The MAX971–MAX974 and MAX981–MAX984 single/
dual/quad low-voltage comparators feature the lowest
p owe r c ons ump tion a va ila b le . The s e mic rop owe r

temperature (MAX971/MAX972, MAX981/MAX982), and
inc lud e a n inte rna l 1.182V ± 1% (MAX971/MAX973/
MAX974) or ±2% (MAX981–MAX984) voltage reference
and programmable hysteresis.
♦ µMAX Package—Smallest 8-Pin SO
(MAX9_1/MAX9_2/MAX9_3)
♦ Ultra-Low 4µA Max Quiescent Current
Over Extended Temp. Range (MAX971/MAX981)
♦ Power Supplies: Single +2.5V to +11V
Dual ±1.25V to ±5.5V
♦ Input Voltage Range Includes Negative Supply
♦ Internal 1.182V ±1% Bandgap Reference
Ideal for 3V or 5V single-supply applications, these
devices operate from a single +2.5V to +11V supply (or
±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supplies), and each comparator’s
input voltage ranges from the negative supply rail to within
1.3V of the positive supply.
♦ 12µs Propagation Delay (10mV Overdrive)
♦ Output Has Separate GND Pin (MAX9_1/MAX9_4)
The single MAX971 and MAX981 and the dual MAX973
and MAX982/MAX983 provide a unique, simple method
for adding hysteresis without feedback or complicated
e q ua tions , s imp ly b y us ing the HYST p in p lus two
resistors.

The MAX971–MAX974 and MAX981–MAX984’s open-
drain outputs permit wire-ORed configurations. Thanks to
an 11V output range and separate GND pin for the output
transistor (MAX971/MAX974, MAX981/MAX984), these
devices are ideal for level translators and bipolar to single-
ended converters. For similar devices with complementary
output stages, see the MAX921–MAX924 (1% reference)
and the MAX931–MAX934 (2% reference).
