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 MAX9690 is an ultra-fast ECL comparator manufactured with a high-frequency bipolar process (f_T = 6GHz) capable of very short propagation delays. This design maintains the excellent DC matching characteristics normally found only in slower comparators. The MAX9690 issimilar 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 50½ terminated transmission lines. The ultra-fast operation makes signal processing possible at frequencies in excess of 600MHz.
