Product details
Overview
The MAX999EUK/GG8 from Maxim Integrated is a single ultra-high-speed comparator with internal 3.5mV hysteresis, optimized for +3V/+5V single-supply operation, featuring 4.5ns propagation delay (5mV overdrive), Beyond-the-Rails™ input range (–0.1V to VCC+0.1V), and TTL/CMOS-compatible push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking 4mA within 0.52V of rails - used in GPS receivers and high-speed sampling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX999EUK/GG8 datasheet, MAX999EUK/GG8 pinout, MAX999EUK/GG8 application, or MAX999EUK/GG8 equivalent, key selection considerations include propagation delay vs. overdrive, input-referred hysteresis stability across temperature, rail-to-rail input capability at low supply voltages, and SOT23-5 package constraints for portable system layout.
Technical Context
This comparator uses a current-driven output stage enabling rapid slew rates while maintaining low static output current; its internal hysteresis eliminates external feedback resistors and prevents oscillation near trip points. The input stage incorporates dual 200Ω series resistors and back-to-back diode clamps to limit differential input voltage to ≤2.1V and protect against ±20mA transient currents.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with guaranteed 4.5ns propagation delay at 5mV overdrive, 5mA supply current per comparator at VCC = 5V, and input offset voltage of ±0.5mV (typ) - all specified under production-tested conditions at +25°C with full temperature range coverage by design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 4.5ns (typ) at 5mV overdrive - enables sub-5ns timing resolution in high-speed threshold detection |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into 3V and 5V logic domains without level shifting |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.1V to VCC + 0.1V - allows inputs below GND or above VCC, critical for sensor interfacing |
| Output Drive Capability | Sinks/sources 4mA to within 0.52V of GND/VCC - drives CMOS/TTL loads directly without pull-up resistors |
| Internal Hysteresis | 3.5mV (typ) - ensures clean switching without external components in noisy signal environments |
| Supply Current | 5mA per comparator at VCC = 5V - balances speed and power for battery-sensitive applications |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV (typ), ±4.5mV (max) - defines minimum detectable differential voltage at room temperature |
Pinout & Package
The MAX999EUK/GG8 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+1), with 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout best practice |
| 2 | Inverting Input (IN–) | Differential input node accepting signals up to 100mV beyond rails |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (IN+) | Differential input node with identical rail-exceeding capability as IN– |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; requires low-inductance plane connection |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply input (2.7V–5.5V); must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast propagation delay | 4.5ns typ at 5mV overdrive - enables timing-critical zero-crossing and pulse-width detection |
| Beyond-the-Rails™ input range | –0.1V to VCC+0.1V - eliminates need for input biasing networks in single-supply systems |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible output | Push-pull structure sinking/source 4mA - interfaces directly with FPGA I/O, microcontroller GPIO, and logic gates |
| Fixed internal hysteresis | 3.5mV typ - removes external resistor network, reducing BOM count and board area |
| Low-voltage single-supply operation | 2.7V min supply - supports modern low-power SoC and battery-powered GPS front-ends |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH7322MA/NOPB | Higher supply current (12mA), no internal hysteresis, dual-channel, SO-8 package | Requires external hysteresis resistors; better suited for multi-channel parallel comparison | Select when dual outputs and higher drive strength outweigh SOT23 size and hysteresis convenience |
| ADCMP600BRJZ-REEL7 | 3.5ns propagation delay, 2.7V–5.5V supply, no internal hysteresis, SOT23-5 package | Lacks integrated hysteresis; requires external feedback network for noise immunity | Choose when absolute minimum delay is critical and board space allows hysteresis resistor placement |
Compared with LMH7322MA/NOPB and ADCMP600BRJZ-REEL7, the MAX999EUK/GG8 uniquely combines SOT23-5 footprint, built-in 3.5mV hysteresis, and 4.5ns delay - eliminating external components while maintaining compactness and noise resilience for single-channel portable designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX999EUK/GG8?
The MAX999EUK/GG8 is rated for –40°C to +85°C (E grade). This range is production-tested at +25°C, with full specification coverage guaranteed by design across the entire range. It does not support the extended –40°C to +125°C range offered by the MAX999AAUK variant.
Does the MAX999EUK/GG8 have shutdown or latch functionality?
No, the MAX999EUK/GG8 lacks both shutdown and latch-enable features. Unlike the MAX961/MAX963/MAX997, it has no SHDN or LE pins. Its pinout consists solely of IN–, IN+, GND, VCC, and NC - making it a dedicated high-speed comparator without power-saving or data-holding capabilities.
What is the input-referred hysteresis value for the MAX999EUK/GG8?
The MAX999EUK/GG8 provides a fixed internal hysteresis of 3.5mV (typical), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is consistent across temperature and supply voltage and eliminates the need for external hysteresis resistors in threshold-detection applications.
Can the MAX999EUK/GG8 operate from a 2.7V supply?
Yes, the MAX999EUK/GG8 supports supply voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V. At 2.7V, it maintains 4.5ns typical propagation delay and retains full Beyond-the-Rails input capability (–0.1V to 2.8V), making it suitable for modern low-voltage portable systems powered by single-cell Li-ion batteries.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX999EUK/GG8 output can drive while maintaining 4.5ns delay?
The MAX999EUK/GG8 is characterized with COUT = 5pF. Propagation delay increases with load capacitance - e.g., delay rises to ~6.5ns at 50pF (per typical curves). For sub-5ns timing integrity, keep total output node capacitance ≤10pF, including PCB trace and scope probe loading.
