  A Seven-Nanosecond Comparator for Single Supply Operation &mdash AN72
  PDF, 882 Kb, File published: May 1, 1998
  AN72 is an extensive discussion of the causes and cures of problems in very high speed comparator circuits. A separate applications section uses the 7ns LT1394 in V-to-F converters, crystal oscillators, clock skew generators, triggers, sampling configurations and a nanosecond pulse stretcher. Appendices cover related topics.

  Application Note 72

  A Seven-Nanosecond Comparator
  for Single Supply Operation
  Guidance for Putting Civilized Speed to Work
  Jim Williams INTRODUCTION
  In 1985 Linear Technology Corporation introduced the
  LT В®1016 Comparator. This device was the first readily
  usable, high speed TTL comparator. Previous ICs were
  either too slow or unstable, preventing widespread
  acceptance. The LT1016 was, and is, a highly successful
  product.
  Recent technology trends have emphasized low power,
  single supply operation. The LT1016, although capable of
  such operation, does not include ground in its input range.
  As such, it must be biased into its operating common
  mode range for practical single supply use. A new device,
  the LT1394, maintains the speed and application civility of
  its predecessor while including ground in its input operating range. Additionally, the new comparator is faster and
  pulls significantly lower operating current than the LT1016.
  This publication borrows shamelessly from earlier LTC
  efforts, while introducing new material.1 It approximates,
  affixes, appends, abridges, amends, abbreviates, abrogates, ameliorates and augments the previous work.2 …

  Operational Amplifier Selection Guide for
  Optimum Noise Performance – Design Note 140
  Frank Cox
  Eight years ago, George Erdi wrote a very useful Design
  Note (DN6) that presented information to aid in the
  selection of op amps for optimum noise performance,
  in both graphical and tabular form. Design Note 140 is
  an update of DN6. It covers new low noise op amps as
  well as some high speed op amps. Although a great deal
  has changed in eight years, especially in electronics,
  noise is still a critical issue in op amp circuit design
  and the LTВ®1028 is still the lowest noise op amp for
  low source impedance applications.
  The amount of noise an op amp circuit will produce
  is determined by the device used, the total resistance
  in the circuit, the bandwidth of the measurement, the
  temperature of the circuit and the gain of the circuit. A
  convenient п¬Ѓgure of merit for the noise performance
  of an op amp is the spectral density or spot noise. This
  is obtained by normalizing the measurement to a unit
  of bandwidth. Here the unit is 1Hz and the noise is reported as “nV/√Hz.” The noise in a particular application
  bandwidth can be calculated by multiplying the spot
  noise by the square root of the application bandwidth. …
