Note : Inferred by CMRR. Either input can be driven to the absolute maximum limit without false output inversion, provided that the other input is within the input voltage range. Note : The input-referred trip points are the extremities of the differential input voltage required to make the comparator output change state. The difference between the upper and lower trip points is equal to the width of the input-referred hysteresis zone. (See Figure.) Note : Input offset voltage is defined as the mean of the trip points. Note : CMRR = (V OSL - V OSH ) /.V, where V OSL is the offset at V CM = -0.V and V OSH is the offset at V CM =.V. Note : PSRR = (V OS. - V OS.) /.V, where V OS. is the offset voltage at =.V, and V OS. is the offset voltage at =.V. Note : Propagation delay for these high-speed comparators is guaranteed by design characterization because it cannot be accurately measured using automatic test equipment. A statistically significant sample of devices is characterized with a 00mV step and 00mV overdrive over the full temperature range. Propagation delay can be guaranteed by this characterization, since DC tests ensure that all internal bias conditions are correct. For low overdrive conditions, V TRIP is added to the overdrive.

Detailed Description The MAX9 MAX9/ single-supply comparators feature internal hysteresis, ultra-high-speed operation, and low power consumption. Their outputs are guaranteed to pull within 0.V of either rail without external pullup or pulldown circuitry. Beyond-the-Rails input voltage range and low-voltage, single-supply operation make these devices ideal for portable equipment. These comparators all interface directly to CMOS logic. Timing Most high-speed comparators oscillate in the linear region because of noise or undesirable parasitic feedback. This can occur when the voltage on one input is close to or equal to the voltage on the other input. These devices have a small amount of internal hysteresis to counter parasitic effects and noise. The added hysteresis of the MAX9 MAX9/MAX99/ MAX999 creates two trip points: one for the rising input voltage and one for the falling input voltage (Figure ). The difference between the trip points is the hysteresis. When the comparator s input voltages are equal, the hysteresis effectively causes one comparator input voltage to move quickly past the other, thus taking the input out of the region where oscillation occurs. Standard comparators require hysteresis to be added with external resistors. The fixed internal hysteresis eliminates these resistors. The MAX9/MAX9 include internal latches that allow storage of comparison results. LE has a high input impedance. If LE is low, the latch is transparent (i.e., the comparator operates as though the latch is not present). The comparator s output state is stored when LE is pulled high. All timing constraints must be met when using the latch function (Figure ). Input Stage Circuitry The MAX9 MAX9/ include internal protection circuitry that prevents damage to the precision input stage from large differential input voltages. This protection circuitry consists of two groups of three front-to-back diodes between IN+ and IN-, as well as two 00Ω resistors (Figure ). The diodes limit the differential voltage applied to the comparator s internal circuitry to no more than V F, where V F is the diode s forward-voltage drop (about 0.V at + C).

MAX9/MAX9 Timing Diagram MAX9 MAX9 MAX99 MAX999 For a large differential input voltage (exceeding V F ), this protection circuitry increases the input bias current at IN+ (source) and IN- (sink). (IN+ IN ) V Input current = F 00 IN+ 00Ω TO INTERNAL CIRCUITRY Input currents with large differential input voltages should not be confused with input bias currents (I B ). As long as the differential input voltage is less than V F, this input current is less than I B. IN- 00Ω TO INTERNAL CIRCUITRY The input circuitry allows the MAX9 MAX9/MAX99/ MAX999 s input common-mode range to extend 00mV beyond both power-supply rails. The output remains in the correct logic state if one or both inputs are within the common-mode range. Taking either input outside the common-mode range causes the input to saturate and the propagation delay to increase. Figure. Input Stage Circuitry www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated 9
I SOURCE MAX9 MAX9 MAX99 MAX999, I SINK Figure. Output Stage Circuitry Figure. MAX9 PCB Layout Output Stage Circuitry The MAX9 MAX9/ contain a current-driven output stage, as shown in Figure. During an output transition, I SOURCE or I SINK is pushed or pulled to the output pin. The output source or sink current is high during the transition, creating a rapid slew rate. Once the output voltage reaches V OH or V OL, the source or sink current decreases to a small value, capable of maintaining the V OH or V OL in static condition. This decrease in current conserves power after an output transition has occurred. One consequence of a current-driven output stage is a linear dependence between the slew rate and the load capacitance. A heavy capacitive load slows down the voltage output transition. Shutdown Mode When SHDN is high, the MAX9/MAX9/MAX9/ MAX99 shut down. When shut down, the supply current drops to 0μA per comparator, and the outputs become high impedance. SHDN has a high input impedance. Connect SHDN to for normal operation. Exit shutdown with LE low; otherwise, the output is indeterminate. Applications Information Circuit Layout and Bypassing The MAX9 MAX9/ s high bandwidth requires a high-speed layout. Follow these layout guidelines: ) Use a PCB with a good, unbroken, low-inductance ground plane. ) Place a decoupling capacitor (a 0.μF ceramic surface-mount capacitor is a good choice) as close to as possible. ) On the inputs and outputs, keep lead lengths short to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback around the comparators. Keep inputs away from outputs. Keep impedance between the inputs low. ) Solder the device directly to the printed circuit board rather than using a socket. ) Refer to Figure for a recommended circuit layout. ) For slow-moving input signals, take care to prevent parasitic feedback. A small capacitor (000pF or less) placed between the inputs can help eliminate oscillations in the transition region. This capacitor causes negligible degradation to t PD when the source impedance is low. www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated 0
