SC70, 1.6V, Nanopower, Beyond-the-Rails
Comparators With/Without Reference
General Description
The MAX9117–MAX9120 nanopower comparators in
space-saving SC70 packages feature Beyond-the-
Rails™ inputs and are guaranteed to operate down to
+1.6V. The MAX9117/MAX9118 feature an on-board
1.252V ±1.75% reference and draw an ultra-low supply
current of only 600nA, while the MAX9119/MAX9120
(without reference) require just 350nA of supply current.
These features make the MAX9117–MAX9120 family of
comparators ideal for all 2-cell battery-monitoring/man-
agement applications.
The unique design of the output stage limits supply-cur-
rent surges while switching, virtually eliminating the sup-
ply glitches typical of many other comparators. This
design also minimizes overall power consumption under
dynamic conditions. The MAX9117/MAX9119 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 MAX9118/MAX9120
have an open-drain output stage that makes them suit-
able for mixed-voltage system design. All devices are
available in the ultra-small 5-pin SC70 package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
