Key Featrues

Fast Propagation Delay (80ns): The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 comparators offer a rapid 80ns propagation delay with a 5mV overdrive, ensuring quick response times in high-speed applications such as threshold detection and line receivers. This feature enhances performance in time-critical systems.
Rail-to-Rail Input Voltage Range: With rail-to-rail input capability, these comparators can handle signals close to the supply rails, making them ideal for low-voltage and battery-powered systems. This expands their use cases in 3V/5V applications.
Low Supply Current (350µA per Comparator): The low power consumption of 350µA per comparator reduces energy usage, making these devices suitable for power-sensitive applications like portable and battery-operated systems.
Internal Hysteresis for Clean Switching: The built-in hysteresis ensures clean and stable switching by minimizing false triggering due to noise, improving reliability in noisy environments like sampling circuits and zero-crossing detectors.
CMOS/TTL-Compatible Outputs: The comparators feature outputs compatible with both CMOS and TTL logic levels, providing flexibility in interfacing with various digital systems and simplifying design integration.

Applications

Battery-Powered Threshold Detector: The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 are perfect for battery-powered systems requiring precise threshold detection. Their low power consumption (350µA per comparator) and rail-to-rail input capability make them ideal for portable devices, ensuring reliable operation even at low voltages down to 2.7V.
High-Speed Zero-Crossing Detector: With a fast 80ns propagation delay and rail-to-rail input range, these comparators excel in zero-crossing detection applications. They are well-suited for AC signal monitoring in power management systems, ensuring accurate and timely detection of signal transitions.
Low-Power Line Receiver: The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 are optimized for line receiver applications in 3V/5V systems. Their low offset voltage (1mV) and internal hysteresis ensure clean switching, making them ideal for communication systems where signal integrity is critical.
Precision Sampling Circuit Comparator: These comparators are ideal for sampling circuits in data acquisition systems. Their rail-to-rail input range and low input bias current (0.15µA) enable accurate signal comparison, while their high-speed operation ensures quick response times in time-critical applications.
