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 only 6mA per comparator at +5V. It offers an input common-mode range extending below the negative rail and includes independent latch controls for Comparator A and B.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast propagation delay with extremely low power consumption
• Stable operation in the linear region without minimum slew-rate requirement
• Independent latch control for each comparator channel

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and 'SE' denotes the narrow SOIC-16 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status as '+'. Check current availability through authorized distributors as this component may be subject to limited stock or end-of-life status.

Selection Notes

Select the MAX912CSE+ when dual-channel comparison with TTL-compatible outputs is required in space-constrained designs. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy parts like the LT1016, offering wider input voltage range and equivalent speed at lower power. Ensure the application does not require extended industrial temperature ranges, which would necessitate the 'E' suffix variant.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX912/MAX913 family of ultra-fast, low-power precision comparators. The MAX912 provides dual channels within a single 16-pin package, while the MAX913 offers a single channel in an 8-pin package. Both share identical electrical performance characteristics and are designed for high-speed, low-power applications.

Replacement Considerations

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