DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1011 is a general purpose comparator with sig-
nificantly better input characteristics than the LM111.
Although pin compatible with the LM111, it offers four
times lower bias current, six times lower offset voltage
and five times higher voltage gain. Offset voltage drift,
a previously unspecified parameter, is guaranteed at
15μV/°C. Additionally, the supply current is lower by a factor
of two with no loss in speed. The LT1011 is several times
faster than the LM111 when subjected to large overdrive
conditions. It is also fully specified for DC parameters and
response time when operating on a single 5V supply. These
parametric improvements allow the LT1011 to be used in
high accuracy (≥12-bit) systems without trimming. In a
12-bit A/D application, for instance, using a 2mA DAC, the
offset error introduced by the LT1011 is less than 0.5LSB.
The LT1011 retains all the versatile features of the LM111,
including single 3V to ±18V supply operation, and a float-
ing transistor output with 50mA source/sink capability. It
can drive loads referenced to ground, negative supply or
positive supply, and is specified up to 50V between V
–
and
the collector output. A differential input voltage up to the
full supply voltage is allowed, even with ±18V supplies,
enabling the inputs to be clamped to the supplies with
simple diode clamps.

*Indicates parameters which are guaranteed for all supply voltages, including a single 5V supply. See Note 5.
Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Inputs may be clamped to supplies with diodes so that
maximum input voltage actually exceeds supply voltage by one diode
drop. See Input Protection in the Applications Information section.
Note 3:
T
JMAX
= 150°C.
Note 4:
Output is sinking 1.5mA with V
OUT
= 0V.
Note 5:
These specifications apply for all supply voltages from a single
5V to ±15V, the entire input voltage range, and for both high and low
output states. The high state is I
SINK
= 100μA, V
OUT
= (V
+
– 1V) and
the low state is I
SINK
= 8mA, V
OUT
= 0.8V. Therefore, this specification
defines a worst-case error band that includes effects due to common
mode signals, voltage gain and output load.
Note 6:
Drift is calculated by dividing the offset voltage difference
measured at min and max temperatures by the temperature difference.
Note 7:
Response time is measured with a 100mV step and 5mV
overdrive. The output load is a 500Ω resistor tied to 5V. Time
measurement is taken when the output crosses 1.4V.
Note 8:
Do not short the STROBE pin to ground. It should be current
driven at 3mA to 5mA for the shortest strobe time. Currents as low
as 500μA will strobe the LT1011A if speed is not important. External
leakage on the STROBE pin in excess of 0.2μA when the strobe is “off”
can cause offset voltage shifts.
Note 9:
See graph “Input Offset Voltage vs Common Mode Voltage.”
