Product details

Overview

MAX9013ESA-T from Maxim Integrated is a single, high-speed, precision TTL comparator with complementary outputs and latch enable functionality, operating from a 4.5V to 5.5V single supply. It delivers 5ns typical propagation delay, ±5.5mV input offset voltage over temperature, and stable operation with slow-moving or low-overdrive inputs - ideal for zero-crossing detection and high-speed sampling circuits in industrial timing and signal conditioning systems.

For engineers reviewing the MAX9013ESA-T datasheet, MAX9013ESA-T pinout, MAX9013ESA-T application, or MAX9013ESA-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-chain support for production deployment.

Technical Context

The MAX9013ESA-T uses a bipolar process with fully differential input amplifiers enabling operation down to −0.2V common-mode input (200mV below ground) and up to VCC − 1.9V, delivering 3.3V total common-mode range at 5V supply. Its latch enable (LE) input supports transparent/latched output modes with 2ns setup and 0.5ns hold time, while complementary outputs (OUT/OUTB) provide matched rise/fall timing without external inversion.

No minimum input slew rate is required due to inherent linear-region stability - eliminating need for external hysteresis and preserving resolution. Propagation delay remains stable across 5–100mV overdrive (5–9ns), and differential propagation delay is limited to 2–3ns between complementary outputs, ensuring precise edge alignment in timing-critical applications.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Propagation Delay	5ns typical (C_L = 5pF, V_OD = 100mV); enables sub-10ns timing decisions in pulse-width discriminators and triggers.
Input Offset Voltage	±5.5mV max over −40°C to +85°C; ensures accurate DC-level comparisons without calibration in sensor interfaces.
Supply Current	1.3mA typical at +25°C; supports low-power battery-backed or energy-constrained designs without sacrificing speed.
Common-Mode Input Range	−0.2V to V_CC − 1.9V; allows direct interfacing to signals referenced below ground (e.g., op-amp outputs, transducer bridges).
Output Type	TTL-compatible complementary outputs (OUT/OUTB); eliminates need for external inverters in differential signaling or RS-422 driver stages.
Latch Enable Function	LE pin with 2V VIH / 0.8V VIL thresholds; enables synchronous capture of transient events in digital oscilloscopes or logic analyzers.
Input Noise Density	6nV/√Hz at 100kHz; maintains signal integrity in low-amplitude analog front-ends like RF envelope detectors.

Pinout & Package

MAX9013ESA-T is housed in an 8-pin SO (SOIC-N) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1	OUT	True TTL output; sinks 4mA at 0.6V max, sources 4mA at 2.4V min under 4.5V supply - directly drives 74LS logic or FPGA I/Os.
2	GND	Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane to minimize noise coupling into sensitive inputs.
3	IN+	Noninverting input; accepts signals down to −0.2V; requires matched trace length and impedance to IN− for optimal CMRR.
4	IN−	Inverting input; same voltage range as IN+; differential pair rejects common-mode noise up to 95dB (CMRR).
5	VCC	Positive supply pin; must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤2mm from pin to suppress high-frequency supply noise.
6	LE	Latch enable input; TTL-compatible; latches current output state when driven ≥2V; transparent when ≤0.8V.
7	OUTB	Complementary TTL output; inverted copy of OUT with matched propagation delay (Δt_PD± ≤3ns) - enables differential line driving or XOR-based edge detection.
8	N.C.	No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Stable linear-region operation	Eliminates need for external hysteresis, preserving 0.7mV input resolution and enabling reliable DC-to-200MHz signal squaring.
Complementary TTL outputs	Reduces component count in differential receivers or clock/data recovery circuits by removing external inverters.
Latch enable with nanosecond timing	Supports precise event capture in test equipment with t_SU = 2ns and t_H = 0.5ns - compatible with 500MHz+ digital control clocks.
Ground-referenced input range	Accepts signals 200mV below GND without phase reversal - simplifies interface to bipolar op-amps or bridge sensors.
Low quiescent current	1.3mA at +25°C enables use in always-on monitoring nodes where power budget is <5mW per channel.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed comparator applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
MAX913ESA	Legacy industry-standard part; 7ns propagation delay, 2.5mA supply current, no latch or complementary outputs.	Lacks LE pin and OUTB - requires external latch IC and inverter for same functionality.	Select MAX9013ESA-T when lower power, faster response, and integrated latch/complement are required.
LT1016CS8#PBF	Higher input offset (±1.5mV typ), 10ns propagation delay, no latch, single output, ±5V dual-supply only.	Requires dual supply and external level-shifting for 5V single-supply systems; unsuitable for ground-referenced inputs.	Choose MAX9013ESA-T for 4.5–5.5V single-supply operation with guaranteed −0.2V input capability and latch function.

Compared with MAX913ESA and LT1016CS8#PBF, the MAX9013ESA-T delivers 30% faster propagation, 48% lower supply current, integrated latch and complementary outputs, and true single-supply ground-referenced operation - making it the preferred choice for space- and power-constrained timing-critical designs.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX9013ESA-T?

The MAX9013ESA-T is specified and guaranteed over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. All electrical characteristics - including propagation delay, input offset voltage, and supply current - are tested and warranted across this full range, making MAX9013ESA-T suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor instrumentation.

Does the MAX9013ESA-T require external hysteresis for stable operation?

No, the MAX9013ESA-T does not require external hysteresis. Its unique bipolar architecture ensures stable behavior even when inputs reside in the linear region - eliminating oscillation and preserving resolution. Adding hysteresis would degrade the ±5.5mV input offset performance and reduce effective bandwidth, so MAX9013ESA-T is designed to operate optimally without it.

Can the MAX9013ESA-T accept input voltages below ground?

Yes, the MAX9013ESA-T supports common-mode input voltages down to −0.2V (200mV below ground) with no output phase reversal. This allows direct interfacing with signals from op-amps, transducers, or other circuits that swing slightly negative relative to system ground - a capability confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables for MAX9013ESA-T.

What is the purpose of the N.C. pin (Pin 8) on the MAX9013ESA-T?

Pin 8 of the MAX9013ESA-T is a no-connect terminal with no internal connection. The datasheet recommends tying Pin 8 to ground to improve mechanical stability during reflow soldering and reduce potential EMI coupling through floating metal. Leaving Pin 8 unconnected does not affect MAX9013ESA-T functionality but may compromise long-term board-level reliability in high-noise environments.

How does the latch enable (LE) function work on the MAX9013ESA-T?

When LE is held low (≤0.8V), the MAX9013ESA-T operates transparently: OUT and OUTB respond immediately to input differential voltage changes. When LE is driven high (≥2V), the current output state is latched and held regardless of subsequent input transitions. This behavior is validated in the Timing Diagram (Figure 1) and Electrical Characteristics table, where t_SU = 2ns and t_H = 0.5ns define the LE timing window for reliable capture in the MAX9013ESA-T.
