19-2401; Rev 3; 3/97 Ultra-Fast ECL-Output ComparatorMAX9690_______________General Description____________________________Features The MAX9690 is an ultra-fast ECL comparator manufac- ♦ 1.3ns Propagation Delay tured with a high-frequency bipolar process (fT = 6GHz) capable of very short propagation delays. This design ♦ +5V, -5.2V Power Supplies maintains the excellent DC matching characteristics nor- mally found only in slower comparators. The MAX9690 is ♦ Pin-Compatible with CMP-08 similar in function to the MAX9685, except the latch- ♦ Available in Commercial, Extended-Industrial, enable input is eliminated. and Military Temperature Ranges The MAX9690 is pin-compatible with the CMP-08 but exceeds the AC characteristics of that device. ♦ Available in Small-Outline Package The MAX9690 has differential inputs and complemen- tary outputs that are fully compatible with ECL-logic lev- els. 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. ______________Ordering InformationPARTTEMP.
