Micropower, Low-Voltage, UCSP/SC70,
Rail-to-Rail I/O Comparators
General Description
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 ±2.75V
dual supplies. They consume only 11µA of supply cur-
rent while achieving a 300ns propagation delay.
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.
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
V
CC
to 6V (max) above V
EE
. These open-drain versions
are ideal for level translators and bipolar to single-
ended converters.
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 SC70 packages and the dual MAX989/MAX990
are available in 8-pin SOT23 packages.

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.
