Product details
Overview
MAX9140AAXK/V+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 (at 3V), 500μV typical offset voltage, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and delivers CMOS/TTL-compatible outputs swinging within 300mV of either rail.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9140AAXK/V+T datasheet, MAX9140AAXK/V+T pinout, MAX9140AAXK/V+T application, or MAX9140AAXK/V+T equivalent, this device is selected for precision threshold detection, battery-powered line receivers, and zero-crossing circuits where low power, fast response, and rail-to-rail input operation are critical in automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The MAX9140AAXK/V+T implements a bipolar process comparator core with internal 1.5mV hysteresis to suppress oscillation during slow input transitions. Its rail-to-rail input stage accepts common-mode 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.
It supports continuous short-circuit tolerance on all pins to either rail and exhibits 80dB CMRR and PSRR over temperature. Unlike MAX9141 variants, it lacks latch enable (LE) and shutdown (SHDN) functions-its simplified 5-pin configuration reflects its role as a dedicated high-speed analog comparator without digital control features.
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 Current | 150μA per comparator at 3V - allows integration into always-on battery-powered sensors without compromising runtime. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.5–2.0mV (typical 0.5mV at +25°C) - ensures accurate threshold detection down to sub-millivolt levels. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Range | –0.2V to VCC + 0.2V - permits direct interface with transducers and DACs operating near supply rails. |
| Output Swing | VOL ≤ 0.425V / VOH ≥ VCC – 0.425V at 4mA - guarantees clean logic-level compatibility with 3.3V/5V CMOS and TTL without pull-ups. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (A grade) - meets under-hood automotive requirements per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. |
| Input Hysteresis | 1.5mV - eliminates chatter on noisy or slowly varying inputs without external feedback components. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9140AAXK/V+T is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (package code X5+1), footprint compatible with land pattern 90-0188, measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm. This ultra-small outline supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive modules and portable instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - N.C. | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no functional impact. |
| 2 - OUT | Comparator Output | CMOS/TTL-compatible active-pull output; sinks up to 4mA, sources up to 4mA; no external pull-up required. |
| 3 - GND | Analog Ground Reference | Primary return path for input stage and output driver; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 - IN+ | Noninverting Input | Differential input node with rail-to-rail common-mode range; protected by back-to-back diodes and 4.1kΩ series resistors. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive Supply | Accepts 2.7V to 5.5V; decoupling capacitor (0.1μF ceramic) must be placed adjacent to this pin for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified (Grade 0) | Validated for automotive applications requiring –40°C to +125°C operation and robust ESD/latch-up immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9140AAUK+T | Same electrical specs and AEC-Q100 qualification; differs only in SOT23-5 package (U5-1) vs. SC70-5 (X5+1). | Suitable where board space allows larger 2.9mm × 1.6mm SOT23 footprint and thermal derating margin is higher (571mW vs. 247mW). | Select MAX9140AAUK+T if preferred for hand-soldering or thermal performance; otherwise MAX9140AAXK/V+T offers superior density. |
| TLV3501DBVR | 4.5ns propagation delay, 2.7–5.5V supply, but not AEC-Q100 qualified; offset voltage 3.5mV (max); no internal hysteresis. | Applicable in non-automotive high-speed test equipment or FPGA timing capture where speed outweighs qualification and hysteresis needs. | Choose TLV3501DBVR only for non-automotive designs requiring <5ns delay; MAX9140AAXK/V+T remains optimal for AEC-Q100-compliant, hysteresis-enabled applications. |
Compared with MAX9140AAUK+T, MAX9140AAXK/V+T provides identical performance in a smaller SC70 package ideal for space-constrained automotive modules, while TLV3501DBVR trades AEC-Q100 compliance and built-in hysteresis for raw speed - making MAX9140AAXK/V+T the balanced choice for qualified, robust, medium-speed threshold detection.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX9140AAXK/V+T?
The MAX9140AAXK/V+T is rated for –40°C to +125°C operation (A grade), fully qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 standards. This extended range supports under-hood automotive deployment, including engine control units and transmission sensors where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. The MAX9140AAXK/V+T maintains specified propagation delay, offset voltage, and output drive capability across this full span.
Does MAX9140AAXK/V+T include latch or shutdown functionality?
No, MAX9140AAXK/V+T does not include latch enable (LE) or shutdown (SHDN) pins. These features are exclusive to the MAX9141 variant. The MAX9140AAXK/V+T is a dedicated single comparator with a minimal 5-pin SC70 footprint - optimized for simplicity, size, and cost in applications requiring only high-speed comparison without digital control overhead.
What package type and dimensions does MAX9140AAXK/V+T use?
MAX9140AAXK/V+T uses a 5-pin SC70 package (X5+1), measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm with a 0.65mm pitch. Its land pattern is documented as 90-0188. This ultra-compact outline enables high-density routing in automotive ADAS modules and portable diagnostic tools where board area is strictly constrained.
Is MAX9140AAXK/V+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX9140AAXK/V+T is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, indicated by the "+" suffix in its part number and package marking (+AUG). It conforms to EU Directive 2011/65/EU and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH without dry-pack requirements.
How does the internal hysteresis of MAX9140AAXK/V+T improve system reliability?
The MAX9140AAXK/V+T integrates a fixed 1.5mV input-referred hysteresis zone that creates distinct upper and lower trip points, preventing output oscillation during slow or noisy input transitions. This eliminates the need for external hysteresis resistors, reducing component count and layout sensitivity - especially valuable in automotive environments where EMI and thermal drift can destabilize marginal comparator decisions.
