Product details
Overview
MAX9019EKA+TG0N from Maxim Integrated is a dual, nanoPower, precision comparator in an 8-pin SOT23 package with push-pull outputs, Beyond-the-Rails™ inputs (VEE − 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V), 0.85μA supply current at 1.8V, and internal 4mV hysteresis - designed for ultra-low-power 2-cell battery monitoring and ground-referenced sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9019EKA+TG0N datasheet, MAX9019EKA+TG0N pinout, MAX9019EKA+TG0N application, or MAX9019EKA+TG0N equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases in medical telemetry and notebook power management, and validated alternative options for mixed-voltage or reference-integrated designs.
Technical Context
The MAX9019EKA+TG0N implements a rail-to-rail input stage supporting common-mode voltages beyond supply rails by ±200mV, paired with a crowbar-current-free push-pull output stage capable of ±6mA drive. Its internal 4mV hysteresis band eliminates oscillation under slow-moving or noisy inputs without external components.
Unlike open-drain variants (e.g., MAX9020), MAX9019EKA+TG0N provides active high/low output switching with no external pull-up required, enabling direct interfacing with CMOS logic and reducing BOM count in space-constrained portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 0.85μA at 1.8V - enables >1,300k hours (150+ years) of operation on a 2000mAh alkaline AA cell pair. |
| Input Voltage Range | VEE − 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V - supports sensing at ground or supply rail without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Drive | ±6mA rail-to-rail swing - directly drives LEDs, MOSFET gates, or logic inputs without buffer stages. |
| Hysteresis | 4mV internal - prevents chatter on slow signals (e.g., thermistor or battery voltage ramps) without external feedback. |
| Propagation Delay | 6µs at 5V (tPD−), 28µs at 5V (tPD+) - sufficient for battery voltage threshold detection and window monitoring at <1kHz update rates. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8V to 5.5V - compatible with single Li-ion (2.9–3.6V), dual alkaline (1.8–3.0V), and NiMH (1.8–2.4V) battery stacks. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤5mV (max) over −40°C to +85°C - ensures accurate trip-point stability across temperature in medical and industrial sensors. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9019EKA+TG0N is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 1.25mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | REF | Not connected - pin 1 is NC (no internal connection) per MAX9019 functional diagram and pin description. |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input of Comparator A - accepts signals down to VEE − 0.2V, enabling ground-referenced threshold detection. |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input of Comparator A - used with IN− to configure A as high-side or low-side detector. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply terminal - typically GND; supports operation with split supplies if needed. |
| 5, 8 | N.C. | No connection - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
| 6 | OUTA | Push-pull output of Comparator A - actively drives high/low; sinks and sources up to ±6mA. |
| 7 | VCC | Positive supply terminal - powers both comparators and output stage; bypassing recommended for noisy rails. |
| - | INA− / INB+ | Pin 2 serves INA−; pin 3 serves INB+ - shared pins enable compact dual-channel configuration per MAX9019 pinout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual nanoPower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9020EKA+TG0N | Open-drain output; identical pinout and supply current; requires external pull-up resistor. | Suitable for wired-OR logic, mixed-voltage I/O (e.g., 3.3V comparator driving 5V bus), or level translation. | Select MAX9020EKA+TG0N when interfacing with higher-voltage logic or implementing shared interrupt lines. |
| TLV3692IDGKR | 0.9μA supply current; rail-to-rail I/O; no internal hysteresis; 1.8V to 5.5V operation; SC70-8 package. | Lacks integrated hysteresis - requires external feedback resistors for noise immunity; smaller footprint but lower drive (±20mA). | Choose TLV3692IDGKR only if board space is critical and hysteresis can be added externally without compromising layout. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX9019EKA+TG0N?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC to VEE) for MAX9019EKA+TG0N is 6V. The recommended operating range is 1.8V to 5.5V, ensuring reliable performance across single Li-ion, dual alkaline, and NiMH battery configurations. Exceeding 6V risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does MAX9019EKA+TG0N include an internal voltage reference?
No, MAX9019EKA+TG0N does not include an internal voltage reference. It belongs to the "duals without REF" variant (per datasheet section "Electrical Characteristics-MAX9019/MAX9020"). Reference functionality is present only in MAX9015–MAX9018 (A/B-grade) variants. MAX9019EKA+TG0N relies on external reference or resistor-divider networks for threshold setting.
Can MAX9019EKA+TG0N operate with inputs below ground (VEE)?
Yes, MAX9019EKA+TG0N supports input voltages as low as VEE − 0.2V, enabling true ground-referenced or negative-sense applications without level-shifting circuitry. This Beyond-the-Rails™ capability is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Input Common-Mode Voltage Range" and validated in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
What is the output drive capability of MAX9019EKA+TG0N?
MAX9019EKA+TG0N features a push-pull output stage capable of sourcing and sinking up to ±6mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing. At VCC = 5V and ISINK = 6mA, VOL is guaranteed ≤350mV; at VCC = 1.8V and ISOURCE = 1mA, VCC − VOH is ≤200mV - sufficient to drive logic inputs, small LEDs, or MOSFET gates directly.
Is MAX9019EKA+TG0N pin-compatible with MAX9017EKA+TG0N?
No, MAX9019EKA+TG0N is not pin-compatible with MAX9017EKA+TG0N. While both use the 8-pin SOT23 package, MAX9017 includes an internal 1.24V reference connected to pin 1 (REF/INA−), whereas MAX9019 has pin 1 as NC and uses pin 2 exclusively as INA−. Swapping them requires PCB redesign due to differing pin functions and internal routing.
