Product details
Overview
MAX932CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual micropower comparator with integrated 1.182V ±2% bandgap reference, programmable hysteresis via HYST pin, TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs sourcing up to 40mA, and operation from +2.5V to +11V single supply. It targets battery-powered threshold detection and window comparator circuits where ultra-low quiescent current (<4µA at +25°C) and rail-to-rail input capability (V− to V+ −1.3V) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX932CSA+T datasheet, MAX932CSA+T pinout, MAX932CSA+T application, or MAX932CSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific pin functions, real-world use cases in low-voltage sensing, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX932CSA+T integrates two independent comparators sharing one internal 1.182V reference and a dedicated HYST terminal for resistor-programmable hysteresis without external feedback. Its output stage eliminates crowbar current during transitions, minimizing supply-line parasitic coupling and enabling stable operation even with suboptimal PCB layout.
Input common-mode range extends from V− to V+ −1.3V; output swings from V+ to V− (not GND), requiring V− connection to ground for single-supply TTL compatibility. Propagation delay is 12µs typical at 10mV overdrive, with 20µVRMS voltage noise (100Hz–100kHz) and ±10mV input offset voltage over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +11V single supply; ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supply - supports both battery-powered and bipolar signal monitoring systems |
| Quiescent Current | <4µA max over extended temperature - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reference Voltage | 1.182V ±2% (0°C to +70°C) referenced to V− - provides stable trip point without external precision reference |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±10mV max - defines minimum detectable differential voltage between IN+ and IN− |
| Propagation Delay | 12µs typical at 10mV overdrive - determines maximum response speed in fast threshold-detection applications |
| Output Drive | Sources 40mA continuously, sinks 8mA - 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 in single-supply configurations |
Pinout & Package
MAX932CSA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with operating temperature range 0°C to +70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Comparator A output; sinks and sources current; swings from V+ to V− |
| 2 | V− | Negative supply rail; connect to GND for single-supply operation |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input of comparator A; accepts signals from V− to V+ −1.3V |
| 4 | INB− | Inverting input of comparator B; shares same input voltage range as INA+ |
| 5 | INB+ | Noninverting input of comparator B; used with HYST to set hysteresis thresholds |
| 6 | HYST | Hysteresis control input; voltage range REF −50mV to REF - sets hysteresis band width |
| 7 | REF | 1.182V reference output referenced to V−; sources ≤15µA, sinks ≥8µA |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports up to +11V or ±5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | <4µA max ensures >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Integrated 2% reference | Eliminates need for external reference IC or resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Resistor-programmable hysteresis | Uses HYST pin with two resistors - no op-amp feedback loop required, simplifying design and improving stability |
| TTL/CMOS-compatible output | Swings fully to V+ and V−, enabling direct interface with 5V logic without level-shifting circuitry |
| No crowbar current during switching | Prevents supply rail disturbance and eliminates need for heavy local bypassing |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role: Comparator A triggers MOSFET gate based on RC timer voltage; comparator B provides hysteresis to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Use Value: Delivers reliable auto-off with <4µA standby current and no microcontroller required. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual comparator with reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX932ESA+ | Same functionality and pinout; rated for −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range | Required for outdoor or automotive-adjacent environments where extended temp operation is mandatory | Select MAX932ESA+ when operating outside 0°C–+70°C commercial range |
| MAX922CSA+ | 1% reference accuracy (vs. 2%), otherwise identical architecture and pinout; higher cost | Used where tighter trip-point tolerance is needed, e.g., precision power-good signaling in telecom systems | Choose MAX922CSA+ only if ±1% reference drift is required; otherwise MAX932CSA+ offers optimal cost/power trade-off |
Compared with MAX932ESA+, MAX932CSA+ trades extended temperature support for lower cost and commercial-grade qualification; compared with MAX922CSA+, it sacrifices reference accuracy for reduced price and identical micropower performance - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated consumer and industrial sensors.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX932CSA+T?
The MAX932CSA+T is specified for 0°C to +70°C (commercial temperature range). This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table, where "MAX932CSA" maps to the "C" grade (0°C to +70°C) in 8-pin SO packaging. For extended temperature operation, consider MAX932ESA+ (−40°C to +85°C), which shares identical functionality and pinout.
Does MAX932CSA+T include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, MAX932CSA+T integrates a 1.182V ±2% bandgap voltage reference referenced to V−, usable across the full 0°C to +70°C range. The REF pin delivers this voltage with sourcing capability up to 15µA and sinking down to 8µA - sufficient to drive resistor dividers for comparator thresholds without external buffering.
How is hysteresis implemented on MAX932CSA+T?
Hysteresis on MAX932CSA+T is implemented via the HYST pin: connect R1 between REF and HYST, and R2 between HYST and V−. The hysteresis band (VHB) ≈ 2 × (VREF − VHYST), with VHYST adjustable from REF −50mV to REF. This method requires no external op-amp or feedback network and applies identically to both comparators.
What are the absolute maximum supply voltage ratings for MAX932CSA+T?
Per Absolute Maximum Ratings, MAX932CSA+T supports V+ to V− up to +12V, and V+ to GND up to +12V. For continuous operation, the recommended supply range is +2.5V to +11V (single supply) or ±1.25V to ±5.5V (dual supply). Exceeding +12V differential may cause permanent damage.
Is MAX932CSA+T pin-compatible with any other Maxim comparators?
MAX932CSA+T is not pin-compatible with MAX922CSA+ (despite similar function), as explicitly stated in the datasheet: "The MAX932 and MAX922 are not pin-compatible." However, it shares the same 8-pin SO footprint and pin assignments as MAX932ESA+ and MAX932CUA+, differing only in temperature grade or package variant.
