Product details
Overview
MAX9005ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, high-speed, single-supply analog IC integrating a decompensated operational amplifier (GBW = 8MHz, AV ≥ 10V/V), a 185ns comparator with ±2mV internal hysteresis, and no internal voltage reference. It operates from +2.5V to +5.5V, draws 340µA quiescent current at 5V, supports rail-to-rail outputs (±4mA comparator drive), and features ground-sensing inputs (down to VSS − 150mV). It is used in photodiode preamps, zero-crossing detectors, and sensor signal conditioning where compact integration and fast response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9005ESA+T datasheet, MAX9005ESA+T pinout, MAX9005ESA+T application, or MAX9005ESA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions for SO-8 package, real-world design implications of its 8MHz GBW and 185ns propagation delay, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX9005ESA+T implements a decompensated op amp optimized for closed-loop gains ≥10V/V, delivering 8MHz gain-bandwidth and 6.0V/µs slew rate - enabling high-speed signal conditioning without stability compromises. Its comparator uses bipolar input stage with rail-to-rail CMVR (VSS − 150mV to VDD − 1.1V) and proprietary output architecture that minimizes supply glitches during transitions.
No internal reference is present; the CIN− pin is externally accessible (unlike MAX9000/MAX9003), allowing flexible threshold configuration. Input offset voltage is ±1.5mV max over temperature, and comparator hysteresis remains stable at ±2mV across −40°C to +85°C - critical for noise-immune edge detection in industrial sensors.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery systems and 3.3V/5V logic without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 340µA at 5V - supports always-on sensor nodes with multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Op Amp Gain-Bandwidth | 8MHz at AV ≥ 10V/V - allows stable amplification of >1MHz signals (e.g., IR receiver bursts) with minimal phase lag. |
| Comparator Propagation Delay | 185ns at 50mV overdrive - ensures sub-200ns response for zero-crossing detection in motor control timing loops. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VSS − 150mV to VDD − 1.1V - permits direct sensing of ground-referenced transducer outputs without bias resistors. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Drive | ±4.0mA comparator / ±2.5mA op amp - drives 1kΩ loads directly while maintaining full swing (e.g., TTL-compatible logic inputs). |
| Comparator Hysteresis | ±2mV input-referred - suppresses chatter on slow-moving signals like thermistor outputs or proximity sensor ramps. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9005ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 150mil width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 4 (VSS) | Negative Supply / Ground | Reference for all internal circuits; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 5 (CIN−) | Inverting Comparator Input | Externally accessible threshold input - enables custom reference or hysteresis via external resistor divider. |

| 7 (COUT) | Comparator Output | Rail-to-rail CMOS output driving ±4mA; compatible with 74HC logic and microcontroller interrupt pins. |
| 8 (VDD) | Positive Supply | +2.5V to +5.5V input; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Decompensated op amp | Stable at AV ≥ 10V/V with 8MHz GBW - eliminates need for external compensation capacitors in gain-of-10 sensor amps. |
| Comparator with built-in hysteresis | ±2mV input-referred hysteresis - prevents false triggering on EMI-coupled or noisy sensor lines without external components. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Outputs swing within 5mV of VSS/VDD - maximizes dynamic range for 12-bit ADCs operating on 3.3V supplies. |
| Ground-sensing inputs | Operates with inputs down to VSS − 150mV - enables direct connection to current-output sensors (e.g., 4–20mA loop receivers). |
| No internal reference | CIN− pin exposed - allows precise external threshold setting using precision resistors or DACs for programmable trip points. |

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). | Eliminates external reference for fixed-threshold comparators; adds 1mA reference sink/source capability. | Select MAX9002ESA+ when a stable internal reference simplifies BOM and layout - e.g., in cost-sensitive consumer devices with fixed trip points. |
| TLV3701IDBVR | Single comparator only (no op amp or reference); 1.8V–5.5V supply; 350ns propagation delay; 12µA supply current. | Lacks integrated amplification - requires external op amp for signal conditioning; ultra-low power suits long-life battery apps. | Select TLV3701IDBVR when only comparator functionality is needed and power budget is <10µA - e.g., wake-up circuits in wearables. |
Compared with MAX9002ESA+, MAX9005ESA+ trades internal reference capability for reduced die area and lower cost in applications where threshold is set externally; versus TLV3701IDBVR, it delivers integrated signal conditioning at higher speed but with 30× higher quiescent current - ideal for space-constrained industrial sensors needing both gain and decision logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum closed-loop gain supported by the op amp in MAX9005ESA+T?
The op amp in MAX9005ESA+T is decompensated and stable only for closed-loop gains of +10V/V or greater. Attempting unity-gain or gains below 10V/V will cause instability and oscillation. This design enables its 8MHz gain-bandwidth product and 6.0V/µs slew rate - making MAX9005ESA+T optimal for fixed-gain sensor signal chains, not general-purpose amplification.
Does MAX9005ESA+T include an internal voltage reference?
No, MAX9005ESA+T does not include an internal voltage reference. Unlike MAX9000/MAX9002/MAX9003, it exposes the CIN− pin externally, allowing designers to set custom comparator thresholds using external resistors, DACs, or precision references. This provides flexibility in multi-voltage systems where fixed 1.230V thresholds are unsuitable.
What is the purpose of the ±2mV hysteresis in the MAX9005ESA+T comparator?
The ±2mV input-referred hysteresis in MAX9005ESA+T prevents output oscillation when the input signal changes slowly near the switching threshold - common with thermistors, potentiometers, or noisy sensor outputs. It ensures clean, chatter-free digital edges without requiring external positive feedback resistors, simplifying PCB layout and improving reliability in industrial environments.
Can MAX9005ESA+T operate from a 2.5V supply?
Yes, MAX9005ESA+T is fully specified from +2.5V to +5.5V. At 2.5V, it maintains rail-to-rail output swing (within 5mV of rails), 185ns comparator propagation delay, and 340µA typical supply current. Its ground-sensing inputs (down to VSS − 150mV) enable direct interfacing with 2.5V logic and low-voltage transducers without level shifters.
How does the MAX9005ESA+T comparator minimize power-supply glitches?
MAX9005ESA+T uses a proprietary CMOS output stage that substantially reduces cross-conduction current during output transitions. This design limits transient current spikes into the VDD rail - preventing the supply voltage droop or noise that can disrupt adjacent analog circuits or microcontrollers, a critical advantage in mixed-signal systems where clean power integrity is essential.
