Product details
Overview
MAX9050BEUK-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, ±3mV internal hysteresis, 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 MAX9050BEUK-T datasheet, MAX9050BEUK-T pinout, MAX9050BEUK-T application, or MAX9050BEUK-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23-5 package mapping, real-world use scenarios, and two validated alternative parts for design-in flexibility under tight power and accuracy constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX9050BEUK-T integrates a single comparator with a dedicated 2.500V series-mode voltage reference. Its comparator input stage supports common-mode voltages from VEE −0.25V to VCC +0.25V and exhibits 1.0pA typical input bias current and ±0.5mV typical input offset voltage. The reference uses laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and curvature correction for stability.
The output stage provides rail-to-rail push-pull operation capable of sinking and sourcing up to 8mA, while internal hysteresis ensures clean switching on slow signals. Supply current remains stable across temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and switching frequency, with no significant surge during transitions-enabling robust performance in battery-powered systems without large bypass capacitors.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator with REF pin used in conjunction with external resistive divider to define window boundaries. Use Value: 400ns delay and rail-to-rail output ensure fast response to out-of-window events without timing uncertainty. |
| IR Receivers | Digital Line Receivers |
Use Scenario: Converting modulated IR photodiode output into clean digital pulses for microcontroller decoding. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator detects zero-crossings or amplitude thresholds; REF sets consistent decision level independent of supply variation.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator acts as level translator and noise filter; REF provides stable 2.5V threshold for 3.3V logic compatibility. Use Value: Rail-to-rail output ensures full-swing logic levels compatible with downstream FPGA or MCU inputs. |
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 | Same package and pinout; A-grade reference (±0.4% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C tempco) vs. B-grade (±1%, 100ppm/°C) | Required where <±0.1% total reference error over temperature is critical (e.g., precision data acquisition) | Select MAX9050AEUK+T when long-term accuracy outweighs cost sensitivity; MAX9050BEUK-T suits cost-constrained battery monitors. |
| TLV4041IDBVR | Single comparator only (no integrated reference); requires external 2.5V reference; 350ns propagation delay; 850nA supply current | Used when reference must be shared across multiple comparators or when higher speed is needed | Choose TLV4041IDBVR if system already includes a precision reference; MAX9050BEUK-T reduces component count where standalone thresholding is needed. |
Compared with MAX9050AEUK+T, the MAX9050BEUK-T trades reference accuracy for lower cost and broader tempco tolerance, while TLV4041IDBVR offers faster response but demands external reference support and increases board area and BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy specification for MAX9050BEUK-T?
The MAX9050BEUK-T features a B-grade 2.500V voltage reference with ±1% initial accuracy (±25mV) and a temperature coefficient of 100ppm/°C. At +25°C, the output is guaranteed between 2.475V and 2.525V. This accuracy level is sufficient for non-critical threshold detection in battery monitoring and industrial control applications where cost efficiency is prioritized over metrology-grade precision.
Can MAX9050BEUK-T operate from a 2.5V supply?
No, MAX9050BEUK-T requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.7V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.7V may result in undefined reference output, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet specified hysteresis and input offset performance. For 2.5V systems, consider the MAX9040BEUK+T (2.048V reference, 2.5V min supply) or verify compatibility via bench testing under worst-case conditions.
Does MAX9050BEUK-T require an external capacitor on the REF pin?
No, the MAX9050BEUK-T is internally compensated and stable with 0–4.7nF capacitive loads on the REF pin. An external capacitor is optional and recommended only in applications subject to rapid load or supply transients, where it improves transient response and reduces overshoot. In static or low-dynamic applications like battery voltage monitoring, the REF capacitor may be omitted to save board space and cost.
What is the maximum sink/source current capability of the MAX9050BEUK-T output?
The MAX9050BEUK-T output stage can sink and source up to 8mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing. At VCC = 5V and ISINK = 8mA, VOL is guaranteed ≤0.55V; at VCC = 2.7V and ISINK = 3.5mA, VOL ≤0.4V. This drive strength allows direct interfacing with standard logic inputs, LED indicators, or small MOSFET gates without external buffers-reducing component count in compact sensor nodes.
How does the internal hysteresis of MAX9050BEUK-T affect its use in noisy environments?
The MAX9050BEUK-T incorporates fixed ±3mV internal hysteresis, which prevents output oscillation when input signals cross the decision threshold slowly or contain noise within that band. This eliminates the need for external positive feedback resistors in most applications, simplifying design and improving reliability in EMI-prone industrial settings. For wider hysteresis (e.g., >10mV), external resistor networks can be added per the datasheet's Application Information section.
