MAX9690

19-2401; Rev 3; 3/97 Ultra-Fast ECL-Output Comparator _______________General Description The MAX9690 is an ultra-fast ECL comparator manufactured with a high-frequency bipolar process (fT = 6GHz) capable of very short propagation delays. This design maintains the excellent DC matching characteristics normally found only in slower comparators. The MAX9690 is similar in function to the MAX9685, except the latchenable input is eliminated. The MAX9690 is pin-compatible with the CMP-08 but exceeds the AC characteristics of that device. The MAX9690 has differential inputs and complementary outputs that are fully compatible with ECL-logic levels. Output current levels are capable of driving 50Ω terminated transmission lines. The ultra-fast operation makes signal processing possible at frequencies in excess of 600MHz. ____________________________Features o 1.3ns Propagation Delay o +5V, -5.2V Power Supplies o Pin-Compatible with CMP-08 o Available in Commercial, Extended-Industrial, and Military Temperature Ranges o Available in Small-Outline Package MAX9690 ______________Ordering Information PART MAX9690CPA-4 MAX9690CSA MAX9690CJA MAX9690EPA MAX9690ESA MAX9690MJA-4 TEMP.
