9 ns comparator for 5 V signal chains
The Maxim Integrated MAX9012ESA+ is a dual, general-purpose comparator with TTL-compatible outputs in an 8-SOIC package. Its 9 ns propagation delay suits high-speed threshold detection and zero-crossing detectors.
Temperature range and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C, the MAX9012ESA+ fits industrial environments: outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor sensor modules, motor-drive control boards, and automotive cabin-zone electronics. The 8-SOIC package is a standard footprint that reflows easily and is widely supported in assembly houses. ROHS3 compliance means no exemptions for lead in solder — verify your assembly's RoHS tolerance if you are still running legacy SnPb profiles.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX9012ESA+ is listed as Active with no NRND or EOL notice. No LTB risk on the horizon for this device.
