CT is the prototyping slice. Both are ROHS3 compliant. A general-purpose comparator (Type: General Purpose) — no internal reference, no hysteresis adjustment pin. The ±3mV hysteresis is built in to prevent output chatter near the threshold. Single-element device — one comparator per package. For multi-channel window detection or multi-level thresholding, you need one package per channel. Suitable for outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor sensor interfaces, and engine-bay electronics that see under-hood temperatures.","metaTitle":"MAX986EXK+T Analog Devices General Purpose Comparator","metaDescription":"MAX986EXK+T general purpose comparator from Analog Devices. 450ns propagation delay, 24µA quiescent current, SC-70-5 package.

This is the time from when the input crosses the threshold to when the output switches. For a 100 kHz signal, that is 4.5% of the period — the output lags by nearly half a cycle, which can cause timing errors in a fast control loop. For slower signals like a 1 kHz sensor edge, the delay is negligible."},{"question":"What supply voltage does MAX986EXK+T need?","answer":"Single supply 2.5V to 5.5V, or split ±1.25V to ±2.75V."},{"question":"Is MAX986EXK+T RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, ROHS3 compliant per the manufacturer's listing.
