General Description

The MAX9140/MAX9141 are single and the MAX9142/

MAX9144 are dual/quad high-speed comparators opti-

mized for systems powered from a 3V or 5V supply. The

MAX9141 features latch enable and device shutdown.

These devices combine high speed, low power, and

supply current is only 150µA per comparator.

The input common-mode range of the MAX9140/

MAX9141/MAX9142/MAX9144 extends beyond both

power-supply rails. The outputs pull to within 0.3V of

either supply rail without external pullup circuitry, mak-

ing these devices ideal for interface with both CMOS

and TTL logic. All input and output pins can tolerate a

continuous short-circuit fault condition to either rail.

Internal hysteresis ensures clean output switching, even

with slow-moving input signals.

The MAX9140/MAX9141/MAX9142/MAX9144 are high-

er-speed, lower-power, and lower-cost upgrades to

industry-standard comparators MAX941/MAX942/

MAX944.

The MAX9140 are offered in tiny 5-pin SC70 and SOT23

packages. The MAX9141 and MAX9142 are available in

8-pin SOT23 and SO packages, while the MAX9144 is

available in both 14-pin SO and TSSOP packages.
