Product details
Overview
The MAX9144ESD-T from Analog Devices is a quad high-speed rail-to-rail input comparator optimized for 3V/5V single-supply systems, delivering 40ns propagation delay, 150μA per comparator supply current, and ±0.2V beyond-rail input common-mode range - used in line receivers, threshold discriminators, and zero-crossing detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9144ESD-T datasheet, MAX9144ESD-T pinout, MAX9144ESD-T application, or MAX9144ESD-T equivalent, key selection criteria include propagation delay skew (≤2ns), output swing within 300mV of rails, internal 1.5mV hysteresis, and compatibility with CMOS/TTL logic without external pullups.
Technical Context
The MAX9144ESD-T integrates four independent comparators sharing a common ground and VCC, each featuring bipolar input stage with back-to-back diode protection and 4.1kΩ series resistors to tolerate continuous short-circuit faults to either rail. Input offset voltage is specified at 0.5–2.0mV (TYP/MAX) over -40°C to +85°C.
Its current-driven output stage delivers fast slew rate during transitions and reduces quiescent current after settling, enabling low-power operation while maintaining VOH ≥ VCC – 0.425V and VOL ≤ 0.425V at 4mA load - critical for interfacing directly with mixed-voltage logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 40ns typical at 10mV overdrive - enables reliable sampling of >10MHz signals in timing-critical circuits. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct integration into battery-powered and legacy 5V industrial systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.5–2.0mV (TYP/MAX at +25°C) - ensures accurate threshold detection down to sub-millivolt levels. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | -0.2V to VCC + 0.2V - allows inputs to exceed supply rails, simplifying sensor interface design. |
| Output Swing | VOL ≤ 0.425V / VOH ≥ VCC – 0.425V at 4mA - guarantees robust CMOS/TTL logic compatibility without pullup resistors. |
| Internal Hysteresis | 1.5mV - eliminates oscillation on slow-moving or noisy inputs without external feedback components. |
| Supply Current | 150μA per comparator at 3V - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on monitoring applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9144ESD-T is housed in a 14-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant footprint, and RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Comparator A output - open-drain compatible, sinks up to 4mA, swings within 300mV of GND/VCC. |
| 2 | INA- | Comparator A inverting input - protected by internal diodes and 4.1kΩ series resistors. |
| 3 | INA+ | Comparator A noninverting input - supports rail-to-rail common-mode range including beyond-rail operation. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 5 | INB+ | Comparator B noninverting input - electrically isolated from other channels; matched to INA+ specs. |
| 6 | INB- | Comparator B inverting input - identical protection and bias characteristics as INA-. |
| 7 | OUTB | Comparator B output - independent timing and loading behavior; skew ≤2ns vs. OUTA. |
| 8 | OUTC | Comparator C output - fully functional channel with same propagation delay and drive strength as OUTA. |
| 9 | INC- | Comparator C inverting input - shares same input stage architecture and fault tolerance as other inputs. |
| 10 | INC+ | Comparator C noninverting input - supports identical common-mode and overvoltage specifications. |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply - accepts 2.7V–5.5V; requires local 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor. |
| 12 | IND+ | Comparator D noninverting input - fourth independent channel; no shared internal nodes with A/B/C. |
| 13 | IND- | Comparator D inverting input - full differential input protection and rail-to-rail operation. |
| 14 | OUTD | Comparator D output - matches all electrical timing and drive specs of other outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input range | Extends 0.2V beyond both supply rails - eliminates level-shifting circuitry for sensors operating near GND or VCC. |
| Internal 1.5mV hysteresis | Prevents chatter on slow or noisy inputs - removes need for external positive feedback resistors. |
| CMOS/TTL-compatible outputs | Swing within 300mV of rails at 4mA - interfaces directly to 3.3V/5V logic without pullup resistors or translators. |
| Continuous short-circuit tolerance | Withstands indefinite short to VCC or GND on any input/output - enhances system reliability in harsh environments. |
| Low 150μA/comparator supply current | Enables multi-channel monitoring in battery-powered devices with minimal impact on runtime. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad high-speed comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Slower (1.3μs propagation delay), higher supply current (500μA/channel), no rail-to-rail inputs, no internal hysteresis. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-high-speed applications where precision timing is not required. | Choose LM339DR only when speed <100kHz and power budget >200μA/channel are acceptable. |
| TLV3704IPW | Faster (120ns), lower supply current (80μA/channel), rail-to-rail inputs, but no internal hysteresis and narrower supply range (2.7–5.5V same, but less robust fault tolerance). | Better for ultra-low-power battery systems needing faster response than MAX9144ESD-T but tolerating external hysteresis design. | Select TLV3704IPW when minimizing quiescent current is primary and board space allows hysteresis resistors. |
Compared with LM339DR and TLV3704IPW, the MAX9144ESD-T uniquely combines 40ns speed, 150μA/channel power, rail-to-rail inputs, and built-in 1.5mV hysteresis - making it optimal for high-fidelity signal conditioning in space-constrained, mixed-voltage designs requiring zero external components for stable switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the MAX9144ESD-T?
The MAX9144ESD-T supports an absolute maximum supply voltage of +6V between VCC and GND. Its recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V, ensuring compatibility with both 3V and 5V systems while maintaining specified performance across temperature. Exceeding 6V may cause permanent damage, per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the MAX9144ESD-T require external pullup resistors on its outputs?
No, the MAX9144ESD-T does not require external pullup resistors. Its outputs actively pull to within 0.3V of either supply rail under 4mA load, providing full CMOS/TTL logic compatibility. This rail-to-rail output swing eliminates external components and simplifies PCB layout for digital interfacing.
What is the input common-mode voltage range specification for the MAX9144ESD-T?
The MAX9144ESD-T features a rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending from -0.2V to VCC + 0.2V. This allows inputs to operate safely beyond both supply rails, supporting direct connection to sensors or signals that swing below GND or above VCC without clamping or distortion.
How many independent comparators are integrated in the MAX9144ESD-T?
The MAX9144ESD-T integrates four fully independent high-speed comparators (A, B, C, D) in a single 14-pin SO package. Each channel has dedicated IN+, IN-, and OUT pins, with no shared internal circuitry affecting timing or accuracy between channels.
Is the MAX9144ESD-T qualified for automotive applications?
No, the MAX9144ESD-T is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the MAX9140AAXK/V+T variant is explicitly stated as AEC-Q100 qualified in the datasheet. The MAX9144ESD-T is rated for the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and intended for commercial and industrial applications, not automotive-grade deployment.
