High-Speed, Low-Power, 3V/5V, Rail-to-Rail,
Single-Supply Comparators
General Description
The MAX941/MAX942/MAX944 are single/dual/quad
high-speed comparators optimized for systems pow-
ered from a 3V or 5V supply. These devices combine
high speed, low power, and rail-to-rail inputs.
Propagation delay is 80ns, while supply current is only
350µA per comparator.
The input common-mode range of the MAX941/
MAX942/MAX944 extends beyond both power-supply
rails. The outputs pull to within 0.4V of either supply rail
without external pullup circuitry, making these devices
ideal for interface with both CMOS and TTL logic. All
input and output pins can tolerate a continuous short-
circuit fault condition to either rail.
Internal hysteresis ensures clean output switching,
even with slow-moving input signals. The MAX941 fea-
tures latch enable and device shutdown.
The single MAX941 and dual MAX942 are offered in a
tiny µMAX
®
package. Both the single and dual MAX942
are available in 8-pin DIP and SO packages. The quad
MAX944 comes in 14-pin DIP and narrow SO packages.

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.

Inferred from the CMRR test. Note also that either or both inputs can be driven to the absolute maximum limit (0.3V
beyond either supply rail) without damage or false output inversion.
The input-referred trip points are the extremities of the differential input voltage required to make the comparator output
change state. The difference between the upper and lower trip points is equal to the width of the input-referred hysteresis
zone (see Figure 1).
V
OS
is defined as the center of the input-referred hysteresis zone (see Figure 1).
The polarity of I
B
reverses direction as V
CM
approaches either supply rail. See
Typical Operating Characteristics
for more
detail.
Specified over the full common-mode range (V
CMR
).
Applies to the MAX941 only when in shutdown mode. Specification is for current flowing into or out of the output pin for
V
OUT
driven to any voltage from V+ to GND.
Typical power dissipation specified with V+ = 3V; maximum with V+ = 5.5V.
Parameter is guaranteed by design and specified with V
OD
= 5mV and C
LOAD
= 15pF in parallel with 400µA of sink or
source current. V
OS
is added to the overdrive voltage for low values of overdrive (see Figure 2).
Specified between any two channels in the MAX942/MAX944.
Specified as the difference between t

and t

for any one comparator.
