Product details
Overview
MAX9043BEUB from Analog Devices is a dual micropower comparator with integrated 2.048V precision voltage reference, operating from 2.5V to 5.5V single supply. It delivers rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, 400ns propagation delay, ±3mV internal hysteresis, and only 55µA supply current - ideal for battery-powered precision level detection in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9043BEUB datasheet, MAX9043BEUB pinout, MAX9043BEUB application, or MAX9043BEUB equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-comparator + reference integration in µMAX-10, A/B-grade reference accuracy (±0.4% or ±1%), low-input-bias-current (1pA typ), and stable operation with up to 4.7nF capacitive load on REF.
Technical Context
The MAX9043BEUB integrates two independent comparators sharing one precision 2.048V reference, each with rail-to-rail input range extending 250mV beyond VEE/VCC and push-pull output capable of sinking/sourcing 8mA. Its input stage uses CMOS architecture with typical 1.0pA bias current and ±0.5mV offset voltage (A grade).
Internal ±3mV hysteresis ensures noise-immune switching without external components, while the unique output stage minimizes supply current surges during transitions - reducing power-supply glitches and eliminating need for large bypass capacitors in low-noise 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 domains without level shifters. |
| Supply Current | 55µA typ at 5V - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices with 1Hz wake-up rate. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.048V ±0.4% (A grade) - matches standard 12-bit DAC full-scale codes (2.048V = 211 × 1mV) for seamless ADC/DAC reference sharing. |
| Propagation Delay | 400ns at 100mV overdrive - sufficient for 1MHz window comparator response in battery management fault detection. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV max (A grade) - enables accurate 1mV-level threshold detection in sensor signal conditioning. |
| Capacitive Load Stability | 0–4.7nF on REF - allows direct connection to ADC reference inputs or RC filtering without oscillation risk. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9043BEUB is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3.0mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly and provides thermal performance suitable for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply input - must be decoupled locally with 100nF capacitor to suppress high-frequency noise coupling into reference/comparators. |
| 2 | OUTA | Comparator A push-pull output - drives logic loads directly; no external pull-up required for CMOS/TTL interfacing. |
| 3 | INA+ | Comparator A noninverting input - accepts signals from VEE − 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V, enabling overvoltage-tolerant sensing. |
| 4 | INA− | Comparator A inverting input - uncommitted; may be tied to REF or external threshold for single-ended or differential configurations. |
| 5 | REF | Precision 2.048V reference output - sources/sinks up to 500µA; stable with 0–4.7nF capacitive load for ADC reference buffering. |
| 6 | VEE | Negative supply (typically GND) - serves as common return for both comparators and reference; requires low-impedance ground plane. |
| 7 | INB− | Comparator B inverting input - independently configurable; enables dual-threshold (window) detection when paired with INA+ or REF. |
| 8 | INB+ | Comparator B noninverting input - identical electrical specs to INA+; supports independent signal path routing on PCB. |
| 9 | OUTB | Comparator B push-pull output - electrically isolated from OUTA; allows independent control of two system functions (e.g., charge/discharge enable). |
| 10 | N.C. | No internal connection - left floating or grounded per layout best practice; no functional impact if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual comparator + precision reference | Reduces BOM count by 3 components vs. discrete comparator + reference + divider solution; saves >2.5mm² PCB area in µMAX-10. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O with 250mV beyond rails | Enables direct monitoring of battery voltage down to 0.25V above ground or up to 0.25V above VCC - critical for end-of-life detection in Li-ion cells. |
| 55µA total supply current | Permits continuous monitoring at <1µW quiescent power - essential for always-on IoT node wake-up circuitry. |
| ±3mV internal hysteresis | Eliminates need for external positive feedback resistors in noisy environments (e.g., motor drive feedback), simplifying design and improving reliability. |
| Stable with 4.7nF REF load | Supports direct connection to SAR ADC reference pins (e.g., AD7980, AD7685) without destabilizing the reference or degrading SNR. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitoring | Window Comparator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time monitoring of 3.7V Li-ion cell voltage during charging/discharging cycles to trigger under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and over-voltage protection (OVP). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares cell voltage against 2.048V REF-derived thresholds (e.g., 2.8V and 4.2V via resistor dividers); REF provides stable reference for both thresholds. Use Value: Enables ±10mV threshold accuracy across -40°C to +85°C using A-grade part, meeting IEC 62133 safety requirements for portable batteries. | Use Scenario: Detecting valid signal presence in industrial analog sensor outputs (e.g., 4–20mA loop transmitters) by verifying signal stays within defined upper/lower bounds. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator monitors upper limit (INB+ tied to REF, INB− to scaled input), second monitors lower limit (INA+ to scaled input, INA− to REF); outputs OR'd externally. Use Value: 400ns propagation delay ensures <500ns total window detection latency - fast enough to prevent PLC I/O module damage from out-of-range signals. |
| IR Receiver Signal Conditioning | Digital Line Receiver |
Use Scenario: Converting weak, noisy 38kHz modulated IR photodiode signals into clean digital pulses for microcontroller decoding in remote controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator A detects carrier envelope (INA+ to filtered photodiode, INA− to DC bias), Comparator B provides hysteresis-enhanced demodulation (INB+ to envelope, INB− to adjustable threshold). Use Value: 1pA input bias current prevents loading of high-impedance photodiode preamp; rail-to-rail output drives MCU GPIO directly without level-shifting. | Use Scenario: Receiving RS-232 or proprietary differential serial data in space-constrained medical devices where ESD robustness and low power are mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator (e.g., OUTA) acts as line receiver with REF as threshold; INA+ accepts attenuated signal, INA− tied to REF for precise 0V-crossing detection. Use Value: 250mV beyond-rail input range accommodates ±12V RS-232 inputs via simple resistive divider; 55µA current extends battery runtime in portable diagnostics tools. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-comparator-with-reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9042BEUA | Same dual-comparator + 2.048V reference architecture, but in 8-pin µMAX; INB− internally tied to REF (not uncommitted). | Limited flexibility for independent dual-threshold designs requiring separate INB− configuration. | Select MAX9042BEUA only when REF-referenced second comparator suffices and board space permits larger 8-pin footprint. |
| TLV3702IDR | Low-power dual comparator (1.2µA/ch) with no integrated reference; requires external 2.048V source (e.g., REF3020). | Higher BOM count and PCB area; reference accuracy and tempco depend on external component selection. | Choose TLV3702IDR when ultra-low supply current (<2µA) dominates over integration benefits and reference stability can be managed externally. |
Compared with MAX9042BEUA, MAX9043BEUB offers fully independent INB− for flexible window or dual-threshold topologies, while TLV3702IDR trades integration for extreme quiescent current reduction - making MAX9043BEUB optimal for space-constrained, reference-stability-critical applications like portable battery analyzers.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy and temperature coefficient of MAX9043BEUB?
The MAX9043BEUB is a B-grade device with ±1% initial accuracy and 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient for its 2.048V reference output. This specification applies across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range and is laser-trimmed during production. The A-grade variant (MAX9043AEUB) offers tighter ±0.4% initial accuracy and 6ppm/°C tempco.
Can MAX9043BEUB drive an ADC reference input directly?
Yes, MAX9043BEUB can drive an ADC reference input directly. Its 2.048V reference output is stable with capacitive loads up to 4.7nF and sources/sinks ±500µA. When connecting to SAR ADCs like the AD7980, ensure the ADC's reference input capacitance falls within this range and that supply decoupling meets Analog Devices' layout guidelines to maintain 12-bit effective resolution.
What is the maximum capacitive load allowed on the REF pin of MAX9043BEUB?
The maximum stable capacitive load on the REF pin of MAX9043BEUB is 4.7nF, as confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table under "Capacitive-Load Stability Range". Loads exceeding this value may cause reference output instability or overshoot during turn-on; for transient-heavy applications, a small series resistor (e.g., 1Ω) can be added to dampen resonance without affecting DC accuracy.
Does MAX9043BEUB support rail-to-rail input operation beyond the supply rails?
Yes, MAX9043BEUB supports rail-to-rail input operation with a common-mode voltage range extending 250mV beyond both VEE and VCC rails (i.e., VEE − 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V). This allows direct interface with overvoltage signals such as battery packs or industrial sensors without external clamping diodes, though input current must remain within ±20mA absolute maximum rating.
How does the internal hysteresis of MAX9043BEUB improve noise immunity?
The internal hysteresis of MAX9043BEUB is ±3mV, meaning the comparator switches at different thresholds depending on output state - e.g., rising input crosses 2.045V to trigger high-to-low transition, then must fall below 2.051V to switch back. This 6mV hysteresis band rejects noise spikes ≤3mV peak-to-peak, eliminating false triggering in electrically noisy environments like motor control feedback loops without requiring external hysteresis resistors.
