MAX9038–MAX9043/
MAX9050–MAX9053
Micropower, Single-Supply, UCSP/SOT23
Comparator + Precision Reference ICs
General Description
The MAX9038–MAX9043 and MAX9050–MAX9053 fea-
ture combinations of low-power comparators and preci-
sion voltage references. Their operating voltage range
makes them ideal for both 3V and 5V systems. The
MAX9039/MAX9040/MAX9041/MAX9050/MAX9051
have a single comparator and reference consuming
only 40µA of supply current. The MAX9042/MAX9043/
MAX9052/MAX9053 have dual comparators and one
reference, and consume only 55µA of supply current.
Low-voltage operation and low supply current make
these devices ideal for battery-operated systems.
The comparators feature rail-to-rail inputs and outputs,
with a common-mode input voltage range that extends
250mV beyond the supply rails. Input bias current is
typically 1.0pA, and input offset voltage is typically
0.5mV. Internal hysteresis ensures clean output switch-
ing, even with slow-moving input signals. The output
stage features a unique design that limits supply cur-
rent surges while switching, virtually eliminating supply
glitches typical of many other comparators. This design
also minimizes overall power consumption under
dynamic conditions. The comparator outputs have rail-
to-rail, push-pull output stages except the MAX9038
has an open-drain output that sinks and sources up to
8mA. The propagation delay is 400ns, even with the
low-operating supply current.
The reference output voltage is set to 1.23V in the
MAX9038/MAX9039, to 2.048V in the MAX9040–
MAX9043, and to 2.500V in the MAX9050–MAX9053.
The MAX9040–MAX9043 and the MAX9050–MAX9053
are offered in two grades: an A grade with 0.4% initial
accuracy and 6ppm/°C tempco, and a B grade with 1%
initial accuracy (except MAX9038/MAX9039 have an
initial accuracy of ±0.4%) and 100ppm/°C tempco. The
voltage references feature a proprietary curvature-cor-
rection circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors.
These series-mode references can sink or source up to
500µA of load current.

Note 1:
This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recom-
mended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection Packaging
Reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
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.
