Maxim Integrated MAX913CSA+ Low-Power, High-Speed, Single-Supply TTL Comparators

The MAX913CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance, single-supply comparator designed for systems where high speed, low power consumption, and small size are paramount. This device is an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including battery-powered systems, threshold detectors, line receivers, and portable instrumentation.

Operating from a single +5V supply, the MAX913CSA+ features a fast propagation delay of typically 10ns, making it one of the fastest comparators in its class. The device is designed to interface directly with TTL and CMOS logic, and its output stage is capable of sinking 40mA, allowing for direct drive of a TTL load without pull-up resistors, simplifying design and saving board space.

The MAX913CSA+ comes in a compact 8-pin SOIC package, offering a space-saving solution for designs where board real estate is at a premium. The device also features a latch function that can be used to hold the comparator's output in a particular state, providing additional flexibility in timing-sensitive applications.

Key features of the MAX913CSA+ include:

• Single +5V supply operation
• Low power consumption: 5mW at +5V
• Fast 10ns propagation delay
• Direct drive of TTL loads
• 40mA sink current capability
• Latch function for added control
• Input voltage range extends 200mV below ground
• No power supply glitches during power-up or power-down
• 8-pin SOIC package for compact footprint

Additionally, the MAX913CSA+ is designed to maintain its performance over the full temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. Its robust design includes features that prevent power supply glitches during power-up or power-down from affecting the comparator's operation, making it a dependable choice for critical applications.

Whether you are designing a high-speed data acquisition system, a precision threshold detector, or any other application requiring a fast, low-power comparator, the MAX913CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is an excellent choice that combines speed, efficiency, and reliability in a small package.
