Ultra-Fast Precision TTL Comparator

The Maxim MXL1016 (10ns, typ) high-speed, complementary-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.
