Texas Instruments TLV3604/TLV3605/TLV3607 High-Speed Comparators

Texas Instruments TLV3604, TLV3605, and TLV3607 High-Speed Rail-to-Rail Comparators are 800ps high-speed comparators with a wide power supply range, rail-to-rail inputs, and a very high toggle frequency of 1.5GHz. Along with an operating voltage range of 2.4V to 5.5V, all these features come in industry-standard small packages, making this device an excellent choice for LIDAR, differential line receiver applications, and test and measurement systems. The TLV3604, TLV3605, and TLV36074 have very strong input overdrive performance of 450ps and narrow pulse width capabilities of just 600ns. This combination of low variation in propagation delay due to input overdrive and its ability to detect narrow pulses make these devices an excellent choice for Time-of-Flight (ToF) applications such as factory automation and drone vision.

The Low-Voltage-Differential-Signal (LVDS) output of the Texas Instruments TLV3604, TLV3605, and TLV3607 helps increase data throughput and optimizes power consumption. The complementary outputs help to reduce EMI by suppressing common-mode noise on each output. The LVDS output is designed to drive and interface directly with other devices that accept a standard LVDS input, such as most FPGAs and CPUs downstream in an application. The TLV3604 is in a tiny 6-pin SC-70 package, which makes it easier for space-sensitive applications such as an optical sensor module. The TLV3605 maintains the same performance as the TLV3604 and also offers adjustable hysteresis control, shutdown, and latching features in a 12-pin QFN package. These features make it an excellent choice for test and measurement applications.
