High Speed Comparator



Hey there,

I was wondering if it is possible to generate a square signal from a sine signal with 5V amplitude, 54 MHz and +/- 5V Offset?

Are there any suitable comparators? Or do i need a lower amplitude?

Thanks in regard.

  • Hello,

    I imagine the conversion should work, if you ensure the there is enough hysteresis to avoid chatter. I have not personally implemented one before though.

    Here are a couple some fast Comparators for your review:
