MAX962ESA+T

Comparators Overview

The MAX962ESA+T is a dual-channel, ultra-high-speed analog comparator from the MAX961–MAX964 family. It operates on a single +3V or +5V supply with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The device features a propagation delay of 4.5ns at 5mV overdrive and consumes 5mA per comparator. Its input common-mode range extends 100mV beyond the rails, and it includes 3.5mV of internal hysteresis for clean switching. Outputs can sink or source 4mA to within 0.52V of GND and VCC.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast operation with 4.5ns propagation delay
• Beyond-the-Rails input voltage range extending 100mV past power-supply rails
• Internal 3.5mV hysteresis eliminates external resistors
• TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs capable of sinking or sourcing 4mA

Comparators Applications

• Single 3V/5V systems
• Portable/battery-powered systems
• Threshold detectors/discriminators
• GPS receivers
• High-speed sampling circuits

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'T' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Confirm the package type matches the required 8-pin SO footprint. Ensure the component meets lead-free/RoHS compliance standards indicated by the '+' designation. Cross-reference the full part number against official distributor catalogs to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel high-speed comparison is required in low-voltage environments. It is suitable for applications needing Beyond-the-Rails inputs without external pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Consider alternatives if shutdown mode or latch-enable functionality is necessary, as these features are not available in the MAX962 variant.

Comparators Part Context

The MAX962ESA+T belongs to the MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 family of comparators designed for single-supply operation. While other members like the MAX961 offer complementary outputs and latches, the MAX962 provides two standard non-inverting channels in an 8-pin SO package. This family is optimized for portable equipment requiring fast response times and low power consumption.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include the MAX962EUA-T (µMAX package) and MAX962ESA (non-lead-free version). For quad-channel requirements, consider the MAX964ESE or MAX964EEE. Single-channel options include the MAX961ESA or MAX997ESA.
