General Description

The MAX9686 (single)/MAX9698 (dual) are very fast TTL comparators manufactured with a high-frequency bipolar process (fT = 6GHz) that are capable of very short propagation delays, yet maintain the excellent DC matching characteristics that are normally found only in slower comparators. The MAX9698 is a dual version of the MAX9686.
