MAX912EPE+ (MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS)

The MAX912EPE+ is a dual, ultra-fast, low power, precision TTL comparator in 16 pin DIP package. It has a unique design that prevents oscillation when comparator is in its linear region. This high speed comparator can be powered from a single +5V supply or a ±5V split supply. Fast propagation delay of 10ns, extremely low supply current and a wide common mode input range that includes the negative rail make MAX912 ideal for low power, high speed, single +5V (or ±5V) applications such as V/F converters or switching regulators. The outputs remain stable through the linear region and this eliminates output instability common to high speed comparators when driven with slow moving input signal. It is an improved plug-in replacement for the LT1016. It is typically used in zero crossing detectors, Ethernet line receivers, switching regulators, high speed sampling circuits, high speed triggers, extended range V/F converters and fast pulse width/height discriminators.
