Product details
Overview
MAX9648AUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a single, low-voltage, open-drain comparator in a 5-pin SOT23 package, featuring internal 2mV hysteresis for noise immunity, 60µA supply current at +5V, and operation from +1.8V to +5.5V. It supports ground-sensing inputs and delivers 120mV output saturation voltage at 4mA sink, enabling reliable threshold detection in battery-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9648AUK+T datasheet, MAX9648AUK+T pinout, MAX9648AUK+T application, or MAX9648AUK+T equivalent, key selection considerations include hysteresis-enabled noise rejection, SC70/SOT23 footprint compatibility with LMX331H drop-in replacement requirements, automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and low-input-bias-current performance (<250nA) for high-impedance sensing circuits.
Technical Context
The MAX9648AUK+T implements a BiCMOS comparator core optimized for low-voltage, single-supply operation with rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 0.1V below VSS and up to 0.7V below VDD. Its internal hysteresis is fixed at 2mV and non-adjustable, eliminating external feedback components while ensuring stable switching against slow-moving or noisy signals.
It features open-drain output architecture requiring an external pull-up resistor, supports overdrive-dependent propagation delays (tPLH = 100ns, tPHL = 50ns at 100mV overdrive, VDD = 5V), and maintains PSRR of 60–90dB across 1.8V–5.5V supply range - critical for mixed-signal environments with noisy power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.8V to +5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.4mV (typ), 9mV (max, –40°C to +125°C) - ensures accurate threshold detection in precision sensing applications. |
| Hysteresis | 2mV (internal, fixed) - prevents chatter on slow or noisy inputs without external resistors or layout complexity. |
| Propagation Delay | tPHL = 50ns, tPLH = 100ns (100mV overdrive, VDD = 5V) - supports response to fast transients in real-time monitoring systems. |
| Supply Current | 60µA per channel at VDD = +5V - extends battery life in always-on portable devices such as wearables and IoT sensors. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.1V to VDD – 0.7V - allows ground-referenced input signals and simplifies sensor interfacing. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 120mV at ISINK = 4mA - ensures strong low-state drive into typical microcontroller GPIOs or logic inputs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX9648AUK+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and offering thermal resistance ΘJA = 255.9°C/W (JEDEC 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN+ | Noninverting Input | Accepts analog signal to be compared against IN–; supports common-mode down to –0.1V (below GND). |
| 2 VSS | Negative Supply | Must be connected to system ground (0V); serves as reference for input and output stages. |
| 3 IN– | Inverting Input | Accepts reference voltage or inverted signal path; no phase reversal when overdriven. |
| 4 OUT | Open-Drain Output | Requires external pull-up resistor; sinks up to 35mA; logic-low state defined by VOL ≤ 120mV @ 4mA. |
| 5 VDD | Positive Supply | Supplies operating power; accepts +1.8V to +5.5V; bypass capacitor (0.1µF) required between VDD and VSS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal 2mV hysteresis | Eliminates need for external positive feedback network, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Validated for automotive under-hood and industrial edge-node deployments without derating. |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents erroneous output states when inputs exceed common-mode limits - critical for fault-detection circuits. |
| Low input bias current (≤250nA) | Minimizes loading error on high-impedance sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| RF immunity | Robust operation in electrically noisy environments (e.g., motor drives, wireless modules) without added filtering. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMX331HMM/NOPB | No internal hysteresis; requires external feedback resistors for noise immunity; higher supply current (130µA typ). | Suitable where adjustable hysteresis is needed or where legacy LMX331H pinout must be retained without redesign. | Select only if hysteresis must be programmable or if existing layout uses LMX331H-specific routing. |
| TLV3701IDBVR | Higher input offset (3.5mV max), no guaranteed hysteresis, but includes push-pull output (no pull-up required). | Better suited for systems needing active-high output drive without external components, but less robust against noise. | Choose when output drive strength and simplicity outweigh noise immunity requirements in low-noise environments. |
Compared with LMX331HMM/NOPB and TLV3701IDBVR, the MAX9648AUK+T uniquely combines fixed 2mV hysteresis, ultra-low supply current, and guaranteed –40°C to +125°C performance in a drop-in SOT23 package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, noise-prone, battery-operated applications where reliability and layout simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX9648AUK+T?
The MAX9648AUK+T is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, validated across all electrical parameters per the datasheet's DC and AC characteristics tables. This range supports deployment in automotive cabin modules, industrial controllers, and outdoor portable equipment without thermal derating.
Does the MAX9648AUK+T require external hysteresis components?
No. The MAX9648AUK+T integrates a fixed 2mV hysteresis band, eliminating the need for external resistors or feedback networks. This simplifies design, reduces PCB area, and improves consistency across production units - unlike the MAX9647 or LMX331H, which lack internal hysteresis.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the MAX9648AUK+T output?
The MAX9648AUK+T output can sink up to 35mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 400mV (at TA = –40°C to +85°C, VDD = 5V). At room temperature and 4mA load, VOL is typically 120mV - sufficient to drive standard logic inputs or small LEDs directly with appropriate pull-up configuration.
Is the MAX9648AUK+T pin-compatible with the LMX331H?
Yes. The MAX9648AUK+T is explicitly described in its datasheet as a "drop-in, pin-for-pin compatible replacement" for the LMX331H in both SC70 and SOT23 packages. Pin functions, spacing, and mechanical dimensions match, enabling direct substitution without PCB modification.
What supply voltage range does the MAX9648AUK+T support?
The MAX9648AUK+T operates from +1.8V to +5.5V, covering single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V logic, and 5V legacy systems. Performance parameters including propagation delay, offset voltage, and supply current are fully characterized across this range per the datasheet's 1.8V, 2.7V, and 5.0V test conditions.
