Product details
Overview
MAX40009AUT+ from Analog Devices is a single micro-power rail-to-rail input comparator with push-pull output, operating from 1.7V to 5.5V supply and consuming only 12μA typical supply current at +25°C. It delivers 220ns propagation delay (L→H), 0.5mV typical input offset voltage, and integrated 3mV hysteresis-enabling clean switching in battery-powered IR receivers and threshold detectors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX40009AUT+ datasheet, MAX40009AUT+ pinout, MAX40009AUT+ application, or MAX40009AUT+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-pin SOT23 package, -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature rating, shutdown input (SHDN) enabling 1μA max quiescent current, and push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking 8mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing.
Technical Context
The MAX40009AUT+ implements a low-noise, internally hysteresis-biased comparator core with rail-to-rail input stage extending 200mV beyond VDD and GND. Its push-pull output stage eliminates external pull-up requirements and supports fast, glitch-free switching under capacitive loads up to 15pF.
Shutdown control is active-low on the SHDN pin, reducing supply current to ≤1μA across temperature; power-up time is 50μs. Input bias current remains ≤140nA over -40°C to +125°C, and CMRR is guaranteed ≥52dB, supporting stable operation in noisy portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 5.5V - enables direct use with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V system rails without level shifting. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 12μA at +25°C - extends battery life in always-on sensor monitoring applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 220ns (L→H, 100mV overdrive) - supports high-speed window detection in data recovery circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV (typ), ±5mV (max) - ensures accurate threshold discrimination down to sub-millivolt levels. |
| Hysteresis | 3mV (typ) - suppresses noise-induced oscillation without requiring external feedback components. |
| Output Type | Push-pull - drives logic inputs directly without pull-up resistors; sinks/sours 8mA at VDD = 3.3V. |

Pinout & Package
The MAX40009AUT+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and JEDEC-standard land pattern 90-0175.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN− | Inverting input - accepts rail-to-rail signals from −0.2V to VDD + 0.2V; used for reference or inverted signal comparison. |
| 2 | GND | Signal and power return - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 | OUT | Push-pull output - actively drives high/low; compatible with CMOS/TTL loads up to 8mA without external components. |
| 4 | NC | No connect - internal die pad; left unconnected per manufacturer recommendation. |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply input - requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stable high-speed operation. |
| 6 | IN+ | Non-inverting input - rail-to-rail capable; paired with IN− to form differential sensing node for threshold detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Operates with common-mode range from −0.2V to VDD + 0.2V - supports direct sensing of signals near supply rails in low-voltage systems. |
| Integrated 3mV hysteresis | Eliminates need for external positive feedback network - simplifies PCB layout and improves reliability in noisy mobile environments. |
| Glitch-free push-pull output | Minimizes supply current surges during switching - prevents voltage droop on shared supply rails in multi-rail portable designs. |
| Active-low shutdown (SHDN) | Reduces IDD to ≤1μA - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-event functionality in IoT endpoint sensors. |
| RF immunity filters | On-chip filtering rejects >100MHz RF interference - maintains stable output in proximity to cellular/Wi-Fi antennas. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3603DBVR | 320ns propagation delay; 850nA supply current; no integrated hysteresis; 1.8V–5.5V supply. | Lacks internal hysteresis - requires external feedback for noise immunity; better suited for low-quiescent-current always-on monitoring where speed is secondary. | Select TLV3603DBVR when <1μA supply current is critical and external hysteresis design is acceptable. |
| LMV7219M5X | 250ns propagation delay; 22μA supply current; open-drain output; no shutdown pin. | Open-drain output requires pull-up resistor; no shutdown function - unsuitable for duty-cycled sensor nodes needing microamp sleep modes. | Choose LMV7219M5X only if push-pull output and shutdown are not required, and higher supply current is tolerable. |
Compared with TLV3603DBVR and LMV7219M5X, the MAX40009AUT+ uniquely combines 220ns speed, 12μA supply current, integrated hysteresis, push-pull output, and active-low shutdown in a single 6-pin SOT23 package-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive automotive and portable designs requiring deterministic switching behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the IN+ and IN− pins of the MAX40009AUT+ relative to GND?
The MAX40009AUT+ specifies an absolute maximum input voltage range of −0.3V to +6V on IN+ and IN− pins relative to GND. This allows safe operation with input signals exceeding the supply rail-critical for level translation and fault-tolerant sensing. However, the functional common-mode range is −0.2V to VDD + 0.2V, ensuring specified performance within that band.
Does the MAX40009AUT+ require an external pull-up resistor on its OUT pin?
No, the MAX40009AUT+ features a push-pull output stage, so it actively drives both high and low states without requiring an external pull-up resistor. This differs from the open-drain MAX40008AUT+ variant and simplifies board layout in logic-level interfacing applications.
Can the MAX40009AUT+ operate from a 1.7V supply while maintaining full specification?
Yes, the MAX40009AUT+ is fully specified from 1.7V to 5.5V. At VDD = 1.7V, it guarantees 0.4V VOL (sinking 1.6mA), 0.6V VOH (sourcing 1.6mA), and ≤17μA max supply current across −40°C to +125°C-enabling reliable operation in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline-powered systems.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the MAX40009AUT+, and what voltage levels define its logic states?
The SHDN pin is an active-low shutdown control. A logic-low voltage ≤0.55V places the MAX40009AUT+ into shutdown mode, reducing supply current to ≤1μA. A logic-high voltage ≥1.3V enables normal operation. The transition occurs between 0.55V and 1.3V, with hysteresis preventing chatter near the threshold.
How does the internal 3mV hysteresis of the MAX40009AUT+ improve system reliability in noisy environments?
The internal 3mV hysteresis creates distinct upper and lower trip points, preventing output oscillation when input signals linger near the threshold due to noise or slow slew rates. This eliminates false triggers in IR receivers and battery monitors without requiring external components-reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity in compact portable designs.
