Product details
Overview
MAX9027EBT-T from Maxim Integrated is a nanopower, Beyond-the-Rails™ comparator with push-pull output, no internal reference, 0.6µA supply current at 1.8V, guaranteed operation down to +1.8V supply, and rail-to-rail output swing up to ±5mA - designed for precision low-voltage battery-monitoring circuits in portable medical and telemetry systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9027EBT-T datasheet, MAX9027EBT-T pinout, MAX9027EBT-T application, or MAX9027EBT-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, UCSP package layout, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for ultra-low-power sensing and voltage threshold detection.
Technical Context
The MAX9027EBT-T employs a BiCMOS input stage with common-mode range extending 200mV beyond the rails (VEE − 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V) and features internal 4mV hysteresis to suppress noise-induced oscillation. Its break-before-make push-pull output stage eliminates crowbar current, limiting supply-current surges during switching.
Unlike open-drain variants (e.g., MAX9028), the MAX9027EBT-T sources and sinks up to ±5mA while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing - enabling direct interface with CMOS logic and eliminating external pull-up components in single-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 0.6µA typical at VCC = 1.8V - enables >2.8 million hours of operation on two AA alkaline cells |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to partially discharged 2-cell batteries without regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.3–10mV over temperature - ensures stable trip-point accuracy in battery voltage monitoring |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE − 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V - allows sensing at ground or supply line without level-shifting |
| Output Drive Capability | ±5mA rail-to-rail swing - directly drives logic inputs or small loads without buffering |
| Propagation Delay | 14µs (high-to-low) / 40µs (low-to-high) at VCC = 5V - balances speed and ultra-low power in wake-up circuits |
| Input Bias Current | 0.15–2nA - minimizes error in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., thermistors) |
Pinout & Package
MAX9027EBT-T uses a 6-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) measuring 1.0mm × 1.52mm with bumps on bottom. The package is RoHS-compliant and optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (A1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.8V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and output stage |
| VEE (A3/B2) | Negative supply input | Typically GND; defines lower rail for input common-mode and output swing |
| IN+ (B1) | Noninverting input | Accepts signals up to VEE − 0.2V or VCC + 0.2V - enables beyond-the-rails sensing |
| IN− (B3) | Inverting input | Same rail-to-rail+200mV range as IN+; used for threshold comparison or zero-crossing detection |
| OUT (A2) | Push-pull output | Sources/sinks up to ±5mA; swings rail-to-rail without external pull-up |
| REF (N/C) | No connect | Not bonded - MAX9027 has no internal reference; pin left unconnected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Beyond-the-Rails™ input range | Enables direct sensing of signals below ground or above VCC - critical for battery cell voltage monitoring at end-of-life |
| 0.6µA supply current | Reduces average system power by >50% vs. reference-equipped variants - extends battery life in always-on telemetry nodes |
| Internal 4mV hysteresis | Eliminates need for external feedback resistors in noisy environments - simplifies PCB layout and BOM |
| Crowbar-current-free switching | Prevents supply glitches during output transitions - avoids interference with sensitive analog sensors on shared rails |
| Rail-to-rail push-pull output | Drives CMOS logic directly across full VCC–VEE range - removes level-shifters in mixed-voltage subsystems |
Applications
| 2-Cell Battery Monitoring | Ultra-Low-Power Telemetry |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring individual cell voltages in dual-cell Li-ion or NiMH packs to detect under-voltage shutdown thresholds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision comparator detecting when cell voltage drops below 2.7V or 1.8V cutoff points. Use Value: 0.6µA quiescent current enables continuous monitoring without depleting backup batteries over years of storage. |
Use Scenario: Wake-up trigger in remote environmental sensors that transmit data only upon threshold breach (e.g., temperature excursion). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power voltage window detector initiating MCU wake-up via interrupt signal. Use Value: Beyond-the-rails inputs allow direct connection to thermistor divider outputs referenced to battery ground - no op-amp buffer needed. |
| Medical Instrument Sensing | Logic-Level Translation |
Use Scenario: Detecting ECG electrode contact loss by monitoring impedance shift across skin interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-impedance input comparator comparing AC-coupled signal amplitude against reference threshold. Use Value: 0.15nA input bias current prevents loading of high-Z electrode circuits - preserves signal integrity. |
Use Scenario: Converting 5V microcontroller GPIO outputs to 3.3V-compatible signals for low-voltage peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Push-pull output driving 3.3V logic rail directly - no pull-up resistor required. Use Value: Eliminates external component count and board area vs. open-drain alternatives like MAX9028. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9025EBT-T | Includes 1.236V ±1% internal reference; 1.0µA supply current | Used where fixed reference simplifies threshold setting (e.g., battery overvoltage protection) | Select MAX9025EBT-T when reference integration reduces external component count and 0.4µA extra current is acceptable |
| TLV3691IDCKR | 0.55µA supply current; rail-to-rail I/O; no internal reference; SC70-5 package | Higher propagation delay (25µs); lacks Beyond-the-Rails input capability | Choose TLV3691IDCKR only if UCSP footprint is not required and input range limited to rail-referenced signals |
Compared with MAX9025EBT-T, the MAX9027EBT-T trades integrated reference for 40% lower supply current and maintains identical pinout and performance - ideal when external threshold generation is preferred. Against TLV3691IDCKR, it offers superior input range and faster response but requires UCSP assembly capability.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for MAX9027EBT-T?
The MAX9027EBT-T operates from 1.8V to 5.5V. It is guaranteed functional down to +1.8V, making it suitable for direct connection to aging 2-cell alkaline or NiMH batteries without regulation. Absolute maximum rating is +6V between VCC and VEE.
Does MAX9027EBT-T include an internal voltage reference?
No, MAX9027EBT-T does not include an internal voltage reference. Unlike MAX9025EBT-T or MAX9026EBT-T, it omits the 1.236V reference to achieve lower 0.6µA supply current. The REF pin is not bonded and must remain unconnected in PCB layout.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of MAX9027EBT-T?
The MAX9027EBT-T features a Beyond-the-Rails™ input stage with common-mode range from VEE − 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V. This allows valid operation when either input is driven 200mV below ground or 200mV above VCC - essential for ground-referenced battery sensing.
Can MAX9027EBT-T drive a 5mA load rail-to-rail?
Yes, MAX9027EBT-T's push-pull output delivers rail-to-rail swing with ±5mA source/sink capability. At VCC = 5V and ISINK = 5mA, VOL is ≤500mV; at VCC = 1.8V and ISINK = 1mA, VOL is ≤300mV - ensuring robust logic-level compatibility.
What package type and dimensions does MAX9027EBT-T use?
MAX9027EBT-T uses a 6-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) measuring 1.0mm × 1.52mm with bumps on the bottom side. It is RoHS-compliant, marked "ADD" on top, and rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C.
