Product details
Overview
LTC1440IMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultralow-power single comparator with integrated 1.182 V ±1% bandgap reference, programmable hysteresis via HYST pin, TTL/CMOS-compatible output, and operation from 2 V to 11 V single supply or ±1 V to ±5.5 V dual supply. It delivers 2.1 µA typical supply current at 25°C, 12 µs propagation delay with 10 mV overdrive, and supports battery-powered voltage monitoring in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1440IMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1440IMS8#PBF pinout, LTC1440IMS8#PBF application, or LTC1440IMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower operation below 4.4 µA over –40°C to +85°C, reference output capable of driving 0.01 µF without oscillation, input common-mode range extending to V– and within 1.3 V of V+, and absence of crowbar current during output transitions.
Technical Context
The LTC1440IMS8#PBF integrates a precision 1.182 V reference referenced to V–, enabling self-contained threshold detection without external references. Its comparator features rail-to-rail input capability (V– to V+ – 1.3 V), 10 pA typical input leakage, and CMOS output stage that sources up to 40 mA while maintaining microamp quiescent current.
Hysteresis is implemented externally using two resistors between REF, HYST, and V–, allowing adjustable hysteresis voltage bands up to 100 mV. The device eliminates supply glitches by avoiding cross-conducting current during logic transitions - a critical advantage in noise-sensitive, low-power systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator-with-reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX921ESA+ | Higher 10 µA supply current; fixed 1.235 V reference; no hysteresis pin | Lacks programmable hysteresis and lower quiescent current; less suitable for ultra-low-power battery systems | Select MAX921ESA+ only if legacy pin compatibility is required and hysteresis is implemented externally |
| LTC1540IDC#PBF | 0.3 µA typical supply current; same 1.182 V reference; DFN-6 package; no HYST pin | Lower power but no hysteresis adjustment; smaller footprint; limited output drive (10 mA source) | Choose LTC1540IDC#PBF for nanopower (<1 µA) applications where hysteresis is unnecessary or added externally |
Compared with MAX921ESA+ and LTC1540IDC#PBF, the LTC1440IMS8#PBF uniquely balances ultralow 2.1 µA supply current, programmable hysteresis, 40 mA output drive, and MSOP-8 manufacturability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, long-life battery monitors requiring design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1440IMS8#PBF?
The LTC1440IMS8#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C (I-grade). Electrical characteristics including supply current (≤4.4 µA), reference voltage (1.164 V to 1.200 V), and input offset voltage (±10 mV) are guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range, making LTC1440IMS8#PBF suitable for automotive cabin modules and outdoor sensor nodes.
Can the LTC1440IMS8#PBF drive a 0.01 µF capacitor directly on the REF pin?
Yes, the LTC1440IMS8#PBF reference output is explicitly characterized to drive up to 0.01 µF capacitive loads without oscillation. This capability stabilizes the 1.182 V reference against transient load changes and supply noise, eliminating false comparator trips. For larger capacitors (up to 100 µF), a series damping resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ for 1 µF) is required per Figure 1 in the LTC1440 datasheet - a feature confirmed for LTC1440IMS8#PBF.
How is hysteresis programmed on the LTC1440IMS8#PBF?
Hysteresis on the LTC1440IMS8#PBF is programmed using two external resistors: R1 between REF and HYST pins, and R2 between HYST and V–. The hysteresis voltage band (VHB) equals twice the voltage difference between REF and HYST, with maximum VHB = 100 mV. For example, to achieve 30 mV hysteresis, set VHYST = REF – 15 mV using R1/R2 ratio. This configuration is validated for LTC1440IMS8#PBF in Figures 4 and 5 of the datasheet.
Does the LTC1440IMS8#PBF have rail-to-rail input capability?
The LTC1440IMS8#PBF inputs operate from V– to V+ – 1.3 V, not full rail-to-rail. At V+ = 5 V, the upper input limit is 3.7 V; at V+ = 2 V, it is 0.7 V. However, the input common-mode range includes V– (e.g., GND), enabling detection of signals near ground. This specification is guaranteed for LTC1440IMS8#PBF across –40°C to +85°C and is distinct from true rail-to-rail input amplifiers.
What is the maximum continuous output source current for the LTC1440IMS8#PBF?
The LTC1440IMS8#PBF output can continuously source up to 40 mA while maintaining microamp quiescent current and specified propagation delay. This is verified in Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G04) and Absolute Maximum Ratings. The output remains functional up to 50 mA peak, but 40 mA is the guaranteed continuous rating for LTC1440IMS8#PBF in SO-8 and MSOP-8 packages at TA ≤ 85°C.
