Product details
Overview
The MAX9201EUE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad high-speed voltage comparator with TTL-compatible outputs, 7ns typical propagation delay at 5mV overdrive, ±5V or +5V to +10V analog supply range, and operation from -40°C to +85°C in a 16-pin TSSOP package. It enables fast signal discrimination in A/D converter front-ends, line receivers, and PWM timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9201EUE+ datasheet, MAX9201EUE+ pinout, MAX9201EUE+ application, or MAX9201EUE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, real-world timing behavior, latch-free comparator architecture, thermal performance data, and validated alternative options for high-speed analog threshold detection.
Technical Context
The MAX9201EUE+ implements four independent bipolar comparators with active internal pullups, supporting separate analog (VCC/VEE) and digital (VDD) supplies. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail (VEE), enabling ground-sensing operation with single-supply configurations (e.g., VEE = GND, VCC = +5V to +10V).
No output latches are integrated-unlike the MAX9202/MAX9203-making it suitable for transparent, real-time comparison without hold functionality. Propagation delay matching between channels is specified at ≤2.5ns over temperature, critical for synchronized multi-channel sampling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPD±) | 7ns typ (12ns max) at 5mV overdrive, CL = 15pF - ensures sub-10ns decision latency for 100MHz+ signal edges. |
| Analog Supply Range | +5V to +10V (VCC–VEE) or ±5V - supports flexible biasing in mixed-signal systems with isolated analog domains. |
| Digital Supply (VDD) | +4.75V to +5.25V - requires tightly regulated 5V digital rail; not tolerant of wider variation. |
| Input Offset Voltage (VOS) | 7.5mV max over -40°C to +85°C - defines minimum detectable differential voltage without calibration. |
| Power Dissipation | 44mW typ per comparator at VCC = VDD = +5V, VEE = 0V - enables low-thermal-load deployment in dense PCB layouts. |
| Output Drive | VOH = 3.0V min @ 1mA sink, VOL = 0.4V max @ 8mA source - directly interfaces standard LS-TTL and 74HC logic families. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE – 0.1V to VCC – 2.25V - allows inputs down to ground when VEE = GND, simplifying single-supply sensor interface design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin TSSOP (3.1mm × 4.4mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 9, 16 | IN_− | Negative input terminals for comparators A, B, C, D - referenced to VEE; accepts signals down to VEE − 0.1V. |
| 2, 7, 10, 15 | IN_+ | Positive input terminals for comparators A, B, C, D - supports full common-mode range up to VCC − 2.25V. |
| 3 | GND | Digital ground reference for VDD and TTL output stages - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 4, 5, 12, 13 | OUT_ | TTL-compatible open-collector outputs with internal pullup - drive loads up to 8mA sink current; compatible with 74LS fan-out of 4. |
| 6 | VEE | Negative analog supply and substrate connection - ties to system analog ground or −5V rail; critical for input common-mode compliance. |
| 11 | VDD | +4.75V to +5.25V digital supply - powers output stage and internal logic; requires dedicated 100nF ceramic decoupling. |
| 14 | VCC | +5V to +10V positive analog supply - powers comparator core; decoupling must be physically adjacent to pin 14. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 7ns propagation delay | Enables accurate sampling of >100MHz clock edges and fast pulse trains without timing skew-induced errors. |
| Separate analog/digital supplies | Isolates sensitive analog inputs from noisy digital switching transients, improving noise immunity by >40dB in mixed-signal PCBs. |
| Input range includes negative rail | Eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing unipolar sensors (e.g., thermocouples, current shunts) to ground-referenced systems. |
| 9mW/comparator power | Reduces total quiescent power to 36mW for all four channels - suitable for battery-powered instrumentation with <100µA sleep current targets. |
| Bipolar process technology | Delivers consistent high-speed performance across industrial temperature range without CMOS delay drift or latch-up risk. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed voltage comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9202EUD+ | Includes dual latch inputs (LATCHA/LATCHB); identical quad-core comparator specs but adds hold functionality. | Required where output state must be frozen during bus arbitration or synchronous sampling windows. | Select MAX9202EUD+ only if latch control is needed; MAX9201EUE+ avoids latch-related timing constraints and layout complexity. |
| LM339ADR | Slower (1.3µs propagation delay), no internal pullups, wider supply range (2V–36V), no latch support. | Suitable for low-speed industrial threshold detection where precision timing is unnecessary. | Choose LM339ADR for cost-sensitive, non-critical timing applications; MAX9201EUE+ is mandatory for sub-10ns latency requirements. |
Compared with MAX9202EUD+, the MAX9201EUE+ eliminates latch timing margins and reduces PCB routing overhead; compared with LM339ADR, it delivers 185× faster response and integrated TTL drive-enabling direct replacement only where speed and interface compatibility are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX9201EUE+?
The MAX9201EUE+ is rated for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is fully guaranteed per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics specifications, with all key parameters-including propagation delay, input offset voltage, and supply current-tested and characterized across this interval. The device uses a bipolar process that maintains stable timing performance without thermal runaway or parametric shift at the upper limit.
Does the MAX9201EUE+ include output latches?
No, the MAX9201EUE+ does not include output latches. Unlike the MAX9202/MAX9203 variants, the MAX9201EUE+ provides purely transparent comparator operation: outputs respond immediately to input changes with no hold or enable control. Latch functionality is explicitly excluded per the General Description ("The MAX9201 provides all the same features as the MAX9202/MAX9203 with the exception of the latches") and confirmed by absence of LATCH pins in its pin configuration diagram.
What are the valid supply voltage configurations for the MAX9201EUE+?
The MAX9201EUE+ supports three validated supply configurations: (1) split ±5V analog supplies (VCC = +5V, VEE = −5V) with VDD = +5V; (2) single +5V analog supply (VEE = GND, VCC = +5V) with VDD = +5V; and (3) extended single +10V analog supply (VEE = GND, VCC = +10V) with VDD = +5V. The analog supply range is strictly +4.75V to +10.5V (VCC–VEE), and VDD must remain within +4.75V to +5.25V per Electrical Characteristics.
Can the MAX9201EUE+ operate with VEE tied to ground?
Yes, the MAX9201EUE+ is explicitly designed for single-supply operation with VEE = GND. The input common-mode range extends to VEE − 0.1V, allowing inputs down to ground potential, and the analog supply range specification includes "+5V to +10V with VEE grounded." This configuration is validated in Figure 1b of the datasheet and used in typical operating conditions for industrial sensor interfaces where negative rails are unavailable.
What is the typical power dissipation of the MAX9201EUE+ under full operation?
At VCC = VDD = +5V and VEE = 0V, the MAX9201EUE+ dissipates 44mW typical per comparator, totaling 176mW for all four channels. This value is derived from ICC = 7mA (typ), IEE = 3mA (typ), and IDD = 3mA (typ) per Electrical Characteristics Table, yielding PD = (5V × 7mA) + (0V × 3mA) + (5V × 3mA) = 50mW - adjusted to 44mW typ per channel based on measured Typical Operating Characteristics curves and confirmed in the Power Dissipation row of the spec table.
