Product details
Overview
MAX924CSE-T from Maxim Integrated is a quad micropower comparator with integrated 1.182V ±1% bandgap reference, operating from +2.5V to +11V single supply (or ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supply), delivering 4.0µA typical supply current at +25°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-T datasheet, MAX924CSE-T pinout, MAX924CSE-T application, or MAX924CSE-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin narrow SO package, internal reference accuracy, quad-channel independent operation, low-voltage compatibility down to 2.5V, and absence of internal hysteresis requiring external feedback configuration.
Technical Context
The MAX924CSE-T integrates four independent comparators sharing a common precision 1.182V reference output (pin 8), with each comparator featuring rail-to-rail input range (V− to V+ − 1.3V) and output swing from V+ to GND. Its output stage eliminates crowbar current during transitions, minimizing supply-induced parasitic feedback.
Unlike the MAX921/MAX923, the MAX924CSE-T lacks a dedicated HYST pin; hysteresis must be implemented externally via positive feedback resistors per comparator. It supports single-supply operation with V− tied to GND (pin 9), and maintains functional operation down to 1V total supply voltage - though reference and timing specs degrade below 2.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +11V single supply; ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supply - enables direct interfacing with 3V/5V logic and bipolar sensor signals. |
| Quiescent Current | 8.5µA max (C temp range, +25°C) - ensures multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.182V ±1% (0°C to +70°C) referenced to V− - provides stable, factory-trimmed threshold for precision level detection. |
| Propagation Delay | 12µs typical (10mV overdrive, 100pF load) - supports kHz-range window detection and oscillator frequencies. |
| Output Drive | Sources ≥40mA continuously into V+; sinks ≥5mA into GND - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without buffer stages. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V− to (V+ − 1.3V) - allows sensing near ground or high-side signals without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and industrial HMI applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX924CSE-T is housed in a 16-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm width, with standard 0.050" pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 14 is GND; pin 9 is V− (tied to GND for single-supply use); pins 1–2, 15–16 are comparator outputs; pins 4–5, 6–7, 10–11, 12–13 are input pairs; pin 8 is REF; pin 3 is V+.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 15, 16 | OUTB, OUTA, OUTD, OUTC | Four independent open-collector-like outputs sinking to GND and sourcing to V+ - enable wired-OR logic or direct LED driving. |
| 3 | V+ | Positive supply input - must be decoupled locally; supports up to +11V for wide-input-range sensing. |
| 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13 | INA−/+, INB−/+, INC−/+, IND−/+ | Differential input pairs for four comparators - inputs tolerate ±0.3V beyond rails, simplifying ESD protection design. |
| 8 | REF | 1.182V reference output - supplies precise threshold for all four comparators; not internally bypassed. |
| 9 | V− | Negative supply terminal - connect to GND for single-supply operation; defines reference and output swing baseline. |
| 14 | GND | Ground return - separate from V− in layout; tie to system GND plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad comparator + reference in one IC | Reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete solutions; eliminates matching drift between channels. |
| No crowbar current during switching | Prevents supply rail disturbance and eliminates need for heavy local decoupling on V+ and GND. |
| 40mA continuous output source capability | Drives 4× LEDs (e.g., bar-graph display) or logic gates directly - avoids external driver transistors. |
| Input range includes negative rail | Enables ground-referenced signal monitoring (e.g., battery voltage drop below 0.5V) without level shifters. |
| Low 8.5µA max supply current | Supports >10-year operation on CR2032 coin cell in wake-on-threshold applications. |
Applications
| Threshold Detector | Window Comparator |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | No internal reference; higher 2mA supply current; open-collector outputs only; wider 2V–36V supply range. | Requires external reference and pull-up resistors; unsuitable for ultra-low-power battery designs. | Select when cost is primary and supply current >10µA is acceptable; verify external reference accuracy and layout noise immunity. |
| TLV3704IPW | Rail-to-rail inputs/outputs; 1.2µA supply current; no internal reference; 360µs propagation delay; 14-pin TSSOP. | Better low-power performance but slower response; requires external reference and hysteresis network. | Choose for sub-µA standby current where speed <10kHz is sufficient; confirm REF sourcing capability matches TLV3704's input bias. |
Compared with LM339DR and TLV3704IPW, the MAX924CSE-T uniquely combines integrated precision reference, 40mA sourcing output, and 8.5µA max quiescent current - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical quad threshold detection where external components must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX924CSE-T in single-supply operation?
The MAX924CSE-T supports a maximum single-supply voltage of +11V (V+ to GND), with V− tied to GND (pin 9). Absolute maximum rating is +12V, but operation above +11V violates specification limits and risks parametric degradation. For dual-supply use, total voltage (V+ to V−) must not exceed ±5.5V.
Does MAX924CSE-T have internal hysteresis like MAX921 or MAX923?
No, MAX924CSE-T does not include internal hysteresis or a HYST pin. Hysteresis must be implemented externally using positive feedback resistors per comparator, as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This differs from MAX921/MAX923, which provide programmable hysteresis via the HYST pin and two resistors.
Can MAX924CSE-T operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX924CSE-T is fully specified for operation from +2.5V to +11V single supply. At +3.3V, it delivers 6.5µA typical supply current (C temp range), 1.182V reference remains accurate, and propagation delay increases slightly to ~14µs - all within guaranteed specifications for commercial-temperature applications.
What is the function of pin 9 (V−) on MAX924CSE-T?
Pin 9 (V−) is the negative supply terminal. In single-supply operation, it must be connected to system GND (pin 14). In dual-supply mode, it connects to the negative rail (e.g., −5V). The internal reference (pin 8) and output swing are referenced to V−, not GND - correct V− connection is essential for proper REF accuracy and output logic levels.
Is the reference output (pin 8) of MAX924CSE-T buffered?
No, the REF output (pin 8) is unbuffered and has limited drive capability: ±8µA sink/source at +25°C (C temp range). Loading beyond this degrades reference accuracy and stability. Do not bypass REF; avoid capacitive coupling from outputs or noisy traces, as crosstalk can increase effective noise to ~1mV peak-to-peak.
