6.3 Feature Description

The TLV3901 comparator features a typical propagation delay of 125ps and CML outputs. The minimum pulse width detection capability is 60ps and the typical toggle frequency is 10GHz (20Gbps). The TLV3901 has two separate power rails for the input and output blocks. This allows the input to be referenced from either single or split supplies (VCCI and VEE), while the output is referenced from VCCO and VEE.
