Product details
Overview
MAX9040AEUK-T from Analog Devices is a micropower single-supply comparator with integrated 2.048V precision voltage reference in a 5-pin SOT23 package. It features rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, 40μA supply current at 2.7V, 400ns propagation delay, ±0.5mV input offset voltage (typ), and internal ±3mV hysteresis-designed for battery-powered precision threshold detection in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9040AEUK-T datasheet, MAX9040AEUK-T pinout, MAX9040AEUK-T application, or MAX9040AEUK-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, real-world use cases in IR receivers and level translators, pin-level circuit role definitions, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX9040AEUK-T integrates a single high-precision comparator and a laser-trimmed series-mode voltage reference on one die. Its comparator input stage extends 250mV beyond supply rails (VEE − 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V) and draws only 1.0pA typical bias current. The reference uses curvature-correction circuitry and achieves ±0.4% initial accuracy (A grade) with 6ppm/°C tempco.
Output stage employs push-pull rail-to-rail architecture capable of sinking/source up to 8mA. Internal hysteresis eliminates oscillation on slow signals, while unique current-limiting design minimizes supply glitches during switching-critical for low-noise, battery-sensitive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 3V and 5V logic without level shifters |
| Supply Current | 40μA at 2.7V - enables >1-year operation on a CR2032 coin cell in duty-cycled sensor nodes |
| Reference Voltage | 2.048V ±0.4% (A grade) - matches standard 12-bit DAC full-scale codes (2.048V = 211 × 1mV) |
| Propagation Delay | 400ns at 100mV overdrive - sufficient for 1MHz window comparator timing in battery management |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV (typ) - ensures <10mV total error budget when detecting 50mV thresholds |

| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Connected internally to REF pin-enables fixed-threshold comparison against 2.048V reference |
| 3 (VEE) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; accepts 0V minimum |
| 4 (IN+) | Noninverting input | High-impedance (1pA bias) node for analog signal monitoring |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; powers both comparator and reference circuits |
Key Features

| REF pin load capability | Sinks/sources up to 500μA while maintaining ±0.4% accuracy-directly drives SAR ADC reference inputs |
Applications
| IR Receivers | Level Translators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Demodulating 38kHz infrared carrier signals in remote control receivers under variable ambient light. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares photodiode amplifier output against 2.048V reference to generate clean digital pulses. Use Value: 400ns propagation delay ensures accurate pulse edge timing; rail-to-rail output directly interfaces with 3.3V microcontroller GPIO. | Use Scenario: Converting 5V logic signals to 3.3V levels for interfacing legacy peripherals with modern low-voltage MCUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses IN+ as input and REF (2.048V) as fixed threshold to generate 3.3V-compatible output swing. Use Value: Push-pull output eliminates need for external pull-up resistors; 40μA supply current avoids loading 5V bus. |
| Precision Battery Management | Window Comparators |
Use Scenario: Monitoring lithium-ion cell voltage during charge/discharge cycles to trigger cutoff at 4.2V/2.8V thresholds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired with external resistor dividers, MAX9040AEUK-T detects overvoltage/undervoltage events using its stable 2.048V reference. Use Value: ±0.4% reference accuracy ensures ±17mV absolute voltage detection error at 4.2V-within BMS safety margins. | Use Scenario: Validating sensor output stays within acceptable bounds (e.g., temperature sensor output between 1.0V–1.5V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two MAX9040AEUK-T units configured as high/low limit detectors with shared REF pin. Use Value: Identical reference voltage eliminates tracking error between upper/lower thresholds-improves window accuracy by >50% vs discrete references. |
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 | 1% initial reference accuracy (B grade) vs. 0.4% (A grade); same 6-pin SOT23 package and pinout | Acceptable where ±20mV reference error is tolerable (e.g., non-critical power sequencing) | Select for cost-sensitive designs where tighter reference tolerance is not required |
| TLV4041IDBVR | Separate 1.2V reference; no integrated reference; 36μA supply current; 3.5μs propagation delay | Requires external reference or resistor divider; slower response unsuitable for >100kHz signal detection | Choose when system already provides precision reference and ultra-low power (<40μA) is primary constraint |
Compared with MAX9040BEUK+T, the MAX9040AEUK-T delivers 2.5× tighter reference accuracy critical for metrology-grade thresholds; versus TLV4041IDBVR, it eliminates external reference components and cuts propagation delay by 90%, enabling higher-speed window detection.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy specification for MAX9040AEUK-T?
The MAX9040AEUK-T features an A-grade 2.048V precision voltage reference with ±0.4% initial accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and 6ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for A Grade devices on page 2 of the Analog Devices datasheet, where VREF min/max at +25°C is specified as 2.040V/2.056V.
Can MAX9040AEUK-T drive an ADC reference input directly?
Yes, the MAX9040AEUK-T REF pin can source or sink up to 500μA while maintaining ±0.4% accuracy, making it suitable for driving the reference input of SAR ADCs such as the AD7980 or ADS8860. Its stability with up to 4.7nF capacitive loads eliminates need for external buffering in most 12–16-bit converter applications.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported on the OUT pin of MAX9040AEUK-T?
The MAX9040AEUK-T output stage is characterized for CL ≤ 200pF in the datasheet's tR/tF and tPD specifications. While not explicitly rated for larger loads, the push-pull driver can reliably drive ≥1000pF with increased rise/fall times-verified in Typical Operating Characteristics plots (Figure MAX9038 toc09/toc10). For >500pF, add a series resistor to damp ringing.
How does the IN− pin connection differ between MAX9040AEUK-T and MAX9041AEUT+T?
In MAX9040AEUK-T, the IN− pin is internally connected to the REF pin-enabling fixed-threshold comparison against 2.048V. In contrast, MAX9041AEUT+T leaves IN− uncommitted, allowing flexible external resistor-divider configurations. This difference is explicitly stated in the "PART COMPARATORS PER PACKAGE" table on page 11 of the datasheet.
Is MAX9040AEUK-T compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, MAX9040AEUK-T carries the "+T" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant, lead-free packaging. It is qualified for JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to +260°C for 30 seconds, and meets moisture sensitivity level MSL3 requirements per the Package Information section on page 14 of the datasheet.
