Micropower, Low-Voltage, UCSP/SC70,
Rail-to-Rail I/O Comparators
General Description
____________________________Features
The MAX985/MAX986/MAX989/MAX990/MAX993/
MAX994 single/dual/quad micropower comparators
feature low-voltage operation and rail-to-rail inputs and
outputs. Their operating voltages range from 2.5V to
5.5V, making them ideal for both 3V and 5V systems.
These comparators also operate with 1.25V to 2.ꢀ5V
dual supplies. They consume only 11µA of supply cur-
rent while achieving a 300ns propagation delay.
o 11µA Quiescent Supply Current
o 2.5V to 5.5V Single-Supply Operation
o Common-Mode Input Voltage Range Extends
250mV Beyond the Rails
o 300ns Propagation Delay
o Push-Pull Output Stage Sinks and Sources
8mA Current (MAX985/MAX989/MAX993)
Input bias current is typically 1.0pA, and input offset
voltage is typically 0.5mV. Internal hysteresis ensures
clean output switching, even with slow-moving input
signals.
o Open-Drain Output Voltage Extends Beyond V
CC
(MAX986/MAX990/MAX994)
o Unique Output Stage Reduces Output Switching
The output stage’s unique design limits supply-current
surges while switching, virtually eliminating the supply
glitches typical of many other comparators. The
MAX985/MAX989/MAX993 have a push-pull output
stage that sinks as well as sources current. Large inter-
nal output drivers allow rail-to-rail output swing with
loads up to 8mA. The MAX986/MAX990/MAX994 have
an open-drain output stage that can be pulled beyond
Current, Minimizing Overall Power Consumption
o 80µA Supply Current at 1MHz Switching
Frequency
o No Phase Reversal for Overdriven Inputs

Ordering Information
The single MAX985 is available in a chip-scale pack-
age (UCSP™), significantly reducing the required PC
board area. The single MAX985/MAX986 are available
in 5-pin SCꢀ0 packages and the dual MAX989/MAX990
are available in 8-pin SOT23 packages.
