MAX912CPE

Overview

The MAX912CPE is a dual, high-speed, low-power precision TTL comparator housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It operates from a single +5V or dual ±5V supply with a typical propagation delay of 10ns and a maximum of 14ns at -40°C to +85°C. The device features differential inputs with a common-mode range extending below the negative rail, an input offset voltage of 0.8mV typ, and independent latch controls for each channel.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast response with minimal propagation delay
• Stable operation in the linear region without oscillation
• Low power consumption per comparator channel
• Independent latch control for each comparator

Applications

• Zero-Crossing Detectors
• Switching Regulators
• High-Speed Sampling Circuits
• Fast Pulse Width/Height Discriminators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPE' corresponds to the 0°C to +70°C temperature range and 16-pin Plastic DIP package. Confirm that the component is sourced from authorized distributors to ensure authenticity. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' suffix in related part numbers. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed comparison with low power dissipation is required. It is suitable for applications needing stable output during slow signal transitions without added hysteresis. Consider the dual-channel configuration if two comparators are needed in one package. Verify that the TTL output levels match the receiving logic requirements.

Part Context

The MAX912 is part of the MAX912/MAX913 family of ultra-fast, low-power precision TTL comparators. It serves as a dual-channel version of the MAX913 single comparator. The series is designed for applications requiring fast response times and low power consumption, such as V/F converters and switching regulators.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX913 is noted as an improved plug-in replacement for the LT1016, offering wider input voltage range and equivalent speed at lower power. No direct substitute for the dual MAX912 is explicitly listed in the provided documentation.
