It integrates four independent comparator channels with rail-to-rail CMOS, open-drain, and TTL-compatible outputs, giving the designer flexibility to interface to logic families from 2.5 V to 5.5 V without extra level shifting. Each channel delivers a 210 ns typical propagation delay, which is fast enough for threshold detection, zero-crossing, and window-comparator circuits in industrial control loops and power-supply monitoring. The 96 µA maximum quiescent current across all four channels makes it a strong candidate for battery-powered instrumentation and field-transmitter designs where every microamp counts. ## 210 ns propagation delay — timing margin for the bus The 210 ns propagation delay is the time from the input crossing the threshold to the output switching. ## Supply range and output flexibility The part operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply, or split supplies of ±1.25 V to ±2.75 V. ## Temperature range and environment Rated for -40°C to 85°C, the MAX996ESD+ is specified for industrial environments: factory-floor PLC I/O modules, outdoor telecom cabinets, engine-bay sensor interfaces, and motor-drive control boards. The 80 dB typical CMRR and PSRR provide reasonable rejection of common-mode noise and supply ripple in these electrically noisy settings. The 14-SOIC package is a standard footprint that fits existing PCB layouts for quad comparators from other vendors. ## Sourcing and lifecycle The MAX996ESD+ carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no LTB notice or obsolescence risk on this line. For dual-sourcing resilience, the MAX996ESD (without the + suffix) is the same die in the same package; the + denotes ROHS3 compliance, so the MAX996ESD+ is the preferred ordering code for new lead-free builds.","metaTitle":"MAX996ESD+ Quad Comparator, 210ns, 96µA, 14-SOIC","metaDescription":"Maxim MAX996ESD+ general-purpose quad comparator. 210ns propagation delay, 96µA quiescent current, rail-to-rail outputs.
