Product details
Overview
The MAX999EUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a single ultra-high-speed comparator with internal hysteresis, optimized for +3V/+5V single-supply operation. It delivers 4.5ns propagation delay (5mV overdrive), 3.5mV input-referred hysteresis, and Beyond-the-Rails™ input range extending ±100mV beyond VCC/GND - enabling precise threshold detection in GPS receivers and high-speed sampling circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX999EUK+T datasheet, MAX999EUK+T pinout, MAX999EUK+T application, or MAX999EUK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay vs. overdrive, rail-to-rail input capability, output drive strength (4mA sink/source to within 0.52V of rails), supply current (6.5mA typical at 5V), and SOT23-5 thermal performance (312.6mW at +70°C).
Technical Context
This comparator uses a current-driven output stage enabling fast slew rates and low static power after transition. Its input stage incorporates dual 200Ω resistors and front-to-back diode clamps to protect against differential overvoltage while maintaining 100mV Beyond-the-Rails common-mode range.
No shutdown or latch functionality is implemented in the MAX999EUK+T variant - unlike MAX961/MAX963/MAX997 - and it lacks complementary outputs or logic-enable inputs, confirming its role as a minimal-footprint, high-speed decision element without control logic overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 4.5ns typical at 5mV overdrive - enables sub-5ns timing decisions in high-speed data acquisition. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.1V to VCC + 0.1V - allows input signals to exceed supply rails by 100mV, critical for sensor interfacing. |
| Output Drive Strength | 4mA sink/source to within 0.52V of GND/VCC - eliminates need for external pull-ups in TTL/CMOS loads. |
| Supply Current | 6.5mA typical at VCC = 5V - balances speed and power for portable/battery-powered systems. |
| Input-Referred Hysteresis | 3.5mV fixed - prevents oscillation near trip points without external resistor networks. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX999EUK+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+2), with 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output stage return path. |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input terminal - accepts signals up to 100mV beyond GND or VCC. |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input terminal - same rail-exceeding capability as IN−; differential pair input node. |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply input - must be ≤5.5V; powers internal bias and output stage. |
| 5 | Q | TTL/CMOS-compatible open-drain–like output - sinks or sources 4mA, swings to within 0.52V of either rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast propagation | 4.5ns typical delay ensures timing-critical decisions in <5ns windows (e.g., clock recovery, pulse width discrimination). |
| Beyond-the-Rails input | ±100mV input range beyond supply rails enables direct connection to sensors or signals not referenced to system ground. |
| Internal hysteresis | 3.5mV fixed hysteresis eliminates need for external feedback resistors and prevents chatter near threshold crossings. |
| Rail-swing output | Output drives to within 0.52V of GND/VCC without external components - simplifies interface with 3.3V/5V logic families. |
| Low-voltage compatibility | Operates down to 2.7V supply - supports battery-powered designs with declining voltage profiles (e.g., Li-ion discharge). |
Applications
| GPS Receivers | High-Speed Sampling Circuits |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting zero-crossings and timing edges in L1-band RF baseband signals prior to ADC sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed comparator generating clean digital timing strobes synchronized to analog signal transitions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH7220MK/NOPB | 4.5ns delay, but requires external hysteresis; no Beyond-the-Rails input (0V to VCC only); 5-pin SOT23 package. | Lacks rail-exceeding input capability - unsuitable for sensor signals referenced outside supply domain. | Select when hysteresis is programmable and input range is constrained to supply rails. |
| ADCMP600BRJZ-REEL7 | 4.5ns delay, 3.5mV hysteresis, rail-to-rail input (but not Beyond-the-Rails); 5-pin SOT23; 5.5mA supply current. | No ±100mV input extension - cannot accept signals below GND or above VCC without clamping risk. | Choose when strict rail-to-rail (not Beyond-the-Rails) operation suffices and footprint compatibility is required. |
Compared with LMH7220MK/NOPB and ADCMP600BRJZ-REEL7, the MAX999EUK+T uniquely combines guaranteed Beyond-the-Rails input range, fixed internal hysteresis, and sub-5ns delay in a 5-pin SOT23 - making it the only option among the three that supports true over-rail sensing without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the MAX999EUK+T?
The MAX999EUK+T has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC to GND) of +6V, but its operational range is specified from 2.7V to 5.5V. Operating above 5.5V risks violating electrical specifications and may cause permanent damage. The device is characterized and guaranteed across this 2.7V–5.5V window, with optimal performance at 3V and 5V nominal supplies. Always observe the 6V absolute max limit during transient conditions.
Does the MAX999EUK+T support shutdown mode?
No, the MAX999EUK+T does not include a shutdown function. Unlike the MAX961, MAX963, MAX964, or MAX997 variants - which feature a SHDN pin and reduce supply current to 270μA in shutdown - the MAX999EUK+T operates continuously at 6.5mA typical (5V). This reflects its design as a minimal-feature, high-speed comparator optimized for simplicity and speed rather than power gating.
What is the input offset voltage specification for the MAX999EUK+T?
The MAX999EUK+T has a typical input offset voltage (VOS) of ±1.5mV, with a maximum of ±4.5mV over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is measured at VCC = 5V with common-mode voltage at –0.1V or 5.1V. The low offset contributes directly to accurate threshold detection, especially when paired with its 3.5mV internal hysteresis to suppress noise-induced switching.
Can the MAX999EUK+T accept input signals below ground or above VCC?
Yes - the MAX999EUK+T supports a Beyond-the-Rails™ input common-mode range of –0.1V to VCC + 0.1V. This means either input (IN+ or IN−) can safely operate 100mV below GND or 100mV above VCC without causing false output inversion or damage, provided the other input remains within the valid range. This capability is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Is the MAX999EUK+T pin-compatible with other comparators in the MAX961–MAX999 family?
No - the MAX999EUK+T is not pin-compatible with other members of the family. While it shares the 5-pin SOT23 package with no unused pins, its pinout (GND, IN−, IN+, VCC, Q) differs fundamentally from variants like the MAX961 (which includes SHDN and LE pins) or MAX997 (which adds SHDN). The MAX999EUK+T has no shutdown or latch-enable functionality, and its pin assignments are unique to this single-comparator, no-frills variant.
