Product details
Overview
MAX9002ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, single-supply analog IC integrating a unity-gain stable op amp (1.25MHz GBW), an 185ns comparator, and no internal voltage reference - enabling external reference flexibility. It operates from +2.5V to +5.5V, draws 340µA quiescent current, delivers rail-to-rail outputs (±2.5mA op amp / ±4.0mA comparator), and supports ground-sensing inputs for both functions. It is used in photodiode preamps, zero-crossing detectors, and smart card readers where compact integration and low supply current are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9002ESA+T datasheet, MAX9002ESA+T pinout, MAX9002ESA+T application, or MAX9002ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its absence of internal reference (vs. MAX9000/MAX9001), 8-pin SO package, shutdown-free operation, rail-to-rail output swing, and guaranteed 1.25MHz gain-bandwidth at unity gain - all validated across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX9002ESA+T implements a MOS-input op amp with unity-gain stability, 1.25MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 0.85V/µs slew rate - optimized for precision DC-coupled amplification and fast settling in sensor signal chains. Its comparator features bipolar inputs, ±2mV built-in hysteresis, and rail-to-rail CMOS output with 185ns propagation delay at 50mV overdrive.
Unlike MAX9000/MAX9001, the MAX9002ESA+T omits the internal 1.230V reference and exposes the comparator's inverting input (CIN–) externally - allowing user-defined thresholding with external references or resistive dividers. Input common-mode range extends from VSS – 0.15V to VDD – 1.2V (op amp) and VSS – 0.15V to VDD – 1.1V (comparator).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic systems without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 340µA typical - supports battery-powered operation for >1 year in low-duty-cycle sensing applications. |
| Op Amp GBW | 1.25MHz - ensures stable unity-gain operation with <1% gain error up to ~100kHz for sensor amplification. |
| Comparator Propagation Delay | 185ns - provides sub-500ns system response for zero-crossing detection in motor control or power conversion. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VSS – 0.15V to VDD – 1.2V (op amp); VSS – 0.15V to VDD – 1.1V (comparator) - supports ground-referenced signal conditioning. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 1mV of rails at light load - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply data acquisition front-ends. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5mV max - enables accurate DC-level shifting and differential measurement without trimming. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9002ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, surface-mount, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.0mm × 4.0mm, 1.27mm pitch). Pin 1 marked by notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AOUT) | Op-Amp Output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage with ±2.5mA drive capability; requires no external compensation for unity-gain stability. |
| 2 (AIN–) | Inverting Op-Amp Input | High-impedance MOS node; accepts signals down to VSS – 0.15V - suitable for current-to-voltage conversion. |
| 3 (AIN+) | Noninverting Op-Amp Input | High-impedance MOS node; enables high-side or ground-referenced sensing configurations. |
| 4 (VSS) | Negative Supply / Ground | Reference for all internal circuits; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 5 (CIN–) | Inverting Comparator Input | Exposed comparator input - allows external reference or resistor-divider threshold setting (no internal reference present). |
| 6 (CIN+) | Noninverting Comparator Input | Bipolar input with low bias current (<8nA); accepts slow-moving or noisy signals with ±2mV hysteresis. |
| 7 (COUT) | Comparator Output | Rail-to-rail CMOS output sinking/sourcing ±4.0mA; eliminates supply glitches via reduced switching current. |
| 8 (VDD) | Positive Supply | Single +2.5V to +5.5V supply input; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to VSS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No internal voltage reference | Enables flexible threshold design using external references or precision dividers - avoids fixed 1.230V limitation. |
| Unity-gain stable op amp | 1.25MHz GBW with 0.85V/µs slew rate - supports stable amplification of DC and low-frequency sensor signals without external compensation. |
| 185ns comparator propagation delay | Guaranteed performance at 50mV overdrive - enables real-time zero-crossing detection in AC line monitoring and motor commutation. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O with ground-sensing inputs | Full signal swing from VSS to VDD and input operation down to VSS – 0.15V - simplifies single-supply system design without level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op amp + comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9000ESA+ | Includes internal 1.230V ±1% reference; no CIN– pin - inverting comparator input tied internally to REF. | Suitable when fixed, low-drift reference is required and external thresholding is unnecessary. | Select MAX9000ESA+ only if internal reference simplifies BOM and layout; not drop-in compatible due to missing CIN– and different pinout. |
| MAX9005ESA+ | Same no-reference architecture as MAX9002ESA+T but decompensated for AV ≥10V/V; 8MHz GBW, 6.0V/µs slew rate. | Optimized for higher-gain, higher-speed amplification (e.g., active filters, gain stages), not unity-gain buffering. | Choose MAX9005ESA+ when closed-loop gain ≥10V/V is needed; incompatible for unity-gain op amp use due to instability. |
Compared with MAX9000ESA+, MAX9002ESA+T trades integrated reference for external threshold flexibility and adds CIN– accessibility; compared with MAX9005ESA+, it sacrifices high-speed gain-bandwidth for guaranteed unity-gain stability - making it the optimal choice for general-purpose single-supply amplification + comparison without reference constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX9002ESA+T?
The MAX9002ESA+T is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range is validated across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including input offset voltage, supply current, and propagation delay. The 8-pin SO package provides thermal performance consistent with JEDEC standards for this range, and no derating is required up to +85°C ambient.
Does MAX9002ESA+T include an internal voltage reference?
No, MAX9002ESA+T does not include an internal voltage reference. Unlike MAX9000ESA+ or MAX9001ESA+, the MAX9002ESA+T omits the 1.230V bandgap reference and instead exposes the comparator's inverting input (CIN–) on Pin 5. This design enables users to apply external references or resistor dividers for custom thresholding - increasing flexibility in precision level-detection applications.
What is the maximum capacitive load the op amp output can drive while remaining stable?
The op amp in MAX9002ESA+T is stable driving capacitive loads up to 250pF. This specification is explicitly guaranteed in the datasheet under "Capacitive-Load Stability" and applies to unity-gain configurations. For loads exceeding 250pF, external isolation resistance (e.g., 10Ω–50Ω series resistor) is recommended to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking or oscillation.
Can MAX9002ESA+T be used in shutdown mode?
No, MAX9002ESA+T does not support shutdown mode. Shutdown functionality is exclusive to MAX9001 and MAX9004 variants, which feature a dedicated SHDN pin. The MAX9002ESA+T lacks both the SHDN pin and internal shutdown circuitry - it operates continuously whenever powered. Its 340µA quiescent current is optimized for low-power always-on operation rather than intermittent duty cycles.
What are the key differences between MAX9002ESA+T and MAX9005ESA+?
MAX9002ESA+T uses a unity-gain stable op amp (1.25MHz GBW, 0.85V/µs), while MAX9005ESA+ uses a decompensated op amp stable only for closed-loop gains ≥10V/V (8MHz GBW, 6.0V/µs). Both omit internal references and expose CIN–, but MAX9005ESA+ cannot be used in unity-gain configurations without risk of oscillation - making MAX9002ESA+T the correct choice for buffer, gain = 1, or low-gain sensor amplification.
