Product details
Overview
MAX982ESA-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, ultra-low-power, open-drain comparator with internal 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, and supports rail-to-rail input voltage range (V− to V+ −1.3V). It is used in battery-powered threshold detectors requiring stable low-power analog sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX982ESA-T datasheet, MAX982ESA-T pinout, MAX982ESA-T application, or MAX982ESA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-comparator topology with shared reference and hysteresis control, 12µs propagation delay at 10mV overdrive, open-drain output compatibility with wire-OR logic, and SO-8 package suitability for space-constrained industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX982ESA-T integrates two independent comparators sharing a single internal bandgap reference (1.182V ±2%) referenced to V−, not GND. Its HYST pin enables simple resistor-programmed hysteresis without external feedback - voltage between REF and HYST sets the hysteresis band (max 100mV), applicable identically to both comparators.
Each comparator features rail-to-rail input operation (V− to V+ −1.3V), open-drain output sinking to V− (no separate GND pin), and operates across extended temperature (−40°C to +85°C). Supply current remains ≤4µA over full temperature range under typical 5V operation with IN+ = IN− +100mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
MAX982ESA-T is housed in an 8-pin SO (SOIC-N) package with standard .150" width. Pin 1 is OUTA, pin 2 is V+, pin 3 is INB+, pin 4 is INB−, pin 5 is HYST, pin 6 is REF, pin 7 is V−, and pin 8 is OUTB. All pins are electrically validated per Maxim's official pin description table for MAX982.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUTA (Pin 1) | Comparator A open-drain output | Sinks current to V−; requires external pull-up for logic-level output - enables wired-OR configuration with other open-drain devices. |
| V+ (Pin 2) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5V–11V single supply or positive rail of dual supply - powers internal comparator core and reference. |
| INB+ (Pin 3) | Noninverting input of Comparator B | High-impedance node (leakage ±0.01nA) - accepts analog thresholds or sensor signals without loading source. |
| INB− (Pin 4) | Inverting input of Comparator B | Matches INB+ in offset (±10mV) and CMRR (0.2–1 mV/V) - forms precision differential sensing pair with INB+. |
| HYST (Pin 5) | Hysteresis control input | Accepts voltage from REF −0.05V to REF - sets symmetric hysteresis band (max 100mV) for noise-immune switching. |
| REF (Pin 6) | Internal reference output | 1.182V ±2% w.r.t. V− - provides stable bias for thresholds; sources/sinks up to 25µA/15µA. |
| V− (Pin 7) | Negative supply | Connect to GND for single-supply use; defines reference and output sink node - eliminates need for dedicated ground pin. |
| OUTB (Pin 8) | Comparator B open-drain output | Functionally identical to OUTA - allows independent control of two decision paths (e.g., window detector upper/lower bounds). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | ≤4µA over −40°C to +85°C - extends battery life in IoT sensors and wearable health monitors. |
| Integrated ±2% voltage reference | 1.182V referenced to V− - eliminates external reference IC and associated PCB area/cost in supply-monitoring circuits. |
| Programmable hysteresis via HYST pin | 100mV max hysteresis band set by two resistors - simplifies noise-immune threshold design vs. external positive-feedback networks. |
| Rail-to-rail input range | V− to V+ −1.3V - enables direct sensing of battery voltage, regulator output, or sensor outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Open-drain outputs sinking to V− | No separate GND pin required - reduces pin count and simplifies layout in dual-supply applications where V− ≠ GND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX983ESA-T | Same pinout, same 1.182V ±2% reference, but configured as window comparator (INA+/INB− shared, INA−/INB+ shared) - no independent INB+/INB− inputs. | Optimized for single-input window detection (e.g., supply rail monitoring), not dual independent thresholds. | Select MAX983ESA-T only when both comparators monitor the same input signal with different thresholds; MAX982ESA-T is required for independent signal channels. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower supply current (1.8µA typ), rail-to-rail I/O, but no integrated reference - requires external voltage divider or reference for threshold setting. | Better for ultra-low-power designs where reference is already available; unsuitable for reference-free compact designs. | Choose TLV3702IDR when system-level reference exists and <2µA supply current is mandatory; MAX982ESA-T preferred when minimizing external components is critical. |
Compared with MAX983ESA-T and TLV3702IDR, the MAX982ESA-T uniquely delivers dual independent comparators with integrated ±2% reference and HYST-controlled hysteresis in SO-8 - enabling compact, self-contained threshold detection without external passive or active components.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX982ESA-T?
The MAX982ESA-T supports a total supply voltage up to 11V - either as a single 2.5V–11V supply or dual ±1.25V–±5.5V supplies. Absolute maximum rating is +12V across V+ to V−, but functional operation is specified only up to 11V. Exceeding this may cause permanent damage or parametric shift.
Does MAX982ESA-T have a built-in voltage reference, and what is its accuracy?
Yes, the MAX982ESA-T includes an internal 1.182V bandgap reference referenced to V−. Its accuracy is ±2% over 0°C to +70°C and ±3% over −40°C to +85°C. The reference can source up to 25µA and sink up to 15µA, sufficient to drive typical resistor-divider networks for threshold setting.
How is hysteresis implemented on MAX982ESA-T?
Hysteresis on the MAX982ESA-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, with a maximum of 100mV. This method applies identical hysteresis to both comparators without external feedback components.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for MAX982ESA-T?
The input common-mode voltage range for MAX982ESA-T is from V− to V+ −1.3V. This allows inputs to operate within 1.3V of the positive rail - critical for monitoring supply voltages or sensor outputs near V+ without external level-shifting circuitry.
Can MAX982ESA-T be used in dual-supply configurations?
Yes, the MAX982ESA-T supports dual-supply operation from ±1.25V to ±5.5V. In this mode, V+ connects to the positive rail, V− to the negative rail, and REF remains referenced to V−. Outputs sink to V−, making it suitable for bipolar-to-single-ended conversion without level-shifting transistors.
