MAX912CSE

Overview

The MAX912CSE is a dual high-speed, low-power precision TTL comparator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features differential inputs and complementary TTL outputs with a typical propagation delay of 10ns. The device operates from a single +5V or dual ±5V supply, drawing 6mA per comparator at +5V. It offers a wide common-mode input range extending below the negative rail, low offset voltage (0.8mV typ), and stability in the linear region without requiring hysteresis. The component is housed in a 16-pin Narrow SO package and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast propagation delay for high-speed signal processing
• Stable operation in the linear region without minimum slew-rate requirement
• Low power consumption with extremely low supply current
• Wide common-mode input range including the negative supply rail

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CSE' corresponds to the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and Narrow SOIC-16 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as datasheets may vary by revision. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring fast response times with low power dissipation. It serves as a direct replacement for the LT1016 with improved input voltage range. Ensure the design accommodates the 16-pin Narrow SO package dimensions and thermal requirements for the specified temperature range.

Part Context

The MAX912 is part of the MAX912/MAX913 family of ultra-fast, low-power precision TTL comparators. While the MAX913 is a single-channel version, the MAX912 provides dual channels with independent latch controls. This family is designed for high-speed, low-power applications where stability in the linear region is critical.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX913 is noted as an improved plug-in replacement for the LT1016. For dual-channel needs, verify if the MAX912ESE is required for extended temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C). No other direct substitutes are explicitly confirmed in the provided documentation.
