Product details
Overview
MAX9052AEUA from Analog Devices is a dual comparator with integrated 2.500V precision voltage reference in an 8-pin µMAX package, operating from 2.7V to 5.5V supply. It delivers rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, 55μA quiescent current, ±3mV internal hysteresis, and 400ns propagation delay - ideal for low-power battery management and window detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9052AEUA datasheet, MAX9052AEUA pinout, MAX9052AEUA application, or MAX9052AEUA equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-comparator + reference integration, A-grade 0.4% initial accuracy, 6ppm/°C tempco, and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 4.7nF on the REF output.
Technical Context
The MAX9052AEUA integrates two independent comparators sharing a single high-accuracy 2.500V reference, with both comparator inputs extending 250mV beyond supply rails (VEE–0.25V to VCC+0.25V). Each comparator features 1.0pA typical input bias current and ±0.5mV typical input offset voltage over temperature.
Its push-pull output stage sinks/sources up to 8mA while limiting switching current surges, and internal ±3mV hysteresis ensures clean transitions with slow-moving signals - eliminating need for external hysteresis in most precision threshold applications.

Applications
| Battery Voltage Window Detection | Precision IR Receiver Thresholding |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during charge/discharge to enforce 2.7V undervoltage lockout and 4.2V overvoltage cutoff. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares cell voltage against 2.500V reference-derived thresholds to generate independent UVLO/OVLO flags. Use Value: Eliminates need for external voltage dividers and reference ICs - reduces BOM count by 3 components and improves long-term threshold stability. | Use Scenario: Converting modulated IR photodiode output into clean digital pulses for remote control decoding. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator detects signal presence above noise floor; second sets dynamic hysteresis band using REF voltage. Use Value: 400ns propagation delay and rail-to-rail output ensure accurate pulse timing at 38kHz carrier frequency without jitter. |
| Industrial Sensor Level Translation | Low-Power Data Line Receiver |
Use Scenario: Interfacing 0–2.4V analog sensor output to 3.3V microcontroller ADC with precise 1.2V and 1.8V trip points. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses REF (2.500V) to generate scaled thresholds via resistor dividers; dual comparators monitor upper/lower bounds. Use Value: 1.0pA input bias current prevents loading of high-impedance sensor outputs - preserves signal integrity without buffer op-amps. | Use Scenario: Receiving RS-232-like logic levels (±5V) in ultra-low-power IoT edge node with 3.3V MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First comparator converts negative input to logic-high; second validates positive swing - forming robust line receiver. Use Value: Input common-mode range extending 250mV beyond rails allows direct connection to ±5V lines with only series current-limiting resistors. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9052BEUA | B-grade reference: 1% initial accuracy, 100ppm/°C tempco vs. A-grade's 0.4%/6ppm | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer devices where ±2.5mV reference error is acceptable | Select when long-term stability and wide-temperature accuracy are non-critical. |
| TLV3602IDR | No integrated reference; requires external 2.5V reference; higher 100μA supply current | Offers rail-to-rail input with 1.8V min supply - better for sub-2.7V systems | Choose if system already includes precision reference or operates below 2.7V. |
Compared with MAX9052BEUA, the MAX9052AEUA provides tighter reference accuracy and lower tempco for metrology-grade thresholding; versus TLV3602IDR, it trades off supply flexibility for full integration and lower quiescent power in 2.7V+ systems.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage accuracy and temperature coefficient of the MAX9052AEUA?
The MAX9052AEUA features an A-grade 2.500V precision reference with ±0.4% initial accuracy and a typical temperature coefficient of 6ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed by design and verified across production lots, enabling high-accuracy threshold generation without calibration in portable instrumentation and sensor systems using the MAX9052AEUA.
Does the MAX9052AEUA require an external capacitor on the REF pin for stability?
No, the MAX9052AEUA does not require an external capacitor on the REF pin for stability - it is inherently stable with capacitive loads from 0 to 4.7nF. An optional capacitor may be added to improve transient response during step-load changes, but omission introduces no risk of oscillation. This simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in designs using the MAX9052AEUA.
What is the maximum load current the REF output can source or sink?
The REF output of the MAX9052AEUA can source or sink up to ±500μA while maintaining specified accuracy and stability. Load regulation is characterized at 2–4µV/µA for sourcing and 3.5–6µV/µA for sinking, ensuring minimal voltage shift under typical reference-buffering or divider-loading conditions encountered when using the MAX9052AEUA in precision analog circuits.
Can the MAX9052AEUA operate from a 2.5V supply?
No, the MAX9052AEUA requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.7V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics tables. While earlier family members (e.g., MAX9040–MAX9043) support 2.5V operation, the MAX9052AEUA's 2.500V reference architecture mandates ≥2.7V to ensure proper headroom for internal regulation - attempting 2.5V operation will result in undefined reference output and comparator behavior for the MAX9052AEUA.
How does the internal hysteresis of the MAX9052AEUA affect threshold accuracy?
The MAX9052AEUA incorporates fixed ±3mV internal hysteresis centered on the comparator's input offset voltage, which is typically ±0.5mV. This results in a total hysteresis band of ~6mV, improving noise immunity without requiring external components. When designing threshold points, users must account for this hysteresis - for example, a nominal 2.500V trip point becomes 2.497V (low-to-high) and 2.503V (high-to-low) - a critical consideration in precision window detection using the MAX9052AEUA.
