APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Other common problems include different measurement several devices connected to an unbypassed supply can results using various pieces of test equipment, inability “communicate” through the finite supply impedances, to make measurement connections to the circuit without causing erratic modes.

The power supply By far the most common error involves power supply the LT1016 sees at its terminals has high impedance at bypassing. Bypassing is necessary to maintain low sup- high frequency. This impedance forms a voltage divider ply impedance. DC resistance and inductance in supply with the LT1016, allowing the supply to move as internal wires and PC traces can quickly build up to unacceptable conditions in the comparator change. This causes local levels. This allows the supply line to move as internal feedback and oscillation occurs. Although the LT1016 current levels of the devices connected to it change. This responds to the input pulse, its output is a blur of 100MHz will almost always cause unruly operation. In addition, oscillation. Always use bypass capacitors.
