The AD790s combination of speed, precision, versatility number of features that make it exceptionally versatile and easy and low cost makes it suitable as a general purpose compara- to use. The AD790 may operate from either a single 5 V supply tor in analog signal processing and data acquisition systems. or a dual 15 V supply. In the single-supply mode, the AD790s 2. Built-in hysteresis and a low-glitch output stage minimize the inputs may be referred to ground, a feature not found in other chance of unwanted oscillations, making the AD790 easier to comparators. In the dual-supply mode it has the unique ability use than standard open-loop comparators. of handling a maximum differential voltage of 15 V across its in- 3. The hysteresis combined with a wide input voltage range put terminals, easing their interfacing to large amplitude and enables the AD790 to respond to both slow, low level (e.g., dynamic signals. 10 mV) signals and fast, large amplitude (e.g., 10 V) signals. This device is fabricated using Analog Devices Complementary 4. A wide variety of supply voltages is acceptable for operation Bipolar (CB) processwhich gives the AD790s combination of the AD790, ranging from single 5 V to dual +5 V/12 V, of fast response time and outstanding input voltage resolution 5 V, or +5 V/15 V supplies. (1 mV max). To preserve its speed and accuracy, the AD790 incorporates a low glitch output stage that does not exhibit 5. The AD790s power dissipation is the lowest of any compara- the large current spikes normally found in TTL or CMOS output tor in its speed range. stages. Its controlled switching reduces power supply disturbances 6. The AD790s output swing is symmetric between V LOGIC that can feed back to the input and cause undesired oscillations. and ground, thus providing a predictable output under a The AD790 also has a latching function which makes it suitable wide range of input and output conditions. for applications requiring synchronous operation. The AD790 is available in five performance grades. The AD790J and the AD790K are rated over the commercial tem- perature range of 0C to 70C. The AD790A and AD790B are rated over the industrial temperature range of 40C to +85C. The AD790S is rated over the military temperature range of 55C to +125C. E REV.
