General Description
The MAX900–MAX903 high-speed, low-power, single/
dual/quad voltage comparators feature differential analog inputs and TTL-logic outputs with active internal pullups. Fast propagation delay (8ns typ at 5mV overdrive)
makes the MAX900–MAX903 ideal for fast A/D converters and sampling circuits, line receivers, V/F converters,
and many other data-discrimination applications.
All comparators can be powered from separate analog
and digital power supplies or from a single combined supply voltage. The analog input common-mode range
includes the negative rail, allowing ground sensing when
powered from a single supply. The MAX900–MAX903
consume 18mW per comparator when powered from +5V.
The MAX900–MAX903 are equipped with independent
TTL-compatible latch inputs. The comparator output
states are held when the latch inputs are driven low. The
MAX901 provides the same performance as the
MAX900/MAX902/MAX903 with the exception of the
latches.
For newer, pin-for-pin compatible parts with the same
speed and only half the power dissipation, see the
MAX9201/MAX9202/MAX9203 data sheet.

(VCC= +5V, VEE= -5V, VDD= +5V, LE1–LE4 = logic high, TA= +25°C, unless otherwise noted.)
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.
