# ACOMP01 - Fast Analog Comparator Module
22

3+
The ACOMP01 module is a high-speed dual comparator board with differential LVDS outputs. It is designed for fast signal discrimination in nanosecond-scale timing systems. Each comparator features coaxial MCX input connectors and differential output for integration into high-speed digital acquisition or timing logic circuits.

## Comparators Used
24+
25+
### TLV3604
26+
- Propagation delay: 800 ps
27+
- Toggle rate: up to 3 Gbps
28+
- Input common-mode range: extends 200 mV beyond rails
29+
- LVDS output with 350 mV typical differential swing
30+
- Supply voltage: 2.4 V to 5.5 V
31+
- Mounted as IC1【9†tlv3604.pdf】
32+
33+
### LMH7220
34+
- Propagation delay: 2.9 ns
35+
- Input voltage range extends 200 mV below ground
36+
- LVDS output designed for 100 Ω differential load
37+
- Supply voltage: 2.7 V to 12 V
38+
- Mounted as IC2【8†lmh7220.pdf】
39+
40+
## Connectors
41+
42+
### Power Supply (J1)
43+
44+
- Onboard filtering capacitors: 10 µF, 1 µF, and 100 nF
45+
- 5.6 V Zener diode for optional input voltage clamping and reverse voltage protection
46+
47+
The module uses (2.4 V to 5.5 V) for the two comparators. Ensure proper voltages are applied as per the comparator requirements.
48+
49+
### Inputs
50+
51+
- **J2, J3**: Inputs for TLV3604 (IN+, IN-)
52+
- **J4, J5**: Inputs for LMH7220 (IN+, IN-)
53+
54+
All inputs are via MCX connectors with ground-referenced shielding.
55+
56+
### Outputs
57+
58+
- **J6**: LVDS differential output from TLV3604 (TLV_OUT+, TLV_OUT-)
59+
- **J7**: LVDS differential output from LMH7220 (LMH_OUT+, LMH_OUT-)
60+
61+
> Each output is routed to a standard 3-pin header: OUT+, GND, OUT-
62+
63+
## Notes
64+
65+
DNF (Do Not Fit) resistors R1 and R2 are placeholders for optional output termination.
