♦ 120ns Propagation Delay
The MAX987/MAX988/MAX991/MAX992/MAX995/
MAX996 single/dual/quad micropower comparators
♦ 48µA Quiescent Supply Current

feature low-voltage operation and Rail-to-Rail inputs
and outputs. Their operating voltage ranges from +2.5V
to +5.5V, making them ideal for both 3V and 5V sys-
tems. These comparators also operate with ±1.25V to
±2.75V dual supplies. They consume only 48µA per
comparator while achieving a 120ns propagation delay.
♦ +2.5V to +5.5V Single-Supply Operation
♦ Common-Mode Input Voltage Range Extends
250mV Beyond the Rails
♦ Push/Pull Output Stage Sinks and Sources
The common-mode input voltage range extends 250mV
beyond the supply rails. Input bias current is typically
1.0p A, a nd inp ut offs e t volta g e is typ ic a lly 0.5mV.

♦ Open-Drain Output Voltage Extends Beyond V
CC
(MAX988/MAX992/MAX996)
♦ Unique Output Stage Reduces Output Switching
The output stage’s unique design limits supply-current
surges while switching, virtually eliminating the supply
glitches typical of many other comparators. This design
a ls o minimize s ove ra ll p owe r c ons ump tion und e r
dynamic conditions. The MAX987/MAX991/MAX995
have a push/pull output stage that sinks as well as
sources current. Large internal output drivers allow rail-
to-ra il outp ut s wing with loa d s up to 8mA. The
MAX988/MAX992/MAX996 have an open-drain output
Current, Minimizing Overall Power Consumption
