Product details
Overview
The MAX931CUA+TG002 from Maxim Integrated is a single micropower comparator with integrated 1.182V ±2% bandgap reference, programmable hysteresis via HYST pin, TTL/CMOS-compatible output sinking and sourcing up to 50mA/40mA, and 4µA max supply current over temperature - designed for ultra-low-power threshold detection in battery-powered systems operating from +2.5V to +11V single supply.
For engineers reviewing the MAX931CUA+TG002 datasheet, MAX931CUA+TG002 pinout, MAX931CUA+TG002 application, or MAX931CUA+TG002 equivalent, key selection considerations include its rail-to-rail input range (V− to V+ −1.3V), absence of crowbar current during switching, continuous 40mA source capability, and compatibility with 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature operation in 8-pin µMAX package.
Technical Context
The MAX931CUA+TG002 integrates a precision 1.182V reference referenced to V− (not GND), enabling self-contained threshold generation without external components. Its comparator features an input common-mode range extending from V− to V+ −1.3V and operates with <4µA quiescent current across temperature.
Unlike conventional comparators, its output stage eliminates switching crowbar current, minimizing parasitic supply feedback and improving stability in noisy or poorly decoupled layouts. Hysteresis is implemented externally using two resistors between REF and HYST pins, supporting adjustable hysteresis bands up to 100mV without feedback networks or complex calculations.
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); enables direct use in 3V/5V battery and industrial rails. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | <4µA over temperature; supports multi-year operation on coin cells or energy-harvesting sources. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.182V ±2% at 0°C to +70°C; stable internal bandgap reference eliminates need for external voltage reference ICs. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V− to V+ −1.3V; allows detection of signals near ground or high-side sensing without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive Capability | Sources 40mA continuously, sinks 50mA; directly drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | 12µs typical at 10mV overdrive; balances speed and ultra-low power for non-critical timing applications. |
| Reference Load Capacity | Sinks 8µA / sources 15µA; sufficient to bias hysteresis resistors or feed low-leakage comparator inputs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), thermally enhanced, lead-free, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Comparator output | Sinks and sources current; swings from V+ to GND - TTL/CMOS compatible with +5V supply. |
| 2 - V− | Negative supply | Connect to GND for single-supply operation; output swing referenced to this pin. |
| 3 - IN+ | Noninverting input | Accepts signals from V− to V+ −1.3V; high-impedance (±0.01nA leakage) for minimal loading. |
| 4 - IN− | Inverting input | Same input range and leakage as IN+; used for threshold comparison against reference or sensor signal. |
| 5 - HYST | Hysteresis control | Adjusts hysteresis band (up to 100mV) via resistor divider from REF; no external feedback required. |
| 6 - REF | Reference output | 1.182V ±2% w.r.t. V−; powers HYST network and provides stable threshold baseline. |
| 7 - V+ | Positive supply | Accepts +2.5V to +11V; supplies both comparator core and reference circuitry. |
| 8 - GND | Ground | Connect to V− for single-supply mode; serves as return path for output load current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No crowbar current during switching | Eliminates supply-line glitches and parasitic feedback, enabling stable operation without strict PCB layout constraints. |
| Programmable hysteresis via HYST pin | Enables noise-immune threshold detection using only two external resistors - no op-amp feedback loop needed. |
| Internal 1.182V ±2% reference | Reduces BOM count and board space by replacing discrete reference ICs in low-precision threshold applications. |
| Rail-to-rail input range (V− to V+ −1.3V) | Supports direct sensing of battery voltage, sensor outputs, or rail monitors without input attenuation or level shifters. |
| 40mA continuous output source current | Drives LEDs, MOSFET gates, or logic inputs directly - avoids external driver stages in portable instrumentation. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Threshold Detector | Window Comparator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring lithium coin-cell voltage to trigger auto-shutdown before deep discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator compares battery voltage against 1.182V reference via resistor divider; HYST pin adds 50mV hysteresis to prevent chatter near cutoff.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator (e.g., MAX933) uses shared REF and HYST to implement independent upper/lower thresholds. Use Value: Eliminates need for two separate references and reduces component count versus discrete solutions. |
| Oscillator Circuit | Alarm Circuit |
Use Scenario: Building low-power relaxation oscillator for LED blink timing or watchdog timeout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator configured with RC network and HYST pin to generate hysteresis-based square wave. Use Value: Achieves sub-µA average current consumption while maintaining stable frequency over temperature. | Use Scenario: Smoke detector analog front-end comparing ionization chamber output to alarm threshold.

Use Value: Enables Class A UL-certified designs with <4µA standby current and robust noise immunity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator-with-reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX921CUA+ | 1% reference accuracy (vs. 2%), same pinout and package; higher precision but 20% higher quiescent current (5µA). | Required where reference drift must be minimized across -40°C to +85°C; not suitable for cost-sensitive 0°C to +70°C designs. | Select MAX921CUA+ only when ±1% reference tolerance is mandatory and supply current budget allows +1µA overhead. |
| TLV3011DBVR | Single comparator with 1.25V reference, 1.8V–5.5V supply, 1.2µA IQ; no HYST pin - hysteresis requires external feedback. | Lower power and wider supply range, but lacks integrated hysteresis control and has lower output drive (10mA sink/source). | Prefer TLV3011DBVR for sub-2µA systems where external hysteresis is acceptable and output load is light. |
Compared with MAX921CUA+, the MAX931CUA+TG002 trades reference accuracy for lower supply current and simpler hysteresis implementation; compared with TLV3011DBVR, it offers higher output drive and built-in HYST functionality at the cost of slightly higher IQ and narrower supply range.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX931CUA+TG002?
The MAX931CUA+TG002 is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. It is packaged in an 8-pin µMAX package and does not support extended or automotive temperature ranges - for -40°C to +85°C operation, consider the MAX931ESA variant instead. The reference voltage accuracy of ±2% applies within this 0°C to +70°C range.
Does the MAX931CUA+TG002 require external hysteresis components?
Yes - the MAX931CUA+TG002 uses the HYST pin to implement programmable hysteresis with two external resistors (R1 between REF and HYST, R2 between HYST and V−). This method avoids feedback loops and provides precise, predictable hysteresis bands up to 100mV. No hysteresis is applied if HYST is tied directly to REF.
Can the MAX931CUA+TG002 operate from a 3V supply?
Yes - the MAX931CUA+TG002 operates from +2.5V to +11V single supply, including 3V. At 3V, supply current remains below 4µA, input common-mode range extends from GND to 1.7V, and propagation delay increases to ~14µs (vs. 12µs at 5V). Reference output remains stable at 1.182V ±2%.
Is the MAX931CUA+TG002 pin-compatible with any 1% reference comparators?
Yes - the MAX931CUA+TG002 is pin-compatible with the MAX921CUA+, which features a 1% accurate reference and identical 8-pin µMAX footprint and pinout. However, MAX921CUA+ draws ~5µA supply current and is rated for -40°C to +85°C, so substitution requires validation of temperature and power requirements.
What is the maximum load the MAX931CUA+TG002 output can drive?
The MAX931CUA+TG002 output can continuously source up to 40mA and sink up to 50mA. At V+ = 5V, it maintains VOH ≥ V+ − 0.4V (≥4.6V) with 15mA load and VOL ≤ 0.4V with 15mA sink. Short-duration pulses up to 100mA are possible if power dissipation limits (330mW in µMAX) are observed.
