Product details
Overview
LMX331HAXK from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, open-drain, low-voltage comparator with internal 2mV hysteresis, designed for noise-immune threshold detection in automotive and portable systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, delivers 60µA supply current at 5V, achieves 90ns propagation delay (tPHL) at 100mV overdrive, and supports -40°C to +125°C operation in a 5-pin SC70 package.
For engineers reviewing the LMX331HAXK datasheet, LMX331HAXK pinout, LMX331HAXK application, or LMX331HAXK equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, validated SC70 pin mapping, confirmed hysteresis-enabled noise immunity, and real-world automotive and battery-powered use cases - all directly traceable to Maxim's official documentation.
Technical Context
The LMX331HAXK implements a rail-to-rail input stage with common-mode range extending from -0.1V below VSS to within 0.7V of VDD, enabling ground-sensing capability. Its internal hysteresis is fixed at 2mV and remains stable across temperature (-40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage (1.8V–5.5V), eliminating need for external feedback networks in noisy environments.
It uses submicron CMOS process technology to achieve superior PSRR (70dB), low input bias current (±0.05nA typ at +25°C), and reduced output saturation voltage (35mV at 1mA, 1.8V supply). The open-drain output supports wired-OR logic and flexible pull-up voltage selection independent of VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct integration into Li-ion, coin-cell, and 3.3V/5V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.25mV (typ) to 9mV (max, -40°C to +125°C) - ensures accurate threshold detection across full automotive temperature range. |
| Hysteresis | 2mV (internal, fixed) - suppresses chatter on slow-moving or noisy inputs without external components. |
| Propagation Delay | 90ns (tPHL, 100mV overdrive, 5V supply) - supports fast response in battery fuel gauging and overvoltage protection circuits. |
| Supply Current | 60µA per comparator at 5V - extends runtime in always-on monitoring applications like door-open detection. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 35mV at 1mA sink (1.8V supply) - minimizes power loss and improves low-voltage logic compatibility. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial edge sensor nodes. |
Pinout & Package
LMX331HAXK is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 1.0mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN+ | Noninverting input - accepts signals down to -0.1V below VSS, enabling true ground-referenced sensing. |
| 2 | VSS | Negative supply - must be connected to system ground; serves as reference for input common-mode and output low state. |
| 3 | IN- | Inverting input - differential pair input node; phase reversal is prevented even when overdriven beyond rails. |
| 4 | OUT | Open-drain output - requires external pull-up; supports mixed-voltage interfacing and wired-OR bus configurations. |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply - powers internal circuitry; PSRR of 70dB ensures stable operation amid supply ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal 2mV hysteresis | Eliminates external resistor network for noise immunity - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity in EMI-prone environments. |
| Rail-to-rail input range | Supports input voltages from -0.1V to VDD – 0.7V - enables direct sensing of battery voltage, thermistor dividers, and sensor outputs near ground or supply rails. |
| Low 35mV output saturation | Reduces voltage headroom loss in 1.8V systems - improves margin for downstream logic or ADC reference tracking. |
| 60µA supply current at 5V | Enables continuous monitoring in ultra-low-power wake-up circuits - e.g., intrusion detection with <1µA average system current. |
| Automotive-grade temp range | Validated operation from -40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for engine control and ADAS subsystems. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Automotive Door Open Sensor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-channel, hysteresis-equipped comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3601DBVR | Higher speed (1.8ns tPD), no internal hysteresis, 2.7V–5.5V supply only | Requires external hysteresis resistors; better suited for high-speed zero-crossing detection than slow thermal monitoring | Select TLV3601DBVR only when propagation delay <5ns is required and board area permits external feedback network. |
| MAX9062AUT+T | Includes programmable hysteresis (0–30mV), 1.7V–5.5V supply, 125ns tPHL at 5V | Offers adjustable trip band via digital interface; larger SOT23-6 footprint vs. SC70-5 | Choose MAX9062AUT+T when hysteresis tuning is needed per operating mode (e.g., different thresholds for sleep/wake states). |
Compared with TLV3601DBVR and MAX9062AUT+T, the LMX331HAXK delivers optimal balance of size (SC70), guaranteed noise immunity (fixed 2mV hysteresis), and automotive temperature compliance - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and thermally demanding applications where external component count must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LMX331HAXK?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD to VSS) for LMX331HAXK is +6V. However, functional operation is specified only from 1.8V to 5.5V. Operating above 5.5V risks permanent damage and invalidates parametric guarantees - always limit VDD to ≤5.5V in production designs using LMX331HAXK.
Does LMX331HAXK require external hysteresis components?
No. LMX331HAXK integrates 2mV of internal hysteresis, eliminating the need for external positive-feedback resistors. This simplifies design, saves PCB area, and ensures consistent noise immunity across temperature and supply voltage - a key differentiator from standard LMX331 variants and most competing comparators.
What is the output configuration of LMX331HAXK?
LMX331HAXK features an open-drain output (pin 4). It cannot source current and requires an external pull-up resistor to VDD or another logic rail. This configuration enables wired-OR connections, mixed-voltage interfacing, and flexible logic-level translation - essential for battery-monitoring and automotive wake-up circuits using LMX331HAXK.
Can LMX331HAXK operate with input voltages below ground?
Yes. LMX331HAXK supports an input common-mode voltage range extending to -0.1V below VSS (ground), allowing direct connection to signals that dip slightly negative - such as op-amp outputs in AC-coupled sensor front-ends or thermocouple amplifiers. This capability is explicitly characterized and guaranteed in the datasheet for LMX331HAXK.
Is LMX331HAXK qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. LMX331HAXK is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation and manufactured using automotive-qualified processes. Its specifications - including offset drift, PSRR, and hysteresis stability - are fully tested across this range, making it suitable for under-hood and cabin applications where LMX331HAXK replaces legacy comparators in body control modules and battery management systems.
