25ns, Dual/Quad/Single, Low-Power,
TTL Comparators
General Description
The MAX9107/MAX9108/MAX9109 dual/quad/single,
high-speed, low-power voltage comparators are
designed for use in systems powered from a single
+5V supply. Their 25ns propagation delay (with 10mV
input overdrive) is achieved with a power consumption
of only 1.75mW per comparator. The wide input com-
mon-mode range extends from 200mV below ground
to within 1.5V of the positive supply rail.
The MAX9107/MAX9108/MAX9109 outputs are TTL-
compatible, requiring no external pullup circuitry.
These easy-to-use comparators incorporate internal
hysteresis to ensure clean output switching even when
the devices are driven by a slow-moving input signal.
The MAX9107/MAX9108/MAX9109 are higher-speed,
lower-power, lower-cost upgrades to industry-standard
comparators MAX907/MAX908/MAX909. The MAX9109
features an output latch but does not have comple-
mentary outputs.
The dual MAX9107 is available in both 8-pin SO and
SOT23 packages. The quad MAX9108 is available in
14-pin TSSOP and SO packages while the single
MAX9109 is available in an ultra-small 6-pin SC70
package, a space-saving 6-pin SOT23 package and
an 8-pin SO package.

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.

Devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Input Offset Voltage is defined as the center of the input-referred hysteresis zone. Specified for V
CM
= 0. See Figure 1.
Trip Point is defined as the input voltage required to make the comparator output change state. The difference
between upper (V
TRIP
+) and lower (V
TRIP
-) trip points is equal to the width of the input-referred hysteresis zone (V
HYST
).
Specified for an input common-mode voltage (V
CM
) of 0. See Figure 1.
Inferred from the CMRR test. Note that a correct logic result is obtained at the output, provided that at least one input is
within the V
CMR
limits. Note also that either or both inputs can be driven to the upper or lower absolute maximum limit with-
out damage to the part.
Tested over the full-input voltage range (V
CMR
).
Differential Propagation Delay is specified as the difference between any two channels in the MAX9107/MAX9108 (both
outputs making either a low-to-high or a high-to-low transition).
Propagation Delay Skew is specified as the difference between any single channel’s output low-to-high transition (t
PD
+)
and high-to-low transition (t
PD
-).
Latch specifications apply to MAX9109 only. See Figure 2.
