MAX995ESD+

Comparators Overview

The MAX995ESD+ is a quad micropower comparator from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated, housed in a 14-pin SO package. It operates on a single supply of +2.5V to +5.5V or dual supplies of ±1.25V to ±2.75V. Each comparator draws 48µA quiescent current with a 120ns propagation delay. The device features rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, an input common-mode range extending 250mV beyond the rails, and internal hysteresis. It utilizes a push-pull output stage capable of sourcing and sinking up to 8mA.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Quad configuration with push-pull output stages for high-speed switching
• Rail-to-rail input and output operation within low-voltage ranges
• Internal hysteresis ensures clean output transitions for slow signals
• Unique output design minimizes supply-current surges during switching

Comparators Applications

• Zero-Crossing Detectors
• Window Comparators
• Level Translators
• Threshold Detectors/Discriminators
• Ground/Supply Sensing

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESD' corresponds to the 14-pin SO package and lead-free status as indicated by the '+' symbol. Confirm that the component meets the required operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Ensure compatibility with the intended voltage supply levels between 2.5V and 5.5V. Check for any specific handling requirements associated with the surface-mount technology.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this part when a quad comparator solution is required in a compact SO package. It is suitable for applications needing rail-to-rail I/O capabilities and low power consumption. Consider the push-pull output stage if driving loads up to 8mA without external pull-up resistors is necessary. Verify that the 120ns propagation delay meets the system timing requirements.

Comparators Part Context

The MAX995ESD+ belongs to the MAX987/MAX988/MAX991/MAX992/MAX995/MAX996 family of high-speed, micropower comparators. This series offers various configurations including single, dual, and quad packages with either push-pull or open-drain outputs. The MAX995 specifically provides four comparators with push-pull outputs in a 14-pin SO package.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

The MAX996ESD+ serves as a functional substitute within the same family but features an open-drain output stage instead of push-pull. Other members like the MAX991 offer a dual-channel configuration rather than quad.
