Maxim MAX941CPA High-speed, low-power, 3v/5v, rail-to-rail, single-supply comparator Datasheet

19-0229; Rev 9; 3/09
High-Speed, Low-Power, 3V/5V, Rail-to-Rail,
Single-Supply Comparators
____________________________Features
The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 are single/dual/quad
high-speed comparators optimized for systems powered from a 3V or 5V supply. These devices combine
high speed, low power, and rail-to-rail inputs.
Propagation delay is 80ns, while supply current is only
350µA per comparator.
The input common-mode range of the MAX941/
MAX942/MAX944 extends beyond both power-supply
rails. The outputs pull to within 0.4V of either supply rail
without external pullup circuitry, making these devices
ideal for interface with both CMOS and TTL logic. All
input and output pins can tolerate a continuous shortcircuit fault condition to either rail.
♦ Available in µMAX Package
for Automotive Applications
Internal hysteresis ensures clean output switching,
even with slow-moving input signals. The MAX941 features latch enable and device shutdown.
♦ CMOS/TTL-Compatible Outputs
The single MAX941 and dual MAX942 are offered in a
tiny µMAX® package. Both the single and dual MAX942
are available in 8-pin DIP and SO packages. The quad
MAX944 comes in 14-pin DIP and narrow SO packages.
♦ Shutdown Function (MAX941 Only)
♦ Optimized for 3V and 5V Applications
(Operation Down to 2.7V)
♦ Fast, 80ns Propagation Delay (5mV Overdrive)
♦ Rail-to-Rail Input Voltage Range
♦ Low 350µA Supply Current per Comparator
♦ Low, 1mV Offset Voltage
♦ Internal Hysteresis for Clean Switching
♦ Outputs Swing 200mV of Power Rails
♦ Output Latch (MAX941 Only)

Inferred from the CMRR test. Note also that either or both inputs can be driven to the absolute maximum limit (0.3V
beyond either supply rail) without damage or false output inversion.
The input-referred trip points are the extremities of the differential input voltage required to make the comparator output
change state. The difference between the upper and lower trip points is equal to the width of the input-referred hysteresis
zone (see Figure 1).
VOS is defined as the center of the input-referred hysteresis zone (see Figure 1).
The polarity of IB reverses direction as VCM approaches either supply rail. See Typical Operating Characteristics for more
detail.
Specified over the full common-mode range (VCMR).
Applies to the MAX941 only when in shutdown mode. Specification is for current flowing into or out of the output pin for
VOUT driven to any voltage from V+ to GND.
Typical power dissipation specified with V+ = 3V; maximum with V+ = 5.5V.
Parameter is guaranteed by design and specified with VOD = 5mV and CLOAD = 15pF in parallel with 400µA of sink or
source current. VOS is added to the overdrive voltage for low values of overdrive (see Figure 2).
Specified between any two channels in the MAX942/MAX944.
Specified as the difference between tPD+ and tPD- for any one comparator.

The MAX941_UA and MAX942_UA are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Specifications over temperature are
guaranteed by design.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 single-supply comparators feature internal hysteresis, high speed, and low
power. Their outputs are guaranteed to pull within 0.4V
of either supply rail without external pullup or pulldown
circuitry. Rail-to-rail input voltage range and low-voltage single-supply operation make these devices ideal
for portable equipment. The MAX941/MAX942/
MAX944 interface directly to CMOS and TTL logic.
Timing
Most high-speed comparators oscillate in the linear
region because of noise or undesired parasitic feedback. This tends to occur when the voltage on one
input is at or equal to the voltage on the other input. To
counter the parasitic effects and noise, the MAX941/
MAX942/MAX944 have internal hysteresis.
The hysteresis in a comparator creates two trip points:
one for the rising input voltage and one for the falling
input voltage (Figure 1). The difference between the trip
points is the hysteresis. When the comparator’s input
voltages are equal, the hysteresis effectively causes
one comparator input voltage to move quickly past the
other, thus taking the input out of the region where
Shutdown Mode (MAX941 Only)
–———–
The MAX941 shuts down when SHDN is low. When shut
down, the supply current drops to less than 60µA, and
the three-state output becomes high impedance. The
–———–
S H D N pin has a high input impedance. Connect
–———–
SHDN to V+ for normal operation. Exit shutdown with
————–
LATCH high; otherwise, the output will be indeterminate.
Input Stage Circuitry
The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 include internal protection circuitry that prevents damage to the precision
input stage from large differential input voltages. This
protection circuitry consists of two back-to-back diodes
between IN+ and IN- as well as two 4.1kΩ resistors
(Figure 3). The diodes limit the differential voltage
applied to the internal circuitry of the comparators to be
no more than 2VF, where VF is the forward voltage drop
of the diode (about 0.7V at +25°C).
For a large differential input voltage (exceeding 2VF),
this protection circuitry increases the input bias current
at IN+ (source) and IN- (sink).
(IN+ - IN-) - 2VF
Input Current =
2 x 4.1kΩ
Input current with large differential input voltages
should not be confused with input bias current (IB). As
long as the differential input voltage is less than 2VF,
this input current is equal to IB. The protection circuitry
also allows for the input common-mode range of the
MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 to extend beyond both
power-supply rails. The output is in the correct logic
state if one or both inputs are within the common-mode
range.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

MAX941/MAX942/MAX944
VTRIP+
oscillation occurs. Standard comparators require hysteresis to be added with external resistors. The
MAX941/MAX942/MAX944’s fixed internal hysteresis
eliminates these resistors and the equations needed to
determine appropriate values.
Figure 1 illustrates the case where IN- is fixed and IN+
is varied. If the inputs were reversed, the figure would
look the same, except the output would be inverted.
The MAX941 includes an internal latch that allows storage of comparison results. The L—A—T—C—H– pin has a high
input impedance. If L—A—T—C—H– is high, the latch is transparent (i.e., the comparator operates as though the latch is
not present). The comparator's output state is stored
when L—A—T—C—H– is pulled low. All timing constraints must
be met when using the latch function (Figure 2).

Output Stage Circuitry
The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 contain a current-driven
output stage as shown in Figure 4. During an output
transition, ISOURCE or ISINK is pushed or pulled to the
output pin. The output source or sink current is high
during the transition, creating a rapid slew rate. Once
the output voltage reaches VOH or VOL, the source or
sink current decreases to a small value, capable of
maintaining the VOH or VOL static condition. This significant decrease in current conserves power after an output transition has occurred.
One consequence of a current-driven output stage is a
linear dependence between the slew rate and the load
capacitance. A heavy capacitive load will slow down a
voltage output transition. This can be useful in noisesensitive applications where fast edges may cause
interference.

__________Applications Information
Circuit Layout and Bypassing
The high gain bandwidth of the MAX941/MAX942/
MAX944 requires design precautions to realize the
comparators’ full high-speed capability. The recommended precautions are:
1) Use a printed circuit board with a good, unbroken, low-inductance ground plane.
2) Place a decoupling capacitor (a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor is a good choice) as close to V+ as
possible.
3) Pay close attention to the decoupling capacitor’s
bandwidth, keeping leads short.
4) On the inputs and outputs, keep lead lengths
short to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback
around the comparators.
5) Solder the device directly to the printed circuit
board instead of using a socket.
