_______________Ge n e ra l De s c rip t io n
The MAX9687 is a d ua l, ultra -fa s t ECL c omp a ra tor
manufactured with a high-frequency bipolar process

♦ 1.4ns Propagation Delay
(f = 6GHz) capable of very short propagation delays.
T
♦ 0.5ns Latch Setup Time
This design maintains the excellent DC matching char-
acteristics normally found only in slower comparators.
♦ 2.0ns Latch-Enable Pulse Width
♦ +5V, -5.2V Power Supplies
The MAX9687 is pin-compatible with the AD9687 and
Am6687, but exceeds their AC characteristics.
♦ Pin-Compatible with AD9687, Am6687, SP9687
The MAX9687 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.
♦ Available in Commercial, Extended-Industrial,
and Military Temperature Ranges
♦ Available in Narrow SO Package
A latch-enable (LE) function is provided to allow the
comparator to be used in a sample/hold or track/hold
mode. The latch-enable inputs are designed to be dri-
