Product details
Overview
MAX9646EBS+TG45 from Maxim Integrated is a nanoPower single comparator with integrated 0.2V precision reference, noninverting input configuration, and push-pull output stage. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply, consumes ≤700nA supply current, features 15µs propagation delay, and is housed in a 1mm × 1mm × 0.6mm 4-bump UCSP package. It enables ultra-low-power voltage monitoring in space-constrained battery-powered systems such as portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9646EBS+TG45 datasheet, MAX9646EBS+TG45 pinout, MAX9646EBS+TG45 application, or MAX9646EBS+TG45 equivalent, key selection criteria include its push-pull output eliminating external pullup resistors, guaranteed ±1% reference accuracy over temperature, -0.3V to +5.5V rail-to-rail input range independent of VCC, and operation down to 1V supply for compatibility with sub-1.2V microcontroller I/O rails.
Technical Context
The MAX9646EBS+TG45 implements a BiCMOS input stage enabling input voltages up to +5.5V even when VCC = 0V, supporting flexible power sequencing and high-impedance monitoring during system sleep modes. Its internal 0.2V reference is trimmed to ±1% accuracy at +25°C and exhibits 6µV/°C tempco, ensuring stable trip points across -40°C to +85°C.
The push-pull output delivers VOH ≥ VCC – 0.08V at 15µA source current and VOL ≤ 0.2V at 50µA sink current (VCC = 1.0V), directly interfacing with 1.0V–5.5V logic without level-shifting. Propagation delay remains tightly controlled at 15µs (typ) with ±100mV overdrive and shows minimal variation across temperature and supply voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to modern low-voltage microcontrollers and single-cell Li-ion/Li-Po battery rails. |
| Supply Current (max) | 700nA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensing applications such as wearable health monitors. |
| Input Voltage Range | -0.3V to +5.5V - allows monitoring of signals beyond VCC (e.g., battery voltage, sensor outputs) without external attenuation or clamping. |
| Reference Voltage | 200mV ±1% (at +25°C), ±3.5% (over -40°C to +85°C) - provides precise, factory-trimmed threshold for accurate low-voltage detection. |

Pinout & Package
MAX9646EBS+TG45 is packaged in a 4-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.6mm with bumps on the bottom side. The package uses solder bump interconnects and requires standard reflow profile (peak 235°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | OUT | Push-pull output - actively drives high or low; compatible with 1.0V–5.5V logic without external components. |
| A2 | IN | Noninverting input - accepts analog signals from -0.3V to +5.5V regardless of VCC; high-impedance (>100GΩ) even when powered down. |
| B1 | VCC | Positive supply input - bypass to GND with 0.1µF capacitor near the bump for stable operation during output transitions. |
| B2 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for supply, reference, and output; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1mm × 1mm UCSP footprint | Occupies same board area as two 0402 resistors - enables integration into wearables and hearing aids where every 0.1mm² matters. |
| Internal 0.2V reference | Factory-trimmed to ±1% at +25°C with 6µV/°C tempco - removes need for external precision reference IC or resistor divider network. |
| Rail-to-rail input beyond VCC | Accepts inputs up to +5.5V with VCC = 0V - supports hot-swap detection and battery voltage monitoring without level shifters. |
| Power-down input impedance | Maintains >100GΩ input resistance when VCC = 0V - prevents signal loading during deep-sleep modes in IoT edge nodes. |
| RF-immune input stage | On-chip filtering suppresses RF interference from cellular/Wi-Fi bands - eliminates need for external RC filters in noisy RF environments. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Wearable Vital Sign Monitors |

Use Value: 400nA typical supply current minimizes parasitic drain on micro-energy storage capacitors; high-impedance input avoids loading weak harvesters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9644EBS+TG45 | Same UCSP package, identical 0.2V reference and 700nA max ICC, but open-drain output requiring external pullup. | Suitable where output must interface with higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5V MCU I/O) or wired-OR bus configurations. | Select MAX9644EBS+TG45 only if level translation or bus sharing is required; otherwise MAX9646EBS+TG45 reduces component count. |
| TLV3691DSF | 0.4V reference, 350nA typical ICC, SOT-23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm), no internal reference trimming. | Lower supply current but larger footprint and less accurate reference; requires external resistor divider for 0.2V threshold. | Choose TLV3691DSF only if absolute minimum current dominates design priority and board space permits larger package. |
Compared with MAX9644EBS+TG45 and TLV3691DSF, MAX9646EBS+TG45 uniquely combines push-pull drive, factory-trimmed 0.2V reference, and 1mm² footprint-enabling lowest component count and highest accuracy in space- and power-constrained applications.

FAQ
What is the function of the G45 suffix in MAX9646EBS+TG45?
The G45 suffix in MAX9646EBS+TG45 indicates a protective die coating applied during packaging. This coating enhances moisture resistance and improves reliability in humid or harsh environmental conditions without affecting electrical performance or pinout. The "+T" denotes tape-and-reel packaging, and "EBS" specifies the 4-bump UCSP package variant. MAX9646EBS+TG45 retains all specified electrical characteristics including 700nA max supply current and 15µs propagation delay.
Does MAX9646EBS+TG45 require an external pullup resistor?
No, MAX9646EBS+TG45 does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push-pull output stage capable of both sourcing and sinking current. This distinguishes it from the open-drain MAX9644EBS+TG45 and MAX9645EBS+TG45 variants. The push-pull architecture allows MAX9646EBS+TG45 to directly drive CMOS inputs across its full 1.0V–5.5V supply range, simplifying schematic design and reducing bill-of-materials count.
What is the input voltage range specification for MAX9646EBS+TG45, and why is it important?
MAX9646EBS+TG45 supports an input voltage range of -0.3V to +5.5V, independent of supply voltage (VCC). This means the IN pin can accept signals exceeding VCC - for example, monitoring a 4.2V Li-ion battery while operating from a 1.8V rail. This rail-to-rail-plus capability eliminates external voltage dividers or level shifters, preserves signal integrity, and enables robust hot-swap and battery-monitoring functions in compact portable systems using MAX9646EBS+TG45.
How accurate is the internal 0.2V reference in MAX9646EBS+TG45 over temperature?
The internal reference in MAX9646EBS+TG45 is trimmed to ±1% accuracy at +25°C and maintains ±3.5% accuracy across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. Its temperature coefficient is specified at 6µV/°C, resulting in <±0.5mV drift over the entire range. This level of stability enables reliable low-voltage detection in applications like coin-cell-powered medical sensors where MAX9646EBS+TG45's reference eliminates calibration overhead and external components.
Can MAX9646EBS+TG45 operate with a 1.0V supply, and what are the output voltage limits at that rail?
Yes, MAX9646EBS+TG45 is fully specified to operate with a 1.0V supply. At VCC = 1.0V and ISINK = 50µA, the output voltage low (VOL) is guaranteed ≤0.2V. At ISOURCE = 15µA, the output voltage high (VOH) is guaranteed ≥VCC – 0.08V (i.e., ≥0.92V). This ensures clean logic-level signaling even at minimum supply, making MAX9646EBS+TG45 suitable for next-generation ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers and energy-harvesting systems.
