ET9560-5
3 CHANNEL DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER-COMPARATOR
(For 5V Applications)
FEATURES
- Supply Voltage Range 4.5V to 5.5V
- Operation to 1MHz
- Designed for photodiode inputs
- Built-in current sink for driving an LED (saves board space)
- Outputs short circuit protected
- 25mA peak drive current may eliminate the need for line driver devices in many applications
- Comparator hysteresis 1.1 : 1 (same as the “LH” designation in other ETIC devices)
- Small package or die for COB use
This part is available in a 24 lead TSSOP package, standard or Pb-Free, or as die.

DESCRIPTION
These devices are specifically designed as receiver circuits for the photodiode signals available in optical encoders. Connect the anode of the photodiodes to the input pins, (labeled PD in the block diagram), with the cathode(s) connected to Vcc for reverse-bias operation. The input amplifiers have a dynamic range of nearly 1000:1, and allow contrast ratios of encoded signal to common mode signal of as low as 2:1. Differential inputs enhance noise rejection and performance over temperature. Hysteresis ratio of comparators is 1.1:1.
This version has the same performance as the former ET9560LH device, but is screened for operation with typical logic supplies running at 5V.
APPLICATIONS
- High Speed Optical Encoders
- Industrial Control
- Differential optical comparators
