Overview
MAX9032AKA+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, rail-to-rail output comparator optimized for single-supply operation from +2.5V to +5.5V, featuring 188ns propagation delay, 35µA per comparator supply current, 4mV internal hysteresis, and input common-mode range extending to within 1.1V of VDD - deployed in battery-powered portable systems and sensor signal detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9032AKA+T datasheet, MAX9032AKA+T pinout, MAX9032AKA+T application, or MAX9032AKA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23-8 package mapping, dual-comparator functional context, and real-world selection guidance for low-power, space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX9032AKA+T implements two independent high-speed comparators with matched input stages and shared supply rails. Its internal 4mV hysteresis eliminates oscillation on slow-moving inputs without external components, while rail-to-rail output swing ensures full logic-level compatibility with 1.8V–5V digital interfaces.
Designed for stable operation across -40°C to +125°C, it maintains 35µA typical supply current per comparator over temperature and exhibits no phase reversal under overdriven input conditions - critical for reliable threshold detection in photodiode preamps and digital line receivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - supports direct interface with Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V logic domains. |
| Propagation Delay | 188ns at VOD = 100mV - enables reliable comparison of signals up to ~2MHz edge rates in timing-critical detection. |
| Supply Current per Comparator | 35µA typical at +25°C - allows dual-channel operation at <70µA total, ideal for always-on sensor wake-up circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±5mV max - ensures accurate threshold discrimination down to ~10mV differential input with hysteresis margin. |
| Hysteresis | 4mV built-in - provides noise immunity against ≤2mV RMS interference without external feedback resistors. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VSS to (VDD – 1.1V) - accepts ground-referenced inputs up to 4.4V on +5.5V supply, simplifying level-shifting. |

Pinout & Package
The MAX9032AKA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+5), measuring 4.9mm × 6.0mm × 1.75mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | INB− | Inverting input of comparator B - referenced to VSS; accepts signals from 0V up to (VDD − 1.1V). |
| 2 | INB+ | Noninverting input of comparator B - used for positive-edge threshold detection or reference comparison. |
| 3 | VSS | Negative supply terminal - must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near the pin for noise immunity. |
| 4 | OUTB | Output of comparator B - CMOS rail-to-rail, capable of sourcing/sinking 4mA with <400mV drop at full load. |
| 5 | OUTA | Output of comparator A - electrically isolated from OUTB; shares no internal coupling or crosstalk. |
| 6 | INA− | Inverting input of comparator A - matched to INB− for consistent offset and hysteresis behavior. |
| 7 | INA+ | Noninverting input of comparator A - configured for independent threshold sensing or window detection with INA−. |
| 8 | VDD | Positive supply terminal - operates from +2.5V to +5.5V; requires local 0.1µF bypass to VSS. |

Use Value: Built-in 4mV hysteresis rejects EMI-induced noise on long sensor traces without external components. |
| Photodiode Preamps | Digital Line Receivers |
Use Scenario: Thresholding transimpedance amplifier outputs in optical smoke detectors and pulse oximeters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts weak, slow-rising photocurrent pulses into TTL-compatible digital events with precise timing control. Use Value: No phase reversal ensures correct polarity even during large-signal transients; 188ns delay preserves pulse timing integrity. | Use Scenario: Recovering digital data from attenuated or distorted RS-485, CAN, or legacy bus signals in noisy factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as a high-speed line receiver with adjustable hysteresis to reject common-mode noise on differential pairs. Use Value: Input common-mode range to (VDD − 1.1V) accommodates wide-swing bus voltages; rail-to-rail output directly interfaces FPGA I/O banks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher 1.2mA supply current per comparator; open-collector output requiring pull-up; no internal hysteresis. | Requires external hysteresis resistors and pull-up networks; unsuitable for ultra-low-power or rail-to-rail logic interfacing. | Select only if cost is primary constraint and board space/power budget allow for added passives and higher quiescent draw. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower 800nA supply current but slower 5.5µs propagation delay; rail-to-rail input/output; 3mV hysteresis. | Optimized for nanowatt sensing, not speed-critical detection; lacks guaranteed -40°C to +125°C performance. | Choose for battery-life-critical, low-frequency thresholding where microsecond latency is acceptable. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, the MAX9032AKA+T uniquely balances sub-100µA dual-channel consumption, 188ns speed, built-in hysteresis, and automotive-grade temperature range - making it the only option meeting all four requirements simultaneously in compact SOT23-8 form factor.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX9032AKA+T?
The MAX9032AKA+T is specified for continuous operation from -40°C to +125°C. This range is fully tested and guaranteed per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. The MAX9032AKA+T maintains its 35µA supply current and 188ns propagation delay across this full span.
Does the MAX9032AKA+T include internal hysteresis, and how does it affect design?
Yes, the MAX9032AKA+T integrates 4mV of internal hysteresis per comparator. This eliminates the need for external positive-feedback resistors in most noise-prone applications - such as sensor signal detection or photodiode preamp outputs - reducing component count and PCB area. The hysteresis band is fixed and centered on the trip point defined by the input differential voltage, ensuring predictable switching behavior without layout-dependent tuning.
What package type is used for the MAX9032AKA+T, and what are its key mechanical features?
The MAX9032AKA+T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (Maxim package code K8+5). It measures 4.9mm × 6.0mm × 1.75mm with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating, and a thermal pad not connected internally. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020, and its small footprint enables dense placement in portable electronics where board space is constrained.
Can the MAX9032AKA+T operate from a 3.3V supply, and what performance is guaranteed?
Yes, the MAX9032AKA+T operates fully across +2.5V to +5.5V single supply. At 3.3V, it guarantees 35µA typical supply current per comparator, 188ns propagation delay (tested at VOD = 100mV), rail-to-rail output swing, and input common-mode range from VSS to 2.2V. All key parameters - including hysteresis, offset voltage, and PSRR - remain within datasheet limits at 3.3V, enabling direct integration into 3.3V microcontroller systems.
Is there any risk of phase reversal when overdriving the inputs of the MAX9032AKA+T?
No - the MAX9032AKA+T is explicitly designed with no phase reversal for overdriven inputs. Even when either IN+ or IN− exceeds the common-mode range (e.g., driven below VSS or above VDD − 1.1V), the output retains correct polarity and transitions predictably. This behavior is confirmed in the datasheet's "No Phase Reversal for Overdriven Inputs" feature list and validated across -40°C to +125°C, making the MAX9032AKA+T reliable in fault-detection circuits where input transients are expected.
