The TLV380x/TLV3811(C) have a very strong input
overdrive performance of 5 ps, and narrow pulse
width capabilities of just 240 ps. This combination
of low variation in propagation delay due to input
overdrive and the ability to detect narrow pulses make
these devices excellent choices for Time-of-Flight
(ToF) applications such as in factory automation and
drone vision.
Low propagation delay: 225 ps
Low overdrive dispersion: 5 ps
Quiescent current: 17 mA
High toggle frequency: 3 GHz /6 Gbps
Narrow pulse width detection capability: 240 ps
LVDS output
Split input and output ground reference
Single supply voltage: 2.7 V to 5.25 V
Low input offset voltage: ±0.5 mV
Internal 2 mV hysteresis: TLV380x
Internal 1.1 mV hysteresis: TLV3811
Internal 0 mV hysteresis: TLV3811C
Packages: TLV3801 (8-Pin WSON), TLV3811(C)
(6-Pin DSBGA), TLV3802 (12-Pin WSON)
The Low-Voltage-Differential-Signal (LVDS) output
of the TLV380x/TLV3811(C) helps increase data
throughput and optimizes power consumption.
Likewise, 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 TLV3801 and TLV3802 are in an 8-pin WSON
and 12-pin WSON package, respectively, while the
TLV3811(C) is in a tiny 6-pin DSBGA package, which
makes them desirable for space sensitive applications
such as an optical sensor module.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TLV380x/TLV3811(C) are high-speed comparators with LVDS output. The fast response time of these
comparators make them well suited for applications that require narrow pulse width detection or high toggle
frequencies. The TLV3801 is available in the 8-pin WSON package and the TLV3802 is available in the 12-pin
WSON package while the TLV3811(C) is available in the 6-pin DSBGA package.

7.3 Feature Description
The TLV380x/TLV3811(C) are high-speed comparators with a typical propagation delay of 225 ps and LVDS
output. The minimum pulse width detection capability is 240 ps and the typical toggle frequency is 3 GHz (6
Gbps). These comparators are well suited for distance sensing for LIDAR and time-of-flight applications as well
as for high-speed test and measurement systems. The TLV380x has two separate power rails for the input and
the output; this allows the input to be referenced from either single or split supply (VCC and VEE) while the
output is referenced from ground (VCC and GND). On the other hand, the TLV3811(C) has one power rail for
both inputs and outputs and can only be operated at a single supply.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
The TLV380x has a single functional mode and is operational on the condition that both the input supply voltage
(VCC - VEE) is greater than or equal to 2.7 V and the output supply voltage (VCC - GND) is greater than or
equal to 2.4 V.
The TLV3811(C) has a single functional mode and is operational when the power supply voltage (VCC - GND) is
greater than or equal to 2.7 V.
7.4.1 Inputs
The TLV380x/TLV3811(C) feature an input stage, capable of operating between 1.5 V above VEE (GND for
TLV3811(C)) and 0.1 V above VCC, with an internal ESD protection circuit that includes two pairs of front-toback diodes between IN+ and IN- as well as two 50 Ω resistors, as shown in Figure 7-1. This prevents damage
to the input stage by limiting the differential input voltage to be no more than twice the diode's forward-voltage
drop 2 × VF (2 × 0.7 V).

When the differential input voltage exceeds 2 × VF, the input bias current increases at the input pins IN+ and IN-,
as shown in Equation 1.
Input Current = [(VIN+ - VIN-) - 2 × VF] / (2 × 50)
(1)
To avoid damaging the inputs when exceeding the recommended input voltage range, an external resistor
should be used to limit the current. The current should be limited to less than 10 mA.
7.4.2 LVDS Output
The TLV380x/TLV3811(C) outputs are LVDS compliant. When the input of the downstream device is terminated
with a 100 Ω resistor, the comparators provide a ±350 mV differential swing at an output common-mode
voltage of 1.25 V above GND. Fully differential outputs enable fast digital toggling and reduce EMI compared to
single-ended output standards.

8 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Capacitive Loads
Under reasonable capacitive loads, the device maintains specified propagation delay. However, excessive
capacitive loading under high switching frequencies may increase supply current, propagation delay, or induce
decreased slew rate.
8.1.2 Hysteresis
A comparator's high, open-loop gain creates a small band of input differential voltage where the comparator
may produce "chatter" which causes the output to toggle back and forth between a “logic high” and a “logic
low”. This can cause design challenges for inputs with slow rise and fall times or systems with excessive noise.
These challenges can be prevented by adding hysteresis to the comparator. However, hysteresis must be added
strategically when input signals are small since it can cuase signals to go undetected. As a result, TLV3811C
is optimized for detecting small, fast-switching inputs and has 0 mV of internal hysteresis. On the other hand,
for detecting larger input signals in the presense of noise, the TLV3811 has 1.1 mV of internal hysteresis and
TLV3801 and TLV3802 have 2 mV.
Since the TLV380x/TLV3811(C) only have a minimal amount of internal hysteresis, external hysteresis can be
applied in the form of a positive feedback loop that adjusts the trip point of the comparator depending on its
current output state. See the Non-Inverting Comparator With Hysteresis section for more details.
8.2 Typical Application
8.2.1 Optical Receiver
The TLV380x/TLV3811(C) can be used in conjunction with a high performance amplifier such as the OPA858
to create an optical receiver as shown in the Figure 8-1. The photodiode operates in photoconductive mode:
exposure to light will cause a reverse current through the photodiode. A bias voltage is applied to the op
amp's non-inverting input to prevent saturation at the negative power supply. The OPA858 takes the current
conducting through the diode and translates it into a voltage for a high speed comparator to detect. The
TLV380x/TLV3811(C) will then output the proper LVDS signal according to the threshold set (VREF).

Set VBIAS to be in the recommended common-mode voltage range of the OPA858. This is also the minimum
output voltage of the op amp VOUT, MIN as the op amp will attempt to settle at the voltage applied to the
non-inverting input.
The maximum output voltage of the op amp VOUT, MAX can be calculated from the desired output voltage swing
VOUT, SWING and VOUT, MIN, as shown in Equation 2.
VOUT, MAX = VOUT, SWING + VOUT, MIN

The gain resistor RF is determined by the desired VOUT,
through the diode, as shown in Equation 2.

and VOUT,
MIN
and the maximum current IDIODE
RF = (VOUT, MAX - VOUT, MIN) / IDIODE
(3)
The feedback capacitor, in combinaton with the gain resistor, forms a pole in the frequency response of the
amplifier. The feedback capacitor can be determined by the gain resistor and the desired pole frequency fp, as
shown in Equation 2.
CF = 1 / (2 × π × RF x fp)
(4)
Set VREF to be the switching threshold voltage between VOUT, MAX and VOUT, MIN.
Select values for VBIAS and VREF. Plug in given values for VOUT, MAX, IDIODE, and f p. For the given example, VBIAS
= 1.5 V, VREF = 1.55 V, and RF, CF is solved as 1 kΩ and 1 pF, respectively.

First, create an equation for VT that covers both output voltages when the output is high or low.

(5)
VT2 = VREFR2 + QR1
R1+R2 R1+R2

The hysteresis voltage in this network is equal to the difference in the two threshold voltage equations.

Note that these equations do not take into account the effects of the internal hysteresis and offset voltage of the
comparator. Design parameters will need to be adjusted accordingly.
Select a value for R2. Plug in given values for VREF, VT1, VT2, Q, and Q, and solve for R1. For the given
example, R2 = 50 kΩ, and R1 is solved as = 8.3 kΩ.

8.2.4 External Trigger Function for Oscilloscopes
Figure 8-6 is a typical configuration for creating an external trigger on oscilliscopes. The user adjusts the trigger
level, and a DAC converts this trigger level to a voltage the TLV380x/TLV3811(C) can use as a reference. The
input voltage from an oscilloscope channel is then compared to the trigger reference voltage, and the TLV380x/
TLV3811(C) sends an LVDS signal to a downstream FPGA to begin a capture. It is common to see bipolar
inputs in test and measurement systems such as oscilloscopes; therefore, the TLV380x can be configured in
split supply so that the inputs are in the allowable input voltage range.

8.3 Power Supply Recommendations
The TLV380x has two seperate power rails: VCC - VEE for the input stage and VCC - GND for the output stage.
This allows for both single and split supply capabilities for the input stage with a seperate ground reference for
the LVDS output stage. Split supply operation allows users to apply both positive and negative (bipolar) voltages
to the input pins.
When operating from a single supply, the supply voltage range for both the input and output stage is 2.7 V to
5.25 V. When operating from split supply rails, the supply voltage range for the input stage (VCC - VEE) is 2.7
V to 5.25 V, and the supply voltage range for the output stage (VCC - GND) is 2.4 V to 5.25 V. The output logic
level is independent of the VCC and VEE levels. The TLV3811(C) is specified for operation from 2.4 V to 5.25 V
and can only be operated from a single supply with both inputs and outputs referenced to GND.
Regardless of single supply or split supply operation, proper decoupling capacitors are required. It is
recommended to use a scheme of multiple, low-ESR ceramic capacitors from the supply pins to the ground
plane for optimum performance. A good combination would be 100 pF, 10 nF, and 1 uF with the lowest value
capacitor closest to the comparator.

8.4 Layout
8.4.1 Layout Guidelines
Comparators are very sensitive to input noise. For best results, adhere to the following layout guidelines.
1. Use a printed-circuit-board (PCB) with a good, unbroken, low-inductance ground plane. Proper grounding
(use of a ground plane) helps maintain specified device performance.
2. To minimize supply noise for single and split supply, place decoupling capacitor arrays as close as possible
to VCC.
3. On the inputs and the output, keep lead lengths as short as possible to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback
around the comparator. Keep inputs away from the output.
4. Solder the device directly to the PCB rather than using a socket.
5. For slow-moving input signals, take care to prevent parasitic feedback. A small capacitor (1000 pF or less)
placed between the inputs can help eliminate oscillations in the transition region. This capacitor causes
some degradation to propagation delay when impedance is low. The topside ground plane runs between the
output and inputs.
6. Use a 100 Ω termination resistor across the device's LVDS output.
7. Use higher performance substrate materials such as Rogers.
