19-2887; Rev. 2: 7/91 General Description The MAX900-903 high-speed, low-power, single/dual/ quad voltage comparators feature differential ana- log inputs and TTL logic outputs with active internal pull-ups. Fast propagation delay (8ns typ at 5mV overdrive) makes the MAX900-903 ideal for fast A/D converters and sampling circuits, line receivers, V/F converters, and many other data-discrimination ap- plications. 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, al- MA MAL/SVI High-Speed, Low-Power Voltage Comparators Features @ 8ns Typ Propagation Delay @ 18mW/Comparator Power Consumption (Typ at +5V) @ Separate Analog and Digital Supplies Flexible Analog Supply: +5V to +10V or +5V @ Input Range Includes Negative Supply Rail @ TTL Compatible Outputs # TTL Compatible Latch Inputs (Except MAX901) Ordering information lowing ground sensing when powered from a single PART TEMP.

A printed circuit board with a good, low-inductance ground plane is man- datory. All decoupling capacitors (the smal! 100nF ce- ramic type is a good choice) should be mounted as close as possible to the power-supply pins. Separate decou- pling capacitors for analog Vcc and for digital Vpp are also recommended. Close attention should be paid to the bandwidth of the decoupling and terminating components. Short lead lengths on the inputs and outputs are essential to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback around the compa- rators. Solider the device directly to the printed circuit board instead of using a socket. Input Slew-Rate Requirements As with all high-speed comparators, the high gain- bandwidth product of the MAX900-903 can create oscil- lation problems when the input traverses the linear region. For clean output switching without oscillation or steps in the output waveform, the inout must meet minimum slew- rate requirements. Oscillation is largely a function of board layout and of coupled source impedance and stray input capacitance. Both poor layout and large source impedance will cause the part to oscillate and increase the minimum slew-rate requirement. In some applica- tions, it may be heipful to apply some positive feedback between the output and + input. This pushes the output through the transition region cleanly, but applies a hys- teresis in threshold seen at the input terminals. TTL Output and Latch Inputs The comparator TTL output stages are optimized for driving low-power Schottky TTL with a fan-out of four. When the latch is connected to a logic high level or left floating, the comparator is transparent and immediately responds to changes at the input terminals. When the latch is connected to a TTL low level, the comparator output latches in the same state as at the instant that the latch command is applied, and will not respond to sub- sequent changes at the input. No latch is provided on the MAX901. Power Supplies The MAX900-903 can be powered from separate analog and digital supplies or from a single +5V supply. The analog supply can range from +5V to +10V with VEE grounded for single-supply operation (Figures 1A and 1B) or from asplit+5V supply (Figure 1C). The Voo digital supply always requires +5V In high-speed, mixed-signal applications where a com- mon ground is shared, a noisy digital environment can adversely affect the analog input signal. When set up with separate supplies (Figure 1C), the MAX900-903 isolate analog and digital signals by providing a separate AGND(VEE) and DGND.
