Hi all,
I have a circuit where a LT1719 comparator is driven by a secondary of an RF transformer. The central tap of the transformer is biased to +2.5V. The comparator is powered from a single +5V supply. The purpose of the circuit is to square up the input sine wave (at about 50 MHz). Is there anything wrong with this approach?
The circuit used to work fine but with the recent batch of the parts I observe the output slew rate being much below the comparator spec especially when even slightly heated. The shape of the output pulse is also distorted, there is sort of a step on the rising edge....
Thanks, /Mikhail
