Product details
Overview
MAX9022AKA from Maxim Integrated is a dual micropower comparator optimized for single-supply operation from 2.5V to 5.5V, delivering 3µs propagation delay and 2.8µA per comparator supply current across –40°C to +125°C. It features 4mV internal hysteresis, rail-to-rail output swing, and input common-mode range extending to within 1.1V of VDD - enabling reliable threshold detection in battery-powered sensor interfaces and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9022AKA datasheet, MAX9022AKA pinout, MAX9022AKA application, or MAX9022AKA equivalent, key selection considerations include ultra-low quiescent current, guaranteed hysteresis for noise immunity, dual-channel integration in SOT23-8, and automotive-grade temperature support without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX9022AKA implements two independent high-precision comparators with matched input stages, each featuring built-in 4mV hysteresis to eliminate oscillation on slow-moving or noisy inputs. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from VSS to (VDD – 1.1V), enabling direct interfacing with sensors operating near ground or rail.
The output stage delivers rail-to-rail swing with <400mV low-level and <400mV high-level voltage drop at 4mA load, while minimizing switching current transients to prevent power-supply glitches - critical for mixed-signal systems sharing analog/digital supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V single supply - enables direct use with Li-ion, coin-cell, and 3.3V/5V logic rails |
| Supply Current per Comparator | 2.8µA typical - allows >1-year battery life in always-on wake-up circuits |
| Propagation Delay | 3µs at VOD = 100mV, RL = 10kΩ, CL = 15pF - supports kHz-range signal discrimination |
| Hysteresis | 4mV built-in - eliminates false triggering from EMI or sensor noise without external feedback |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1mV typical, ±8mV max - ensures accurate thresholding in precision level-detection applications |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VSS to (VDD – 1.1V) - accommodates ground-referenced photodiode or thermistor outputs |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - drives CMOS logic directly without level-shifting circuitry |
Pinout & Package
MAX9022AKA is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with gull-wing leads. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Comparator A open-drain or push-pull output - configurable via external pull-up for logic-level compatibility |
| 2 | INA− | Comparator A inverting input - accepts signals down to VSS for ground-referenced sensing |
| 3 | INA+ | Comparator A noninverting input - used with reference or sensor signal for positive-edge detection |
| 4 | VSS | Negative supply terminal - must be connected to system ground or negative rail |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply terminal - requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to minimize supply noise |
| 6 | INB+ | Comparator B noninverting input - enables dual-threshold or window-comparator configurations |
| 7 | INB− | Comparator B inverting input - supports differential or inverted-sense signal routing |
| 8 | OUTB | Comparator B output - independently controllable for dual-channel decision logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 2.8µA per comparator - extends battery life in IoT edge nodes and wearables |
| Built-in 4mV hysteresis | Eliminates need for external positive-feedback resistors in noise-prone environments |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Drives 3.3V or 5V CMOS inputs directly without level shifters or pull-up resistors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3702IDR | Higher supply current (1.8µA per comparator vs. 2.8µA), but slower propagation delay (6µs); no built-in hysteresis | Requires external hysteresis resistors for noise immunity; better suited for low-noise, low-speed precision thresholds | Select TLV3702IDR only when lower quiescent current outweighs need for integrated hysteresis and speed |
| LMV7235M5X | Lower propagation delay (220ns), higher supply current (32µA), no internal hysteresis, rail-to-rail input | Optimized for high-speed zero-crossing; unsuitable for battery-critical applications due to 11× higher current | Choose LMV7235M5X only when sub-microsecond response is mandatory and power budget permits |
Compared with TLV3702IDR and LMV7235M5X, the MAX9022AKA uniquely balances ultra-low power, integrated noise immunity, and automotive temperature support in a space-saving SOT23-8 package - making it optimal for always-on, battery-constrained detection systems where reliability and component count matter.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX9022AKA?
The MAX9022AKA is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting automotive AEC-Q100 stress-test requirements. This full range is guaranteed for all electrical parameters including supply current, propagation delay, and input offset voltage - enabling deployment in under-hood, industrial, and outdoor equipment without derating.
Does MAX9022AKA require external hysteresis components?
No, the MAX9022AKA includes 4mV of internal hysteresis, eliminating the need for external positive-feedback resistors in most noise-immunity applications. This built-in feature ensures stable switching even with slow-moving or noisy input signals, reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area versus comparators requiring external hysteresis networks.
Can MAX9022AKA operate from a 2.5V single supply?
Yes, the MAX9022AKA is fully specified to operate from a 2.5V single supply up to 5.5V. At 2.5V, it maintains 2.8µA supply current per comparator, 3µs propagation delay, and rail-to-rail output swing - making it compatible with coin-cell and single-Li-ion battery systems without voltage boosting.
What package type is used for MAX9022AKA?
The MAX9022AKA uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8-5), with JEDEC MO-178AA dimensions of 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm. This ultra-small outline supports high-density layouts and automated assembly, and is pin-compatible with other dual comparators in the same footprint such as the MAX9022AUA (µMAX) and MAX9022ASA (SO).
Is MAX9022AKA suitable for photodiode current-to-voltage conversion circuits?
While the MAX9022AKA itself is not a transimpedance amplifier, it is commonly paired with photodiode preamp circuits as the final-stage comparator. Its input bias current of 3nA typical and common-mode range extending to VSS allow direct interface with op-amp-based TIA outputs - enabling precise, low-power optical pulse detection in smoke alarms and optical encoders.
