Ultra-Fast Precision TTL Comparator
General Description
The Maxim MXL1016 (10ns, typ) high-speed, comple-
mentary-output comparator is designed specifically to
interface directly to TTL logic while operating from
either a dual ±5V supply or a single +5V supply.
The MXL1016 remains stable with the outputs in the
active region, which greatly reduces output instabillity
common with slow-moving input signals. In addition, an
output latch (LE) is provided.
For lower-power, higher-performance comparators, see
the MAX912/MAX913 dual/single comparators data
sheet. The MAX913 is an improved plug-in replacement
for the MXL1016 and the MAX912 is the dual equivalent
to the MAX913.
