MAX9012EUA+

Overview

The MAX9012EUA+ is a dual-channel, high-speed analog comparator from the MAX9010–MAX9013 family. It operates on a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply with a typical quiescent current of 2.4mA per channel. The device features ultra-fast propagation delay (5ns typical), low input offset voltage (±0.7mV typical at +25°C), and TTL-compatible outputs. It supports an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture providing two independent precision comparators within a compact footprint.
• Ultra-fast switching performance with minimal propagation delay for high-speed signal processing.
• Stable operation in the linear region without requiring minimum input slew rates or external hysteresis.
• TTL-compatible output stages designed for direct interfacing with digital logic circuits.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with single-supply voltage requirements and check for any recent lifecycle status changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel comparison is required alongside strict timing constraints. The absence of a minimum slew-rate requirement makes it suitable for resolving small signals with slow transitions. Verify that the 8-pin µMAX package dimensions fit the available board space.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX901x series of precision TTL comparators manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. The series includes single and quad variants sharing similar electrical characteristics but differing in channel count and package options such as SC70, SOT23, SO, and µMAX.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX9013 serves as an improved plug-in replacement for industry-standard MAX913 and LT1016/LT1116 devices in single-supply applications, offering lower power consumption and higher speed capabilities compared to those legacy parts.
