Single/Dual, +3V/+5V Dual-Speed
Comparators with Auto-Standby
The MAX975/MAX977 single/dual comparators feature
three different operating modes, and are optimized for
+3V and +5V single-supply applications. The operating
modes are as follows: high speed, high speed with
auto-standby, and low power. Propagation delay is 28ns
in high-speed mode, while supply current is only 250µA.
Supply current is reduced to 3µA in low-power mode.
The auto-standby feature allows the comparator to
automatically change from low-power mode to highspeed mode upon receipt of an input signal. In the
absence of an input signal, the comparator reverts
back to low-power mode after an adjustable timeout
period. The timeout period for the MAX975 to enter
standby is set by a single capacitor. The dual MAX977
features independently adjustable timeout periods for
each comparator using separate capacitors.
The MAX975/MAX977’s inputs have a common-mode
voltage range of -0.2V to (VCC - 1.2V). The differential
input voltage range extends rail to rail. The outputs are
capable of rail-to-rail operation without external pull-up
circuitry, making these devices ideal for interface with
CMOS/TTL logic. All inputs and outputs can tolerate a
continuous short-circuit fault condition to either rail. The
comparator’s internal hysteresis in high-speed mode
ensures clean output switching, even with slow-moving
input signals.

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.

Note 1: The MAX975EUA is 100% production tested at TA = +25°C; all temperature specifications are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: Inferred by CMRR. Either input can be driven to the absolute maximum limit without false output inversion, as long as the
other input is within the specified common-mode input voltage range.
Note 3: VOS is defined as the mean of trip points. The trip points are the extremities of the differential input voltage required to make
the comparator output change state (Figure 1).
Note 4: The difference between the upper and lower trip points is equal to the width of the input-referred hysteresis zone (Figure 1).
Note 5: Guaranteed by design. The LP pin is sensitive to noise. If fall times larger than 10µs are expected, bypass LP to ground
using a 0.1µF capacitor.
Note 6: Propagation delay is guaranteed by design. For low-overdrive conditions, VOS is added to the overdrive. The following
equation defines propagation-delay skew: tSKEW = tPD+ - tPD-.

Timing specifications are guaranteed by design.
Set by 1000pF external capacitor at the STO_ pin. tASB is defined as the time from last input transition to STAT_ = high.
Does not include time to go into standby condition (tASBE).
tASBE is defined as the time from when STAT_ goes high to when the supply current drops to 5µA.
tASD is defined as the time from the last input transition to when STAT_ goes low. The comparator is in high-speed mode
before STAT_ is low.
tPWD is defined as the minimum input or LP pulse width to trigger fast-mode operation from auto-standby.
tASCD is defined as the time from the last input transition to when the supply current increases to 300µA.
tLPE is defined as the time from when LP is driven high to when the supply current drops to 5µA.
tHSE is defined as the time from when LP goes low to when STAT goes low. The comparator is in high-speed mode before
STAT_ is low.
tLPCD is defined as the time from when LP goes low to when the supply current increases to 300µA.
tLPSH is defined as the time from when LP goes high to when STAT_ goes high.

STAT
Mode Status Pin. Indicates the operating mode. STAT is high for auto-standby mode or low-power
mode, and during the transition to high-speed mode. STAT = low indicates that the comparator is in
high-speed mode. STAT can source 3mA to power additional circuitry.
5
STO
Set Timeout Input. Connect a capacitor from STO to GND to program the time the comparator may
remain idle before entering standby mode. Connect STO to GND to disable the auto-standby feature. Calculate timeout with the following relationship: tASB = 10 x C µs, where C is in pF.

LP
Low Power Mode Input. Drive LP high for low-power mode. Drive LP low for high-speed mode
(STO = GND) or for high-speed mode with auto-standby. Connect to GND if low-power mode will
not be used. Connect to VCC if high-speed mode will not be used.

Set Idle Timeout Input A/B. Connect a capacitor from STOA/STOB to GND to program
the time in which comparator A/B may remain idle before entering standby mode.
Connect STOA/STOB to GND to disable the auto-standby feature for comparator A/B.
Calculate timeout with the following relationship: tASB = 10 x C µs, where C is in pF.

Noninverting Input for Comparator B/A
Inverting Input for Comparator B/A
Mode Status Pin B/A. Indicates the operating mode of comparator B/A.
STATB/STATA is high for auto-standby mode or for low-power mode, and during
the transition to high-speed mode. STATB/STATA = low indicates that comparator
B/A is in high-speed mode. STATB/STATA can source 3mA to power additional
circuitry.
No Connection. Not internally connected.
Low Power Mode Input for both comparators. Drive LP high for low-power mode.
Drive LP low for high-speed mode (STO_ = GND) or for high-speed mode with autostandby. Connect to GND if low-power mode will not be used. Connect to VCC if
high-speed mode will not be used.
