Product details
Overview
MAX924ESE+T 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), drawing only 8.5μA max supply current over –40°C to +85°C, and delivering TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs that source up to 40mA - ideal for battery-powered threshold detection in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX924ESE+T datasheet, MAX924ESE+T pinout, MAX924ESE+T application, or MAX924ESE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin narrow SO package, guaranteed 4-comparator functionality with independent inputs/outputs, internal reference accuracy, ultra-low quiescent current across temperature, and absence of internal hysteresis requiring external feedback configuration.
Technical Context
The MAX924ESE+T implements four independent comparators with rail-to-rail input common-mode range (V− to V+ − 1.3V), output stages capable of continuous 40mA sourcing and >5mA sinking, and an internal 1.182V reference referenced to V− (not GND). It lacks programmable hysteresis pins - unlike MAX921/MAX923 - requiring external positive-feedback networks for hysteresis implementation.
Its architecture supports single-supply operation (V− = GND) with outputs swinging from V+ to GND, enabling direct TTL compatibility at +5V, while dual-supply operation (e.g., ±5V) maintains full input range and output swing integrity without crowbar current during transitions.

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitoring | Multi-Threshold Level Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring Li-ion cell voltage during charge/discharge cycles in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad comparator compares cell voltage against four preset thresholds (e.g., 4.2V, 3.8V, 3.5V, 3.0V) using REF and resistor dividers. Use Value: Enables precise state-of-charge estimation and automatic shutdown at 3.0V, leveraging 8.5μA quiescent current to extend standby time. | Use Scenario: Driving a 4-LED bar-graph display indicating signal amplitude in handheld test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each comparator triggers one LED at successive voltage steps (250mV, 500mV, 750mV, 1V) referenced to REF. Use Value: 40mA per output drives LEDs directly; no external drivers needed - reduces component count and layout complexity. |
| Window Comparator System | Auto-Power-Off Control |
Use Scenario: Validating power supply integrity (e.g., 4.5V–5.5V window) in industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two comparators form upper/lower bounds; remaining two implement hysteresis and generate "POWER GOOD" logic. Use Value: Internal REF ensures consistent trip points; independent inputs prevent interaction between thresholds - improves reliability vs. dual-comparator ICs. | Use Scenario: Enabling timed shutdown of auxiliary circuits after user inactivity in IoT edge nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator monitors RC decay voltage; output disables power switch after threshold crossing. Use Value: 8.5μA supply current minimizes self-drain; 12μs propagation delay ensures fast response to timeout events. |
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 1.1mA supply current; open-collector outputs require pull-ups | Lacks integrated REF - needs external voltage source for thresholding; unsuitable for ultra-low-power battery systems | Select when cost is primary constraint and reference is already available on board |
| TLV3704IPW | Lower 1.6μA supply current but no internal reference; rail-to-rail I/O; 360μs propagation delay | Slower response limits use in oscillator or fast window-detection circuits; requires external REF for precision thresholds | Select when sub-μA quiescent current is critical and speed <1kHz is acceptable |
Compared with LM339DR and TLV3704IPW, MAX924ESE+T uniquely combines integrated 1.182V reference, 8.5μA quiescent current, and 40mA output drive - making it optimal for compact, self-contained, battery-operated threshold detection where board space and power budget are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX924ESE+T in single-supply operation?
The MAX924ESE+T supports a maximum single-supply voltage of +11V, with V− connected to GND. Operation above this risks permanent damage, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. At +11V, the device maintains full functionality including 1.182V reference accuracy and 40mA output sourcing capability - verified across –40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX924ESE+T include internal hysteresis like MAX921 or MAX923?
No, MAX924ESE+T does not include internal hysteresis or a HYST pin. Unlike MAX921/MAX923, it requires external positive-feedback resistor networks on each comparator to implement hysteresis - as detailed in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This design allows fully customizable hysteresis bands per channel but adds two resistors per comparator.
Can MAX924ESE+T operate from a 3V single supply?
Yes, MAX924ESE+T is fully specified for operation from +2.5V to +11V single supply. At +3V, it delivers 8.5μA max supply current, 12μs propagation delay (10mV overdrive), and maintains full input common-mode range (0V to 1.7V) and REF output accuracy (1.182V ±1.2%). Performance remains stable across –40°C to +85°C.
What is the output voltage swing of MAX924ESE+T when V+ = 5V and V− = GND?
With V+ = 5V and V− = GND, MAX924ESE+T outputs swing from GND to V+ − 0.4V (i.e., 0V to 4.6V) under 1.8mA load, meeting TTL logic-high requirements. The output stage sources up to 40mA continuously and sinks >5mA - enabling direct interfacing with 5V CMOS inputs and LED loads without level shifters or buffers.
How is the internal reference (REF) of MAX924ESE+T connected and used?
The REF pin of MAX924ESE+T outputs a 1.182V voltage referenced to V− (not GND), and must be used with V− as the local ground reference for associated resistor dividers. It can source up to 25μA and sink 15μA at +25°C. Bypassing REF is prohibited - capacitive coupling to REF degrades noise performance and may cause instability.
