Product details
Overview
MAX9031AUK+G55 from Maxim Integrated is a single, rail-to-rail output comparator optimized for low-power, single-supply operation from +2.5V to +5.5V, featuring 188ns propagation delay, 35µA supply current per comparator, and 4mV internal hysteresis. It operates across -40°C to +125°C and is used in portable sensor signal detection and battery-powered threshold discrimination.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9031AUK+G55 datasheet, MAX9031AUK+G55 pinout, MAX9031AUK+G55 application, or MAX9031AUK+G55 equivalent, key selection criteria include input common-mode range (VSS to VDD – 1.1V), no phase reversal under overdrive, rail-to-rail output swing, and ultra-small 5-pin SOT23 footprint suitability for space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX9031AUK+G55 implements a CMOS comparator core with internal hysteresis to prevent oscillation on slow-moving inputs. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages up to VDD – 1.1V and exhibits ±5mV max input offset voltage with ±1µV/°C drift.
Output switching minimizes power-supply glitches via reduced transition current, and the rail-to-rail output drives loads up to 150pF without sustained oscillation. Propagation delay remains stable across temperature (-40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage (2.5V–5.5V), with typical 188ns at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct integration into Li-ion and 3.3V logic systems without level shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 188ns typical at 100mV overdrive - supports fast edge detection in digital line receivers and photodiode preamp interfaces. |
| Supply Current | 35µA per comparator - allows continuous operation in multi-year battery-powered applications such as keyless entry sensors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±5mV max - ensures reliable threshold detection within ±2.5mV accuracy at room temperature and full industrial range. |
| Hysteresis | 4mV built-in - eliminates noise-induced chatter on slowly varying signals like thermistor or potentiometer outputs. |
| Common-Mode Range | VSS to VDD – 1.1V - permits direct sensing of ground-referenced analog signals without external biasing networks. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full logic-level compatibility with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers and FPGA I/O banks. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX9031AUK+G55 is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+1), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body size, and exposed pad optional for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN−) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; accepts signals up to VDD – 1.1V; high impedance (8nA max bias current). |
| 2 (IN+) | Noninverting Input | Differential input node; same common-mode and bias specs as IN−; used for reference or signal routing. |
| 3 (OUT) | Comparator Output | Rail-to-rail CMOS output; sinks or sources up to 4mA; compatible with TTL/CMOS logic families. |
| 4 (VSS) | Negative Supply | Ground reference; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor close to pin for noise immunity. |
| 5 (VDD) | Positive Supply | +2.5V to +5.5V supply input; also requires local 0.1µF bypass to suppress switching transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No Phase Reversal | Guaranteed under input overdrive - prevents false triggering when inputs exceed common-mode limits during transient events. |
| Low Switching Glitch | Minimized output transition current - reduces coupling into sensitive analog sections and improves system-level EMI performance. |
| Temperature-Stable Delay | 188ns propagation delay maintained across -40°C to +125°C - enables consistent timing in automotive and industrial environments. |
| High PSRR/CMRR | 72dB min power-supply and common-mode rejection - maintains accuracy despite supply ripple or shared ground noise. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable with up to 150pF load - supports direct connection to long PCB traces or downstream logic without external buffering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV331IDBVR | Higher 80µA supply current; 300ns propagation delay; no built-in hysteresis. | Requires external hysteresis network; less suitable for ultra-low-power or noise-prone environments. | Preferred where cost is primary constraint and board area allows external resistor network. |
| TLV3601DBVR | 2.5ns propagation delay; 85µA supply current; rail-to-rail input; no internal hysteresis. | Optimized for high-speed >10MHz applications; lacks integrated noise immunity for slow signals. | Select when sub-10ns response is mandatory and external hysteresis can be added. |
Compared with LMV331IDBVR and TLV3601DBVR, the MAX9031AUK+G55 uniquely balances ultra-low power (35µA), fast yet deterministic delay (188ns), and factory-trimmed 4mV hysteresis - making it optimal for battery-critical, noise-sensitive, and space-constrained industrial sensor nodes without design overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX9031AUK+G55?
The MAX9031AUK+G55 is specified for continuous operation from -40°C to +125°C. This extended industrial temperature range is guaranteed across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including propagation delay, supply current, and input offset voltage, making MAX9031AUK+G55 suitable for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial control modules.
Does MAX9031AUK+G55 include internal hysteresis, and how does it affect circuit design?
Yes, MAX9031AUK+G55 includes 4mV of factory-trimmed internal hysteresis. This eliminates the need for external positive feedback resistors in most noise-prone applications, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. The hysteresis band is centered on the input offset voltage, ensuring predictable switching thresholds without additional calibration - a key advantage of MAX9031AUK+G55 over generic comparators.
Can MAX9031AUK+G55 operate from a 2.5V supply, and what performance trade-offs occur?
Yes, MAX9031AUK+G55 is fully specified down to +2.5V single supply. At 2.5V, propagation delay increases to ~228ns (vs. 188ns at 5V), and output swing remains rail-to-rail but with slightly reduced drive strength. Supply current stays at 35µA typical. This makes MAX9031AUK+G55 ideal for direct connection to single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell systems where headroom is minimal.
Is MAX9031AUK+G55 pin-compatible with other comparators in the MAX903x family?
No, MAX9031AUK+G55 is not pin-compatible with MAX9030 (6-pin SC70/SOT23 with SHDN) or MAX9032 (8-pin SOT23 dual). It uses a dedicated 5-pin SOT23 pinout (IN−, IN+, OUT, VSS, VDD) with no shutdown function. Pin compatibility is limited to identical variants - e.g., MAX9031AXK+ (5-pin SC70) shares the same pinout but differs in package dimensions and thermal characteristics.
What is the maximum capacitive load MAX9031AUK+G55 can drive without oscillation?
MAX9031AUK+G55 is characterized to drive up to 150pF without sustained oscillation, as verified in the datasheet's "Maximum Capacitive Load" specification. This allows direct connection to long PCB traces, scope probes, or downstream logic gates without series termination or buffer stages - a verified capability of MAX9031AUK+G55 that simplifies interface design in compact layouts.
