MAX998ESA+T

Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated · Comparators · SO-8

MAX998ESA+T from Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated, in a SO-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 N.C. unconnected No connection. Not internally connected - may be left floating.
2 IN- input Comparator inverting input. Common-mode range extends from -0.2V to (VCC - 1.2V). Input bias current typically 75nA; input capacitance ~3pF. Either input may be driven to the absolute-max limit without false output inversion provided the other input is within the common-mode range.
3 IN+ input Comparator noninverting input. Common-mode range -0.2V to (VCC - 1.2V). Input bias current typically 75nA; input capacitance ~3pF. Internal hysteresis (typ 1.5mV input-referred) ensures clean switching with slow-moving signals.
4 GND power_in Ground / negative supply return. Connect to the low-inductance ground plane; place the 0.1µF VCC decoupling cap between VCC and GND as close to the pins as possible.
5 N.C. unconnected No connection. Not internally connected - may be left floating.
6 OUT output Comparator push-pull output. Rail-to-rail operation without external pullup; VOH within 0.4V of VCC and VOL within 0.4V of GND at ±2mA. Short-circuit current typ 90mA sourcing / 74mA sinking at VCC=5.5V; tolerant of continuous short to either rail. Placed in a high-impedance state when SHDN is driven low.
7 VCC power_in Positive supply, +2.7V to +5.5V (absolute max +6V). Supply current per comparator typ 225µA at 2.7V, 300µA (max 650µA) at 5.5V; drops to ~1nA in shutdown. Bypass with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND close to the pin.
8 SHDN input Active-low shutdown input (overlined SHDN). Drive low to enter shutdown (output Hi-Z, ICC ≈ 1nA); drive high or tie to VCC for normal operation. Logic thresholds are ratiometric to VCC: VIH ≥ 0.65·VCC, VIL ≤ 0.2·VCC. Max input voltage 6V referenced to GND (not limited by VCC), so 5V logic can drive SHDN while VCC runs at 3V. Do not leave floating or three-state - high-impedance drive can produce indeterminate logic levels. Wake-up time typ 15µs; shutdown delay typ 5µs.
