Dual Driver/Comparator/Load
with Internal DACs
General Description
The MAX9973/MAX9974 fully integrated, high-perfor-
mance, dual-channel pin electronics driver/compara-
tor/load (DCL) with built-in level-setting digital-to-analog
converters (DACs) are ideally suited for memory and
SOC automatic test equipment (ATE) applications.
Each channel includes a three-level pin driver, a win-
dow comparator, dynamic clamps, a 1kΩ load, and
seven independent level-setting DACs.
The driver features a wide voltage range and high-speed
operation, includes high-impedance and active-termina-
tion (3rd-level drive) modes, and is highly linear even at
low voltage swings. Additionally, the driver provides high-
speed differential multiplexer control inputs, with internal
termination resistors that are compatible with ECL, LV-
PECL, LVDS, and GTL. The window comparators provide
extremely low timing variation over changes in slew rate,
pulse width, or overdrive voltage, and have open-collec-
tor outputs. When high-impedance mode is selected, the
dynamic clamps provide damping of high-speed device-
under-test (DUT) waveforms. The load facilitates fast con-
tact testing when used in conjunction with the
comparators, and functions as a pullup for
open-drain/collector DUT_ outputs. The MAX9973/
MAX9974 are configured through a serial interface.
The MAX9973/MAX9974 differ in two aspects: the posi-
tion of the exposed heat slug and the pin arrangement.
The MAX9973G/MAX9974G comparator outputs sink
8mA (typ), while the MAX9973H/MAX9974H compara-
tor outputs sink 16mA (typ). The devices are available
in a 64-pin (10mm x 10mm x 1.00mm) TQFP-EP pack-
age with an exposed paddle on top (MAX9973) or bot-
tom (MAX9974) for heat removal. Power dissipation is
only 700mW per channel. The full operating voltage
range is -1.5V to +6.5V. Operation is specified at an
internal die temperature of +40°C to +100°C, and fea-
tures a temperature monitor output.

*Dissipation
wattage values are based on still air with no heat sink. Actual maximum power dissipation is a function of heat extraction technique and may be
substantially higher.
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.
