MAX516BCWG+T

Overview

The MAX516BCWG+T is a quad general-purpose analog comparator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 16.5 V and consumes 10 mA of operating current. The device features CMOS or TTL outputs and exhibits an input bias current of 400 nA. It provides a response time of 800 ns with a power dissipation rating of 650 mW. Designed for surface mount installation, it is housed in a 24-pin SOIC package and functions reliably across temperatures from 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent comparators into a single compact package for space-constrained designs.
• Supports both CMOS and TTL output logic levels for broad digital interface compatibility.
• Operates on a wide single-supply voltage range suitable for various industrial signal conditions.

Applications

• General purpose signal comparison circuits
• Voltage monitoring systems
• Threshold detection applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to potential counterfeiting risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official manufacturer documentation before integration. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements to prevent package damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple independent comparisons are required without consuming excessive board area. Consider the 800 ns propagation delay for timing-sensitive applications. Verify that the 400 nA input bias current meets the source impedance requirements of the specific circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX516B series of analog comparators. It represents a multi-channel solution designed to replace discrete comparator arrangements. The SOIC-24 packaging allows for standard surface mount assembly techniques commonly used in consumer and industrial electronics manufacturing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other quad comparator ICs from the same family such as the MAX516ACWG+T. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution.
