Micropower, Ultra-Small, Single/Dual/Quad,
Single-Supply Comparators
General Description
Features
The MAX9021/MAX9022/MAX9024 single/dual/quad
comparators are optimized for low-power consumption
while still providing a fast output response. They are
designed for single-supply applications from 2.5V to
5.5V, but can also operate from dual supplies. These
comparators have a 3µs propagation delay and con-
sume 2.8µA of supply current per comparator over the
-40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. The
combination of low-power, single-supply operation
down to 2.5V, and ultra-small footprint makes these
devices ideal for portable applications.
ꢀ Low-Cost Solution Available in Space-Saving
SC70 Packages (Half the Size of SOT23)
ꢀ Low 2.8µA Supply Current
ꢀ 3µs Propagation Delay
ꢀ Internal 4mV Comparator Hysteresis
ꢀ Comparator Output Swings Rail-to-Rail®
ꢀ 2.5 to 5.5V Single-Supply Voltage Range
ꢀ No Phase Reversal for Overdriven Inputs
The MAX9021/MAX9022/MAX9024 have 4mV of built-in
hysteresis to provide noise immunity and prevent oscil-
lations even with a slow-moving input signal. The input
common-mode range extends from the negative supply
to within 1.1V of the positive supply. The design of the
comparator-output stage substantially reduces switch-
ing current during output transitions, eliminating power-
supply glitches.
