Product details
Overview
The MAX922CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-power voltage comparator with TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs, 4μA max supply current over temperature, single +2.5V to +11V or dual ±1.25V to ±5.5V operation, and rail-to-rail input range extending to within 1.3V of V+. It serves as a precision threshold detector in battery-powered instrumentation and low-voltage monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX922CSA+ datasheet, MAX922CSA+ pinout, MAX922CSA+ application, or MAX922CSA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options, and supply-chain support details specific to the MAX922CSA+ commercial-grade 8-pin SO package.
Technical Context
The MAX922CSA+ contains two independent comparators without internal reference or programmable hysteresis-unlike MAX921/MAX923-making external reference and feedback mandatory for thresholding. Its output stage sources up to 40mA continuously and sinks >5mA, with no crowbar current during transitions, eliminating supply-line glitches and parasitic feedback.
Input common-mode range spans V− to (V+ − 1.3V); inputs tolerate −0.3V to (V+ + 0.3V). Output swing is from V+ to V− (not GND), requiring V− connection to ground for TTL compatibility under +5V single-supply operation. Propagation delay is 12μs typical at 10mV overdrive (100pF load).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +11V single supply or ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supply - supports direct bipolar signal monitoring and 3V/5V embedded systems. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤4μA over full commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±10mV max - sets minimum detectable voltage difference without calibration. |
| Propagation Delay | 12μs typical at 10mV overdrive (100pF load) - determines maximum usable signal edge rate in timing-critical detection. |
| Output Drive | 40mA continuous source / >5mA sink - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external buffers. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V− to (V+ − 1.3V) - allows sensing near supply rails, e.g., detecting battery depletion at <100mV above ground. |
| Output Voltage Swing | V+ to V− - requires explicit V− tie to GND for TTL-level output; incompatible with open-drain or pull-up-only interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
MAX922CSA+ uses an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad (RoHS-compliant, lead-free). Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard SO convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTB | Comparator B output: actively sources/sinks current; swings V+ to V−; requires V− = GND for TTL logic levels. |
| 2 | V+ | Positive supply input: accepts +2.5V to +11V (single) or connects to positive rail in dual-supply mode. |
| 3 | INB+ | Noninverting input of comparator B: high-impedance node (leakage ≤±5nA); referenced to V−. |
| 4 | INB− | Inverting input of comparator B: same impedance and voltage range as INB+; used for differential or single-ended thresholds. |
| 5 | INA− | Inverting input of comparator A: electrically identical to INB−; supports independent dual-threshold configuration. |
| 6 | INA+ | Noninverting input of comparator A: matches INB+ specs; enables two separate comparison channels on one die. |
| 7 | V− | Negative supply input: connect to GND for single supply; required for output swing definition and input common-mode compliance. |
| 8 | OUTA | Comparator A output: functionally identical to OUTB; shares same drive strength and rail-to-rail swing behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No crowbar current during switching | Eliminates supply-line transients that cause instability in poorly decoupled layouts or shared power domains. |
| 40mA continuous output source capability | Drives multiple standard LEDs or logic gates directly-no external transistor needed for indicator or control signaling. |
| Rail-to-rail input range (V− to V+ − 1.3V) | Enables accurate low-voltage detection (e.g., 100mV battery cutoff) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs | Meets VIH/VIL thresholds when V− = GND and V+ = +5V ±10%, interfacing seamlessly with microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Ultra-low 4μA max supply current | Reduces system standby power by >90% vs. standard comparators-critical for always-on sensor nodes. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Threshold Detector for Sensor Outputs |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during discharge to trigger low-battery warning before cutoff. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares sensed voltage against upper (4.2V) and lower (3.0V) thresholds using resistor dividers. Use Value: Enables precise undervoltage/overvoltage protection without external reference or hysteresis components-reducing BOM count by 3–5 parts. |
Use Scenario: Converting analog output from a temperature sensor (e.g., LM35) into digital alert signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator detects exceedance of safe operating temperature; second triggers fan activation at higher threshold. Use Value: Delivers sub-10mV detection resolution and 12μs response-fast enough to prevent thermal runaway in motor controllers. |
| Window Comparator for Power Supply Validation | Oscillator Enable Control in Low-Power Systems |
|
Use Scenario: Validating regulated 3.3V supply stays within ±5% tolerance before enabling downstream logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel comparison against high/low reference voltages derived from precision divider network. Use Value: Achieves <100ppm effective hysteresis via external resistors-rejecting noise spikes that would falsely trip discrete solutions. |
Use Scenario: Enabling crystal oscillator only when main supply reaches stable 3.0V, minimizing startup current surge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator A monitors VCC; its output enables oscillator enable pin via open-drain interface (with pull-up). Use Value: Cuts system quiescent current to 4μA during wait state-extending shelf life of sealed IoT devices beyond 10 years. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | Higher 100μA supply current; no rail-to-rail inputs; output only sinks current (open-collector). | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where speed and ultra-low power are secondary. | Choose LM393DR only if board layout accommodates external pull-ups and system can tolerate 25× higher quiescent draw. |
| TLV3702IDR | 350nA max supply current; rail-to-rail inputs/outputs; 360μs propagation delay; requires ≥1.8V supply. | Better for nanowatt-sensor interfaces but too slow for timing-critical edge detection. | Select TLV3702IDR when battery life >10 years is mandatory and response time >300μs is acceptable. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, the MAX922CSA+ uniquely balances ultra-low 4μA consumption, 12μs speed, and 40mA drive-making it optimal for compact, responsive, long-life detection nodes where both power and performance matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX922CSA+ in single-supply operation?
The MAX922CSA+ supports a single-supply voltage range of +2.5V to +11V. At +11V, it maintains full specification compliance including 4μA max quiescent current and 12μs propagation delay. Exceeding +11V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does MAX922CSA+ include an internal voltage reference?
No, the MAX922CSA+ does not include an internal voltage reference. Unlike MAX921/MAX923, it requires an external reference (e.g., MAX6012, TLV431) or resistor-divider network to establish comparison thresholds-confirmed by ordering table and functional diagrams in the datasheet.
Can MAX922CSA+ operate from a ±3V dual supply?
Yes, MAX922CSA+ operates from dual supplies ranging ±1.25V to ±5.5V. At ±3V, input common-mode range is −3V to +1.7V, output swings −3V to +3V, and quiescent current remains ≤4μA-enabling direct bipolar signal conditioning without level shifting.
What is the purpose of the V− pin on MAX922CSA+?
The V− pin on MAX922CSA+ defines the negative supply rail and serves as the reference for input common-mode range and output swing. In single-supply use, V− must be tied to GND to ensure TTL-compatible output levels and proper input voltage headroom.
Is MAX922CSA+ pin-compatible with other MAX92x variants in SO package?
No, MAX922CSA+ is not pin-compatible with MAX921CSA+ or MAX923CSA+ in the same 8-pin SO package. Pin 5 is INA− on MAX922CSA+, but HYST on MAX923CSA+ and IN− on MAX921CSA+-requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
