Product details
Overview
The MAX40008AUT+T from Analog Devices is a single micro-power comparator with open-drain output, rail-to-rail inputs, 220ns propagation delay (L→H, 100mV overdrive), 12μA supply current at +25°C, and shutdown capability-designed for low-voltage battery-powered threshold detection in portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX40008AUT+T datasheet, MAX40008AUT+T pinout, MAX40008AUT+T application, or MAX40008AUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.7V–5.5V supply range, -40°C to +125°C automotive qualification, 6-pin SOT23 package, open-drain output rated to 6V above GND, and integrated 3mV hysteresis for noise-immune switching.
Technical Context
The MAX40008AUT+T implements a precision comparator core with rail-to-rail input stage operating down to 1.7V, internal 3mV hysteresis to suppress oscillation on slow signals, and an open-drain output stage capable of sinking 8mA while tolerating pullup voltages up to 6V above GND-enabling level translation across incompatible voltage domains.
Its shutdown input (active-low) reduces quiescent current to ≤1μA over temperature, and the design eliminates supply-current surges during switching via proprietary output driver architecture-preventing supply glitches common in comparators with conventional output stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.5V - supports direct operation from 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, and 5V rails without regulation. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 12μA at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensing nodes. |
| Propagation Delay (L→H) | 220ns at 100mV overdrive - delivers fast response for timing-critical window detection. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Max) | ±5mV over -40°C to +125°C - ensures stable trip-point accuracy across automotive temperature range. |
| Hysteresis | 3mV typical - prevents chatter on noisy or slowly varying inputs without external components. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows flexible pullup to any voltage ≤6V, enabling bidirectional logic-level translation. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1μA over temperature - maintains ultra-low power in sleep modes for energy-constrained systems. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX40008AUT+T is housed in a standard 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1, outline 21-0058), with 0.95mm pitch and 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint-compatible with automated assembly and legacy PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN− | Inverting input - accepts rail-to-rail common-mode signals from −0.2V to VDD + 0.2V. |
| 2 | GND | Signal and power return - must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 3 | OUT | Open-drain output - requires external pullup; sinks up to 8mA; withstands 6V absolute max above GND. |
| 4 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - matches IN− in rail-to-rail range and input bias current (20nA typ). |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply - bypass with 0.1μF capacitor near pin to suppress supply transients. |
| 6 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control - drives device into <1μA quiescent state when pulled low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Operates with input voltages from −0.2V to VDD + 0.2V - eliminates need for level-shifting front-end in mixed-supply systems. |
| Integrated 3mV hysteresis | Prevents false triggering on EMI or slow edges - removes requirement for external hysteresis resistors in most threshold applications. |
| 6V-tolerant open-drain output | Enables direct 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic-level translation without external MOSFETs or translators. |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Maintains correct output polarity even when inputs exceed common-mode range - improves reliability in fault conditions. |
| RF immunity filters | On-chip filtering rejects high-frequency interference - reduces need for external ferrites or RC snubbers in noisy environments. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Threshold Detection | Logic-Level Translation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage in wearables to trigger low-battery warning before shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator detecting crossing of 3.0V threshold on IN+ against fixed reference on IN−.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed comparator converting analog IR envelope into clean digital pulse train. Use Value: 220ns propagation delay preserves pulse width fidelity; rail-to-rail inputs accommodate wide-swing photodiode signals. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV7011DBVR | Push-pull output; no 6V-tolerant output; 360ns propagation delay; 650nA supply current. | Lacks open-drain flexibility for level translation; better suited for driving CMOS loads directly. | Select TLV7011DBVR only if push-pull output and ultra-low power (<1μA) dominate requirements over voltage translation. |
| MAX9021AXK+T | Open-drain output; 1.8V–5.5V supply; 300ns propagation delay; 1.5μA supply current; no shutdown. | Missing shutdown function and automotive temperature grade; smaller hysteresis (1.5mV). | Choose MAX9021AXK+T only for cost-sensitive industrial designs where shutdown and extended temp range are not required. |
Compared with TLV7011DBVR and MAX9021AXK+T, the MAX40008AUT+T uniquely combines 6V-tolerant open-drain output, 220ns speed, shutdown, and full automotive temperature support-making it the only option qualified for robust level translation in harsh-environment battery systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the MAX40008AUT+T OUT pin?
The MAX40008AUT+T OUT pin is rated for voltages up to 6V above GND, independent of VDD. This allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains (e.g., pulling up to 5V while VDD = 1.8V). Exceeding 6V absolute maximum may cause permanent damage, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the MAX40008AUT+T require external hysteresis for reliable operation?
No-the MAX40008AUT+T integrates 3mV of internal hysteresis, which is sufficient to prevent oscillation on slow-moving or noisy inputs in most applications. External hysteresis is only needed when tighter or adjustable hysteresis bands (e.g., >5mV) are required for specific noise immunity targets.
Can the MAX40008AUT+T operate from a 1.7V supply while maintaining full specification?
Yes-the MAX40008AUT+T is fully specified from 1.7V to 5.5V. At 1.7V, it delivers rail-to-rail input operation, 17μA max supply current over temperature, and retains 3mV hysteresis and shutdown functionality-enabling use in emerging ultra-low-voltage IoT sensors.
How does the shutdown feature affect propagation delay in the MAX40008AUT+T?
When SHDN is asserted low, the MAX40008AUT+T enters a low-power state with <1μA supply current and disables the comparator core-so propagation delay becomes undefined. Propagation delay (220ns) applies only during active operation (SHDN = high). Power-up time from shutdown is 50μs, after which full performance resumes.
Is the MAX40008AUT+T pin-compatible with other comparators in the same SOT23-6 footprint?
No-while the MAX40008AUT+T uses the standard 6-pin SOT23 package, its pinout (IN−, GND, OUT, IN+, VDD, SHDN) differs from common comparator pinouts like LMV331 or TLV331. Direct replacement requires PCB layout modification; verify pin mapping before substitution.
