Product details
Overview
MAX922ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual ultra-low-power voltage comparator with no internal reference or hysteresis, operating from +2.5V to +11V (or ±1.25V to ±5.5V), drawing ≤4μA supply current over –40°C to +85°C, featuring TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs that source/sink current and input common-mode range extending to V– and within 1.3V of V+, used in battery-powered threshold detection and window comparator circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX922ESA+T datasheet, MAX922ESA+T pinout, MAX922ESA+T application, or MAX922ESA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SO-8 package layout, dual-comparator functional context, and real-world design implications for low-quiescent-current sensing systems.
Technical Context
The MAX922ESA+T implements two independent micropower comparators with rail-to-rail input capability (V– to V+ – 1.3V) and output swing from V+ to V–, eliminating need for external level-shifting in dual-supply configurations. Its output stage continuously sources up to 40mA while avoiding crowbar current during transitions, minimizing parasitic supply feedback.
No internal voltage reference or programmable hysteresis is integrated-unlike MAX921/MAX923-so external reference and positive-feedback hysteresis networks must be added per comparator. Input leakage is ≤±5nA over –40°C to +85°C, supporting high-impedance sensing applications.
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 interfacing with 3V/5V logic and bipolar sensor signals. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤4μA over –40°C to +85°C - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring systems. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V– to (V+ – 1.3V) - allows detection of signals near ground or rail without clamping diodes or level shifters. |
| Output Drive Capability | Sources ≥40mA continuously, sinks ≥5mA - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 12μs at 10mV overdrive - provides deterministic timing for precision threshold crossing in low-speed control loops. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±10mV max - sets minimum detectable differential voltage without calibration in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Input Leakage Current | ±5nA max (–40°C to +85°C) - preserves accuracy in high-source-impedance applications like thermistor or photodiode interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
MAX922ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, pin-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 footprints and reflow-solderable per JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTB | Comparator B output; sinks and sources current; swings rail-to-rail between V+ and V–. |
| 2 | V+ | Positive supply terminal; accepts +2.5V to +11V (single) or connects to positive rail in dual supply. |
| 3 | INB+ | Noninverting input of comparator B; supports common-mode range down to V–. |
| 4 | INB– | Inverting input of comparator B; matched offset and leakage with INB+ for precision differential sensing. |
| 5 | INA– | Inverting input of comparator A; electrically isolated from INB–, enabling independent signal paths. |
| 6 | INA+ | Noninverting input of comparator A; identical input characteristics to INB+. |
| 7 | V– | Negative supply terminal; connects to ground in single-supply mode or negative rail in dual-supply mode. |
| 8 | OUTA | Comparator A output; functionally identical to OUTB, fully independent output stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input range | Operates with inputs from V– to V+ – 1.3V - eliminates need for external biasing in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
| No crowbar output switching | Prevents supply-line glitches during output transitions - improves stability in poorly decoupled or shared-power systems. |
| 40mA continuous output source | Drives LEDs, MOSFET gates, or logic loads directly - reduces bill-of-materials and PCB area vs. buffered solutions. |
| Ultra-low 4μA quiescent current | Enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints with periodic wake-up sensing. |
| ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual-supply support | Accepts true bipolar supplies - simplifies interface to ±5V op-amp stages or AC-coupled transducer signals. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Threshold Detector | Window Comparator System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring lithium-ion cell voltage during sleep mode to trigger wake-up at 3.0V undervoltage or 4.2V overvoltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator independently compares sensed voltage against two reference thresholds generated by resistor dividers. Use Value: Eliminates microcontroller ADC polling, reducing average system current to sub-μA levels while maintaining precise trip points. | Use Scenario: Validating regulated 5V supply integrity in industrial PLC I/O modules before enabling downstream logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator detects undervoltage (e.g., <4.75V), the other detects overvoltage (e.g., >5.25V); outputs ANDed to generate "Power Good" signal. Use Value: Provides fail-safe power sequencing without software dependency or timing drift from RC-based supervisors. |
| Oscillator Circuit with Hysteresis | Level-Shifting Interface |
Use Scenario: Building a relaxation oscillator for LED blink timing in portable medical devices using capacitor charge/discharge feedback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator (A or B) configured with external positive feedback resistors to set hysteresis band and oscillation frequency. Use Value: Achieves stable, temperature-invariant frequency with only two external resistors and one capacitor - no crystal or timing IC required. | Use Scenario: Converting ±5V analog sensor outputs (e.g., strain gauge bridge) into 0V/5V logic levels for MCU GPIO input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator A compares signal against 0V reference; comparator B provides inverted output or secondary threshold. Use Value: Enables direct connection of legacy bipolar sensors to modern 3.3V/5V digital systems without level-shifter ICs or discrete transistor stages. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM393DR | No rail-to-rail inputs; input common-mode range excludes V–; 1.5mA typical supply current - 375× higher than MAX922ESA+T. | Not suitable for single-supply sub-1V threshold detection or ultra-low-power battery systems. | Select when cost is primary constraint and supply current >10μA is acceptable. |
| TLV3702IDR | Includes rail-to-rail inputs and 850nA max supply current at 25°C, but only rated for –40°C to +125°C; no dual-supply specification beyond +2.7V to +16V. | Valid for low-power industrial use, but lacks guaranteed dual-supply operation and ±1.25V compatibility. | Select when extended temperature range is critical and bipolar supply operation is not required. |
Compared with LM393DR and TLV3702IDR, the MAX922ESA+T uniquely combines guaranteed dual-supply operation (±1.25V to ±5.5V), rail-to-rail inputs down to V–, and ≤4μA supply current across –40°C to +85°C - making it irreplaceable in precision, ultra-low-power, bipolar-sensing applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX922ESA+T in single-supply operation?
The MAX922ESA+T supports a single-supply voltage range of +2.5V to +11V. At +11V, it maintains full functionality including rail-to-rail input operation and 40mA output sourcing. Exceeding +11V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For battery-powered designs, operation at +3V or +5V is typical and fully characterized across temperature.
Does MAX922ESA+T include an internal voltage reference?
No, the MAX922ESA+T does not include an internal voltage reference. Unlike MAX921 or MAX923, it lacks a REF pin and bandgap reference circuitry. External references (e.g., precision shunt or series references) or resistor-divider networks must be used to establish threshold voltages for both comparators in the MAX922ESA+T.
Can MAX922ESA+T operate from dual ±5V supplies?
Yes, the MAX922ESA+T is explicitly specified for dual-supply operation from ±1.25V to ±5.5V. With ±5V applied (V+ = +5V, V– = –5V), its inputs accept signals from –5V to +3.7V, and outputs swing fully from +5V to –5V - enabling direct interfacing with bipolar op-amps, AC-coupled sensors, or legacy industrial signal chains without level translation.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage for MAX922ESA+T over temperature?
The MAX922ESA+T has a maximum input offset voltage of ±10mV over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This value is tested and guaranteed per datasheet Electrical Characteristics tables, ensuring predictable trip-point accuracy in production systems without trimming or calibration.
How does the output stage of MAX922ESA+T prevent supply-line glitches?
The MAX922ESA+T uses a unique output architecture that eliminates crowbar current - the simultaneous conduction of pull-up and pull-down devices during logic transitions. By avoiding this transient short-circuit condition, the MAX922ESA+T prevents voltage spikes on shared supply rails, reducing need for local bypassing and improving stability in dense, multi-IC layouts where supply impedance is non-ideal.
