LM319-N: Slew Rate

Part Number: LM319-N
Dear Technical Support Team,
Could you check if LM319 has a slew rate that works with a 10MHz input?
The input voltage is about -1 to 5.0V and output connects to FPGA with pullup.

  • Hi TTD,

    have you had a look at the response time figures in the datasheet of LM319-N? From these I would say that the LM319-N cannot safely handle 10MHz.

  • Thanks Kai.

    TTD,

    LM319 does not have the speed capability to handle a 10 MHz input. Sorry we do not currently have a device that have a similar output structure as LM319 with better speed. We have reached out to your FAE offline regarding a new development, however.

  • Hi Kai and Chi,

    Thank you for your reply. 

    In fact, how is the speed capability with OC? Response times of rising and falling edge input are max 80ns. it seems yo be under 6.25MHz(totally 160ns)from simple math. I guess that it would be under 5MHz.

    Chi, I got new information from FAE. Thank you for your support.

    Best Regards

  • Hi TTD,

    Thanks for the follow up. Max toggle frequency is 1/(tpdlh + trise + tpdhl + tfall) so yes under 4-5 MHz is a good estimate.

  • Hi TTD,

    if your pull-up is high ohmic, another time constant being formed by parasitic capacitances (input capacitance of FPGA, output capacitance of LM319-N and board stray capacitance) comes into play furtherly decreasing the speed. With a 10k and 10pF parasitic capacitance this time constant would be 10k x 10pF = 100ns. That's the reason why the pull-up resistor should be chosen rather small and why the timing specs of LM319-N are given in the datasheet for a 500R pull-up.

    Furtherly decreasing the pull-up resistance, on the other hand, can again decrease the speed because the output stage has to switch a much higher current then - and, of course, would unwantedly increase the supply current.

  • Hi,

    How is the response time to be satisfied  with 10MHz?

    tpdlh + trise + tpdhl + tfall < 100ns is required for 10MHz. 

    I guess that it should be 30~40ns(plus trise/tfall and pullup).

    Best Regards,

    ttd

  • Hi TTD, 

    Yes around 30 ns would be a fair estimate but that is also dependent on the trise/tfall and the size of your pullup as you and kai mentioned. Though I would refrain from using a device at its max toggle frequency and choose a device with a tpd << 30 ns to be safe.
