Single/Dual/Quad High-Speed, Ultra Low-Power,
Single-Supply TTL Comparators
Because they are micropower, high-speed comparators that operate from a single +5V supply and include
built-in hysteresis, these devices replace a variety of
older comparators in a wide range of applications.
MAX907/MAX908/MAX909 outputs are TTL compatible, requiring no external pull-up circuitry. All inputs
and outputs can be continuously shorted to either supply rail without damage. These easy-to-use comparators incorporate internal hysteresis to ensure clean output switching even when the devices are driven by a
slow-moving input signal.
The MAX909 features complementary outputs and an
output latch. A separate supply pin for extending the
analog input range down to -5V is also provided.
The dual MAX907 and single MAX909 are available in
8-pin DIP and small-outline packages, and the quad
MAX908 is available in 14-pin DIP and small-outline
packages. These comparators are ideal for single
+5V-supply applications that require the combination
of high speed, precision, and ultra-low power
dissipation.

MAX907/MAX908/MAX909
_______________General Description
The MAX907/MAX908/MAX909 dual, quad, and single
high-speed, ultra low-power voltage comparators are
designed for use in systems powered from a single
+5V supply; the MAX909 also accepts dual ±5V supplies. Their 40ns propagation delay (with 5mV input
overdrive) is achieved with a power consumption of
only 3.5mW per comparator. The wide input commonmode range extends from 200mV below ground (below
the negative supply rail for the MAX909) to within 1.5V
of the positive supply rail.

Trip Point is defined as the input voltage required to make the comparator output change state. The difference
between upper (VTRIP+) and lower (VTRIP-) trip points is equal to the width of the input-referred hysteresis zone (VHYST).
Specified for an input common-mode voltage (VCM) of 0V. See Figure 1.
Note 2: Input Offset Voltage is defined as the center of the input-referred hysteresis zone. Specified for VCM = 0V. See Figure 1.
Note 3: Inferred from the CMRR test. Note that a correct logic result is obtained at the output, provided that at least one input is
within the VCMR limits. Note also that either or both inputs can be driven to the upper or lower absolute maximum limit without damage to the part.
Note 4: Tested with V+ = 5.5V (and V- = 0V for MAX909). MAX909 also tested over the full analog input range (i.e., with
V- = -5.5V).
Note 5: Tested over the full input voltage range (VCMR).
Note 6: Specified over the full tolerance of operating supply voltage: MAX907/MAX908 tested with 4.5V < V+ < 5.5V. MAX909
tested with 4.5V < V+ < 5.5V and with -5.5V < V- < 0V.
Note 7: Positive Supply Current specified with the worst-case condition of all outputs at logic low (MAX907/MAX908), and
with V+ = 5.5V.
Note 8: Typical power specified with V+ = 5V; maximum with V+ = 5.5V (and with V- = -5.5V for MAX909).
Note 9: Due to difficulties in measuring propagation delay with 5mV of overdrive in automatic test equipment, the
MAX907/MAX908/MAX909 are sample tested to 0.1% AQL with 100mV input overdrive. Correlation tests show that the
specification can be guaranteed if all other DC parameters are within the specified limits. VOS must be added to the overdrive voltage for low values of overdrive.
Note 10: Differential Propagation Delay is specified as the difference between any two channels in the MAX907/MAX908 (both outputs making either a low-to-high or a high-to-low transition).
Note 11: Propagation Delay Skew is specified as the difference between any single channel’s output low-to-high transition (tPD+)
and high-to-low transition (tPD-), and also between the QOUT and QOUT transition on the MAX909.
Note 12: Latch specifications apply to MAX909 only. See Figure 2.

_______________Detailed Description
Timing
Noise or undesired parasitic AC feedback cause most
high-speed comparators to oscillate in the linear region
(i.e., when the voltage on one input is at or near the
voltage on the other input). The MAX907/MAX908/
MAX909 eliminate this problem by incorporating internal hysteresis. When the two comparator input voltages are equal, hysteresis effectively causes one comparator input voltage to move quickly past the other,
thus taking the input out of the region where oscillation
occurs. Standard comparators require that hysteresis
be added through the use of external resistors. The
MAX907/MAX908/MAX909’s fixed internal hysteresis
eliminates these resistors (and the equations required
to determine appropriate values).

Adding hysteresis to a comparator creates two trip
points: one for the input voltage rising and one for the
input voltage falling (Figure 1). The difference between
these two input-referred trip points is the hysteresis.
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 MAX909 includes an internal latch, allowing the
result of a comparison to be stored. If LE is low, the
latch is transparent (i.e., the comparator operates as
though the latch is not present). The state of the comparator output is stored when LE is high. See Figure 2.
Note that the MAX909 can be operated with V- connected to ground or to a negative supply voltage. The
MAX909’s input range extends from (V- - 0.2V) to
(V+ - 1.5V).

Circuit Layout
Because of the MAX907/MAX908/MAX909’s high gain
bandwidth, special precautions must be taken to realize the full high-speed capability. A printed circuit
board with a good, low-inductance ground plane is
mandatory. Place the decoupling capacitor (a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor is a good choice) as close to V+ as
possible. Pay close attention to the decoupling capacitor’s bandwidth, keeping leads short. Short lead
lengths on the inputs and outputs are also essential to
avoid unwanted parasitic feedback around the comparators. Solder the device directly to the printed circuit board instead of using a socket.

Figure 4's circuit allows reception of infrared data. The
MAX403 converts the photodiode current to a voltage,
and the MAX907 determines whether the amplifier output
is high enough to be called a “1”. The current consumption of this circuit is minimal: The MAX403 and MAX907
require typically 250µA and 700µA, respectively.
Overdriving the Inputs
The inputs to the MAX907/MAX908/MAX909 may be
driven beyond the voltage limits given in the Absolute
Maximum Ratings, as long as the current flowing into
the device is limited to 25mA. However, if the inputs
are overdriven, the output may be inverted. The addition of an external diode prevents this inversion by limiting the input voltage to 200mV to 300mV below ground
(see Figure 3).
