LT1016CS8#TRPBF

Overview

The LT1016CS8#TRPBF is a single-channel ultra-fast precision comparator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates on a single 5V supply or ±5V supplies, featuring a propagation delay of 10ns typical and 14ns maximum at 25°C with 5mV overdrive. The device provides complementary CMOS/TTL outputs capable of sourcing or sinking 20mA. Key electrical parameters include an input offset voltage of 1mV typical, input bias current of 13µA typical, and quiescent currents of 25mA positive and 3mA negative. It is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO package.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast response time suitable for high-speed applications
• Compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels
• Low input offset voltage for precision performance
• Output latch capability to retain input data

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the #TRPBF suffix indicates tape and reel packaging rather than tube. Confirm the 'C' designation corresponds to the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Ensure the order matches the specific lead-free finish requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor catalogs to confirm availability status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when nanosecond-level switching speeds are required alongside precision offset characteristics. The single-channel configuration fits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 5V or ±5V supply rails align with system power constraints. Consider the output drive strength if interfacing directly with heavy capacitive loads without buffering.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LT1016 family of ultra-fast comparators. It shares core electrical specifications with the LT1016CN8#PBF and LT1016IS8#PBF variants. The primary distinctions lie in the operating temperature range and physical package type. The CS8 variant specifically denotes the commercial grade plastic SOIC package.

FAQ

What is the function of the LATCH pin?

The LATCH pin retains the input data at the outputs when held high. It requires a setup time of 5ns before going high and a hold time of 3ns after.

How does the LT1016 handle slow-moving input signals?

It features an active drive output stage that remains stable in the linear region, significantly reducing output glitching associated with slow slew rates.
