Not Recommended for New Designs
The MAX900 was manufactured for Maxim by an outside wafer
foundry using a process that is no longer available. It is not
recommended for new designs. A Maxim replacement or an industry
second-source may be available. The data sheet remains available for
existing users. The other parts on the following data sheet are not
affected.
For further information, please see the QuickView data sheet for this
part or contact technical support for assistance.

High-Speed, Low-Power Voltage Comparators
Features
The MAX900–MAX903 high-speed, low-power, single/
dual/quad voltage comparators feature differential analog inputs and TTL-logic outputs with active internal pullups. Fast propagation delay (8ns typ at 5mV overdrive)
makes the MAX900–MAX903 ideal for fast A/D converters and sampling circuits, line receivers, V/F converters,
and many other data-discrimination applications.
♦ 8ns (typ) Propagation Delay
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, allowing ground sensing when
powered from a single supply. The MAX900–MAX903
consume 18mW per comparator when powered from +5V.
♦ TTL-Compatible Outputs
♦ 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 Latch Inputs (Except MAX901)
Ordering Information
PART
The MAX900–MAX903 are equipped with independent
TTL-compatible latch inputs. The comparator output
states are held when the latch inputs are driven low. The
MAX901 provides the same performance as the
MAX900/MAX902/MAX903 with the exception of the
latches.
For newer, pin-for-pin compatible parts with the same
speed and only half the power dissipation, see the
MAX9201/MAX9202/MAX9203 data sheet.

Note 1: The input common-mode voltage and input signal voltages should not be allowed to go negative by more than 0.2V below
VEE. The upper-end of the common-mode voltage range is typically VCC - 2V, but either or both inputs can go to a maximum
of VCC + 0.2V without damage.
Note 2: Tested for +4.75V < VCC < +5.25V, and -5.25V < VEE < -4.75V with VDD = +5V, although permissible analog power-supply
range is +4.75V < VCC < +10.5V for single-supply operation with VEE grounded.
Note 3: Specification does not apply to MAX901.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design. Times are for 100mV step inputs (see Propagation Delay Characteristics in Figures 2 and 3).
Note 5: Maximum difference in propagation delay between any of the four comparators in the MAX900–MAX903.
Note 6: See Timing Diagram (Figure 2). Owing to the difficult and critical nature of switching measurements involving the latch,
these parameters cannot be tested in a production environment. Typical specifications listed are taken from measurements
using a high-speed test-jig.
Note 7: ICC tested for +4.75V < VCC < +10.5V with VEE grounded. IEE tested for -5.25V < VEE < -4.75V with VCC = +5V. IDD tested
for +4.75V < VDD < +5.25V with the worst-case condition of all four comparator outputs at logic low.

Pin Descriptions
MAX900–MAX903
High-Speed, Low-Power Voltage Comparators
Applications Information
pushes the output through the transition region cleanly,
but applies a hysteresis in threshold seen at the input
terminals.
Circuit Layout
Because of the large gain-bandwidth transfer function of
the MAX900–MAX903, special precautions must be
taken to realize their full high-speed capability. A printed
circuit board with a good, low-inductance ground plane
is mandatory. All decoupling capacitors (the small
100nF ceramic type is a good choice) should be mounted as close as possible to the power-supply pins.
Separate decoupling capacitors for analog VCC and for
digital V DD 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 comparators. Solder the
device directly to the printed circuit board instead of
using a socket.
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, 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 subsequent changes
at the input. No latch is provided on the MAX901.
Power Supplies
The MAX900–MAX903 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 a split ±5V supply (Figure 1C). The VDD
digital supply always requires +5V.
In high-speed, mixed-signal applications where a common ground is shared, a noisy digital environment can
adversely affect the analog input signal. When set up
with separate supplies (Figure 1C), the
MAX900–MAX903 isolate analog and digital signals by
providing a separate AGND (VEE) and DGND.
Input Slew-Rate Requirements
As with all high-speed comparators, the high gain-bandwidth product of the MAX900–MAX903 can create oscillation problems when the input traverses the linear
region. For clean output switching without oscillation or
steps in the output waveform, the input 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 applications, it may be helpful to apply some positive feedback between the output and + input. This

set to 100mV for comparator
specifications.
tpd- (D)
Latch Disable-to-Output Low Delay:
The propagation delay measured from
the latch-signal crossing the TTL
threshold in a low-to-high transition to
the point of the output crossing TTL
threshold in a high-to-low transition.
VOD
Input Voltage Overdrive: Usually set to
5mV and in opposite polarity to VIN for
comparator specifications.
ts
Minimum Setup Time: The minimum
time before the negative transition of the
latch signal that an input signal change
must be present in order to be acquired
and held at the outputs.
tpd+
Input-to-Output High Delay: The
propagation delay measured from the
time the input signal crosses the input
offset voltage to the TTL-logic threshold
of an output low-to-high transition
th
Minimum Hold Time: The minimum time
after the negative transition of the latch
signal that an input signal must remain
unchanged in order to be acquired and
held at the output.
tpd-
Input-to-Output Low Delay: The
propagation delay measured from the
time the input signal crosses the input
offset voltage to the TTL-logic threshold
of an output high-to-low transition.
tpw (D)
Minimum Latch-Disable Pulse Width:
The minimum time that the latch signal
must remain high in order to acquire and
hold an input-signal change.

The MX7228’s internal latches allow the system
processor to set the limit points for each comparator
independently and update them at any time. Set the
upper and lower thresholds for a single transducer by
pairing the D/A converter and comparator sections.

Programmed, Variable-Alarm Limits
By combining two quad analog comparators with an
