Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX961-MAX964 are low-power, ultra-high-speed comparators with internal hysteresis. These devices are optimized for single +3V or +5V operation. The input common-mode range extends 100mV Beyond-the-Rails™, and the outputs can sink or source 4mA to within 0.52V of GND and VCC. Propagation delay of MAX961-MAX964 is 4.5ns (5mV overdrive), while supply current is 5mA per comparator.

The MAX961/MAX963/MAX964 and MAX997 have a shutdown mode in which they consume only 270A supply current per comparator. The MAX961/MAX963 provide complementary outputs and a latch-enable feature.

Latch enable allows the user to hold a valid comparator output. The MAX999 is available in a tiny SOT23-5 package. The single MAX961/MAX997 and dual MAX962 are available in space-saving 8-pin MAX® packages
