Product details

Sourcing and lifecycle — no surprises here

The 7ns propagation delay is the headline number. It determines how fast the comparator can respond to an input overdrive — for a high-speed PWM current-sense loop or a clock-recovery circuit, that 7ns window sets the upper frequency limit before the comparator's delay eats into your timing budget. If your signal edges are slower than a few tens of nanoseconds, the delay is irrelevant; if you are switching at several megahertz, it is the spec that gates the design. Input offset voltage is 1.5mV max at 5V. Input bias current is 15µA max at 5V.

Frequently asked questions

What is the propagation delay of MAX997EUA+T?

The maximum propagation delay is 7ns. That is the time from when the input crosses the threshold to when the output switches — fast enough for multi-megahertz signal chains.

Is MAX997EUA+T pin-compatible with MAX997ESA+T?

The MAX997EUA+T comes in an 8-uMAX/uSOP package, while the MAX997ESA+T is in an 8-SOIC package. They are not pin-compatible — the footprint and pin spacing differ. Verify your board layout before substituting.

What are the alternatives to MAX997EUA+T?

Within Maxim's Beyond-the-Rails series, the MAX997ESA+T is the same comparator in an SOIC-8 package — electrically identical but a different footprint. For a faster option, look at the MAX999 series (4.5ns) in the same uMAX package. Both are active parts.

Is MAX997EUA+T RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant, meaning it meets the latest Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive with no exempted applications.
