Product details
Overview
The MAX9092AKA+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel, low-voltage, open-drain comparator IC designed for precision threshold detection in space-constrained portable systems. It operates from +1.8V to +5.5V, delivers 100ns propagation delay (100mV overdrive), features ±0.4mV typical input offset voltage, and supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to ground - enabling direct sensing of battery or sensor signals in mobile power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9092AKA+T datasheet, MAX9092AKA+T pinout, MAX9092AKA+T application, or MAX9092AKA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual open-drain output architecture, guaranteed -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature operation, 65µA per channel supply current at 5V, and compatibility with LM393/LM339-based designs requiring low-power, small-footprint comparators.
Technical Context
The MAX9092AKA+T implements a BiCMOS process-based dual-comparator core with no phase reversal under overdriven inputs and rail-to-rail input stage that accepts common-mode voltages from VSS − 0.1V to VDD − 0.8V. Its open-drain outputs require external pull-up resistors and support wired-OR logic configurations for level translation or interrupt generation.
Unlike the hysteresis-equipped MAX9093/MAX9095 variants, the MAX9092AKA+T has no internal hysteresis - making it suitable for applications where precise, adjustable trip points are required via external feedback networks. Propagation delay remains stable across 1.8V–5.5V supply range and shows minimal variation over temperature (±10ns from -40°C to +125°C at 100mV overdrive).

Pinout & Package
MAX9092AKA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Open-drain output of Comparator A - requires external pull-up; sinks up to 16mA at VOUT ≤ 1.5V |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input of Comparator A - referenced against INA+ to determine output state; accepts −0.1V to VDD − 0.8V |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input of Comparator A - primary threshold reference node; matched bias current minimizes offset error |
| 4 | VSS | Negative supply terminal - must be connected to system ground; serves as return path for input and output currents |
| 5 | INB+ | Noninverting input of Comparator B - independent threshold input; electrically isolated from INA± |
| 6 | INB− | Inverting input of Comparator B - forms second independent comparison pair with INB+ |
| 7 | OUTB | Open-drain output of Comparator B - functionally identical to OUTA; supports separate or shared pull-up |
| 8 | VDD | Positive supply terminal - powers both comparators; bypass capacitor (0.1µF) required between VDD and VSS |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual open-drain comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Wider supply range (2–36V), higher input offset (7mV typ), slower propagation (300ns), no guaranteed 1.8V operation | Preferred for industrial 24V systems; unsuitable for sub-2V battery monitoring | Select LM393DR only if supply exceeds 2.5V and timing budget allows >200ns delay |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower supply current (55µA/ch), rail-to-rail inputs/outputs, but push-pull (not open-drain) outputs and no automotive temp grade | Used in ultra-low-power wearables; incompatible with wired-OR interrupt buses | Choose TLV3702IDR only when push-pull drive and <2.5V operation are mandatory, and automotive qualification is not required |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, the MAX9092AKA+T uniquely balances automotive-grade temperature range, true 1.8V operation, open-drain flexibility, and sub-100ns speed - making it optimal for next-generation battery-powered automotive and portable electronics where footprint, power, and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating supply voltage for the MAX9092AKA+T?
The MAX9092AKA+T is fully specified to operate down to +1.8V, with guaranteed performance including propagation delay, input offset, and output saturation voltage across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. At 1.8V, supply current drops to ~50µA per channel, supporting ultra-low-power battery monitoring applications where traditional comparators fail to start or behave predictably.
Does the MAX9092AKA+T include internal hysteresis?
No, the MAX9092AKA+T does not include internal hysteresis. Unlike the MAX9093/MAX9095 variants in the same family, the MAX9092AKA+T is designed for applications requiring precise, externally adjustable thresholds - such as window comparators or zero-crossing detectors where user-defined hysteresis is added via positive feedback resistors. This absence of fixed hysteresis preserves threshold accuracy and avoids unintended dead-band effects.
Can the MAX9092AKA+T drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 5V while maintaining logic-low levels below 200mV?
Yes, the MAX9092AKA+T can reliably sink current into a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V and maintain VOL ≤ 120mV (typ) at ISINK ≤ 1mA, well within specification. With 10kΩ pull-up, sink current is ~0.5mA - resulting in <100mV output low voltage at +25°C and <400mV at +125°C, satisfying standard TTL and CMOS input low-level requirements across temperature.
Is the MAX9092AKA+T pin-compatible with the LM393?
Yes, the MAX9092AKA+T is explicitly designed as a pin-for-pin compatible replacement for the LM393 in 8-pin SOT23 packages. Pin mapping matches exactly: VDD (pin 8), GND/VSS (pin 4), OUTA (pin 1), OUTB (pin 7), INA+/INB+ (pins 3/5), and INA−/INB− (pins 2/6). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from LM393 to MAX9092AKA+T for improved speed, lower power, or extended temperature operation.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX9092AKA+T outputs can drive without significant propagation delay degradation?
The MAX9092AKA+T maintains stable 100ns propagation delay (100mV overdrive) up to 50pF capacitive load, as verified in typical operating characteristics. Beyond 50pF, delay increases linearly - reaching ~150ns at 200pF. For loads >100pF, a series resistor (e.g., 50Ω) placed near the output pin is recommended to damp ringing and preserve edge integrity in long-trace or high-noise environments.
