Product details
Overview
MAX9005ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, high-speed, single-supply analog IC integrating a decompensated operational amplifier (AV ≥10V/V, 8MHz GBW), a 185ns comparator, and no internal voltage reference. It operates from +2.5V to +5.5V, draws 340µA quiescent current at 5V, supports rail-to-rail output swing (±4mA drive), and features ground-sensing inputs extending to within 1.2V of VDD for the op amp and 1.1V for the comparator - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered photodiode preamps and zero-crossing detectors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9005ESA+ datasheet, MAX9005ESA+ pinout, MAX9005ESA+ application, or MAX9005ESA+ equivalent, this device is selected when a stable gain-of-10+ op amp, fast comparator with ±2mV hysteresis, and external reference flexibility are required - especially where space-constrained SO-8 packaging, low supply current, and rail-to-rail operation at 2.5V–5.5V are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX9005ESA+ implements a decompensated CMOS op amp optimized for closed-loop gains ≥10V/V, delivering 8MHz gain-bandwidth and 6.0V/µs slew rate while maintaining stability with capacitive loads up to 250pF. Its comparator uses bipolar differential inputs with ±2mV built-in hysteresis and achieves 185ns propagation delay at 50mV overdrive, with rail-to-rail CMOS output capable of ±4.0mA drive.
Unlike MAX9000/MAX9001/MAX9003/MAX9004, the MAX9005ESA+ omits the internal 1.230V reference and exposes the comparator's inverting input (CIN−) externally - allowing flexible reference sourcing (e.g., external DAC or precision resistor divider) and eliminating reference-related tempco or load-regulation constraints.

Applications
| Photodiode Preamp | Zero-Crossing Detector |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying weak current from ambient light or pulse oximetry photodiodes into clean voltage for ADC sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Op amp configured as transimpedance amplifier (TIA) with gain ≥10V/V; comparator monitors TIA output for event-triggered sampling. Use Value: 8MHz GBW and 6.0V/µs slew rate preserve signal integrity of fast optical pulses; 340µA current enables multi-channel battery-powered designs. |
Use Scenario: Detecting AC line zero crossings in smart energy meters or motor controllers using resistive-divider-scaled mains voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares scaled AC waveform against ground (CIN− = VSS) with built-in hysteresis to reject noise near zero. Use Value: ±2mV hysteresis prevents chatter on slow-moving zero-crossings; rail-to-rail output directly drives microcontroller interrupt pins. |
| Smart Card Reader Interface | Infrared Receiver Front-End |
|
Use Scenario: Conditioning ISO 7816-3 card clock and data signals in portable payment terminals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Op amp buffers and levels card CLK; comparator detects card presence via voltage threshold on I/O line. Use Value: Ground-sensing inputs accept card voltages referenced to VSS; 185ns comparator delay ensures accurate bit timing at 5MHz card rates. |
Use Scenario: Demodulating 30–56kHz carrier-modulated IR signals from remote controls in consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Op amp amplifies filtered IR detector output; comparator converts analog envelope to clean digital pulse train. Use Value: 8MHz op amp bandwidth preserves envelope fidelity; comparator's low input bias (<8nA) avoids loading high-Z detector outputs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op amp + comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9002ESA+ | Identical pinout, same 340µA supply current and 8MHz GBW op amp, but includes internal 1.230V reference (±1%, 8ppm/°C). | Requires no external reference; less flexible threshold control due to fixed internal reference tied to CIN−. | Select MAX9002ESA+ if a stable, factory-trimmed reference suffices and board space for external components must be minimized. |
| TLV3604IDR | Single 180ns comparator only (no op amp or reference); 1.8V–5.5V supply; 40µA supply current; open-drain output. | Lacks integrated amplification and reference - requires separate op amp and reference ICs for full signal chain. | Select TLV3604IDR only when comparator-only function is needed and ultra-low power (<50µA) is prioritized over integration. |
Compared with MAX9002ESA+, MAX9005ESA+ trades internal reference convenience for external threshold flexibility and identical op amp/comparator performance; versus TLV3604IDR, it delivers full analog signal conditioning in one SO-8 package at higher current cost but with significant BOM and layout simplification.

FAQ
What is the maximum closed-loop gain supported by the op amp in MAX9005ESA+?
The op amp in MAX9005ESA+ is decompensated and stable only for closed-loop gains of +10V/V or greater. Attempting unity-gain or gains below 10V/V may cause instability or oscillation. This design enables its 8MHz gain-bandwidth product and 6.0V/µs slew rate - making MAX9005ESA+ optimal for high-gain, high-speed signal conditioning tasks like photodiode transimpedance amplification.
Does MAX9005ESA+ include an internal voltage reference?
No, MAX9005ESA+ does not include an internal voltage reference. Unlike MAX9000/MAX9001/MAX9003/MAX9004, the MAX9005ESA+ exposes the comparator's inverting input (CIN−) externally to allow user-defined threshold sources - such as external DACs, resistor dividers, or precision references - giving full flexibility in trip-point selection without reference-related tempco or load-regulation limitations.
What is the typical supply current of MAX9005ESA+ at 3.3V operation?
At +3.3V supply and +25°C, the typical supply current of MAX9005ESA+ is 375µA, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This value remains stable across temperature (±10% variation from −40°C to +85°C) and scales linearly with supply voltage - enabling accurate power budgeting in 3.3V battery-powered systems like portable IR receivers and smart card terminals.
Can the comparator output of MAX9005ESA+ drive a 10kΩ load directly?
Yes, the comparator output (COUT) of MAX9005ESA+ can drive a 10kΩ load directly while maintaining rail-to-rail swing (VOL < 10mV, VOH > VDD −10mV at 5V). Its ±4.0mA output drive capability ensures full logic-level compatibility with 3.3V/5V microcontrollers and FPGAs - eliminating need for external pull-ups or buffer stages in zero-crossing or event-detection applications.
Is MAX9005ESA+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX9000 family?
MAX9005ESA+ shares the same 8-pin SO package and pinout as MAX9000ESA+, MAX9002ESA+, and MAX9003ESA+, including identical VDD, VSS, AIN+, AIN−, AOUT, CIN+, CIN−, and COUT assignments. However, functional differences exist: MAX9000/MAX9003 include internal reference (tied to CIN−), while MAX9005ESA+ leaves CIN− fully external - requiring careful schematic review before drop-in replacement.
