Product details
Overview
MAX9142ESA+T from Analog Devices is a dual high-speed rail-to-rail input comparator optimized for 3V/5V single-supply systems, delivering 40ns propagation delay, 150μA per comparator supply current, and ±0.2V beyond-rail input common-mode range. It interfaces directly to CMOS/TTL logic in line receivers and threshold detectors without external pullups.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9142ESA+T datasheet, MAX9142ESA+T pinout, MAX9142ESA+T application, or MAX9142ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay skew (≤2ns), input offset voltage (≤2.0mV), rail-to-rail output swing (within 300mV of rails), and SO-8 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX9142ESA+T implements a bipolar process-based comparator core with fixed 1.5mV internal hysteresis to suppress oscillation during slow input transitions. Its input stage includes back-to-back diodes and 4.1kΩ series resistors for ±20mA fault tolerance on IN+/IN− pins.
The output stage uses current-driven architecture enabling rapid slew rate during transitions and reduced static current at VOH/VOL states. Propagation delay is specified at 10mV overdrive with differential skew ≤2ns between channels, confirming matched timing performance for dual-channel applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 40ns at 10mV overdrive - enables reliable sampling of ≥20MHz signals in zero-crossing or clock-recovery circuits |
| Supply Current | 150μA per comparator at 3V - supports battery-powered operation with >1-year runtime in low-duty-cycle sensing nodes |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2.0mV max over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable threshold detection across industrial temperature range |
| Input Common-Mode Range | -0.2V to VCC + 0.2V - accepts inputs beyond supply rails, simplifying level-shifting in mixed-voltage interfaces |
| Output Voltage Swing | VOL = 0.425V / VOH = VCC - 0.425V at 4mA - guarantees TTL/CMOS logic compatibility without external biasing |
| Input Hysteresis | 1.5mV - eliminates chatter on noisy or slowly varying inputs without external feedback components |
| Power Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to Li-ion (3.3V/3.6V) and legacy 5V logic rails |
Pinout & Package
MAX9142ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with 150mil body width and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Comparator A open-drain compatible output - sinks current to GND; pulls within 300mV of VCC/GND rails |
| 2 | INA− | Comparator A inverting input - accepts voltages from -0.2V to VCC + 0.2V; protected against ±20mA faults |
| 3 | INA+ | Comparator A noninverting input - identical voltage range and protection as INA− |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane for noise immunity |
| 5 | INB+ | Comparator B noninverting input - electrically isolated from INA±; supports independent signal conditioning |
| 6 | INB− | Comparator B inverting input - matched offset and hysteresis to INA± for consistent dual-channel behavior |
| 7 | OUTB | Comparator B output - independent switching; no crosstalk with OUTA (propagation skew ≤2ns) |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1μF ceramic) required adjacent to pin for stable high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input range | Operates with inputs extended 0.2V beyond VCC/GND - eliminates need for external level shifters in multi-supply systems |
| Internal 1.5mV hysteresis | Prevents false triggering on EMI or slow edges - removes requirement for external positive-feedback resistors |
| CMOS/TTL-compatible outputs | Drives standard logic families directly - avoids buffer ICs and reduces BOM count in interface circuits |
| Dual-channel matching | ≤2ns propagation delay skew between comparators - enables precise time-difference measurements in differential sensing |
| Robust input protection | Withstands continuous short-circuit to either rail - enhances reliability in field-deployed equipment with unshielded inputs |
