Product details
Overview
MAX9140AAUK+T from Analog Devices is a single high-speed rail-to-rail input comparator optimized for 3V/5V single-supply systems, featuring 40ns propagation delay, 150μA supply current per comparator, and 500μV typical offset voltage. It operates across –40°C to +85°C (E grade), delivers CMOS/TTL-compatible outputs swinging within 300mV of either rail, and is used in battery-powered threshold detection and line receiver circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9140AAUK+T datasheet, MAX9140AAUK+T pinout, MAX9140AAUK+T application, or MAX9140AAUK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay vs. supply current trade-off, rail-to-rail input common-mode range (–0.2V to VCC + 0.2V), output drive capability (4mA sink/source), and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX9140AAUK+T implements a bipolar-input comparator architecture with internal 1.5mV hysteresis to suppress oscillation during slow-moving or noise-prone input transitions. Its rail-to-rail input stage accepts voltages from –0.2V to VCC + 0.2V, and its current-driven output stage delivers VOH ≥ VCC – 0.425V and VOL ≤ 0.425V at 4mA load.
Designed for low-noise, high-speed decision-making, it avoids external hysteresis resistors and pull-up networks. Input bias current remains below 350nA over temperature, and PSRR exceeds 750µV/V across 2.7V–5.5V supply range - critical for stable operation in noisy mixed-signal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 40ns at 10mV overdrive - enables reliable sampling of >10MHz signals in timing-critical discriminators. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into both 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 6.0mV (–40°C to +85°C) - ensures accurate threshold detection down to sub-mV signal margins. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Range | –0.2V to VCC + 0.2V - allows interface with sensors or DACs operating beyond supply rails, e.g., ±100mV headroom. |
| Output Drive | 4mA sink/source - directly drives standard CMOS/TTL inputs without external buffering or pull-ups. |
| Quiescent Current | 150μA per comparator at 3V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications like smoke detectors. |
| Input Hysteresis | 1.5mV - eliminates chatter on noisy or slowly varying inputs without requiring external feedback components. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9140AAUK+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (U5-1 land pattern, 0.95mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. The compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint supports thermal dissipation up to 571mW at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Comparator output | CMOS/TTL-compatible push-pull output; swings within 300mV of VCC or GND - no external pull-up needed. |
| 2 - IN− | Inverting input | Differential input terminal; accepts rail-to-rail common-mode voltage; protected against ±20mA continuous fault current. |
| 3 - IN+ | Noninverting input | Differential input terminal; identical voltage range and fault tolerance as IN−; forms core sensing node. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for input stage and output driver; must connect to solid ground plane for stability. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Single power rail (2.7V–5.5V); requires local 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed <1mm from pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input operation | Enables direct interface with sensors, DACs, or op-amps whose outputs swing beyond supply rails - eliminates level-shifting circuitry. |
| Internal 1.5mV hysteresis | Guarantees clean, chatter-free switching on slow or noisy inputs - removes need for external positive-feedback resistors. |
| 40ns propagation delay | Supports real-time response in high-speed zero-crossing detection and sampling circuits up to ~25MHz effective bandwidth. |
| 150μA supply current (3V) | Reduces system-level power budget in battery-powered IoT nodes - enables multi-year operation on coin cells. |
| Output swing within 300mV of rails | Ensures full logic-level compatibility with 3.3V and 5V CMOS/TTL families without external pull-up resistors or translators. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Threshold Detector | 3.3V Line Receiver |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed comparator with hysteresis rejecting noise near zero crossing point; output drives microcontroller interrupt pin. Use Value: Internal 1.5mV hysteresis prevents false triggering on EMI; 40ns delay ensures timing jitter <100ns at 50/60Hz - critical for harmonic analysis accuracy. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-power comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV7215M5X/NOPB | Slower 65ns delay; higher 320μA supply current; no internal hysteresis - requires external resistor network. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed discriminators where layout area permits hysteresis components. | Choose LMV7215M5X/NOPB only if 40ns speed is unnecessary and BOM simplification via integrated hysteresis is not required. |
| TLV3501CDBVR | Faster 4.5ns delay but consumes 8.5mA; rail-to-rail input limited to VSS + 0.1V to VDD – 0.1V - no beyond-rail capability. | Better for ultra-high-speed sampling clocks but incompatible with sensors exceeding supply rails or low-power battery use. | Choose TLV3501CDBVR only when nanosecond timing dominates and power budget exceeds 1mA per channel. |
Compared with LMV7215M5X/NOPB and TLV3501CDBVR, MAX9140AAUK+T uniquely balances 40ns speed, 150μA power, rail-to-rail input beyond supplies, and integrated hysteresis - making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained 3V/5V portable and industrial sensing nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MAX9140AAUK+T?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC to GND) for MAX9140AAUK+T is +6V. However, the recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V per datasheet specifications. Exceeding 5.5V may cause parametric degradation or reliability risk, even if within absolute maximum limits. Always operate MAX9140AAUK+T within its specified 2.7V–5.5V range for guaranteed performance and lifetime compliance.
Does MAX9140AAUK+T include internal hysteresis, and what is its value?
Yes, MAX9140AAUK+T includes fixed internal hysteresis of 1.5mV, specified as input-referred hysteresis width. This eliminates the need for external positive-feedback resistors in most noise-prone applications. The hysteresis ensures clean output transitions even with slow-moving or low-slew-rate input signals - a key differentiator from comparators requiring external hysteresis networks.
Can MAX9140AAUK+T interface directly with 3.3V CMOS logic without pull-up resistors?
Yes, MAX9140AAUK+T outputs swing to within 300mV of VCC and GND under 4mA load, meeting standard 3.3V CMOS VIH (≥2.0V) and VIL (≤0.8V) thresholds. Its push-pull output structure provides active drive in both states - no external pull-up resistors are required for reliable interfacing with 3.3V logic families such as those found in microcontrollers and FPGAs.
What is the operating temperature range for MAX9140AAUK+T?
MAX9140AAUK+T is an E-grade device rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is fully specified and production-tested per datasheet conditions. It is not qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 - that designation applies only to MAX9140AAXK/V+T (SC70 package), not the SOT23-packaged MAX9140AAUK+T.
Is MAX9140AAUK+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX914x family?
No, MAX9140AAUK+T is not pin-compatible with MAX9141, MAX9142, or MAX9144 due to differing pin counts and functions (e.g., LE, SHDN, multiple outputs). It uses a dedicated 5-pin SOT23 configuration with only IN+, IN−, OUT, VCC, and GND. Substituting other MAX914x variants requires PCB redesign - MAX9140AAUK+T serves exclusively as a single-channel, no-control-pin comparator.
