Product details
Overview
The MAX9094AUD+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-voltage, open-drain comparator IC in 14-pin TSSOP package, operating from +1.8V to +5.5V with guaranteed performance over -40°C to +125°C. It delivers 100ns propagation delay (at 100mV overdrive), 220–360µA supply current for all four channels, and input common-mode range extending to ground-enabling direct sensing of near-ground signals in battery-powered portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9094AUD+ datasheet, MAX9094AUD+ pinout, MAX9094AUD+ application, or MAX9094AUD+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its quad-channel open-drain output architecture, internal hysteresis-free design (unlike MAX9095), rail-to-rail input capability down to VSS, and automotive-grade temperature support without requiring external hysteresis components.
Technical Context
The MAX9094AUD+ implements four independent voltage comparators with open-drain outputs, no internal hysteresis (distinguishing it from MAX9095), and input stages that accept common-mode voltages from -0.1V below VSS to within 0.8V of VDD. Its BiCMOS process enables low input bias current (±0.0003nA typ at +25°C) and high PSRR (60–90dB).
It supports single-supply operation only, with no phase reversal under overdriven inputs and guaranteed functionality across 1.8V–5.5V supply rails. Output saturation voltage is 120mV max at 4mA sink, and input offset voltage is 0.4–7mV (typ/max) over temperature.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Wider supply range (2–36V), higher supply current (500µA/channel), no guaranteed 1.8V operation or automotive temp support | Suitable for industrial 24V systems but not battery-powered portable designs requiring sub-2V start-up | Select LM339DR only when legacy 36V tolerance or through-hole SOIC-14 packaging is mandatory |
| TLV339IPWR | Lower supply current (38µA/channel), rail-to-rail inputs, but only dual-channel and no -40°C to +125°C guarantee | Fits compact dual-threshold needs but cannot replace MAX9094AUD+ in quad-channel automotive applications | Choose TLV339IPWR for space-constrained dual-comparator use cases where extended temperature is not required |

Yes, MAX9094AUD+ is fully specified and guaranteed to operate from +1.8V to +5.5V across the entire -40°C to +125°C temperature range. The datasheet confirms functional performance including propagation delay, input offset, and supply current at 1.8V under extreme temperature conditions - making it suitable for ultra-low-voltage battery-powered systems deployed in harsh environments.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for MAX9094AUD+?
The input common-mode voltage range for MAX9094AUD+ extends from -0.1V below VSS to VDD - 0.8V. This rail-to-rail input capability - especially the ability to sense signals at or slightly below ground - enables direct interfacing with current-sense amplifiers, battery cell monitors, and ground-referenced sensors without level-shifting circuitry, simplifying design and reducing component count.
Is MAX9094AUD+ pin-compatible with any industry-standard comparators?
Yes, MAX9094AUD+ is pin-for-pin compatible with the LMX339 and LMX339H quad comparators in the 14-pin TSSOP and SO packages.
