Hi,

I am using an LM 311 comparator chip for comparing a dc signal(+input) with a 200 KHz triangle wave(- input)-p-p 6 V, starting from 0.

The output has a pullup resistor of 470 ohm connected to +5V and is one of the logic inputs of a CMOS AND gate CD4081BE.

There is no feedback provided in the comparator.

But still I get a delay of about 200ns..i.e after the triangle wave goes above the dc signal it takes about 200 ns for the output of the comparator to fall to 0 from +5.

Why is this hapenning?

Can anybody suggest something so that I can somehow get rid of this delay?
 

What makes you think that you can get away with 0 delay?

The datasheet says
Typ. Response Time TRES 200ns
