Product details
Overview
MAX9050AEUK+T from Analog Devices is a micropower single-supply comparator with integrated 2.500V precision voltage reference, featuring rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, 40μA supply current at 2.7V, ±0.5mV input offset voltage, and 400ns propagation delay. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and is designed for precision battery management and low-power sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9050AEUK+T datasheet, MAX9050AEUK+T pinout, MAX9050AEUK+T application, or MAX9050AEUK+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, SOT23-5 package mapping, A-grade reference accuracy (±0.4% initial, 6ppm/°C tempco), and real-world use context for embedded power monitoring and analog threshold detection.
Technical Context
The MAX9050AEUK+T integrates a single high-precision comparator with a laser-trimmed series-mode voltage reference. Its comparator features rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 250mV beyond rails, 1.0pA typical input bias current, and internal ±3mV hysteresis to prevent chatter on slow signals.
The 2.500V reference uses proprietary curvature correction and thin-film resistors, delivering ±0.4% initial accuracy (A grade), 6ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient, and stability with up to 4.7nF capacitive load - enabling direct connection to ADC reference inputs or comparator thresholds without external buffering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct operation from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) or regulated 3.3V/5V rails without level shifting. |
| Supply Current | 40μA at 2.7V - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices with 1Hz wake-up intervals. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.500V ±0.4% (A grade) - provides stable, accurate threshold for 12-bit ADCs requiring ≤1 LSB error at full scale. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV (typ) - allows reliable detection of sub-10mV signal differentials in precision sensor interfaces. |
| Propagation Delay | 400ns at 100mV overdrive - supports fast response in overvoltage protection circuits with <500ns fault-clearing latency. |
| Output Drive | Rail-to-rail push-pull, ±8mA - directly drives logic inputs (e.g., MCU GPIO), LEDs, or small MOSFET gates without external buffers. |
| Reference Tempco | 6ppm/°C (typ) - contributes <±0.15% drift over –40°C to +85°C, critical for automotive cabin sensors. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9050AEUK+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 5-pin SOT23 package (package code: -; outline no. 21-0057), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height - compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Comparator output | Rail-to-rail push-pull stage; sinks/sources up to 8mA; no external pull-up required for logic interfacing. |
| 2 (IN−) | Comparator inverting input | Uncommitted input; accepts voltages from VEE − 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V; 1.0pA bias current preserves high-impedance sensor node integrity. |
| 3 (IN+) | Comparator noninverting input | Same rail-to-rail common-mode range as IN−; used for threshold comparison against reference or signal source. |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative supply | Ground reference (0V) in single-supply systems; must be connected to system GND for proper operation. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Primary power input (2.7–5.5V); powers both comparator and reference; bypass capacitor recommended at point-of-load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 40μA quiescent current enables multi-year battery life in portable medical monitors and IoT edge nodes. |
| Integrated 2.500V reference | A-grade (±0.4% initial, 6ppm/°C) eliminates need for external reference IC, reducing BOM count and PCB area by ≥2 components. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Input range extends 250mV beyond rails; output swings within 0.2V of rails at 8mA - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems. |
| Internal hysteresis | ±3mV built-in hysteresis prevents oscillation on noisy or slowly varying inputs (e.g., thermistor outputs), removing need for external feedback resistors. |
| Glitch-free switching | Unique output stage limits supply current surges during transitions - reduces demand on decoupling caps and avoids noise coupling into sensitive analog sections. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX9050AEUK+T?
The MAX9050AEUK+T is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in automotive cabin modules, industrial PLC I/O cards, and outdoor IoT sensor nodes exposed to ambient thermal cycling. The A-grade reference maintains ±0.4% initial accuracy and 6ppm/°C tempco across this full range, as validated in the device's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MAX9050AEUK+T require an external output capacitor on the REF pin?
No, the MAX9050AEUK+T does not require an external capacitor on the REF pin for stability. Its internal design is stable with capacitive loads up to 4.7nF, allowing direct connection to ADC reference inputs or comparator thresholds. An external capacitor may be added only to improve transient response during step-load changes - but omission introduces no oscillation or regulation issues in steady-state operation.
What is the maximum load current the MAX9050AEUK+T reference can source or sink?
The MAX9050AEUK+T reference can source or sink up to ±500μA of load current while maintaining specified accuracy. Load regulation is characterized at 2–4μV/μA for sourcing and 3.5–6μV/μA for sinking, meaning a full ±500μA load shift introduces ≤2.5mV total error - well within the ±10mV window allowed by its ±0.4% (±10mV) initial accuracy specification at 2.500V.
How does the internal hysteresis of MAX9050AEUK+T affect threshold accuracy?
The MAX9050AEUK+T includes fixed internal hysteresis of ±3mV, which creates a 6mV window between upper and lower switching thresholds. This hysteresis improves noise immunity but means the effective threshold is centered within that band. For applications requiring exact 2.500V switching (e.g., precision zero-crossing detection), external resistor networks can override or augment the internal hysteresis using positive feedback - as detailed in the MAX9050AEUK+T datasheet Figure 1.
Can MAX9050AEUK+T be used with a 3.3V supply and still achieve full rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes, the MAX9050AEUK+T achieves true rail-to-rail output swing with a 3.3V supply: VOH = 3.15V (min) at ISOURCE = 3.5mA and VOL = 0.15V (max) at ISINK = 3.5mA. This 3.0V output swing meets 3.3V LVCMOS logic high/low thresholds, enabling direct interfacing with STM32, ESP32, or other 3.3V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage High" and "Output Voltage Low" parameters.
