Product details
Overview
The MAX913CSA-T from Maxim Integrated is a single, ultra-fast, low-power precision TTL comparator with differential inputs and complementary TTL outputs. It delivers 10ns typical propagation delay, ±5V or +5V single-supply operation, input range extending below the negative rail, and stable linear-region behavior-enabling high-resolution zero-crossing detection in switching regulators and V/F converters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX913CSA-T datasheet, MAX913CSA-T pinout, MAX913CSA-T application, or MAX913CSA-T equivalent, this device is selected for high-speed analog threshold comparison where low supply current (6mA per comparator), latch-enabled output hold, and no minimum input slew-rate requirement are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX913CSA-T employs a fully differential bipolar input stage with trimmed offset voltage (0.8mV typ) and wide common-mode input range (–0.2V to +3.5V on +5V supply). Its latch-enable function allows synchronous sampling of comparator state without external logic.
Unlike conventional high-speed comparators, it remains stable through the linear region-eliminating oscillation and enabling accurate resolution of slow-moving or low-amplitude signals without added hysteresis. This behavior is intrinsic to its internal architecture and verified across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 10ns typical at 100mV overdrive - enables ≥85MHz signal discrimination with 20mV overdrive. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +4.5V to +5.5V single supply or ±5V dual supply - supports industrial and telecom power rails. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.2V to +3.5V (single +5V) - accepts inputs below ground, simplifying level-shifting in mixed-rail systems. |
| Supply Current | 6mA per comparator at +5V - reduces thermal load and extends battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.8mV typical at +25°C - ensures sub-millivolt threshold accuracy without calibration. |
| Output Type | Complementary TTL - drives standard logic loads directly without pull-ups or level translators. |
| Latch Enable Function | TTL-compatible LE pin - holds Q/Q outputs transparently when low, latched when high or floating. |
Pinout & Package
MAX913CSA-T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 150-mil width, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC MS-012AC outline. Pin 1 is marked by bevelled corner or dot; pin count and orientation conform to industry-standard SOIC layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V+ | Positive supply input (+5V); powers analog and digital sections; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| 2 | IN+ | Noninverting input; accepts signals up to +3.5V on +5V supply, including below-ground levels. |
| 3 | IN− | Inverting input; differential pair with IN+; supports full common-mode range without saturation. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply (–5V or GND); powers only analog section; must be bypassed if used as split rail. |
| 5 | LE | Latch enable; TTL-high or open = latch mode; TTL-low = transparent mode; no external pull required. |
| 6 | GND | Logic ground reference; connects internally to substrate; must tie to system ground plane. |
| 7 | Q | TTL output (active-high); sinks 10mA / sources 4mA; compatible with 74LS/74F logic families. |
| 8 | Q̅ | Complementary TTL output (active-low); matches Q timing within 500ps skew; enables differential signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable linear-region operation | Eliminates need for external hysteresis, preserving full input resolution down to DC and low-frequency signals. |
| No minimum input slew-rate requirement | Valid output guaranteed even for triangle or sine-wave inputs with <1V/s slew rate, simplifying sensor interface design. |
| Wide input voltage range | Accepts inputs from –0.2V to +3.5V on +5V supply - supports direct connection to op-amp outputs or transducer bridges. |
| Low power consumption | 6mA supply current per comparator at +5V - enables multi-channel designs without thermal derating. |
| Complementary TTL outputs | Q and Q̅ provide matched rise/fall times and tight propagation delay matching (<500ps skew). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1016CN8#PBF | Slower propagation (25ns typ), higher supply current (8mA), narrower input range (–2.5V to +3.5V on +5V) | Lacks latch function; requires external flip-flop for sampled output | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/power requirements and latch is not needed. |
| ADCMP572BCPZ-REEL7 | Faster (3.5ns typ), ECL/PECL outputs, higher supply current (25mA), no latch, wider supply range (±5V to ±12V) | Requires level translation for TTL logic; optimized for RF/IF sampling, not general-purpose analog thresholding | Choose for >100MHz timing-critical applications where TTL compatibility is secondary to raw speed. |
Compared with LT1016CN8#PBF and ADCMP572BCPZ-REEL7, the MAX913CSA-T uniquely balances 10ns speed, 6mA power, latch functionality, and TTL output compatibility-making it optimal for embedded control, power management, and instrumentation where integration and supply efficiency matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency for the MAX913CSA-T in latch mode?
The MAX913CSA-T supports a maximum latch-enable (LE) signal rate of 70MHz at +25°C with 5mV input overdrive, rising to 85MHz with 20mV overdrive. This is determined by its 10ns propagation delay and internal latch timing parameters (tSU = 2ns, tH = 5ns, tLPD = 7ns). The MAX913CSA-T maintains deterministic output behavior across this range due to its stable linear-region operation.
Does the MAX913CSA-T require external hysteresis for noise immunity?
No-the MAX913CSA-T does not require external hysteresis. Its internal architecture eliminates oscillation in the linear region, allowing clean transitions even with slow-moving or low-slew-rate inputs. Adding hysteresis degrades resolution and is explicitly discouraged in the MAX913CSA-T datasheet. The MAX913CSA-T achieves inherent noise immunity via low input offset (0.8mV typ) and high CMRR (80dB min).
Can the MAX913CSA-T operate from a single +3.3V supply?
No-the MAX913CSA-T is specified for +4.5V to +5.5V single-supply operation or ±5V dual supplies. Operation below +4.5V is not characterized or guaranteed; output drive strength, propagation delay, and input common-mode range degrade outside this range. For +3.3V systems, consider the MAX9021 or MAX9030 series instead of the MAX913CSA-T.
What is the purpose of the complementary Q and Q̅ outputs on the MAX913CSA-T?
The complementary Q and Q̅ outputs on the MAX913CSA-T provide matched, low-skew (≤500ps) TTL-level signals for differential signaling, bus driving, or direct interfacing with flip-flops and logic gates. This eliminates the need for external inverters and ensures timing-critical applications-such as synchronous sampling or PWM generation-maintain precise edge alignment. Both outputs are fully specified across temperature and supply for the MAX913CSA-T.
How does the MAX913CSA-T handle input voltages exceeding the supply rails?
The MAX913CSA-T allows input voltages up to –0.3V below V− and +14V above V− (i.e., up to +3.5V on +5V supply), per absolute maximum ratings. Its input stage is designed to tolerate overvoltage without damage or latch-up, provided current is limited externally (e.g., with series resistors). This rail-to-rail input tolerance enables direct connection to sensors or op-amps whose outputs swing beyond the MAX913CSA-T's supply rails.
