MAX968ESA

The MAX968ESA is an integrated circuit (IC) component that offers a range of features making it suitable for various applications. It is a low-power and high-speed comparator manufactured by Maxim Integrated. This IC operates with a single power supply voltage from 2.2V to 5.5V, making it versatile for different system requirements. The MAX968ESA is known for its ultra-fast response time, with a propagation delay of only 20ns, allowing it to react swiftly to input changes. One key feature of this IC is its wide input voltage range, supporting inputs as low as -0.3V and as high as VCC + 0.3V. This makes the MAX968ESA ideal for applications dealing with varying input signal levels. Another essential feature is the rail-to-rail output swing, which allows the device to drive signals close to both the supply rails. This feature is particularly important in precision measurements and sensor interfacing applications. The MAX968ESA also provides a push-pull output stage, which enables efficient driving of capacitive loads. This allows the IC to work flawlessly in many high-speed signal processing circuits, where capacitive load handling is crucial. The device offers built-in ESD protection, guarding against electrostatic discharge up to 6kV on the human body model. This makes the MAX968ESA robust and reliable for handling in industrial environments
