MAX9973 Overview
Description
The MAX9973/MAX9974 fully integrated, high-performance, dual-channel pin electronics driver/comparator/load (DCL) with built-in level-setting digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are ideally suited for memory and SOC automatic test equipment (ATE) applications. Each channel includes a three-level pin driver, a window comparator, dynamic clamps, a 1kΩ load, and seven independent level-setting DACs.
Key Features
- When high-impedance mode is selected, the dynamic clamps provide damping of high-speed deviceunder-test (DUT) waveforms
- The MAX9973/ MAX9974 are configured through a serial interface
- The MAX9973/MAX9974 differ in two aspects: the position of the exposed heat slug and the pin arrangement
- The MAX9973G/MAX9974G comparator outputs sink 8mA (typ), while the MAX9973H/MAX9974H comparator outputs sink 16mA (typ)
- Power dissipation is only 700mW per channel
- The full operating voltage range is -1.5V to +6.5V
- Operation is specified at an internal die temperature of +40°C to +100°C, and features a temperature monitor output
- o 600Mbps at 3V High Speed o 700m
