Product details
Overview
MAX9051AEUT-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 (typ), and 400ns propagation delay. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and is used in battery-powered precision threshold detection circuits such as portable medical sensors and low-power IoT node voltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9051AEUT-T datasheet, MAX9051AEUT-T pinout, MAX9051AEUT-T application, or MAX9051AEUT-T equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role, A-grade reference accuracy (±0.4%), temperature coefficient (6ppm/°C), rail-to-rail output drive (8mA), and SOT23-6 package mapping - all confirmed from Analog Devices' official datasheet Rev 13 (10/23).
Technical Context
The MAX9051AEUT-T integrates one comparator and one series-mode voltage reference on a single CMOS die. Its comparator features internal ±3mV hysteresis, rail-to-rail input range extending 250mV beyond supply rails, and a push-pull output stage capable of sourcing/sinking 8mA. The reference uses laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and curvature correction for stable 2.500V output.
Unlike MAX9038 (open-drain) or MAX9040 (IN− tied to REF), the MAX9051AEUT-T has an uncommitted inverting input (IN−), enabling flexible external hysteresis or window comparator configurations. Its 40μA quiescent current remains stable across –40°C to +85°C, with power-up time under 20µs and reference settling within 200µs to 1% of final value.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2V) or regulated 3.3V/5V rails without level shifting. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 40μA at 2.7V - enables >1-year operation on a 200mAh coin cell in wake-sleep sensor nodes. |
| Reference Output Voltage | 2.500V ±0.4% (A grade) - provides accurate ADC reference or comparator trip point without external trimming. |
| Reference Tempco | 6ppm/°C (typ) - drift <±0.15mV over –40°C to +85°C, critical for precision battery voltage monitoring. |
| Propagation Delay | 400ns at 100mV overdrive - ensures fast response to transient events like overvoltage faults in power management. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV (typ), ±7.0mV (max) - enables detection of sub-10mV signal changes in low-level sensor interfaces. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Drive | Sinks/sources 8mA - directly drives LEDs, logic inputs, or small MOSFET gates without buffer stages. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9051AEUT-T is packaged in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 (package code UT), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height - compatible with standard high-volume pick-and-place assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Comparator Output | Push-pull rail-to-rail output; sinks/sources up to 8mA; no external pull-up required. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting Input | Uncommitted input - enables external feedback for hysteresis or differential sensing. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting Input | High-impedance (1pA bias current) input; common-mode range extends 250mV beyond rails. |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative Supply | Ground reference (0V); must be connected - not floating - for proper comparator operation. |
| 5 (REF) | Voltage Reference Output | Stable 2.500V source; supplies up to 500μA load; stable with 0–4.7nF capacitive loads. |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive Supply | 2.7–5.5V input; powers both comparator and reference; PSRR >55dB minimizes supply noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2.500V A-grade reference | 0.4% initial accuracy and 6ppm/°C tempco eliminate need for external reference IC or trimming resistors. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O with extended CMVR | Input range from VEE–0.25V to VCC+0.25V allows direct sensing of signals near supply rails (e.g., battery end-of-discharge at 2.7V). |
| Low-switching-current output stage | Minimal supply current surge during transitions reduces PCB supply filtering requirements and extends battery life. |
| Internal ±3mV hysteresis | Prevents output oscillation on slow-moving or noisy inputs (e.g., thermistor outputs), eliminating need for external hysteresis resistors. |
| Capacitive-load-stable reference | Operates stably with 0–4.7nF output capacitance - supports local decoupling or EMI filtering without instability risk. |

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 | 5-pin SOT23; IN− internally tied to REF pin - fixed hysteresis configuration, no external feedback path. | Less flexible for custom hysteresis or differential inputs; suited for simple single-threshold detection only. | Select MAX9050AEUK+T when board space is constrained and IN− connection is unnecessary. |
| TLV4041IDBVR | Single comparator only (no integrated reference); requires external 2.5V reference; 650nA supply current; 3.5µs propagation delay. | Higher total BOM count and power; slower response; suitable where reference sharing across multiple comparators is needed. | Select TLV4041IDBVR when integrating into multi-comparator systems using shared reference rails. |
Compared with MAX9050AEUK+T and TLV4041IDBVR, the MAX9051AEUT-T uniquely combines A-grade 2.500V reference, uncommitted IN−, and 40μA/400ns performance in a 6-pin SOT23 - optimizing size, accuracy, and design flexibility for standalone threshold detection.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy and temperature stability of the MAX9051AEUT-T?
The MAX9051AEUT-T features an A-grade 2.500V voltage reference with ±0.4% initial accuracy and a typical temperature coefficient of 6ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C. This translates to less than ±0.15mV drift across the full temperature range, making it suitable for precision battery monitoring and calibration-critical applications where the MAX9051AEUT-T's reference eliminates need for external trimming.
Does the MAX9051AEUT-T have an open-drain or push-pull output?
The MAX9051AEUT-T has a rail-to-rail push-pull output stage that can both sink and source up to 8mA. Unlike the MAX9038 (open-drain), the MAX9051AEUT-T does not require an external pull-up resistor, simplifying interface to CMOS logic or driving small loads directly - a key feature confirmed in the MAX9051AEUT-T functional diagrams and electrical characteristics table.
Can the MAX9051AEUT-T operate from a 3.0V supply, and what is its supply current at that voltage?
Yes, the MAX9051AEUT-T operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, so 3.0V is fully supported. At 3.0V, its supply current is approximately 42μA (interpolated from 40μA at 2.7V and 45μA at 5.0V per datasheet Table "Electrical Characteristics-A Grade"), enabling robust operation in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline-powered systems where the MAX9051AEUT-T maintains full functionality without brownout.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX9051AEUT-T reference output can drive while remaining stable?
The MAX9051AEUT-T reference output is stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 4.7nF, as explicitly specified in the datasheet's "Capacitive-Load Stability Range" parameter. This allows direct addition of local decoupling capacitors (e.g., 100nF ceramic) for noise reduction without risking oscillation - a verified design margin for the MAX9051AEUT-T reference stage.
How does the MAX9051AEUT-T handle input voltages outside the supply rails?
The MAX9051AEUT-T's inputs tolerate voltages from VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V, meaning they extend 250mV beyond each rail. Input bias current remains low (1pA typ) within the rails but increases exponentially beyond due to forward-biased internal protection diodes - a behavior documented in the MAX9051AEUT-T's "Comparator Input Stage Circuitry" section and validated in absolute maximum ratings.
