Dual, Ultra-Fast ECL-Output Comparator
_______________General Description
The MAX9687 is a dual, ultra-fast ECL comparator
manufactured with a high-frequency bipolar process
(fT= 6GHz) capable of very short propagation delays.
This design maintains the excellent DC matching characteristics normally found only in slower comparators.
The MAX9687 is pin-compatible with the AD9687 and
Am6687, but exceeds their AC characteristics.
The MAX9687 has differential inputs and complementary outputs that are fully compatible with ECL-logic levels. Output current levels are capable of driving 50Ω
terminated transmission lines. The ultra-fast operation
makes signal processing possible at frequencies in
excess of 600MHz.
A latch-enable (LE) function is provided to allow the
comparator to be used in a sample/hold or track/hold
mode. The latch-enable inputs are designed to be driven from the complementary outputs of a standard ECL
gate. When LE is high and –L—E–is low, the comparator
functions normally. When LE is forced low and –L—E–is
high, the comparator outputs are locked in the logical
states determined by the input conditions at the time of
the latch transition. If the latch-enable function is not
used on either of the two comparators, the appropriate
LE input must be connected to ground; the companion
–L—E–
input can be left open.

Note 1: Continuous short-circuit protection is allowed on one comparator at a time up to case temperatures of +85°C and ambient
temperatures of +30°C.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
