General Description

The MAX9969 dual, low-power, high-speed, pin electronics driver/comparator with 35mA load IC includes, for each channel, a three-level pin driver, a dual comparator, variable clamps, and an active load. An additional differential comparator allows comparisons between the two channels. The driver features a wide voltage range and high-speed operation, includes highimpedance and active-termination (3rd-level drive) modes, and is highly linear even at low voltage swings.
