MAX9972ACCS+TD

Specialty Logic Overview

The MAX9972ACCS+TD is a quad-channel, ultra-low-power ATE driver and comparator IC. It integrates three-level pin drivers, window comparators, passive loads, and Kelvin-switched PMU connections for each channel. The device operates within a -2.2V to +5.2V voltage range and supports data rates up to 300Mbps at 3VP-P. It features active termination modes, low-leakage control (20nA max), and a 3-wire serial interface. Packaged in an 80-pin TQFP with an exposed pad, it functions over the 0°C to +70°C temperature range.
