Key Featrues
Ultra-Fast Propagation Delay (5ns): The MAX9010/MAX9011/MAX9013 comparators feature an ultra-fast propagation delay of just 5ns, enabling high-speed signal processing. This makes them ideal for applications requiring rapid response times, such as high-speed line receivers, pulse discriminators, and triggering circuits, ensuring minimal latency and improved system performance.
Low Quiescent Current (900µA to 2.4mA): With low quiescent current consumption, these comparators are highly efficient for battery-powered and low-power applications. The MAX9010/MAX9011 consume as little as 900µA, while the MAX9012 consumes 2.4mA, making them suitable for energy-sensitive designs without compromising on speed or precision.
Single-Supply Operation (4.5V to 5.5V): Designed for single-supply operation, these comparators simplify power management in systems by eliminating the need for dual power supplies. This feature is particularly beneficial in portable and space-constrained applications, reducing design complexity and cost.
Wide Input Range (Includes Ground): The comparators support a wide common-mode input range that extends below ground, allowing them to handle signals with negative excursions. This flexibility enhances their usability in zero-crossing detectors, switching regulators, and other applications where input signals may vary widely.
No Output Phase Reversal for Overdriven Inputs: These comparators maintain stable operation even when inputs are overdriven, preventing output phase reversal. This ensures reliable performance in harsh conditions, such as high-speed sampling circuits or signal squaring, where input signals may exceed normal operating ranges.
