRMS at 30MHz - ensures stable edge placement in clock recovery and high-fidelity signal discrimination |
Pinout & Package
LT1712IGN#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN) package, 0.150" wide, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin functions are validated per Linear Technology's official GN16 package drawing (LTC DWG #05-08-1641).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | Inverting Input A / Inverting Input B | Differential input terminals for Channel A and Channel B; rail-to-rail capable, tolerate 100mV beyond supply rails |
| 2, 7 | Noninverting Input A / Noninverting Input B | Differential input terminals for Channel A and Channel B; support common-mode voltages down to –5.1V on ±5V supplies |
| 3, 6 | Negative Supply (V–) | Shared negative rail connection; pins must be externally shorted for optimal noise rejection and shielding |
| 4, 5 | Positive Supply (V+) | Shared positive rail connection; pins must be externally shorted to reduce supply impedance and improve PSRR |
| 9, 16 | Latch Enable B / Latch Enable A | Active-high TTL/CMOS-compatible latch control; built-in ~100mV hysteresis prevents false triggering on slow/noisy edges |
| 10, 15 | GND (B Channel / A Channel) | Separate ground returns for each comparator channel; both typically tied to same system ground plane |
| 11, 12 | QB, Q̅B | Complementary outputs for Channel B; rail-to-rail swing, capable of ±10mA drive into resistive loads |
| 13, 14 | Q̅A, QA | Complementary outputs for Channel A; fully matched to Channel B for differential timing-critical applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Supports input voltages from –0.1V to V+ + 0.1V on single supply - eliminates need for external level shifters in mixed-supply systems |
| Independent per-channel latches | Enables asynchronous capture of two separate high-speed events with <1ns setup requirement - critical for dual-edge sampling |
| Matched complementary outputs | Q/Q̅ pair delay mismatch ≤1.5ns - preserves signal integrity in LVDS-like differential receivers and window comparator topologies |
| No phase reversal under overdrive | Continues correct comparison behavior even when inputs exceed rails by >100mV - improves robustness in noisy or transient-prone environments |
| Guaranteed industrial temperature operation | Full electrical specs validated from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for automotive under-hood, industrial PLC, and ATE applications |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LT1712IGN#TRPBF?
The LT1712IGN#TRPBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 12.6V between V+ and V–, with V+ to GND rated at 12.6V and V– to GND rated from –10V to 0.3V. For reliable operation, the recommended supply range is 2.4V–7V single-ended or ±2.4V–±6V dual-ended. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage, especially under transient conditions.
Does LT1712IGN#TRPBF support single-supply operation?
Yes, LT1712IGN#TRPBF fully supports single-supply operation from 2.4V to 7V with V– connected to GND. Its rail-to-rail input stage accepts common-mode voltages from –0.1V to V+ + 0.1V, and outputs swing within 0.5V of GND (low) and 0.7V of V+ (high) while sinking or sourcing 10mA - enabling direct interface with 3V or 5V logic families without level shifters.
How does the latch function work on LT1712IGN#TRPBF?
The LT1712IGN#TRPBF features two independent latch enable inputs (Pin 9 for Channel B, Pin 16 for Channel A). When either latch pin is driven high, the corresponding comparator's output state is held until the latch pin returns low. Each latch includes ~100mV hysteresis to reject noise, and requires only 1ns setup time. Latch propagation delay is 5ns, ensuring deterministic data capture in synchronous systems.
Can LT1712IGN#TRPBF inputs safely exceed the supply rails?
Yes - the LT1712IGN#TRPBF inputs are designed to operate 100mV beyond both supply rails without phase reversal or damage. On ±5V supplies, the input common mode range is specified from –5.1V to +5.1V; on +5V/0V supplies, it extends from –0.1V to +5.1V. Schottky clamp diodes prevent substrate conduction during overdrive, enabling robust operation in noisy or mismatched signal environments.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the LT1712IGN#TRPBF package?
The LT1712IGN#TRPBF in its 16-lead narrow SSOP (GN) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 120°C/W, measured under standard JEDEC conditions (2s2p board, 1-inch² copper pad). This value assumes proper PCB layout with adequate copper pour and thermal vias. At maximum rated load and 85°C ambient, junction temperature remains below the 150°C limit when supply current is kept within datasheet specifications.
