Product details
Overview
The LMX331HAXK+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, low-voltage, open-drain 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 - used in battery voltage monitoring and wake-up signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LMX331HAXK+T datasheet, LMX331HAXK+T pinout, LMX331HAXK+T application, or LMX331HAXK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed hysteresis, rail-to-rail input range including ground, low output saturation voltage (100mV @ 1mA), and SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LMX331HAXK+T implements a CMOS-input, open-drain output architecture optimized for low-voltage operation down to 1.8V while maintaining robust input common-mode range (–0.1V to VDD – 0.7V). Its internal hysteresis eliminates need for external feedback resistors in noisy environments.
It features no phase reversal under overdriven inputs, 70dB PSRR at 1.8V, and 50V/mV small-signal voltage gain - enabling stable comparison of slowly varying signals such as thermistor outputs or battery voltage ramps without oscillation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V logic, and 1.8V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤9mV (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures accurate trip-point stability across full automotive temperature range. |
| Hysteresis | 2mV (internal, fixed) - suppresses chatter on slow-moving or noisy inputs like sensor outputs or power-good signals. |
| Propagation Delay | 90ns (tPHL, 100mV overdrive, VDD = 5V) - supports fast response in overvoltage/undervoltage fault detection circuits. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 100mV @ ISINK = 1mA - minimizes voltage drop when driving pull-up loads, preserving margin for downstream logic thresholds. |
| Supply Current | 60µA per comparator @ VDD = 5V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as vehicle intrusion detection. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | Includes ground (–0.1V to VDD – 0.7V) - allows direct sensing of 0V-referenced signals like current-sense shunts or battery negative terminals. |
Pinout & Package
LMX331HAXK+T is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 1.0mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in automotive and portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN+ | Noninverting input - accepts reference or sensed signal; supports common-mode down to –0.1V (below ground). |
| 2 | VSS | Negative supply terminal - must be connected to system ground; defines reference for all inputs and output. |
| 3 | IN− | Inverting input - compares against IN+; no phase reversal even when overdriven beyond supply rails. |
| 4 | OUT | Open-drain output - requires external pull-up; sinks up to 10mA; compatible with mixed-voltage logic interfaces. |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply input - powers internal circuitry; supports 1.8V–5.5V operation with <1µA leakage at VDD = 1.8V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal 2mV hysteresis | Eliminates need for external positive feedback resistors in noise-prone environments like engine control units or motor drives. |
| Rail-to-rail input including ground | Enables direct measurement of signals referenced to system ground - e.g., battery cell voltage or shunt-based current sensing. |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Qualified for under-hood automotive use and industrial edge nodes without derating or thermal management overhead. |
| Low 60µA supply current @ 5V | Reduces quiescent power in always-on battery monitors - critical for >10-year service life in telematics modules. |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents false triggering when inputs exceed supply rails - essential for robustness in unregulated or transient-heavy power domains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV331M5X/NOPB | No internal hysteresis; wider offset drift (±4.5µV/°C vs. ±5µV/°C); same SC70-5 package and pinout. | Requires external hysteresis resistors for noise immunity - increases component count and layout complexity. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs noise immunity needs and board space permits external components. |
| TLV331IDCKR | Lower supply current (55µA @ 5V); no hysteresis; 1.5V min supply; different pinout (IN+, VDD, IN−, OUT, GND). | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; lacks automotive temp grade (–40°C to +125°C) - rated only to +125°C. | Choose for ultra-low-power consumer devices where automotive qualification is unnecessary and layout flexibility exists. |
Compared with LMX331HAXK+T, LMV331M5X/NOPB offers identical form factor but demands external hysteresis design effort, while TLV331IDCKR trades automotive reliability and pin compatibility for marginal supply current reduction - making LMX331HAXK+T optimal for production-grade automotive and industrial monitoring.
