Product details
Overview
MAX9040AEUK+T from Analog Devices is a micropower single-supply comparator with integrated 2.048V precision voltage reference, featuring rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, 40μA supply current at 2.7V, ±0.5mV input offset voltage, and 400ns propagation delay - deployed in battery-powered precision threshold detection and level translation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9040AEUK+T datasheet, MAX9040AEUK+T pinout, MAX9040AEUK+T application, or MAX9040AEUK+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, A-grade reference accuracy (±0.4%), SOT23-5 package mapping, confirmed pin roles, and real-world design trade-offs versus alternatives.
Technical Context
The device integrates a single high-precision comparator and a laser-trimmed series-mode voltage reference on a CMOS process. Its comparator uses internal ±3mV hysteresis and a low-glitch push-pull output stage capable of sourcing/sinking 8mA while maintaining stable quiescent current under dynamic switching.
The reference employs curvature correction and thin-film resistor trimming to achieve 6ppm/°C tempco (A grade) and stability with up to 4.7nF capacitive loads - enabling direct use in ADC reference, sensor biasing, and window comparator topologies without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports direct operation from Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V rails without regulation. |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 40μA at 2.7V - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered monitoring systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.048V ±0.4% (A grade) - matches standard 12-bit DAC/ADC full-scale codes for zero-gain error designs. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV (typ) - allows accurate detection of sub-mV signal thresholds in sensor interfaces. |
| Propagation Delay | 400ns at 100mV overdrive - supports reliable timing in 1MHz-level digital signal conditioning. |
| Common-Mode Range | VEE − 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V - enables direct sensing of signals beyond supply rails (e.g., automotive wake-up detection). |
| Reference Tempco | 6ppm/°C (typ) - contributes <±0.5mV drift over −40°C to +85°C, critical for industrial temperature sensing. |

| Capacitive-load stability | Stable with 0–4.7nF on REF pin - supports direct connection to ADC reference inputs and RC filtering without oscillation risk. |
Applications
| Precision Battery Management | Window Comparators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during charge/discharge cycles to trigger cutoff or alert at 2.048V ±10mV thresholds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares cell voltage against internally generated 2.048V reference; output drives enable/disable logic or MCU interrupt. Use Value: Eliminates external reference and reduces BOM count by one component while maintaining ±0.4% trip-point accuracy across temperature. | Use Scenario: Detecting if an analog sensor output remains within safe operational bounds (e.g., 2.0V–2.1V for pressure transducer). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single MAX9040AEUK+T used in dual-threshold configuration with external resistive divider; REF supplies stable mid-point reference. Use Value: Internal reference stability ensures window width remains fixed at ±5mV over −40°C to +85°C - avoids false trips in industrial environments. |
| IR Receivers | Level Translators |
Use Scenario: Converting weak, noisy IR photodiode signals into clean digital pulses for microcontroller decoding. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator detects modulated IR carrier envelope using REF as DC bias; rail-to-rail output directly interfaces 3.3V logic. Use Value: 400ns propagation delay and internal hysteresis suppress ambient light noise while preserving 38kHz carrier fidelity. | Use Scenario: Translating 5V logic signals down to 3.3V or 1.8V domains in mixed-voltage microcontroller systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IN+ tied to 5V signal; REF (2.048V) sets threshold; OUT drives lower-voltage rail via push-pull output. Use Value: Push-pull output eliminates need for external pull-down resistor; 8mA drive strength supports fan-out to multiple 3.3V inputs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator + reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9040BEUK+T | B-grade reference (±1% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C tempco); otherwise identical pinout, supply, and speed. | Suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision - e.g., consumer-grade battery indicators with ±5% tolerance. | Select MAX9040BEUK+T only when reference accuracy requirements relax to ±1% and tempco >100ppm/°C is acceptable. |
| TLV4041IDBVR | Single comparator with internal 1.2V reference; 650nA supply current; no rail-to-rail input; 3.5μs propagation delay. | Lower power but slower and less precise - fits ultra-low-power wake-up sensors, not precision thresholding. | Choose TLV4041IDBVR only for sub-1μA standby systems where 2.048V matching and 400ns timing are non-critical. |
Compared with MAX9040BEUK+T, the MAX9040AEUK+T delivers 2.5× tighter reference accuracy and 16× lower tempco - essential for metrology-grade sensing. Versus TLV4041IDBVR, it trades 16× higher supply current for 8.75× faster response and exact 2.048V compatibility with 12-bit data converters.

Does MAX9040AEUK+T support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, MAX9040AEUK+T supports rail-to-rail input operation with a common-mode voltage range extending 250mV beyond both supply rails (VEE − 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V). This capability is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections of the datasheet, enabling direct interface to overvoltage signals in automotive or industrial sensor front-ends.
What is the maximum capacitive load the REF pin of MAX9040AEUK+T can drive?
The REF pin of MAX9040AEUK+T is stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 4.7nF, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Capacitive-Load Stability Range." This allows direct connection to ADC reference inputs, sample-and-hold capacitors, or RC filters without risk of oscillation - a key advantage over references requiring external isolation.
Can MAX9040AEUK+T be used in dual-supply configurations?
No, MAX9040AEUK+T is designed exclusively for single-supply operation from 2.5V to 5.5V. Its absolute maximum ratings specify VCC to VEE as −0.3V to +6V, but the functional operating range requires VEE = 0V (ground) and VCC ≥ 2.5V. Dual-supply use is not supported and may damage the device or violate reference output specifications.
