_________________General Description
The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 are low-power,
ultra-high-speed comparators with internal hysteresis.
These devices are optimized for single +3V or +5V
operation. The input common-mode range extends
100mV Beyond-the-Rails™, and the outputs can sink
or source 4mA to within 0.52V of GND and VCC.
Propagation delay is 4.5ns (5mV overdrive), while sup-
ply current is 5mA per comparator.
The MAX961/MAX963/MAX964 and MAX997 have a
shutdown mode in which they consume only 270µA
supply current per comparator. The MAX961/MAX963
provide complementary outputs and a latch-enable fea-
ture. Latch enable allows the user to hold a valid com-
parator output. The MAX999 is available in a tiny
SOT23-5 package. The single MAX961/MAX997 and
dual MAX962 are available in space-saving 8-pin
µMAX®packages.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)
(VCC = +2.7V to +5.5V, VCM = 0V, COUT = 5pF, VSHDN = 0V, VLE = 0V, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 1)
Note 1: The MAX961EUA/MAX962EUA/MAX997EUA/MAX999EUK are 100% production tested at TA= +25°C; all temperature specifica-
tions are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: Inferred by CMRR. Either input can be driven to the absolute maximum limit without false output inversion, provided that the other
input is within the input voltage range.
Note 3: 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.)
Note 4: Input offset voltage is defined as the mean of the trip points.
Note 5: CMRR = (VOSL - VOSH) / 5.2V, where VOSL is the offset at VCM = -0.1V and VOSH is the offset at VCM = 5.1V.
Note 6: PSRR = (VOS2.7 - VOS5.5) / 2.8V, where VOS2.7 is the offset voltage at VCC = 2.7V, and VOS5.5 is the offset voltage at
VCC = 5.5V.
Note 7: Propagation delay for these high-speed comparators is guaranteed by design characterization because it cannot be accurately
measured using automatic test equipment. A statistically significant sample of devices is characterized with a 200mV step and
100mV overdrive over the full temperature range. Propagation delay can be guaranteed by this characterization, since DC tests
ensure that all internal bias conditions are correct. For low overdrive conditions, VTRIP is added to the overdrive.
Note 8: Guaranteed by design.

MAX963 MAX964MAX997 MAX962MAX961MAX999 NAME FUNCTION
MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999
Single/Dual/Quad, Ultra-High-Speed, +3V/+5V,
Beyond-the-Rails Comparators
_______________________________________________________________________________________ 7
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 single-supply
comparators feature internal hysteresis, ultra-high-
speed operation, and low power consumption. Their
outputs are guaranteed to pull within 0.52V of either rail
without external pullup or pulldown circuitry. Beyond-
the-Rails input voltage range and low-voltage, single-
supply operation make these devices ideal for portable
equipment. These comparators all interface directly to
CMOS logic.
Timing
Most high-speed comparators oscillate in the linear
region because of noise or undesirable parasitic feed-
back. This can occur when the voltage on one input is
close to or equal to the voltage on the other input.
These devices have a small amount of internal hystere-
sis to counter parasitic effects and noise.
The added hysteresis of the MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/
MAX999 creates two trip points: one for the rising input
voltage and one for the falling input voltage (Figure 1).
The difference between the trip points is the hysteresis.
When the comparator’s input voltages are equal, the
hysteresis effectively causes one comparator input
voltage to move quickly past the other, thus taking the
input out of the region where oscillation occurs. Standard
comparators require hysteresis to be added with external
resistors. The fixed internal hysteresis eliminates these
resistors.
The MAX961/MAX963 include internal latches that allow
storage of comparison results. LE has a high input
impedance. If LE is low, the latch is transparent (i.e.,
the comparator operates as though the latch is not pre-
sent). The comparator’s output state is stored when LE
is pulled high. All timing constraints must be met when
using the latch function (Figure 2).
Input Stage Circuitry
The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 include inter-
nal protection circuitry that prevents damage to the pre-
cision input stage from large differential input voltages.
This protection circuitry consists of two groups of three
front-to-back diodes between IN+ and IN-, as well as
two 200Ωresistors (Figure 3). The diodes limit the dif-
ferential voltage applied to the comparator’s internal
circuitry to no more than 3VF, where VFis the diode’s
forward-voltage drop (about 0.7V at +25°C).

8 _______________________________________________________________________________________
For a large differential input voltage (exceeding 3VF),
this protection circuitry increases the input bias current
at IN+ (source) and IN- (sink).
(IN+ - IN-) - 3VF
Input current = ————————
2 x 200
Input currents with large differential input voltages
should not be confused with input bias currents (IB).
As long as the differential input voltage is less than
3VF, this input current is less than 2IB.
The input circuitry allows the MAX961–MAX964/
MAX997/MAX999’s input common-mode range to
extend 100mV beyond both power-supply rails. The
output remains in the correct logic state if one or both
inputs are within the common-mode range. Taking
either input outside the common-mode range causes
the input to saturate and the propagation delay to
increase.

Output Stage Circuitry
The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999 contain a cur-
rent-driven output stage, as shown in Figure 4. During an
output transition, ISOURCE or ISINK is pushed or pulled to
the output pin. The output source or sink current is high
during the transition, creating a rapid slew rate. Once the
output voltage reaches VOH or VOL, the source or sink
current decreases to a small value, capable of maintain-
ing the VOH or VOL in static condition. This decrease in
current conserves power after an output transition has
occurred.
One consequence of a current-driven output stage is a
linear dependence between the slew rate and the load
capacitance. A heavy capacitive load slows down the
voltage output transition.
Shutdown Mode
When SHDN is high, the MAX961/MAX963/MAX964/
MAX997 shut down. When shut down, the supply cur-
rent drops to 270µA per comparator, and the outputs
become high impedance. SHDN has a high input
impedance. Connect SHDN to GND for normal opera-
tion. Exit shutdown with LE low; otherwise, the output is
indeterminate.
__________Applications Information
Circuit Layout and Bypassing
The MAX961–MAX964/MAX997/MAX999’s high band-
width requires a high-speed layout. Follow these layout
guidelines:
1) Use a PCB with a good, unbroken, low-inductance
ground plane.
2) Place a decoupling capacitor (a 0.1µF ceramic sur-
face-mount capacitor is a good choice) as close to
VCC as possible.
3) On the inputs and outputs, keep lead lengths short
to avoid unwanted parasitic feedback around the
comparators. Keep inputs away from outputs. Keep
impedance between the inputs low.
4) Solder the device directly to the printed circuit board
rather than using a socket.
5) Refer to Figure 5 for a recommended circuit layout.
6) For slow-moving input signals, take care to prevent
parasitic feedback. A small capacitor (1000pF or
less) placed between the inputs can help eliminate
oscillations in the transition region. This capacitor
causes negligible degradation to tPD when the
source impedance is low.
