Product details
Overview
MAX982CPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, ultra-low-power, open-drain comparator with integrated 1.182V ±2% voltage reference and programmable hysteresis via HYST pin. It operates from single 2.5V–11V or dual ±1.25V–±5.5V supplies, draws ≤4µA supply current over temperature, supports rail-to-rail input range (V− to V+ −1.3V), and is used in battery-powered threshold detectors and window comparators.
For engineers reviewing the MAX982CPA+ datasheet, MAX982CPA+ pinout, MAX982CPA+ application, or MAX982CPA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for low-power comparator selection in space- and energy-constrained systems.
Technical Context
The MAX982CPA+ integrates two independent micropower comparators sharing one internal bandgap reference (1.182V ±2% at 0°C to +70°C) and a dedicated HYST pin enabling simple resistor-based hysteresis programming without external feedback. Its open-drain outputs sink current to V−, not GND, distinguishing it from MAX971/MAX974 variants.
Input common-mode range extends from V− to (V+ −1.3V); propagation delay is 12µs (10mV overdrive, 100pF load, 1MΩ pullup); output leakage is ≤100nA at 11V. The device supports true single-supply operation with V− tied to GND and maintains functionality down to 2.5V total supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | Single 2.5V–11V or dual ±1.25V–±5.5V - enables direct interface with 3V/5V logic and bipolar sensor signals. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤4µA over temperature - sustains multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | 1.182V ±2% (0°C to +70°C) - provides stable threshold generation without external precision references. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | V− to (V+ −1.3V) - accepts inputs near ground or within 1.3V of positive rail, simplifying level-shifting design. |
| Propagation Delay | 12µs (10mV overdrive, 100pF load, 1MΩ pullup) - balances speed and power for low-frequency event detection. |
| Output Configuration | Open-drain, sinks to V− - allows wire-ORing and level translation between disparate supply domains. |
| Hysteresis Control | HYST pin with REF–0.05V to REF range - enables precise, resistor-programmable hysteresis without op-amp feedback networks. |
Pinout & Package
MAX982CPA+ uses an 8-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide) with through-hole mounting. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX982 (DIP/SO/µMAX top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Comparator A open-drain output - sinks current to V−; requires external pullup for logic-level output. |
| 2 | V− | Negative supply - connect to GND for single-supply operation; defines reference point for REF and input range. |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input of Comparator A - accepts signals from V− to (V+ −1.3V) with ±10mV offset. |
| 4 | INA− | Inverting input of Comparator A - paired with INA+ for differential threshold comparison. |
| 5 | HYST | Hysteresis control input - sets hysteresis band width by voltage divider from REF; range: REF −50mV to REF. |
| 6 | REF | 1.182V ±2% reference output - referenced to V−, capable of sourcing 25µA/sinking 15µA; no bypass required. |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply - supplies gate drive for output MOSFETs; determines output sink strength and propagation delay. |
| 8 | OUTB | Comparator B open-drain output - functionally identical to OUTA; shares same REF and HYST resources. |
Key Features

Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitor | Power-Good Window Detector |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 3-cell Li-ion pack (9–12.6V) to trigger low-voltage shutdown and overvoltage protection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares pack voltage against upper/lower thresholds derived from REF and resistor dividers. Use Value: Eliminates external reference IC and reduces quiescent current by >90% versus discrete op-amp solutions. |
Use Scenario: Validating regulated 5V supply in embedded controllers to assert "power-good" only when voltage stays within 4.75–5.25V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX982CPA+ implements window detection using INA+/INA− and INB+/INB− with shared REF and HYST. Use Value: Achieves <10µA total system current during monitoring, extending runtime in standby modes. |
| Low-Power Sensor Threshold Detector | Level Translator (±5V → 3.3V) |
Use Scenario: Converting analog output from MEMS accelerometer (±2V swing) into digital alert when motion exceeds preset g-threshold. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single comparator channel compares conditioned sensor signal to REF-derived threshold; HYST suppresses noise-induced chatter. Use Value: Delivers reliable edge detection at 3µA per channel - critical for wearable devices with microamp-hour budgets. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing legacy ±5V industrial sensor outputs to modern 3.3V microcontroller GPIOs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX982CPA+ acts as bidirectional level shifter: REF sets 1.182V threshold; open-drain outputs pulled to 3.3V. Use Value: Replaces discrete transistor translators while maintaining <5µA static current and eliminating level-shifter IC cost. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX983CPA+ | Identical pinout, same 1.182V ±2% reference and HYST architecture; differs only in internal routing for window-comparator topology (INA−/INB+ shared). | Optimized for window detection where both comparators monitor same input with high/low thresholds; MAX982CPA+ offers independent inputs. | Select MAX983CPA+ when building undervoltage/overvoltage detectors with shared input; choose MAX982CPA+ for fully independent dual-threshold sensing. |
| TLV3702IP | No internal reference; rail-to-rail I/O; 1.2µA supply current; 360µs propagation delay; push-pull output (not open-drain). | Requires external reference and pullup resistors; unsuitable for wire-OR or level-shifting; better for low-noise, low-offset precision apps. | Choose TLV3702IP only if push-pull output and sub-µA current are mandatory and reference integration is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX983CPA+, MAX982CPA+ provides fully independent comparator inputs for asymmetric threshold configurations; compared with TLV3702IP, it trades higher propagation delay for integrated reference, open-drain flexibility, and proven ultra-low-power operation in battery-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX982CPA+ in single-supply mode?
The MAX982CPA+ supports a single-supply voltage range of 2.5V to 11V. When operated in single-supply mode (V− tied to GND), the maximum allowable V+ is 11V. Exceeding this violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. The device remains functional down to 2.5V, though reference accuracy degrades below ~2.2V.
Does MAX982CPA+ have a GND pin, and how is its output referenced?
No, MAX982CPA+ does not have a GND pin. Its outputs (OUTA and OUTB) sink current to V−, not GND. In single-supply operation, V− is connected to system GND, making the output effectively GND-referenced. In dual-supply operation, V− is a negative rail (e.g., −5V), and outputs sink to that rail - enabling true bipolar-to-single-ended conversion.
Can the internal reference of MAX982CPA+ be used to bias external circuitry?
Yes, the REF pin of MAX982CPA+ provides a buffered 1.182V ±2% output referenced to V−, capable of sourcing up to 25µA and sinking up to 15µA. It is designed for direct connection to resistor dividers and HYST networks. Do not bypass REF with capacitors, as this may destabilize the reference or comparator operation.
How is hysteresis programmed on MAX982CPA+?
Hysteresis on MAX982CPA+ 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 (VREF − 50mV) to VREF. For example, setting VHYST = VREF − 25mV yields ~50mV hysteresis. No external op-amps or feedback loops are needed.
What is the input offset voltage specification for MAX982CPA+?
The input offset voltage for MAX982CPA+ is ±10mV, measured at VCM = 2.5V (5V supply) or VCM = 1.5V (3V supply), across the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). This value is guaranteed in production testing and directly impacts threshold accuracy in precision detection applications.
