MAX912EPE+

Overview

The MAX912EPE+ is a dual, high-speed, low-power precision comparator featuring differential inputs and complementary TTL outputs. It operates from a single +5V or ±5V supply with a typical propagation delay of 10ns. The device includes independent latch controls for each channel and maintains stability through the linear region without requiring hysteresis. Input offset voltage is typically 0.8mV, and it supports an input common-mode range extending below the negative rail.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast response with 10ns typical propagation delay
• Stable operation in the linear region without oscillation
• Independent latch control for each comparator channel
• Low power consumption with no minimum input slew-rate requirement

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EPE corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C temperature range and 16-pin Plastic DIP package as listed in the ordering information. Confirm that the component is sourced from authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and compliance with RoHS standards indicated by the '+' suffix.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel comparison with precise timing is required. It serves as a direct replacement for the LT1016 with improved input voltage range and lower power consumption. Ensure the application benefits from the absence of minimum slew-rate requirements and the ability to resolve signals in the linear region.

Part Context

Part of the MAX912/MAX913 family of ultra-fast, low-power precision TTL comparators manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. The MAX912 provides dual channels with independent latch functionality, while the MAX913 offers a single channel configuration within the same performance class.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX913 is documented as an improved plug-in replacement for the LT1016. For dual-channel applications, verify if the MAX912 meets the specific pinout and performance requirements previously satisfied by legacy comparator models.
