9-887; Rev. 5; /5 High-Speed, Low-Power Voltage Comparators General Description The high-speed, low-power, single/ dual/quad voltage comparators feature differential analog inputs and TTL-logic outputs with active internal pullups. Fast propagation delay (8ns typ at 5mV overdrive) makes the ideal for fast A/D converters and sampling circuits, line receivers, V/F converters, and many other data-discrimination applications. All comparators can be powered from separate analog and digital power supplies or from a single combined supply voltage. The analog input common-mode range includes the negative rail, allowing ground sensing when powered from a single supply. The consume 8mW per comparator when powered from +5V. The are equipped with independent TTL-compatible latch inputs. The comparator output states are held when the latch inputs are driven low. The MAX9 provides the same performance as the MAX9/MAX9/MAX93 with the exception of the latches. For newer, pin-for-pin compatible parts with the same speed and only half the power dissipation, see the MAX9/MAX9/MAX93 data sheet.

Applications Information Circuit Layout Because of the large gain-bandwidth transfer function of the, special precautions must be taken to realize their full high-speed capability. A printed circuit board with a good, low-inductance ground plane is mandatory. All decoupling capacitors (the small nf ceramic type is a good choice) should be mounted as close as possible to the power-supply pins. Separate decoupling capacitors for analog V CC and for digital V DD are also recommended. Close attention should be paid to the bandwidth of the decoupling and terminating components. Short lead lengths on the inputs and outputs are essential to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback around the comparators. Solder the device directly to the printed circuit board instead of using a socket. Input Slew-Rate Requirements As with all high-speed comparators, the high gain-bandwidth product of the can create oscillation problems when the input traverses the linear region. For clean output switching without oscillation or steps in the output waveform, the input must meet minimum slew-rate requirements. Oscillation is largely a function of board layout and of coupled source impedance and stray input capacitance. Both poor layout and large-source impedance will cause the part to oscillate and increase the minimum slew-rate requirement. In some applications, it may be helpful to apply some positive feedback between the output and + input. This pushes the output through the transition region cleanly, but applies a hysteresis in threshold seen at the input terminals. TTL Output and Latch Inputs The comparator TTL-output stages are optimized for driving low-power Schottky TTL with a fan-out of four. When the latch is connected to a logic high level, the comparator is transparent and immediately responds to changes at the input terminals. When the latch is connected to a TTL low level, the comparator output latches in the same state as at the instant that the latch command is applied, and will not respond to subsequent changes at the input. No latch is provided on the MAX9. Power Supplies The can be powered from separate analog and digital supplies or from a single +5V supply. The analog supply can range from +5V to +V with V EE grounded for single-supply operation (Figures A and B) or from a split ±5V supply (Figure C). The V DD digital supply always requires +5V. In high-speed, mixed-signal applications where a common ground is shared, a noisy digital environment can adversely affect the analog input signal. When set up with separate supplies (Figure C), the isolate analog and digital signals by providing a separate A (V EE ) and D.
