MAX40025A/MAX40025C/ MAX40026 280ps High-Speed Comparator, Ultra-Low Dispersion with LVDS Outputs General Description Benefits and Features The MAX40025 and MAX40026 are single-supply, highspeed comparators with a typical propagation delay of 280ps. The overdrive dispersion is extremely low (typical 25ps), making these comparators ideal for time-of-flight distance measurement applications. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● The input common mode range of 1.5V to VDD + 0.1V is compatible with the output swings of several widely used high-speed trans-impedance amplifiers, such as the MAX40658. The output stage is LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling), which helps to minimize power dissipation and interfaces directly with many FPGAs and CPUs. Complementary outputs help in suppression of common-mode noise on each output line. The MAX40025 is offered in a space-saving, tiny, 1.218mm x 0.818mm, 6-bump wafer-level package (WLP), while the MAX40026 is available in a 2mm x 2mm 8-pin TDFN side-wettable package and meets AEC-Q100 automotive qualification requirements.

The overdrive dispersion is extremely low (25ps, typ.), making these comparators ideal for time-of-flight distance measurement applications. The input common-mode range of 1.5V to VDD + 0.1V is compatible with the outputs of several widely used high-speed transimpedance amplifiers, such as the MAX40658. The output stage is LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling), which helps to minimize power dissipation and interfaces directly with many modern FPGAs and CPUs. The MAX40025 and MAX40026 operate from a +2.7V to +3.6V power supply voltage while typically consuming only 17mA quiescent current at 3.3V. The MAX40025 and MAX40026 are available in space-saving 6-WLP and 8-TDFN packages, respectively. LVDS Outputs Each LVDS output has a switched 3.25 mA current source. The outputs are differentially terminated with an external 100Ω resistor, which produces a ±350 mV differential output. The power delivered to the 100Ω load resistor is only 1.1mW while enabling transmission data rates up to a few hundreds of Megabits per second. The output common-mode voltage is maintained at 1.23 V on both outputs, and is independent of power supply voltage. The fully differential LVDS outputs provide high-speed digital signalling with reduced EMI compared to single-ended outputs. System Timing Definitions Table 1.

System Timing Diagram Propagation Delay The propagation delay is defined as the delay between the differential comparator input voltage changing polarity and the output(s) reaching the mid-point of the high-to-low or low-to-high transition. The low-to-high propagation delay is tPDH on OUT+ and tPDH on OUT-, whereas the high-to-low propagation delay is tPDL on OUT+ and tPDL on OUT-. These high-to-low and low-to-high timing parameters will differ slightly due to mismatches between the two complementary outputs. As a result, this difference in propagation delay is considered to be a skew for a given combination of low-to-high transitions on OUT+ and high-to-low transitions on OUT-. www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated | 10 NON-INVERTING INPUT (mV) MAX40025A/MAX40025C/ MAX40026 280ps High-Speed Comparator, Ultra-Low Dispersion with LVDS Outputs VIN+ VIN- = VREF tPDH VOUT+ ΔtPDHO VOUTtPDL? Figure 2. Propagation Delay Propagation Delay Dispersion Dispersion, or variation of the propagation delay under different conditions, is affected by the amount of overdrive voltage applied to the comparator inputs. As can be seen in the Typical Operating Characteristics, the dispersion is typically under 25ps for 10mV to 1V, a wide range of input overdrive values. VOD = 100mV VOD = 10mV 0V ± VOS DISPERSION 0V Figure 3. Amplitude Overdrive Dispersion Dispersion is also affected by the input slew rate. As the slew rate of the input signal changes, the propagation delay also changes. The dispersion is typically under 15ps from 0.4V/μs to 1V/μs input slew rates. www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated | 11 MAX40025A/MAX40025C/ MAX40026 280ps High-Speed Comparator, Ultra-Low Dispersion with LVDS Outputs 0V ± VOS DISPERSION 0V Figure 4. Slew Rate Dispersion Hysteresis NON-INVERTING INPUT (mV) Adding a small amount hysteresis to a comparator in a noisy environment is useful when input signals are slow-moving and have small noise levels superimposed on them. However, hysteresis must be used carefully when signals are small because it can cause valid signals to be ignored. Figure 5 shows the input signal and output response for a comparator with hysteresis applied. VIN+ VTRIP+ VIN- = VREF VTRIP- OUT VOH VOL VTRIP- 0V VTRIP+ INPUT Figure 5. Hysteresis Transfer Function The MAX40025C is optimized for detecting very small, fast-changing signals and therefore has no internal hysteresis. The MAX40025A has fixed internal 2.5mV hysteresis and the MAX40026 has fixed internal 1.5mV hysteresis, which improves their usefulness for detecting larger differential input signals in the presence of noise. This helps to avoid the external components and potential stability degradation associated with external positive feedback paths. Input Stage Circuitry The MAX40025/MAX40026 include internal protection circuitry that prevents damage to the precision input stage from large differential input voltages. This protection circuitry consists of two groups of two front-to-back diodes between IN+ and IN-, as well as two 50Ω resistors (Figure 6). The diodes limit the differential voltage applied to the comparator’s internal circuitry to no more than 2VF, where VF is the diode’s forward-voltage drop (about 0.7V at +25°C). www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated | 12 MAX40025A/MAX40025C/ MAX40026 280ps High-Speed Comparator, Ultra-Low Dispersion with LVDS Outputs For a large differential input voltage (exceeding 2VF), this protection circuitry increases the input bias current at IN+ (source) and IN- (sink). INPUT CURRENT = (VIN + − VIN − ) − 2 × VF 2 × 50 Input currents with large differential input voltages should not be confused with input bias currents (IB). As long as the differential input voltage is less than 2VF , this input current is less than 2IB. The input circuitry allows the MAX40025/MAX40026’s input common-mode range to extend 100mV beyond the positive power-supply rail. The output remains in the correct logic state if one or both inputs are within the common-mode range. Taking either input outside the common-mode range causes the input to saturate and the propagation delay to increase. IN+ 50Ω TO INTERNAL CIRCUITRY IN50Ω Figure 6.

Multiple bypass capacitors help to reduce the effect of trace impedance and capacitor ESR. ● Choose bypass capacitors for minimum inductance and ESR. ● Use a 100Ω termination resistor for the LVDS output, connected directly between OUT+ and OUT-, if practical. If the destination LVDS inputs can't be located adjacent to the outputs, use a 100Ω microstrip between the output pins and the termination resistor, which should be close to the LVDS inputs of the FPGA or other destination component. This will avoid the creation of stub beyond the termination resistor, which will cause reflections. The added length of the differential trace has less degrading affects than added stub length. ● Ensure that there is no parasitic coupling between the inputs and the outputs. Such coupling serves as feedback, and can result in oscillation. ● Minimize any parasitic layout inductance. ● It is recommended to use higher performance substrate materials (for example, Rogers). ● A differential micro-strip is the recommended layout for MAX40025/MAX40026 with terminations done close to the inputs and outputs of the MAX40025 or MAX40026. Care must be taken to avoid unwanted stubs by removing ground below the traces that are not part of the 50Ω termination line leading into input pins. The parasitic capacitance created between traces and ground slow down and even distort the signals by creating reflections on the path. ● Below is an example from the MAX40025EVKIT#, where ground has been etched/removed underneath a stub as shown in the layer below top layer. MAX40025 EVKIT PCB TOP LAYER GND KEEP OUT POLYGON ON GND2, GND3 AND BOTTOM LAYER Figure 7. Layout Guidelines—Ground Keep-Out to Avoid Stubs. Input Slew Rate With slower slew rates, when the input voltage is near the threshold any parasitic feedback paths can cause oscillation. In addition, the comparator’s input noise will cause the output to undergo transitions.

To avoid noise-induced chattering, the input slew rate should be greater than 1V/μs. Typical Application Circuits Receiver Section of Differential Time-of-Flight Measurement Circuit: In Figure 8, the photodiode, shown at the far right, converts light incident upon it into current that drives the input of the MAX40658 Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA). The MAX40658 then converts photodiode current to voltage, amplifies it, and passes a replica of the incident light to input of the MAX40025 high-speed comparator. By default, the MAX40658 has -27mV differential output offset voltage when there is no input current. This offset can be adjusted using the MAX40658's offset pin. The MAX40025 produces differential output pulses whenever an incident light pulse has intensity sufficient to change the polarity of the comparator input signal. 3.3V VCC LVDS OUTPUT FPGA 100Ω VCC OUT+ MAX40025/ MAX40026 OUT- OUT+ 150Ω OUTLVDS INPUT MAX40658 TIA PHOTO DIODE GND OFFSET GND OUTPUT OFFSET CONTROL VBIAS Figure 8.
