Working Principle of the LT6703CDC-2

The LT6703CDC-2 is a voltage comparator in which the input signals are converted into digital codes when comparison is made. It works on the principle of comparing two voltages at the inputs and producing true or false output based on the result. The output is affected by the accuracy of the comparator, the accuracy of the input voltages, and the noise level at the inputs and outputs.

The LT6703CDC-2 uses a unique compensation free technique which provides exceptional accuracy and speed. The unique ‘Howling Canceller’ circuit prevents signal corruption by providing automatic signal cancellation when loud noise is detected. This ensures the accuracy and response time of the component is maintained even in areas with very noisy ambient conditions.

The LT6703CDC-2 also features a patented ‘Hybrid Current Balancing’ circuit which provides enhanced dynamic gain and accuracy. This circuit provides excellent performance under small input voltage changes, large signal swings, and even during large supply voltage changes. The component is also internally protected against ESD and EMI, providing robust protection against external interference.

Applications of the LT6703CDC-2

The LT6703CDC-2 is designed to provide high performance in critical linear-comparator applications. It offers excellent accuracy and speed, suitable for use both in receivers and in digital systems.
