Analog Devices makes some nice PECL comparators, but the data sheets are old and iffy, and there don't seem to be any Spice models. It was raining and snowing and I couldn't go skiing, so I did a behavioral model. I plan to use one of these to make a pretty good 500 MHz oscillator, so I wanted to get it mostly right. Jim's TANH thing is a nice way to make a saturating stage. The open-emitter outputs could be added with a couple of diodes, but I don't need that just now.
(I did fill out an ADI form, noting that the ADCMP561 data sheet is rev 0, from 2003, and has obvious errors and omissions. They responded by inviting me to fix it, presumably for free.)
