Dual, Ultra-Fast ECL-Output Comparator
_______________General Description
The MAX9687 is a dual, ultra-fast ECL comparator manufactured with a high-frequency bipolar process (fT = 6GHz) capable of very short propagation delays. This design maintains the excellent DC matching characteristics normally found only in slower comparators. The MAX9687 is pin-compatible with the AD9687 and Am6687, but exceeds their AC characteristics. The MAX9687 has differential inputs and complementary outputs that are fully compatible with ECL-logic levels. Output current levels are capable of driving 50Ω terminated transmission lines. The ultra-fast operation makes signal processing possible at frequencies in excess of 600MHz.
