Product details
Overview
MAX902ESD from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, low-power quad voltage comparator with differential analog inputs, TTL-compatible outputs, independent latch inputs per channel, and operation over –40°C to +85°C. It delivers 8ns typical propagation delay at 5mV overdrive, consumes 18mW per comparator at +5V, supports split (±5V) or single (+5V to +10V) analog supplies, and features rail-to-rail input common-mode range including the negative rail - used in high-speed A/D converters, line receivers, and PWM circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX902ESD datasheet, MAX902ESD pinout, MAX902ESD application, or MAX902ESD equivalent, key selection criteria include latch-enabled output hold capability, dual-supply isolation (analog VCC/VEE + digital VDD), TTL-level timing compatibility, and thermal stability across industrial temperature range - critical for precision sampling and real-time threshold detection.
Technical Context
The MAX902ESD implements four independent high-gain comparators with separate analog (VCC/VEE) and digital (VDD) supply domains, enabling noise-isolated mixed-signal operation. Each channel includes a dedicated TTL-compatible latch input that freezes output state on logic-low assertion, with guaranteed setup/hold times of 2ns and 1ns respectively.
Its input stage accepts common-mode voltages from VEE − 0.1V to VCC − 2.25V, supporting ground-sensing in single-supply configurations. Propagation delay symmetry (Δtpd ≤ 2ns max between channels) and 5mV overdrive test condition ensure consistent timing behavior across all four comparators under defined load (CL = 15pF, IO = 2mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 8ns typ (5mV overdrive, CL = 15pF) - enables sub-125MHz sampling decision cycles |
| Power Dissipation | 18mW per comparator at +5V - allows dense quad-channel integration without thermal derating |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE − 0.1V to VCC − 2.25V - supports ground-referenced sensing with single +5V analog supply |
| Supply Flexibility | Analog: +5V to +10V (VEE = GND) or ±5V; Digital: fixed +5V VDD - decouples analog integrity from digital switching noise |
| Output Compatibility | TTL-logic outputs with active internal pull-ups - drives standard LS-TTL loads (fan-out of 4) without external resistors |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1mV min / 3mV max (full temp range) - ensures <10mV total error budget in 12-bit-equivalent threshold applications |
| Latch Timing | ts = 2ns, th = 1ns, tpw(D) = 10ns - supports synchronous capture of fast transient events with minimal setup overhead |
Pinout & Package
Narrow SO-14 package (14-pin small-outline integrated circuit), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN− (A, B, C, D) | Negative input terminals for each of four independent comparator channels |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | IN+ (A, B, C, D) | Positive input terminals for each comparator channel - differential pair defines decision threshold |
| 3 | GND | Digital ground reference shared by latch and output stages; isolated from analog substrate (VEE) |
| 4, 5, 12, 13 | OUT (A, B, C, D) | TTL-compatible open-collector outputs with internal pull-ups - sink up to 8mA, source limited by pull-up |
| 6 | VEE | Negative analog supply and substrate connection - must be tied to lowest system potential for proper biasing |
| 11 | VDD | +5V digital supply for latch logic and output drivers - independent of analog domain |
| 14 | VCC | Positive analog supply (range +5V to +10V or ±5V) - powers input differential pairs and analog core |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent latched comparators | Four fully isolated channels each with dedicated latch input - enables parallel event capture and hold without cross-talk |
| Rail-inclusive input range | Inputs operate down to VEE − 0.1V - eliminates need for level-shifting when monitoring signals referenced to system ground |
| Split-supply architecture | Separate VCC/VEE (analog) and VDD (digital) pins - prevents digital switching noise from modulating analog threshold accuracy |
| TTL-compatible timing | 8ns propagation delay with 2ns setup/1ns hold for latch control - aligns with standard TTL system clocks and control buses |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for deployment in motor drives, industrial PLC I/O, and outdoor sensor interfaces |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9202ESD | Pin-for-pin compatible, same speed (8ns), but 9mW/comparator - half the power of MAX902ESD | Lower thermal footprint in high-density layouts; identical latch and supply architecture | Select when power efficiency or board-level thermal management is prioritized over legacy design continuity |
| LM339MTX/NOPB | Quad comparator without latch inputs; 1.3µs propagation delay; rail-to-rail input; single-supply only | Suitable for non-critical, low-speed threshold detection where timing determinism and latch hold are not required | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-timing-critical applications where 8ns response and per-channel latching are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX902ESD, MAX9202ESD offers identical functionality at half the power, making it ideal for thermally constrained designs, while LM339MTX/NOPB trades speed and latch capability for cost and simplicity in static monitoring roles.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX902ESD?
The MAX902ESD is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, qualifying it for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. This rating is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and applies to the E-grade version in Narrow SO-14 packaging. All electrical characteristics - including propagation delay, input offset voltage, and latch timing - are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the MAX902ESD support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX902ESD supports true single-supply operation: VEE can be tied to ground while VCC operates from +5V to +10V, and VDD remains at +5V. Its input common-mode range extends to VEE − 0.1V, enabling ground-referenced signal detection without level-shifting circuitry - a key feature verified in the Electrical Characteristics tables and Applications Information section.
How many latch inputs does the MAX902ESD have, and what is their function?
The MAX902ESD has four independent TTL-compatible latch inputs (pins 4, 5, 12, 13), one per comparator channel. When driven low, each latch freezes its corresponding output state; when high, the comparator operates transparently. Setup time is 2ns and hold time is 1ns - values explicitly specified in the Timing Characteristics table for full temperature range.
What is the maximum load capacitance the MAX902ESD can drive while maintaining 8ns propagation delay?
The 8ns typical propagation delay is characterized at CL = 15pF, as stated in the Timing Characteristics table. Response time increases with load capacitance - Figure MAX900-03 toc08 shows tpd+ rising from ~8ns at 15pF to ~14ns at 70pF. For designs requiring guaranteed 8ns performance, keep total node capacitance ≤15pF using short traces and minimal stubs.
Is the MAX902ESD pin-compatible with other members of the MAX900–MAX903 family?
No - the MAX902ESD uses a 14-pin Narrow SO package with unique pinout (e.g., VEE on pin 6, VDD on pin 11, no N.C. pins), differing from the 16-pin MAX901 and 20-pin MAX900. Pin compatibility exists only within same-part variants (e.g., MAX902CPD and MAX902ESD share identical pin functions), not across family members. This is confirmed in the Pin Configurations section and ordering table.
