MAX913ESA-T

Overview

The MAX913ESA-T is a single, ultra-fast, 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. Key electrical characteristics include an input offset voltage of 0.8mV typ, a common-mode input range extending below the negative rail, and stability in the linear region without oscillation. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast propagation delay of 10ns for high-speed signal processing
• Low power consumption with 6mA supply current per comparator
• Stable operation in the linear region without minimum slew-rate requirement
• Input range extends below the negative supply rail

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm the 'E' grade ensures the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Ensure compatibility with 8-pin SOIC footprint requirements on the target PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast response times with minimal power dissipation. It serves as a direct replacement for the LT1016 with improved input voltage range. Consider the single-channel architecture versus the dual-channel MAX912 if space is constrained.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX912/MAX913 family of high-speed comparators. It shares core performance metrics with the dual-channel MAX912 but lacks independent latch controls. The series is designed for precision analog-to-digital conversion interfaces and timing circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute: LT1016.
