MAX908

The MAX907/MAX908/MAX909 dual, quad, and single high-speed, ultra low-power voltage comparators are designed for use in systems powered from a single +5V supply; the MAX909 also accepts dual ±5V supplies. Their 40ns propagation delay (with 5mV input overdrive) is achieved with a power consumption of only 3.5mW per comparator. The wide input commonmode range extends from 200mV below ground (below the negative supply rail for the MAX909) to within 1.5V of the positive supply rail.

Because they are micropower, high-speed comparators that operate from a single +5V supply and include built-in hysteresis, these devices replace a variety of older comparators in a wide range of applications. MAX907/MAX908/MAX909 outputs are TTL compatible, requiring no external pull-up circuitry. All inputs and outputs can be continuously shorted to either supply rail without damage. These easy-to-use comparators incorporate internal hysteresis to ensure clean output switching even when the devices are driven by a slow-moving input signal.

The MAX909 features complementary outputs and an output latch. A separate supply pin for extending the analog input range down to -5V is also provided. The dual MAX907 and single MAX909 are available in 8-pin DIP and small-outline packages, and the quad MAX908 is available in 14-pin DIP and small-outline packages. These comparators are ideal for single +5V-supply applications that require the combination of high speed, precision, and ultra-low power dissipation.
