Product details
Overview
The MAX932CUA+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 (or ±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supply). It targets battery-powered threshold detection and window-comparator circuits requiring ultra-low quiescent current (≤4µA over temperature) and rail-to-rail input range down to V−.
For engineers reviewing the MAX932CUA+T datasheet, MAX932CUA+T pinout, MAX932CUA+T application, or MAX932CUA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed dual-comparator use cases in low-voltage sensing, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The MAX932CUA+T integrates two independent comparators sharing one internal 1.182V reference and a dedicated HYST pin for hysteresis programming without external feedback. Its output stage eliminates crowbar current during transitions, minimizing parasitic supply feedback and enabling stable operation even with suboptimal PCB layout.
Input common-mode range extends from V− to (V+ − 1.3V), supporting operation near the positive rail. The device draws ≤4µA supply current at +25°C (3V or 5V supply), maintains 12µs propagation delay at 10mV overdrive, and features ±10mV input offset voltage across 0°C to +70°C.
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 interface with 3V/5V logic and bipolar sensor signals |
| Quiescent Current | ≤4µA over temperature - sustains multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring systems |
| Reference Voltage | 1.182V ±2% (0°C to +70°C) - provides stable trip point without external precision reference |
| Propagation Delay | 12µs at 10mV overdrive - supports kHz-range oscillator and timing applications |
| Output Drive | Sources ≥40mA continuously; sinks ≥8mA - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without buffer stages |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±10mV max - ensures reliable detection of small differential signals above noise floor |
| Hysteresis Control | HYST pin accepts REF–0.05V to REF - enables precise, resistor-programmed hysteresis bands up to 100mV |
Pinout & Package
MAX932CUA+T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Pinout is identical to MAX932ESA/MAX932CSA/MAX932CPA per Maxim's ordering table.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Comparator A output; sinks and sources current; swings from V+ to V− - supports dual-supply level shifting |
| 2 | V− | Negative supply rail; connect to GND for single-supply operation - defines reference for REF and input common-mode range |
| 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 and leakage spec (±0.01nA at +25°C) |
| 5 | INB+ | Noninverting input of comparator B - electrically identical to INA+; enables independent dual-threshold sensing |
| 6 | REF | 1.182V reference output referenced to V− - supplies precision voltage for threshold setting; max load ±15µA source / ±8µA sink |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail - powers both comparators and reference; absolute max 12V |
| 8 | OUTB | Comparator B output; sinks and sources current; swings from V+ to V− - fully independent of OUTA, enabling parallel decision logic |
Key Features

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 electrical specs; SO-8 package (4.9mm × 6.0mm) instead of µMAX (3mm × 3mm); rated for –40°C to +85°C | Preferred for extended temperature industrial deployments where thermal margin >15°C is required | Select MAX932ESA+ when board space allows larger SO-8 and operating temperature exceeds +70°C |
| MAX922CUA+ | 1% reference accuracy (1.182V ±1%), otherwise identical pinout, supply, and output specs; higher cost | Suitable where tighter threshold tolerance (<±5mV) is mandatory, e.g., precision battery gauging or calibration circuits | Choose MAX922CUA+ only if ±1% reference accuracy is validated as necessary - adds cost without benefit in most threshold-detection use cases |
Compared with MAX932CUA+T, MAX932ESA+ offers wider temperature range in larger SO-8 packaging, while MAX922CUA+ trades ±2% reference tolerance for ±1% accuracy at higher unit cost - neither is pin-compatible with MAX932CUA+T in footprint, but all three share identical pin functions and electrical behavior within their respective temp/range specs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX932CUA+T in single-supply operation?
The MAX932CUA+T supports a single-supply voltage range of +2.5V to +11V. When operated with V− connected to GND, the absolute maximum rating for V+ to GND is +12V, but functional operation is specified only up to +11V. Exceeding +11V may cause parametric degradation or reliability risk, per Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does MAX932CUA+T support dual-supply operation, and what are the limits?
Yes, MAX932CUA+T supports dual-supply operation from ±1.25V to ±5.5V. In this mode, V+ and V− are biased symmetrically around GND, and the output swings from V+ to V−. The device maintains full functionality including reference output (referenced to V−) and input common-mode range extending to V−.
How is hysteresis programmed on MAX932CUA+T, and what is the maximum achievable band?
Hysteresis on MAX932CUA+T is programmed using 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 yields a maximum VHB of 100mV, confirmed in Applications Information section and Typical Operating Characteristics.
What is the output voltage swing capability of MAX932CUA+T?
MAX932CUA+T outputs swing from V+ to V− under all valid supply conditions. In single-supply mode (V− = GND), OUTA and OUTB swing from V+ to GND. In dual-supply mode, they swing rail-to-rail between V+ and V−. Output high voltage is typically V+ − 0.4V at 1.8mA load; output low is V− + 0.4V - verified in Electrical Characteristics tables for 5V and 3V operation.
Can MAX932CUA+T drive LEDs directly, and what current can it source?
Yes, MAX932CUA+T can drive LEDs directly: its output stage continuously sources ≥40mA (per output) and sinks ≥8mA. At V+ = 5V, it can deliver 40mA into a load referenced to V− (e.g., LED anode to V+, cathode to OUTA), enabling simple indicator circuits without external drivers - confirmed in Features list and Typical Operating Characteristics (OUTPUT VOLTAGE HIGH vs. LOAD CURRENT).
