Product details
Overview
MAX932ESA+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 range (V− to V+ −1.3V) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX932ESA+T datasheet, MAX932ESA+T pinout, MAX932ESA+T application, or MAX932ESA+T equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-comparator architecture with shared reference, HYST-pin hysteresis implementation without external feedback, guaranteed −40°C to +85°C temperature range, and µMAX-8 package compatibility with space-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
The MAX932ESA+T integrates two independent comparators sharing a single internal 1.182V reference and one HYST pin for simultaneous hysteresis programming across both channels. Its output stage eliminates crowbar current during transitions, suppressing supply-line parasitic feedback and enabling stable operation without stringent PCB layout constraints.
Input common-mode range extends from V− to V+ −1.3V, supporting single-supply operation down to +2.5V while maintaining valid comparison near the positive rail. The HYST pin accepts voltages from REF −50mV to REF, enabling precise hysteresis bands up to 100mV using only two external resistors - a feature absent in the quad MAX934 and single MAX931 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +11V single supply; enables direct use with 3V/5V logic rails and battery inputs without regulation |
| Quiescent Current | <4µA max over −40°C to +85°C; ensures multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reference Accuracy | 1.182V ±2% (0°C to +70°C); provides stable trip-point reference without external precision voltage source |

Pinout & Package
MAX932ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), pin-compatible with SO-8 and PDIP-8 footprints but offering 60% area reduction. Thermal resistance θJA = 244°C/W supports operation up to +85°C ambient without heatsinking.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Comparator A output; sinks/sources current, swings from V+ to V−; TTL/CMOS compatible when V− = GND |
| 2 | V− | Negative supply terminal; 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; high-impedance (±0.01nA leakage) |
| 4 | INB+ | Noninverting input of comparator B; identical electrical characteristics to INA+; enables dual-threshold or window configurations |
| 5 | INB− | Inverting input of comparator B; matched offset and leakage to INA−; supports differential or single-ended sensing |
| 6 | REF | 1.182V reference output referenced to V−; sources ≤15µA/sinks ≥8µA; must not be bypassed |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply input; supports up to +11V; supplies both comparators and reference circuitry |
| 8 | HYST | Hysteresis control input; sets hysteresis band by voltage divider between REF and V−; range: REF −50mV to REF |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX932CSA+ | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range only | Not suitable for automotive or outdoor industrial deployments requiring extended temperature operation | Select MAX932CSA+ only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics with controlled ambient environments |
| MAX922ESA+ | 1% reference accuracy (vs. 2%), same dual-comparator architecture, but no HYST pin - requires external hysteresis network | Lacks integrated hysteresis control; increases component count and layout complexity for noise-immune threshold detection | Choose MAX922ESA+ when reference precision outweighs design simplicity and board space constraints |
Compared with MAX932CSA+, MAX932ESA+ delivers guaranteed operation down to −40°C and supports wider input voltage margins; versus MAX922ESA+, it trades 1% reference accuracy for simplified hysteresis implementation and lower system-level BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX932ESA+T?
The MAX932ESA+T is specified for −40°C to +85°C operation, making it suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood applications where ambient temperatures exceed commercial-grade limits. This extended range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the official datasheet, distinguishing it from the 0°C to +70°C MAX932CSA+ variant.
Can MAX932ESA+T operate from a 3V single supply?
Yes, MAX932ESA+T operates from +2.5V to +11V single supply, including 3V systems. At 3V, supply current remains below 3.0µA (typical), input common-mode range extends from V− to V+ −1.3V (i.e., 0V to 1.7V), and propagation delay increases to 14µs - all verified in the Electrical Characteristics tables for 3V operation.
How is hysteresis implemented on MAX932ESA+T?
Hysteresis on MAX932ESA+T is implemented via the HYST pin: connect R1 between REF and HYST, and R2 between HYST and V−. The hysteresis band equals twice the voltage difference between REF and HYST, adjustable from 0mV to 100mV. This method applies identical hysteresis to both comparators without external feedback paths.
Does MAX932ESA+T require output pull-up resistors?
No, MAX932ESA+T does not require external pull-up resistors. Its push-pull output stage actively sources up to 40mA and sinks up to 50mA, enabling direct drive of TTL/CMOS loads, LEDs, or MOSFET gates. The output swings fully from V+ to V− (or V+ to GND when V− = GND), eliminating passive termination.
Is the internal reference of MAX932ESA+T referenced to GND or V−?
The internal 1.182V reference of MAX932ESA+T is referenced to V−, not GND. When V− is tied to ground in single-supply operation, REF = 1.182V relative to GND. However, in dual-supply configurations (e.g., ±5V), REF = 1.182V above V− (e.g., −5V), yielding REF = −3.818V relative to GND - a critical detail for accurate threshold setting.
