Overview
MAX9041BEUT+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 5V, 400ns propagation delay, and ±3mV internal hysteresis - deployed in battery-powered precision level detection and window comparator circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9041BEUT+T datasheet, MAX9041BEUT+T pinout, MAX9041BEUT+T application, or MAX9041BEUT+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated SOT23-6 pin mapping, confirmed A/B grade reference accuracy (B grade: ±1% initial, 100ppm/°C), rail-to-rail output drive (8mA sink/source), and real-world use cases in IR receivers and digital line receivers.
Technical Context
The MAX9041BEUT+T integrates a single high-precision comparator with an independent 2.048V series-mode voltage reference. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from VEE −0.25V to VCC +0.25V and exhibits 1.0pA typical input bias current and ±1mV (max) input offset voltage over temperature.
The comparator employs internal ±3mV hysteresis and a low-glitch push-pull output stage capable of sourcing/sinking 8mA. The reference uses laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and curvature correction, delivering stable 2.048V output with ≤4.7nF capacitive load tolerance and 84dB ripple rejection at 120Hz.

Applications
| Precision Battery Management | Window Comparators |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during charge/discharge cycles to trigger cutoff at 4.2V (full) and 2.8V (empty). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares cell voltage against dual thresholds derived from REF; outputs clean logic signals to MCU GPIO. Use Value: 2.048V reference enables precise 1.024V and 3.072V thresholds via resistor dividers - achieving ±10mV absolute accuracy without calibration. | Use Scenario: Detecting valid signal presence in analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor bridge) bounded between upper/lower limits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator with REF-based thresholds implements one half of a window detector; second comparator (e.g., MAX9042) handles opposite bound. Use Value: Internal hysteresis eliminates false triggers from EMI-induced noise on sensor lines - eliminating need for RC filtering and saving board space. |
| IR Receivers | Digital Line Receivers |
Use Scenario: Demodulating 38kHz infrared carrier bursts from remote controls in consumer electronics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator acts as high-speed envelope detector; REF sets DC bias point for AC-coupled IR photodiode signal. Use Value: 400ns propagation delay ensures accurate pulse-width decoding at 38kHz - supporting NEC and RC-5 protocols without timing skew. | Use Scenario: Converting differential RS-232 or TTL-level serial data into clean CMOS logic levels for microcontroller UART input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares incoming signal against REF-derived threshold (e.g., 1.024V for 3.3V logic) to reject noise below valid logic high. Use Value: Rail-to-rail output drives MCU input directly at 3.3V or 5V - eliminating level-shifter ICs and associated propagation delay. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator + reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9041AEUT+T | A-grade reference: ±0.4% initial accuracy and 6ppm/°C tempco vs. B-grade's ±1% and 100ppm/°C. | Suitable for metrology-grade thresholding where long-term drift must be minimized (e.g., medical sensor calibration). | Select MAX9041AEUT+T when reference stability dominates system error budget; otherwise MAX9041BEUT+T offers cost advantage. |
| TLV4041IDBVR | Single comparator only (no integrated reference); requires external 2.048V reference (e.g., REF3020); 36μA supply current; 300ns delay. | Used when reference and comparator must be independently biased or when higher speed is prioritized over integration. | Choose TLV4041IDBVR if layout allows separate reference placement and faster response (<300ns) is mandatory. |
Compared with MAX9041AEUT+T, the MAX9041BEUT+T trades reference precision for lower cost and identical comparator performance; versus TLV4041IDBVR, it reduces component count and PCB area by integrating the reference but adds fixed 2.048V output voltage.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy of MAX9041BEUT+T over temperature?
The MAX9041BEUT+T features a B-grade 2.048V voltage reference with ±1% initial accuracy at +25°C and a temperature coefficient of 100ppm/°C. Over the full −40°C to +85°C operating range, total reference error remains within ±1.85% - calculated as ±1% initial plus ±0.85% drift (100ppm/°C × 125°C span). This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "B Grade (1% Initial Accuracy)".
Does MAX9041BEUT+T support rail-to-rail input operation beyond the supply rails?
Yes, the MAX9041BEUT+T supports rail-to-rail input operation with a common-mode voltage range extending 250mV beyond both supply rails - from VEE −0.25V to VCC +0.25V. This allows direct interfacing with overvoltage transients or AC-coupled signals without clamping diodes. Input bias current remains below ±25nA across this extended range, per the B-grade Electrical Characteristics table.
Can MAX9041BEUT+T drive a 10kΩ load directly from its REF pin?
Yes, the MAX9041BEUT+T REF pin can source or sink up to ±500μA while maintaining specified accuracy. A 10kΩ load draws only 204.8μA at 2.048V, well within this limit. Load regulation is specified at 2–4µV/µA, so the worst-case voltage shift is <1mV - preserving threshold integrity in precision applications. This is verified in the "Load Regulation" parameter row of the datasheet.
What is the maximum capacitive load the REF output of MAX9041BEUT+T can drive stably?
The REF output of MAX9041BEUT+T is stable with capacitive loads up to 4.7nF, as explicitly stated in the "Capacitive-Load Stability Range" specification (CL(VREF) = 0 to 4.7nF). This eliminates the need for output compensation in most applications. For transient-heavy environments (e.g., switching power supply monitoring), a small ceramic capacitor (e.g., 100nF) may be added to improve step-load response - but it is not required for stability.
Is the output stage of MAX9041BEUT+T push-pull or open-drain?
The MAX9041BEUT+T features a rail-to-rail push-pull output stage capable of both sourcing and sinking up to 8mA - unlike the MAX9038, which has an open-drain output. This is confirmed in the General Description ("comparator outputs have rail-to-rail, push-pull output stages except the MAX9038") and the Pin Configurations diagram showing Pin 1 labeled "OUT" with no open-drain symbol. No external pull-up resistor is needed.
