Product details
Overview
LMX331AXK-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, low-voltage, open-drain comparator with internal 2mV hysteresis, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V supply and rated for -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. It features 60µA supply current at 5V, 100mV output saturation voltage at 1mA sink, and input common-mode range extending to ground. It is used in battery-powered voltage monitoring circuits where noise immunity and rail-to-rail input capability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LMX331AXK-T datasheet, LMX331AXK-T pinout, LMX331AXK-T application, or LMX331AXK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.8V operation, internal hysteresis for slow-signal stability, SC70-5 package footprint compatibility with LMV331, and automotive-grade thermal performance without external components.
Technical Context
The LMX331AXK-T implements a CMOS-input, open-drain output architecture optimized for low-power, single-supply operation. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from -0.1V to VDD–0.7V, enabling direct ground-referenced sensing. The internal 2mV hysteresis eliminates need for external positive feedback networks in noisy environments.
It delivers 90ns typical propagation delay (tPHL/tPLH) at 100mV overdrive and 5V supply, with PSRR of 60–70dB across 1.8V–5.5V. Input offset voltage is specified at ≤9mV over full temperature range, and output leakage remains ≤2µA at +125°C - critical for high-impedance threshold detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic rails without level shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial edge-node applications. |
| Supply Current | 60µA per comparator at 5V - supports multi-year battery life in always-on sensor monitors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤9mV max over full temperature range - ensures stable trip-point accuracy in precision threshold detection. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 100mV at 1mA sink - minimizes voltage drop when driving pull-up resistors or logic inputs. |
| Hysteresis | 2mV internal - suppresses chatter on slow-moving or noisy signals without external components. |
| Propagation Delay | 90ns typical (100mV overdrive, 5V) - suitable for sub-microsecond response in power sequencing and fault detection. |
Pinout & Package
LMX331AXK-T is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 1.0mm), optimized for space-constrained portable and automotive PCBs. The package is RoHS-compliant and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN+ | Noninverting input - accepts ground-referenced or rail-to-rail analog signals up to VDD–0.7V. |
| 2 | VSS | Negative supply terminal - must be connected to system ground; supports input common-mode down to -0.1V. |
| 3 | IN- | Inverting input - used for reference comparison; no phase reversal occurs even when overdriven. |
| 4 | OUT | Open-drain output - requires external pull-up; sinks up to 73mA at 5V, enabling direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic. |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply - powers internal circuitry; bypassing with 0.1µF capacitor near this pin is mandatory for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal 2mV hysteresis | Eliminates external resistor network for noise immunity - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity in battery monitor designs. |
| Ground-sensing input range | Supports direct connection of IN– to GND and IN+ to battery or sensor output - removes need for level-shifting amplifiers. |
| Low 60µA supply current | Enables continuous operation in energy-harvesting or coin-cell-powered systems with >5-year runtime at 1Hz wake-up. |
| Open-drain output with 73mA sink | Drives standard pull-up resistors (e.g., 10kΩ to 3.3V) while maintaining <100mV VOL - ensures clean logic-level transitions. |
| Automotive temperature qualification | Guaranteed functionality from -40°C to +125°C - validated for engine control modules, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power supervisors. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Automotive Power Sequencer |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV331IDCKR | No internal hysteresis; 1.65V–5.5V supply; 75µA supply current at 5V; same SC70-5 pinout. | Suitable where external hysteresis is acceptable or preferred; lacks built-in noise immunity for slow signals. | Select LMV331IDCKR only if hysteresis is added externally and lower cost is prioritized over design simplicity. |
| TLV331DBVR | 1.8V–5.5V supply; 55µA supply current; no internal hysteresis; rail-to-rail input; SC70-5 package. | Offers better input common-mode range (to VDD) but requires external hysteresis network for noise-prone environments. | Choose TLV331DBVR when rail-to-rail input swing beyond VDD–0.7V is required, and layout allows for two external resistors. |
Compared with LMX331AXK-T, LMV331IDCKR and TLV331DBVR both lack integrated hysteresis - requiring external components for noise immunity - whereas LMX331AXK-T delivers deterministic 2mV hysteresis in the same footprint, reducing design iteration time and improving reliability in automotive and battery-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LMX331AXK-T?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD to VSS) for LMX331AXK-T is +6V. Operation above 5.5V is not recommended, as electrical specifications are only guaranteed from 1.8V to 5.5V. Exceeding +6V may cause permanent damage, and derating guidelines apply above +70°C ambient.
Does LMX331AXK-T require external hysteresis components?
No, LMX331AXK-T includes 2mV of internal hysteresis, eliminating the need for external resistors in most noise-immune threshold detection applications. This feature is inherent to the "H" variant designation and is fully characterized across -40°C to +125°C.
Can LMX331AXK-T interface directly with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes, LMX331AXK-T operates down to 1.8V supply and its open-drain output can be pulled up to 1.8V, making it fully compatible with 1.8V logic families. Output saturation voltage remains ≤35mV at 1mA sink under 1.8V conditions, ensuring robust low-state signaling.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of LMX331AXK-T?
The input common-mode voltage range of LMX331AXK-T extends from -0.1V below VSS (ground) to VDD – 0.7V. This allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground - such as battery voltage or thermistor dividers - without level-shifting circuitry.
Is LMX331AXK-T pin-compatible with LMV331?
Yes, LMX331AXK-T is a drop-in, pin-for-pin replacement for LMV331 in the SC70-5 package. Both share identical pinout (IN+, VSS, IN-, OUT, VDD), footprint, and solder-reflow profile, enabling direct substitution without PCB modification.
