Product details
Overview
The MAX924CSE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad micropower comparator with integrated 1.182V ±1% bandgap reference, operating from +2.5V to +11V (or ±1.25V to ±5.5V), delivering ultra-low 8.5μA max supply current at +70°C, 12μs propagation delay (10mV overdrive), and TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs that source up to 40mA - ideal for battery-powered threshold detection in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX924CSE+ datasheet, MAX924CSE+ pinout, MAX924CSE+ application, or MAX924CSE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (16-pin narrow SO), confirmed pin functions per Maxim's official pinout, real-world hysteresis implementation guidance, and two validated alternative comparators with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX924CSE+ integrates four independent comparators and a precision 1.182V reference referenced to V−, not GND. Its input common-mode range extends from V− to (V+ − 1.3V), enabling rail-to-rail sensing in single-supply systems. Each comparator features TTL/CMOS-compatible output stages that both sink and source current without crowbar glitches.
Unlike the MAX921/MAX923, the MAX924 lacks an internal HYST pin; hysteresis must be implemented externally via positive feedback. It supports dual-supply operation (±1.25V to ±5.5V) with output swing from V+ to GND - distinct from MAX922/MAX923 whose outputs swing from V+ to V−.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Higher 2mA quiescent current; no internal reference; open-collector outputs require pull-up resistors | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-battery applications where reference and hysteresis are implemented externally | Select LM339DR only when board space and power budget allow external reference and bias networks |
| TLV3704IPW | Lower 800nA quiescent current; rail-to-rail input; no internal reference; push-pull outputs | Better for sub-μA systems but requires external 1.182V reference and hysteresis circuitry | Choose TLV3704IPW when ultra-low power dominates over component count and layout simplicity |
Compared with LM339DR and TLV3704IPW, the MAX924CSE+ uniquely integrates reference and robust output drive in a single 16-pin SO package - reducing total solution size by ≥30% and eliminating six external passives required by alternatives.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX924CSE+ in single-supply operation?
The MAX924CSE+ supports a maximum single-supply voltage of +11V. This rating applies whether V− is tied to GND or left floating. Operation above +11V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For dual-supply use, the total voltage (V+ − V−) must not exceed +11V, with individual rails limited to ±5.5V.
Does MAX924CSE+ include hysteresis control like MAX921 or MAX923?
No, the MAX924CSE+ does not feature a dedicated HYST pin. Hysteresis must be implemented externally using positive feedback resistors, as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This differs from MAX921/MAX923, which provide internal hysteresis via the HYST pin and two resistors - a simpler method not available on MAX924CSE+.
Can MAX924CSE+ operate from a 3V single supply?
Yes, MAX924CSE+ is fully specified for operation from +2.5V to +11V single supply. At +3V, it delivers 6.2μA typical supply current (C temp range), maintains 1.182V reference accuracy, and retains full functionality including 40mA output drive - making it suitable for modern 3V microcontroller-based systems.
What is the purpose of the separate GND pin (Pin 14) on MAX924CSE+?
Pin 14 (GND) is the dedicated ground reference for the output stage, electrically isolated from the analog V− pin (Pin 9). This separation prevents switching noise from the comparators' 40mA outputs from coupling into the reference and input circuitry - critical for maintaining offset stability and noise immunity in mixed-signal layouts.
Is the internal reference of MAX924CSE+ referenced to GND or V−?
The internal 1.182V reference of MAX924CSE+ is referenced to V− (Pin 9), not GND (Pin 14). When using single-supply operation (V− = GND), the reference appears as 1.182V above GND. In dual-supply configurations (e.g., V+ = +5V, V− = −5V), REF = V− + 1.182V = −3.818V - a critical detail for proper threshold design.
