The difference between Noise or undesired parasitic AC feedback cause most these two input-referred trip points is the hysteresis. high-speed comparators to oscillate in the linear region Figure 1 illustrates the case where IN- is fixed and IN+ (i.e., when the voltage on one input is at or near the is varied. If the inputs were reversed, the figure would voltage on the other input). The MAX907/MAX908/ look the same, except the output would be inverted. MAX909 eliminate this problem by incorporating inter- The MAX909 includes an internal latch, allowing the nal hysteresis. When the two comparator input voltages result of a comparison to be stored. If LE is low, the are equal, hysteresis effectively causes one comparator latch is transparent (i.e., the comparator operates as input voltage to move quickly past the other, thus taking though the latch is not present).

Standard comparators require that hysteresis be added through the use of external resistors.
