Product details
Overview
MAX9010EXT+T from Maxim Integrated is a single, high-speed, precision TTL comparator operating from a 4.5V to 5.5V single supply. It features 5ns typical propagation delay, 900µA quiescent current, and rail-to-rail input capability extending 200mV below ground-enabling zero-crossing detection in low-power, space-constrained industrial sensing and signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9010EXT+T datasheet, MAX9010EXT+T pinout, MAX9010EXT+T application, or MAX9010EXT+T equivalent, this device is selected for ultra-fast, low-noise threshold detection where stable linear-region operation, no hysteresis requirement, and SC70-6 footprint are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX9010EXT+T employs a fully differential bipolar input stage with 0.7mV typical input offset voltage at +25°C and 3000 V/V small-signal voltage gain. Its input common-mode range spans –0.2V to (VCC – 1.9V), supporting ground-referenced inputs without phase reversal.
No minimum input slew-rate requirement is imposed due to inherent linear-region stability-eliminating oscillation during slow-moving or low-overdrive signal transitions. Output is TTL-compatible with 0.5V typical VOL at 4mA sink and 2.7V typical VOH at 4mA source under 4.5V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 5ns typical - enables sub-200MHz signal edge detection with minimal timing uncertainty |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of ±5% regulation variation |
| Quiescent Current | 900µA - supports battery-powered or thermally sensitive applications with low static power |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±7mV max over –40°C to +85°C - ensures accurate DC thresholding without calibration |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –0.2V to (VCC – 1.9V) - allows direct connection to ground-referenced sensors and AC-coupled signals |
| Output Type | TTL-compatible single-ended - interfaces directly with 74LS/74F logic without level-shifting |
| Input Noise Density | 6nV/√Hz at 100kHz - preserves signal integrity in low-amplitude analog front-ends |
Pinout & Package
The MAX9010EXT+T is housed in a 6-pin SC70 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Comparator output - TTL-high when IN+ > IN-, drives 4mA sink/4mA source loads |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input - accepts signals down to –0.2V; high-impedance (1MΩ common-mode, 250kΩ differential) |
| 4 | IN- | Inverting input - matched to IN+; supports differential or single-ended configurations |
| 5 & 6 | VCC | Positive supply - both pins must be connected to 4.5V–5.5V rail and bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable linear-region operation | Eliminates need for external hysteresis, preserving resolution for low-overdrive signals near zero crossing |
| No minimum input slew-rate requirement | Supports DC to 200MHz signal detection-including triangle waves, slow ramps, and low-amplitude sine waves |
| Ground-extending input range | Accepts inputs 200mV below GND without output phase reversal-critical for bipolar sensor interfacing |
| Low supply-current spikes | Avoids transient noise coupling into adjacent analog circuitry during fast output transitions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9011EUT+T | Includes latch enable (LE) input; identical SC70-6 package and 5ns propagation delay; 1.3mA supply current | Required when output state must be held asynchronously (e.g., sample-and-hold, peak detection) | Select MAX9011EUT+T only if latching functionality is needed; otherwise MAX9010EXT+T offers lower power and simpler interface |
| TLV3501DBVR | 3.3V-only supply (2.7V–5.5V); 4.5ns propagation delay; 5.3mA supply current; rail-to-rail inputs | Suitable for mixed-voltage systems but incompatible with strict 5V-only designs requiring <1mA quiescent current | Choose TLV3501DBVR only when 3.3V operation or rail-to-rail input swing beyond –0.2V is required; MAX9010EXT+T remains optimal for 5V, low-power, ground-referenced use cases |
Compared with MAX9011EUT+T, the MAX9010EXT+T saves 400µA quiescent current and removes latch control complexity; versus TLV3501DBVR, it delivers 4.7× lower supply current at 5V and guaranteed –0.2V input capability-making it superior for battery-operated or thermally limited 5V systems demanding precision zero-crossing detection.

FAQ
What is the maximum input overdrive voltage the MAX9010EXT+T can handle without damage?
The MAX9010EXT+T supports analog input voltages from –0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V) without permanent damage. This means at VCC = 5.5V, inputs may safely reach up to +5.8V or –0.3V. However, correct comparator operation requires at least one input within the specified common-mode range of –0.2V to (VCC – 1.9V). The MAX9010EXT+T maintains stable output behavior even with overdriven inputs-no phase reversal occurs.
Does the MAX9010EXT+T require external hysteresis for stable operation?
No, the MAX9010EXT+T does not require external hysteresis. Its internal architecture prevents oscillation in the linear region-even with slow-moving or low-overdrive inputs-preserving resolution and eliminating hysteresis-induced dead bands. Adding hysteresis degrades accuracy and is unnecessary for reliable operation of the MAX9010EXT+T.
What is the recommended power-supply bypassing for the MAX9010EXT+T?
A 0.1µF surface-mount ceramic capacitor must be placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to pins 5 and 6 of the MAX9010EXT+T. Both VCC pins must be connected to the same supply rail. This minimizes high-frequency supply impedance and prevents output instability caused by transient current demands during fast switching events in the MAX9010EXT+T.
Can the MAX9010EXT+T operate with input signals below ground?
Yes-the MAX9010EXT+T accepts input voltages down to –0.2V (200mV below ground) while maintaining correct and stable output logic states. This feature enables direct interfacing with bipolar sensors, AC-coupled sources, and ground-referenced transducers without level-shifting circuitry. The MAX9010EXT+T exhibits no output phase reversal when either input is driven to –0.2V.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the MAX9010EXT+T?
The MAX9010EXT+T is fully specified and guaranteed over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. All electrical parameters-including propagation delay, input offset voltage, supply current, and output drive strength-are tested and validated across this full range, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments such as factory automation, outdoor instrumentation, and motor control systems.
