LT1016CN8

Overview

The LT1016CN8 is a single-channel ultra-fast precision comparator manufactured by Analog Devices in an 8-lead PDIP package. It operates from a single 5V supply or ±5V supplies, featuring a typical propagation delay of 10ns and a maximum input offset voltage of 3.5mV. The device draws 25mA positive supply current and 3mA negative supply current. It provides complementary CMOS/TTL outputs with a latch enable pin for data retention.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast response time with high gain-bandwidth product
• Compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels
• Integrated output latch capability for data retention
• Stable operation in the linear region without glitching

Applications

• High-speed A/D converters
• Crystal oscillators
• Zero-crossing detectors
• Fast pulse height/width discriminators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CN8 corresponds to the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and PDIP-8 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation as specifications may vary by revision. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead-free finish and tape/reel or tube packaging options available through designated sales channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low offset voltage and fast switching are critical. It is suitable for applications requiring direct interface to digital logic without additional buffering. Consider the power supply requirements, as it operates efficiently on standard 5V rails. Evaluate layout constraints due to high-speed sensitivity to parasitic capacitance and ground impedance.

Part Context

Part of the LT1016 family of ultra-fast comparators designed for precision applications. It shares architectural similarities with other high-speed comparators but distinguishes itself through stable linear region operation and integrated latch functionality. The CN8 variant specifically denotes the commercial grade temperature range within the PDIP-8 form factor.

Replacement Considerations

LT1016IN8#PBF offers the same electrical performance in an industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). LT1016CS8#PBF provides the same functionality in an 8-lead SOIC surface-mount package.
