MAX9012EUA

Overview

The MAX9012EUA is a dual, high-speed precision comparator operating from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply. It features ultra-fast propagation delay of 5ns typical and low quiescent current consumption of 2.4mA typical. The device offers precision differential inputs with an input offset voltage of 0.7mV typical and a common-mode input range extending to 0.2V below ground. Outputs are TTL-compatible, and the unit is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture providing two independent high-speed comparators within a compact footprint
• Stable linear region operation eliminates output oscillation for slow-moving or low-overdrive signals without requiring hysteresis
• TTL-compatible outputs ensure direct interface compatibility with standard digital logic circuits
• Input voltage range extends below ground potential while maintaining no output phase reversal

Applications

• High-speed signal squaring
• Zero-crossing detectors
• High-speed line receivers
• Fast pulse-width/height discriminators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Ensure design-in requirements match the specified electrical characteristics for single-supply operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring dual comparators with minimal propagation delay and low power consumption. The wide common-mode input range supports signals near ground. Verify that the 8-pin µMAX package fits the available board space constraints.

Part Context

Part of the MAX9010–MAX9013 family of SC70, 5ns, low-power, single-supply precision TTL comparators manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. Designed for applications demanding high speed and precision in a small form factor.
