High-speed comparators suit ToF applications

These high-speed comparators with a wide power supply range, rail-to-rail inputs, and a very high toggle frequency of 1.5 GHz.

Along with an operating voltage range of 2.4V to 5.5V, all of these features come in industry-standard small packages, making this device an excellent choice for LIDAR, differential line receiver applications, and test and measurement systems.

The TLV3604/TLV3605 both have very strong input overdrive performance of 450ps and narrow pulse width capabilities of just 600ns.

This combination of low variation in propagation delay due to input overdrive and its ability to detect narrow pulses make these devices an excellent choice for Time-of-Flight (ToF) applications such as factory automation and drone vision.

Applications for the TLV3604 and TLV360 include distance sensing in LIDAR, Time-of-Flight sensors, high-speed trigger function in oscilloscopes and logic analysers, high-speed differential line receivers, and drone vision.
