Product Overview

The LM360 is a Texas Instruments Signal_Chain high speed differential comparator. The device is described with complementary TTL outputs and Series 74 TTL compatible outputs rated for fan-out of 4, making the output behavior part of the specified comparator interface characteristics.

Electrical operation is centered on split supplies: positive supply voltage is specified from 4.5 V to 6.5 V with 5 V typical, and negative supply voltage from -4.5 V to -6.5 V with -5 V typical. The comparator has a ±5 V differential input voltage range, ±4 V minimum common-mode input voltage range at VS = ±6.5 V, 17 kΩ typical input resistance at 1 MHz, and 3 pF typical input capacitance at 1 MHz.

Timing data includes 13 ns typical response time for a 30 mVp-p 10 MHz sinusoidal input, 12 ns typical for a 2 Vp-p 10 MHz sinusoidal input, and 14 ns typical for a 100 mV step with 5 mV overdrive. Assembly and package facts include SOIC D0008A dimensions, PDIP P0008E availability, 260°C lead temperature for 10 seconds, and SOIC vapor-phase and infrared soldering limits.
