Ultra-Low-Power, Single-Supply
Op Amp + Comparator + Reference
General Description
The MAX951–MAX954 feature combinations of a
micropower operational amplifier, comparator, and ref-
erence in an 8-pin package. In the MAX951 and
MAX952, the comparator’s inverting input is connected
to an internal 1.2V ±2% bandgap reference. The
MAX953 and MAX954 are offered without an internal
reference. The MAX951/MAX952 operate from a single
2.7V to 7V supply with a typical supply current of 7µA,
while the MAX953/MAX954 operate from 2.4V to 7V with
a 5µA typical supply current. Both the op amp and
comparator feature a common-mode input voltage
range that extends from the negative supply rail to with-
in 1.6V of the positive rail, as well as output stages that
swing Rail-to-Rail
®
.
The op amps in the MAX951/MAX953 are internally
compensated to be unity-gain stable, while the op
amps in the MAX952/MAX954 feature 125kHz typical
bandwidth, 66V/ms slew rate, and stability for gains of
10V/V or greater. These op amps have a unique output
stage that enables them to operate with an ultra-low
supply current while maintaining linearity under loaded
conditions. In addition, they have been designed to
exhibit good DC characteristics over their entire operat-
ing temperature range, minimizing input-referred errors.
The comparator output stage of these devices continu-
ously sources as much as 40mA. The comparators
eliminate power-supply glitches that commonly occur
when changing logic states, minimizing parasitic feed-
back and making the devices easier to use. In addition,
they contain ±3mV internal hysteresis to ensure clean
output switching, even with slow-moving input signals.

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.

Supply current is tested with COMPIN+ = (REF - 100mV) for MAX951/MAX952, and COMPIN+ = 0 for MAX953/MAX954.
Note 2:
Input Offset Voltage is defined as the center of the input-referred hysteresis. V
CM COMP

V
CM COMP
= 0 for MAX953/MAX954.
Note 3:
Trip Point is defined as the differential input voltage required to make the comparator output change. The difference
between upper and lower trip points is equal to the width of the input-referred hysteresis. V
CM COMP
= REF for
MAX951/MAX952, and V
CM COMP
= 0 for MAX953/MAX954.
Note 4:
For MAX951/MAX952, input leakage current is measured for COMPIN- at the reference voltage. For MAX953/MAX954, input
leakage current is measured for both COMPIN+ and COMPIN- at V
SS
.
Note 5:
Reference voltage is measured with respect to V
SS
. Contact factory for availability of a 3% accurate reference voltage in the
µMAX package.
