Single/Dual, Ultra-Fast, Low-Power,
Precision TTL Comparators
____________________________Features
The MAX913 single and MAX912 dual high-speed,
low-power comparators have differential inputs and
complementary TTL outputs. Fast propagation delay
(10ns typ), extremely low supply current, and a wide
common-mode input range that includes the negative
rail make the MAX912/MAX913 ideal for low-power,
high-speed, single +5V (or ±5V) applications such as
V/F converters or switching regulators.
♦ Ultra Fast (10ns)
The MAX912/MAX913 outputs remain stable through
the linear region. This feature eliminates output instability
common to high-speed comparators when driven with a
slow-moving input signal.
♦ Stable in the Linear Region
The MAX912/MAX913 can be powered from a single
+5V supply or a ±5V split supply. The MAX913 is an
improved plug-in replacement for the LT1016. It provides significantly wider input voltage range and equivalent speed at a fraction of the power. The MAX912 dual
comparator has equal performance to the MAX913 and
includes independent latch controls.

Note 1: Input Offset Voltage (VOS) is defined as the average of the two input offset voltages, measured by forcing first one output,
then the other to 1.4V. Input Offset Current (IOS) is defined the same way.
Note 2: Propagation Delay (tPD) and Differential Propagation Delay (∆tPD) cannot be measured in automatic handling equipment
with low input overdrive values. The MAX912/MAX913 are sample tested to 0.1% AQL with a 1V step and 500mV overdrive
at +25°C only. Correlation tests show that tPD and ∆tPD can be guaranteed with this test, if additional DC tests are performed to guarantee that all internal bias conditions are correct. For low overdrive conditions, VOS is added to the overdrive. Differential Propagation Delay is defined as: ∆tPD = tPD+ – tPD-.
Note 3: Input latch setup time (tSU) is the interval in which the input signal must be stable prior to asserting the latch signal.
The hold time (tH) is the interval after the latch is asserted in which the input signal must be stable. These parameters are
guaranteed by design.
Note 4: Latch Propagation Delay (tLPD) is the delay time for the output to respond when the latch-enable pin is deasserted.

Resolution
Input Amplifier
A comparator can be thought of as having two sections: an input amplifier and a logic interface. The
MAX912/MAX913’s input amplifier is fully differential,
with input offset voltage trimmed to below 2.0mV at
+25°C. Input common-mode range extends from
200mV below the negative supply rail to 1.5V below the
positive power supply. The total common-mode range
is 8.7V when operating from ±5VDC supplies.
The MAX912/MAX913’s amplifier has no built-in hysteresis. For highest accuracy, do not add hysteresis.
Figure 2 shows how hysteresis degrades resolution.
A comparator’s ability to resolve small signal differences—its resolution—is affected by various factors.
As with most amplifiers, the most significant factors are
the input offset voltage (VOS) and the common-mode
and power-supply rejection ratios (CMRR, PSRR). If
source impedance is high, input offset current can be
significant. If source impedance is unbalanced, the
input bias current can introduce another error.
For high-speed comparators, an additional factor in resolution is the comparator’s stability in its linear region. Many
high-speed comparators are useless in their linear region
because they oscillate. This makes the differential input
voltage region around 0V unusable, as does a high VOS.
Hysteresis does not cure the problem, but acts to keep
the input away from its linear range (Figure 2).
The MAX912/MAX913 do not oscillate in the linear region,
which greatly enhances the comparator’s resolution.
__________Applications Information
Power Supplies and Bypassing
The MAX912/MAX913 are tested with ±5V power supplies that provide an input common-mode range (VCM)
of 8.7V (-5.2V to +3.5V). Operation from a single +5V
supply provides a common-mode input range of 3.7V
(-0.2V to +3.5V). Connect V- to GND for single-supply
operation. The MAX912/MAX913 will operate from a
minimum single-supply voltage of +4.5V.
The V+ supply provides power to both the analog input
stage and digital output circuits, whereas the V- supply
only powers the analog section. Bypass V+ and V- to
ground with 0.1µF to 1.0µF ceramic capacitors in parallel
with 10µF or greater tantalum capacitors. Connect the
ceramic capacitors very close to the MAX912/MAX913’s

MAX912/MAX913
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX913 (single) and MAX912 (dual) high-speed
comparators have a unique design that prevents oscillation when the comparator is in its linear region. No
minimum input slew rate is required.
Many high-speed comparators oscillate in the linear
region, as shown in the Typical Operating
Characteristics’ industry-standard 686 response graph.
One way to overcome this oscillation is to sample the
output after it has passed through the unstable region.
Another practical solution is to add hysteresis. Either
solution results in a loss of resolution and bandwidth.
Because the MAX912/MAX913 do not need hysteresis,
they offer high resolution to all signals—including lowfrequency signals.
The MAX912/MAX913 provide a TTL-compatible latch
function that holds the comparator output state (Figure 1).
As long as Latch Enable (LE) is high or floating, the input
signal has no effect on the output state. With LE low, the
outputs are controlled by the input differential voltage and
the latch is transparent.

supply pins, keeping leads short to minimize lead
inductance. For particularly noisy applications, use ferrite beads on the power-supply lines.
Board Layout
As with all high-speed components, careful attention to
layout is essential for best performance.
1) Use a printed circuit board with an unbroken
ground plane.
2) Pay close attention to the bandwidth of bypass
components and keep leads short.
3) Avoid sockets; solder the comparator and other
components directly to the board to minimize
unwanted parasitic inductance and capacitance.
Input Slew Rate
The MAX912/MAX913 design eliminates the input slewrate requirement imposed on many standard comparators. As long as LE is high after the maximum propagation delay and the input is greater than the comparator’s total DC error, the output will be valid without oscillations.
Maximum Clock (LE) and Signal Rate
The maximum clock and signal rate is 70MHz, based
on the comparator’s rise and fall time with a 5mV overdrive at +25°C (Figure 1). With a 20mV overdrive, the
maximum propagation delay is 12ns and the clock and
signal rate is 85MHz.
