Elantec Introduces Four New High-speed Quad Comparators.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 29, 2000 The New 4ns and 8ns Comparator comparator Instrument for comparing something with a similar thing or with a standard measure, in particular to measure small displacements in mechanical devices. In astronomy, the blink comparator is used to examine photographic plates for signs of moving bodies. Families From Elantec are Ideal for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) Applications Elantec Semiconductor, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELNT), a leader in high-performance analog ICs, today introduced four new high-speed comparators. The EL5481C and EL5482C 8ns comparators, and the EL5485C and EL5486C 4ns comparators, are the first of two new comparator families from the Company. These quads will be joined by dual and single versions in the next few months. The EL5481C and EL5482C feature 8ns propagation delays and operate from 6mA of supply current, whereas the EL5485C and EL5486C feature 4ns propagation delays on 13mA of current. Both families feature an input voltage range of up to 12V and have common mode input ranges that go below the lower rail. The output sections have their own supplies and can be used to interface directly with 3V or 5V logic. The EL5481C and EL5485C also contain output latches for data sampling applications.

It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary products at Elantec says, "The large supply range, fast response, and level shifting capability of these comparators make them ideal for use in ATE applications. Pre-production samples have been well-received by our customers." Both speed grades are available in quad configuration in 16-Pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward.
