The MAX9010/MAX9011/MAX9013 are three high-performance comparators from MAXIM, which can operate on a single power supply voltage and have low power consumption. These comparators have precision differential inputs and TTL outputs. They have short propagation delay (typical of 5ns), low supply current and a wide common mode input range that includes ground. They are ideal for low-power, high-speed, single-supply applications. When driven with slow-moving or low input-over-drive signals, the comparator outputs remain stable through the linear region, eliminating the output instability common to other high-speed comparators. The input voltage range extends to 200mV below ground with no output phase reversal. The MAX9013 features complementary outputs and both the MAX9011/MAX9013 have a latch enable input (LE). The MAX9013 is an improved plug-in replacement for the industry-standard MAX913 and LT1016/LT1116, offering lower power and higher speed when used in a single 5V supply application. For space-critical designs, the single MAX9010 is available in the tiny 6-pin SC70 package. The single MAX9011 is available in a space-saving 6-pin SOT23 package. The dual MAX9012 and the single MAX9013 are available in 8-pin µMAX and 8-pin SO packages. All products in the family are guaranteed over the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The MAX9010, MAX9011, MAX9012, and MAX9013 are high‑speed comparators that operate from a single 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, offering ultra‑fast 5 ns propagation delay, low quiescent current, and a wide common‑mode input range that includes ground. They are designed for low‑power, high‑speed, single‑supply applications and provide stable output behavior even with slow‑moving or over‑driven inputs.
These devices are offered in space‑saving packages such as 6‑pin SC70, 6‑pin SOT‑23, 8‑pin µMAX, and 8‑pin SO. The family includes latch‑enable functionality on the MAX9011 and MAX9013, and the MAX9013 adds complementary TTL‑compatible outputs. Typical applications include high‑speed signal squaring, zero‑crossing detection, line receivers, sampling circuits, and pulse‑width discriminators.
