Product details
Overview
MAX9050BEUK+T from Analog Devices is a micropower single-supply comparator with integrated 2.500V precision voltage reference, designed for battery-operated systems requiring rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, 40μA quiescent current, ±3mV internal hysteresis, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V. It delivers 400ns propagation delay and supports precision window detection in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9050BEUK+T datasheet, MAX9050BEUK+T pinout, MAX9050BEUK+T application, or MAX9050BEUK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its A/B-grade reference accuracy (1% initial, 100ppm/°C tempco), SOT23-5 package footprint, push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking 8mA, and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 4.7nF on the REF pin.
Technical Context
The MAX9050BEUK+T integrates a single high-precision comparator with a laser-trimmed series-mode voltage reference. Its input stage features rail-to-rail common-mode range extending 250mV beyond supply rails and 1.0pA typical input bias current. The comparator uses internal ±3mV hysteresis to ensure clean switching with slow-moving signals.
The reference section provides a stable 2.500V output with B-grade specifications: ±1% initial accuracy and 100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. It sources or sinks up to 500μA while maintaining stability across 0–4.7nF capacitive loads and exhibits 84dB ripple rejection at 120Hz.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Portable Battery Monitoring | Industrial Level Translation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time monitoring of Li-ion cell voltage during charging/discharging cycles in handheld medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator compares cell voltage against 2.500V reference to trigger charge termination or low-battery alert. Use Value: 1% reference accuracy ensures ±25mV trip-point tolerance; 40μA supply current minimizes self-discharge impact on battery runtime. | Use Scenario: Converting 0–2.4V analog sensor outputs to clean 0/5V logic levels in PLC input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reference sets precise 2.500V threshold; comparator provides fast, glitch-free digital output with rail-to-rail drive. Use Value: Push-pull output eliminates need for external pull-up resistors; 400ns delay supports sampling rates up to 1MHz. |
| IR Receiver Front-End | Window Comparator Subsystem |
Use Scenario: Demodulating 38kHz IR carrier bursts in remote-control receivers with high ambient light immunity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator detects envelope amplitude against 2.500V reference; internal hysteresis rejects optical noise transients. Use Value: 1.0pA input bias prevents DC error accumulation in high-impedance photodiode bias networks. | Use Scenario: Validating that a 3.3V power rail remains within ±5% tolerance (3.135V–3.465V) in telecom line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Paired with second comparator (e.g., MAX9051), forms one half of a window detector using shared 2.500V reference. Use Value: Identical reference voltage across both comparators eliminates tracking error; B-grade tempco ensures <±10mV total drift over temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator + reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9050AEUK+T | A-grade reference: ±0.4% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C tempco vs. B-grade's ±1%, 100ppm/°C | Suitable for metrology-grade thresholding where long-term stability and minimal thermal drift are critical | Select MAX9050AEUK+T when reference accuracy dominates system error budget; MAX9050BEUK+T suffices for cost-sensitive industrial monitoring. |
| TLV4041IDBVR | Single comparator only; no integrated reference; requires external 2.5V reference (e.g., REF3025); 850nA IQ | Higher design flexibility but larger solution size and increased component count; not drop-in compatible | Choose TLV4041IDBVR only if independent reference sourcing or ultra-low IQ (<1μA) is mandatory; MAX9050BEUK+T offers tighter integration and lower total solution cost. |
Compared with MAX9050AEUK+T, the MAX9050BEUK+T trades reference precision for lower unit cost and broader tempco tolerance, while versus TLV4041IDBVR it delivers complete signal-chain integration at higher quiescent current but significantly reduced layout complexity and bill-of-materials count.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy and temperature coefficient of the MAX9050BEUK+T?
The MAX9050BEUK+T features a B-grade 2.500V voltage reference with ±1% initial accuracy and a temperature coefficient of 100ppm/°C. This means the output voltage may drift up to ±2.5mV over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. These values are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "B Grade (1% Initial Accuracy)" in the official datasheet.
Does the MAX9050BEUK+T have an open-drain or push-pull output?
The MAX9050BEUK+T has a rail-to-rail push-pull output stage, unlike the MAX9038 which uses open-drain. This allows the MAX9050BEUK+T to actively drive both high and low logic states without requiring an external pull-up resistor. It can source and sink up to 8mA, making it suitable for direct interfacing with CMOS inputs or driving small indicator loads.
Can the MAX9050BEUK+T operate from a 2.5V supply?
No, the MAX9050BEUK+T requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.7V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. While earlier family members like MAX9040 support 2.5V, the MAX9050–MAX9053 series begins operation at 2.7V to ensure proper reference regulation and comparator performance across temperature and process variation.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported on the REF pin of the MAX9050BEUK+T?
The MAX9050BEUK+T reference output is stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 4.7nF, as confirmed in the "Capacitive-Load Stability Range" specification (CL(VREF)) under both A- and B-grade Electrical Characteristics. This allows designers to add local filtering or decoupling capacitance without risking oscillation or degraded settling time.
Is the MAX9050BEUK+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX90xx family?
The MAX9050BEUK+T uses the 5-pin SOT23 package and shares identical pinout with MAX9040BEUK+T and MAX9050AEUK+T (OUT, IN+, VEE, REF, VCC). However, it is not pin-compatible with 6-pin variants (e.g., MAX9041, MAX9051) or UCSP-packaged parts due to differing pin counts and terminal assignments. Always verify pin configuration using the "Pin Configurations" section of the datasheet before board reuse.
