Product details
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, delivering 188ns propagation delay, 35μA per comparator supply current, and 4mV internal hysteresis across -40°C to +125°C. It operates in portable battery-powered systems where low power, small footprint, and noise-immune threshold detection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9032AKA-T datasheet, MAX9032AKA-T pinout, MAX9032AKA-T application, or MAX9032AKA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel SOT23-8 package, guaranteed hysteresis, input common-mode range extending to VDD − 1.1V, and absence of phase reversal under overdrive - all validated for industrial and automotive temperature ranges.
Technical Context
The MAX9032AKA-T integrates two independent comparators sharing a common VDD and VSS, each with noninverting (INA+/INB+) and inverting (INA−/INB−) inputs and rail-to-rail CMOS outputs (OUTA/OUTB). Its internal 4mV hysteresis is fixed and unadjustable, eliminating external feedback components while ensuring stable switching against slow-moving or noisy signals.
Input stage design supports common-mode voltage from VSS to VDD − 1.1V, enabling direct interfacing with sensors and ADC references operating near supply rails. Output stage minimizes transient supply current during transitions, reducing power-supply glitches without requiring external decoupling beyond standard 0.1µF bypassing.

Pinout & Package
MAX9032AKA-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+5), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Negative supply rail - must be connected to system ground or negative bias; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass |
| 2 | OUTB | Comparator B output - CMOS rail-to-rail, capable of sourcing/sinking 4mA with <400mV drop at full load |
| 3 | INB− | Comparator B inverting input - high-impedance node (8nA max bias current); sensitive to PCB leakage and coupling |
| 4 | INB+ | Comparator B noninverting input - matched to INB− for offset cancellation; differential input voltage limited to ±6.6V |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply rail - accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; must be bypassed locally to minimize PSRR degradation |
| 6 | INA+ | Comparator A noninverting input - electrically identical to INB+; supports common-mode up to VDD − 1.1V |
| 7 | INA− | Comparator A inverting input - paired with INA+; input offset voltage ±1mV typical ensures precise threshold alignment |
| 8 | OUTA | Comparator A output - independently driven, no internal connection to OUTB; compatible with capacitive loads ≤150pF |
Key Features

Applications
| Battery-Powered Threshold Detection | Photodiode Signal Discrimination |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring lithium battery voltage to trigger low-battery warning and graceful shutdown before cutoff. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator configures one channel as undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and the other as overvoltage protection (OVP), both referenced to precision divider networks. Use Value: 4mV hysteresis prevents chatter near trip points; 35μA quiescent current extends standby time without compromising response speed. |
Use Scenario: Converting weak, noisy photodiode current into clean digital pulses for optical encoder or proximity sensing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator A compares transimpedance-amplified photodiode output against adjustable threshold; Comparator B provides hysteresis-stabilized zero-crossing detection. Use Value: Input common-mode range down to VSS allows direct AC-coupled photodiode interface; rail-to-rail output ensures TTL/CMOS compatibility. |
| Digital Line Receiver | Keyless Entry RF Signal Detection |
Use Scenario: Recovering NRZ data from attenuated, distorted RS-485 or CAN bus signals in noisy industrial environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator implements windowed receiver: one detects rising edge, the other falling edge, enabling robust clock/data recovery. Use Value: 188ns propagation delay matches standard UART baud rates up to 1Mbps; no phase reversal avoids false triggering on overshoot. |
Use Scenario: Detecting valid amplitude-modulated RF envelope from car key fob receiver front-end for secure access activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator monitors envelope peak against programmable threshold; second validates pulse width and repetition rate to reject interference. Use Value: −40°C to +125°C rating ensures reliability in vehicle cabin electronics; low supply current enables always-on listening mode. |
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 100μA supply current per comparator; no built-in hysteresis; slower 1.3μs propagation delay; wider SO-8 package | Requires external hysteresis resistors; unsuitable for ultra-low-power or high-speed edge detection | Choose LM393DR only if cost is primary constraint and 35μA quiescent current or 188ns delay are not required. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower 20μA supply current; rail-to-rail input; 1.5μs propagation delay; same SOT23-8 package but different pinout (VDD on pin 8) | Input rail-to-rail enables direct sensing of signals near VSS/VDD; slower response limits use in >500kHz applications | Choose TLV3702IDR when input common-mode range beyond VDD − 1.1V is needed, accepting trade-off in speed and pin compatibility. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, MAX9032AKA-T uniquely balances ultra-low power (35μA), fast response (188ns), and integrated hysteresis in a compact SOT23-8 - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems demanding deterministic switching without external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX9032AKA-T output can drive without oscillation?
The MAX9032AKA-T output is stable with capacitive loads up to 150pF, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Driving larger loads may cause sustained oscillations due to phase margin degradation. For loads exceeding 150pF, add a series resistor (typically 10–50Ω) close to the output pin to isolate the capacitance and preserve stability. This limitation applies to both OUTA and OUTB independently.
Does the MAX9032AKA-T have shutdown capability like the MAX9030?
No, the MAX9032AKA-T does not include a shutdown feature. Unlike the MAX9030, which has a dedicated SHDN pin, the MAX9032AKA-T is a dual comparator without power-control functionality. Its supply current remains at 35μA per channel across the full temperature range. If shutdown is required, consider using discrete enable circuitry or selecting the MAX9030 for single-channel applications.
Can the MAX9032AKA-T operate from dual supplies such as ±2.5V?
Yes, the MAX9032AKA-T supports dual-supply operation from ±1.25V to ±2.75V, as stated in the Detailed Description section. In dual-supply mode, VDD connects to +VS and VSS to −VS. The input common-mode range extends from −VS to (+VS − 1.1V), and output swings rail-to-rail between −VS and +VS. All specifications, including propagation delay and supply current, remain valid under dual-supply conditions.
What is the input offset voltage specification for the MAX9032AKA-T over temperature?
The MAX9032AKA-T has a guaranteed input offset voltage of ±5mV maximum over the full −40°C to +125°C range, with ±1mV typical at +25°C. Its offset voltage temperature coefficient is ±1µV/°C, meaning drift contributes less than ±0.13mV over the entire temperature span. This tight offset enables accurate threshold detection in precision sensor interfaces without calibration.
Is the MAX9032AKA-T pin-compatible with other dual comparators in SOT23-8 packages?
No, the MAX9032AKA-T uses a proprietary pinout distinct from industry-standard dual comparators like the LM393 or TLV3702. Specifically, VDD is on pin 5 and VSS on pin 1, whereas many alternatives place VDD on pin 8. Substituting without PCB revision will result in incorrect power connections and functional failure. Always verify pin mapping before replacement.
