Not Recommended for New Designs The MAX99 was manufactured for Maxim by an outside wafer foundry using a process that is no longer available. It is not recommended for new designs. A Maxim replacement or an industry second-source may be available. The data sheet remains available for existing users. The other parts on the following data sheet are not affected.

9-9; Rev ; / Dual/Quad/Single, High-Speed, Ultra-Low-Power, General Description The MAX9/MAX98/MAX99 are dual/quad/single, high-speed, ultra-low-power voltage comparators designed for use in systems powered from a single + supply; the MAX99 also accepts dual ± supplies. Their ns propagation delay (with m input overdrive) is achieved with a power consumption of only.mw per comparator. The wide input commonmode range extends from m below ground (below the negative supply rail for the MAX99) to within. of the positive supply rail. Because they are micropower, high-speed comparators that operate from a single + supply and include built-in hysteresis, these devices replace a variety of older comparators in a wide range of applications. MAX9/MAX98/MAX99 outputs are TTL-compatible, requiring no external pullup 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 MAX99 features complementary outputs and an output latch. A separate supply pin for extending the analog input range down to - is also provided. The dual MAX9 and single MAX99 are available in 8-pin DIP and SO packages, and the quad MAX98 is available in -pin DIP and SO packages. These comparators are ideal for single +-supply applications that require the combination of high speed, precision, and ultra-low power dissipation.

(and with - = -. for MAX99). Note 9: Due to difficulties in measuring propagation delay with m of overdrive in automatic test equipment, this parameter is guaranteed by design for the MAX9 and MAX98. Correlation tests show that the specification can be guaranteed if all other DC parameters are within the specified limits. OS must be added to the overdrive voltage for low values of overdrive. For the MAX99, propagation delay is typical only and there is no guaranteed maximum limit. Note : Differential Propagation Delay is specified as the difference between any two channels in the MAX9/MAX98 (both outputs making either a low-to-high or a high-to-low transition). Note : Propagation Delay Skew is specified as the difference between any single channel s output low-to-high transition () and high-to-low transition (), and also between the and transition on the MAX99. Note : Latch specifications apply to MAX99 only (see Figure ).

The comparator output is stored when LE is high. 8 Comparator Output Inverted Comparator Output Detailed Description Timing Noise or undesired parasitic AC feedback cause most high-speed comparators to oscillate in the linear region (i.e., when the voltage on one input is at or near the voltage on the other input). The MAX9/MAX98/ MAX99 eliminate this problem by incorporating internal hysteresis. When the two comparator input voltages are equal, 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 that hysteresis be added through the use of external resistors. The MAX9/MAX98/MAX99 s fixed internal hysteresis eliminates these resistors (and the equations required to determine appropriate values). Adding hysteresis to a comparator creates two trip points: one for the input voltage rising and one for the input voltage falling (Figure ). The difference between these two input-referred trip points is the hysteresis. Figure illustrates the case where IN- is fixed and IN+ is varied. If the inputs were reversed, the figure would look the same, except the output would be inverted. The MAX99 includes an internal latch, allowing the result of a comparison to be stored. If LE is low, the latch is transparent (i.e., the comparator operates as though the latch is not present). The state of the comparator output is stored when LE is high (Figure ). Note that the MAX99 can be operated with - connected to ground or to a negative supply voltage. The MAX99 s input range extends from (- -.) to (+ -.). 8
Dual/Quad/Single, High-Speed, Ultra-Low-Power, TRIP+ HYST TRIP- COMPARATOR IN+ TRIP+ + TRIP- OS = IN- = Applications Information Circuit Layout Because of the MAX9/MAX98/MAX99 s high gain bandwidth, special precautions must be taken to realize the full high-speed capability. A printed circuit board with a good, low-inductance ground plane is mandatory. Place the decoupling capacitor (a.µf ceramic capacitor is a good choice) as close to + as possible. Pay close attention to the decoupling capacitor s bandwidth, keeping leads short. Short lead lengths on the inputs and outputs are also essential to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback around the comparators. Solder the device directly to the printed circuit board instead of using a socket. Overdriving the Inputs The inputs to the MAX9/MAX98/MAX99 may be driven beyond the voltage limits given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, as long as the current flowing into the device is limited to ma. However, if the inputs are overdriven, the output may be inverted. The addition of an external diode prevents this inversion by limiting the input voltage to m to m below ground (Figure ). OH Figure.
