Product details
Overview
MAX9031AXK+TG05 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 - deployed in battery-powered portable systems and sensor signal detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9031AXK+TG05 datasheet, MAX9031AXK+TG05 pinout, MAX9031AXK+TG05 application, or MAX9031AXK+TG05 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-5 package mapping, functional role in threshold detection, and validated alternative comparators for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX9031AXK+TG05 implements a CMOS input stage with rail-to-rail output swing, enabling full dynamic range utilization across its +2.5V to +5.5V single-supply range. Its input common-mode voltage extends from VSS to (VDD – 1.1V), supporting wide-swing sensor interfaces without level-shifting.
Internal 4mV hysteresis eliminates oscillation on slow-moving inputs, while propagation delay remains stable at 188ns (typ) under 15pF load and 100mV overdrive. Output switching current is minimized to suppress power-supply glitches during transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - supports direct Li-ion and 3.3V system rail interfacing without regulation. |
| Propagation Delay | 188ns typical - enables reliable timing-critical detection in digital line receivers and photodiode preamp outputs. |
| Supply Current | 35µA per comparator - allows continuous operation in multi-year battery-powered applications. |
| Hysteresis | 4mV built-in - provides noise immunity without external feedback components in threshold discriminators. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1mV (min), ±5mV (max) - ensures accurate trip-point stability across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - delivers full logic-high/low compatibility with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V digital controllers. |
| Common-Mode Range | VSS to (VDD – 1.1V) - accommodates ground-referenced sensors and high-side current sense signals. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9031AXK+TG05 is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0076), footprint-compatible with SOT23-5 but 30% smaller - ideal for space-constrained portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN− | Inverting input | Accepts reference or inverted signal path; supports common-mode down to VSS. |
| 2 - VSS | Negative supply / ground | Must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to minimize noise coupling into sensitive inputs. |
| 3 - IN+ | Noninverting input | Primary signal input for threshold comparison; matched bias current minimizes offset error. |
| 4 - OUT | Comparator output | Rail-to-rail CMOS output capable of sourcing/sinking 4mA with <400mV drop at full load. |
| 5 - VDD | Positive supply | Single-supply input; PSRR ≥72dB ensures stable operation despite rail ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal on overdriven inputs | Prevents false triggering when input exceeds common-mode range - critical for fault-tolerant sensor monitoring. |
| Low 35µA quiescent current | Enables always-on wake-up circuitry in ultra-low-power IoT endpoints without compromising response latency. |
| 188ns propagation delay with 15pF load | Supports >1MHz signal edge detection in photodiode preamps and digital line receivers. |
| 4mV internal hysteresis | Eliminates need for external positive feedback resistors in basic threshold detectors - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Input bias current ≤80nA | Minimizes loading error on high-impedance sources such as thermistors and piezoelectric sensors. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Systems | Sensor Signal Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage against low-battery cutoff thresholds in handheld medical devices and wearables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator performing precise voltage window detection with rail-to-rail output compatible with MCU GPIO. Use Value: 35µA supply current extends battery life; 4mV hysteresis prevents chatter near trip point during gradual discharge. |
Use Scenario: Converting analog output from ambient light or temperature sensors into clean digital logic levels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Threshold discriminator converting slow-moving sensor signals into TTL/CMOS-compatible pulses. Use Value: Input common-mode range extending to VSS enables direct connection to ground-referenced sensors; no level-shifting required. |
| Photodiode Preamps | Digital Line Receivers |
Use Scenario: Amplifying and digitizing weak photocurrent pulses in optical smoke detectors or pulse oximeters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed comparator capturing fast photodiode transients with minimal propagation delay jitter. Use Value: 188ns propagation delay ensures sub-microsecond response to light pulses; rail-to-rail output drives downstream logic directly. |
Use Scenario: Recovering digital data from attenuated or noisy communication lines in automotive body control modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Data slicer comparing incoming signal to adaptive or fixed reference voltage. Use Value: No phase reversal guarantees deterministic output even during signal overshoot; 72dB PSRR rejects supply noise coupling into decision threshold. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3701IDBVR | Higher 65µA supply current; 360ns propagation delay; no built-in hysteresis. | Requires external hysteresis resistors; less suitable for ultra-low-power or noise-prone environments. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs power/performance trade-offs and board space permits external components. |
| LMV7215M5X | Lower 25µA supply current but only 125ns propagation delay; 6mV hysteresis; operates down to +2.7V. | Marginally higher minimum supply voltage limits use with 2.5V rails; tighter hysteresis improves noise margin. | Prefer for 2.7V+ systems prioritizing lowest possible current draw where 125ns speed suffices. |
Compared with TLV3701IDBVR and LMV7215M5X, MAX9031AXK+TG05 uniquely balances 35µA current, 188ns speed, and integrated 4mV hysteresis in a 5-pin SC70 - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive designs requiring robust noise immunity without external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX9031AXK+TG05?
The MAX9031AXK+TG05 is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C. This automotive-grade temperature range is guaranteed by design and validated across all electrical parameters including propagation delay, supply current, and input offset voltage - making MAX9031AXK+TG05 suitable for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial field equipment.
Does MAX9031AXK+TG05 include internal hysteresis, and how does it affect circuit design?
Yes, MAX9031AXK+TG05 includes 4mV of built-in hysteresis, defined as the difference between rising and falling input trip points. This eliminates oscillation on slow-moving or noisy inputs - allowing MAX9031AXK+TG05 to operate reliably without external positive-feedback resistors in basic threshold detection circuits, reducing component count and PCB area.
What is the maximum capacitive load MAX9031AXK+TG05 can drive without instability?
MAX9031AXK+TG05 is characterized for stable operation with up to 150pF of capacitive load, as confirmed by the "Maximum Capacitive Load" specification in the datasheet. Driving loads beyond 150pF may cause sustained oscillations or increased propagation delay - so for higher-capacitance traces or bus interfaces, a series resistor or buffer stage is recommended alongside MAX9031AXK+TG05.
Can MAX9031AXK+TG05 be used with a 2.5V supply, and what performance trade-offs occur?
Yes, MAX9031AXK+TG05 is fully specified down to +2.5V single supply. At 2.5V, supply current remains at 35µA (typ), propagation delay increases slightly to ~220ns (per typical curves), and output swing maintains rail-to-rail behavior - confirming MAX9031AXK+TG05's suitability for direct integration with 2.5V microcontrollers and low-voltage sensor front-ends.
Is MAX9031AXK+TG05 pin-compatible with other comparators in the MAX903x family?
No - MAX9031AXK+TG05 uses a 5-pin SC70 package with pinout IN−, VSS, IN+, OUT, VDD. In contrast, MAX9030 (6-pin SC70) adds SHDN, MAX9032 (8-pin) integrates dual channels, and MAX9034 (14-pin) hosts quad functionality. Therefore, MAX9031AXK+TG05 is not pin-compatible with any other MAX903x variant; each requires unique PCB layout and schematic symbol.
