Key Featrues

Ultra-Fast Propagation Delay (4.5ns): The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 comparators offer an ultra-fast propagation delay of 4.5ns with a 5mV overdrive. This feature significantly enhances performance in high-speed applications such as GPS receivers and high-speed sampling circuits, ensuring rapid and accurate signal processing.
Beyond-the-Rails Input Voltage Range: The input common-mode range extends 100mV beyond the supply rails, allowing the comparators to handle signals that exceed the power supply limits. This flexibility makes them ideal for portable battery-powered systems and other applications where input signals may vary widely.
Low Supply Current (5mA): With a low supply current of 5mA per comparator (MAX997/MAX999), these devices are highly efficient, making them suitable for power-sensitive applications. This feature is particularly beneficial in portable and battery-operated systems, where minimizing power consumption is crucial.
Internal Hysteresis (3.5mV): The built-in 3.5mV hysteresis ensures clean and stable switching, reducing the likelihood of output oscillations near the threshold voltage. This feature enhances reliability in threshold detectors, discriminators, and zero-crossing detectors, providing consistent performance in noisy environments.
TTL/CMOS-Compatible Outputs: The comparators feature TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs, allowing seamless integration with both TTL and CMOS logic circuits. This compatibility broadens their use cases, making them versatile components in various digital and mixed-signal systems.

Applications

High-Speed Signal Threshold Detection: The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 comparators are ideal for high-speed threshold detection in applications such as communication systems and signal processing. Their ultra-fast 4.5ns propagation delay and Beyond-the-Rails™ input range ensure reliable detection of signals even in noisy environments, making them suitable for precision timing and signal discrimination tasks.
Portable Battery-Powered Systems: These comparators are optimized for low-power operation, making them perfect for portable battery-powered systems like handheld devices and IoT sensors. With a low 5mA supply current and compatibility with single +3V or +5V supplies, they provide efficient performance while extending battery life in energy-sensitive applications.
Zero-Crossing Detection in Power Electronics: The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 are well-suited for zero-crossing detection in power electronics, such as AC motor control and power inverters. Their 3.5mV internal hysteresis ensures clean switching and accurate detection of zero-crossing points, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of power management systems.
Line Receiver for Data Communication: These comparators are ideal for use as line receivers in high-speed data communication systems. Their TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs and ultra-fast response time enable reliable data transmission and reception, even in environments with significant signal noise or interference, making them suitable for industrial and automotive communication networks.
