MAX9025–MAX9028
UCSP, 1.8V, nanoPower, Beyond-the-Rails
Comparators With/Without Reference
General Description
Features
● Space-Saving UCSP Package (1mm x 1.52mm)
The MAX9025/MAX9028 nanopower comparators in
space-saving chip-scale (UCSP™) packages feature
Beyond-the-Rails™ inputs and are guaranteed to oper-
ate down to +1.8V. The MAX9025/MAX9026 feature
an on-board 1.236V ±1% reference and draw an ultra-
low supply current of only 1µA, while the MAX9027−
MAX9028 (without reference) require just 0.6µA of
supply current. These features make the MAX9025−
MAX9028 family of comparators ideal for all 2-cell battery-
monitoring/management applications.
● Ultra-Low Supply Current
• 0.6µA (MAX9027/MAX9028)
• 1µA with Reference (MAX9025/MAX9026)
● Guaranteed to Operate Down to +1.8V
● Internal 1.236V ±1% Reference (MAX9025/
MAX9026)
● Input Voltage Range Extends 200mV
Beyond-the-Rails
● CMOS Push-Pull Output with ±5mA Drive Capability
(MAX9025/MAX9027)
● Open-Drain Output Versions Available (MAX9026/
The unique design of the output stage limits supply-
current surges while switching, virtually eliminating the
supply glitches typical of many other comparators. This
design also minimizes overall power consumption under
dynamic conditions. The MAX9025/MAX9027 have a
push-pull output stage that sinks and sources current.
Large internal-output drivers allow rail-to-rail output swing
with loads up to 5mA. The MAX9026/MAX9028 have an
open-drain output stage that makes them suitable for
mixed-voltage system design. All devices are available in
the miniature 6-bump UCSP packages.
