The MAX903CSA+ is a high-speed, low-power, single/dual/quad voltage comparator featuring differential analog inputs and TTL-logic outputs with active internal pullups. It is categorized as a linear comparator that excels in fast A/D converters and sampling circuits, line receivers, V/F converters, and many other data-discrimination applications. The MAX903CSA+'s fast propagation delay of 8ns typ at 5mV overdrive makes it an ideal choice for time-sensitive applications.

Features:

• 8ns (typ) Propagation Delay
• 18mW/Comparator Power Consumption (+5V, typ)
• 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)

Applications:

• High-Speed A/D Converters
• High-Speed V/F Converters
• Line Receivers
• Threshold Detectors
• Input Trigger Circuitry
• High-Speed Data Sampling
• PWM Circuits

Advantages:

• Fast propagation delay at 8ns typ at 5mV overdrive, which makes it ideal for time-sensitive applications and fast A/D converters.
• Low power consumption of only 18mW/comparator (+5V, typ) helps to minimize power usage.
• TTL-logic outputs with active internal pullups and TTL-compatible latch inputs (except MAX901) make it easier to interface with other digital circuits.

The MAX903CSA+ has no significant disadvantages reported by users or known from its design.
