MAX9692EUB+T

Comparators Overview

The MAX9692EUB+T is a dual, ultra-fast ECL-output comparator with latch-enable functionality. It operates on +5V and -5.2V supplies within a -40°C to +85°C temperature range. The device features differential inputs and complementary outputs capable of driving 50Ω terminated transmission lines. Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 1.2ns, propagation delay skew of 100ps, and dispersion of 150ps. Latch setup time and pulse width are both 0.5ns. It is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast operation enables signal processing at frequencies exceeding 600MHz.
• Latch-enable function allows the comparator to operate in a sample-hold mode.
• Differential inputs and complementary outputs are fully compatible with ECL-logic levels.
• Maintains excellent DC matching characteristics typically found only in slower comparators.

Comparators Applications

• High-Speed Line Receivers
• Peak Detectors
• Threshold Detectors
• High-Speed Triggers

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and lead-free status. Ensure power supply requirements (+5V, -5.2V) and termination resistances match the design specifications. Confirm that the 10-pin µMAX footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints for high-speed signal integrity.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-fast propagation delays and precise DC matching are required for ECL logic applications. The integrated latch-enable feature makes it suitable for sample-hold circuits. Consider the 10-pin µMAX package for space-constrained designs requiring surface-mount technology.

Comparators Part Context

The MAX9692EUB+T belongs to the MAX9691/MAX9692/MAX9693 family of single/dual, ultra-fast, ECL-output comparators. Unlike the MAX9691 (single channel, no latch), the MAX9692 provides two channels with latch-enable capability. It shares core performance characteristics with the MAX9693 but differs in channel count and package options.

Comparators FAQ

How does the latch-enable function affect the output?

When LE is driven ECL low, the outputs are forced to an unambiguous ECL-logic state dependent on the input conditions at the time of the latch input transition.

What are the power supply requirements?

The device requires +5V and -5.2V power supplies.
