Product details
Overview
The MAX983ESA+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 input common-mode range from V− to (V+ − 1.3V). It is used in battery-powered threshold detectors and window comparators requiring rail-to-rail input operation and low quiescent power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX983ESA+T datasheet, MAX983ESA+T pinout, MAX983ESA+T application, or MAX983ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-comparator architecture with shared reference and hysteresis control, 12µs propagation delay at 10mV overdrive, open-drain output sinking capability to V−, and SO-8 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX983ESA+T integrates two independent micropower comparators sharing a single internal bandgap reference (1.182V ±2%) referenced to V−. Its HYST pin enables simple resistor-based hysteresis programming without external feedback, with adjustable hysteresis band up to 100mV via REF–HYST voltage difference.
It features open-drain outputs that sink current to V− (not GND), enabling bipolar-to-single-ended level translation and wire-OR configurations. Input stage supports common-mode voltages down to V− and up to V+ − 1.3V, with typical input offset voltage of ±10mV and input leakage <±5nA over temperature.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX983ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, pin-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 footprint. The device uses a dual-comparator topology with shared reference and hysteresis control, optimized for compact PCB layout in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUTA) | Comparator A open-drain output | Sinks current to V−; requires external pullup for logic-high output; supports wire-OR and level translation. |
| 2 (V+) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.5V–11V single supply or positive rail of dual supply; powers internal comparator and reference circuitry. |
| 3 (REF) | Internal reference output | Provides 1.182V ±2% referenced to V−; capable of sourcing 25µA/sinking 15µA; must not be bypassed. |
| 4 (HYST) | Hysteresis control input | Accepts voltage from REF − 50mV to REF; sets hysteresis band width; connect to REF if unused. |
| 5 (IN−) | Inverting input of Comparator B | Differential input node; supports common-mode range from V− to V+ − 1.3V; leakage <±5nA. |
| 6 (IN+) | Noninverting input of Comparator B | Differential input node; same electrical specs as IN−; used with IN− to form second comparator channel. |
| 7 (V−) | Negative supply input | Connect to GND for single-supply operation; serves as reference point for REF and output sink path. |
| 8 (OUTB) | Comparator B open-drain output | Functionally identical to OUTA; enables independent dual-threshold detection or window comparator implementation. |

Applications
| Threshold Detector | Window Comparator |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage to trigger low-battery warning before system shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual comparator compares battery voltage against upper and lower thresholds derived from internal REF and resistor dividers. Use Value: Eliminates external reference and reduces BOM count by 3–4 components versus discrete solutions; hysteresis prevents chatter near trip points. | Use Scenario: Validating regulated DC supply (e.g., 5V rail) stays within safe operating window (4.5V–5.5V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX983ESA+T implements undervoltage (OUTA) and overvoltage (OUTB) detection channels; outputs wire-OR'd to generate active-high POWER_GOOD signal. Use Value: Achieves <12µs response to supply excursions; internal REF ensures consistent thresholds across temperature without calibration. |
| Battery Switchover Circuit | Level Translator |
Use Scenario: Seamless transition from wall adapter to backup battery when main supply drops below 4V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One comparator controls P-channel MOSFET gate (OUTA); second monitors battery health (OUTB). Use Value: Replaces lossy diode-OR with <100mV dropout; 4µA quiescent current minimizes standby drain on backup battery. | Use Scenario: Converting ±5V analog sensor outputs to 3.3V logic-compatible signals in mixed-signal data acquisition systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses open-drain outputs sinking to V− and external pullups to translate bipolar inputs into unipolar logic levels. Use Value: Supports 11V output swing independent of V+; enables interface between legacy industrial sensors and modern low-voltage microcontrollers. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX982ESA+ | Identical pinout, same 2% reference accuracy and hysteresis architecture; differs only in internal routing - INA+/INA− swapped vs. INB+/INB− on pins 3/4. | Same window/threshold use cases; requires minor schematic adjustment for input assignment. | Select MAX982ESA+ when input channel labeling aligns with existing layout or when sourcing consistency across multiple designs is prioritized. |
| TLV3702IDR | Lower 1.2µA quiescent current but no internal reference; requires external 1.2V reference; rail-to-rail input; push-pull output (no open-drain). | Not suitable for wire-OR or level-shifting; better for ultra-low-power wake-up triggers where external reference already exists. | Choose TLV3702IDR only if system already includes a precision reference and open-drain functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX982ESA+, the MAX983ESA+ offers identical electrical performance and package but assigns comparator inputs differently - making it preferable when matching specific signal routing. Versus TLV3702IDR, MAX983ESA+ trades slightly higher current for integrated reference and open-drain flexibility, reducing total solution size and design complexity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX983ESA+T?
The MAX983ESA+T is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C (Extended temperature range). This rating is confirmed in the Ordering Information table, where "ESA" suffix denotes the SO-8 package with extended temp grade. All electrical characteristics - including supply current ≤4µA, reference accuracy ±3%, and propagation delay - are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the MAX983ESA+T require an external reference?
No, the MAX983ESA+T includes an internal 1.182V ±2% (0°C to +70°C) or ±3% (−40°C to +85°C) bandgap reference output on pin 3 (REF). This reference is referenced to V−, not GND, and is designed to drive external resistor networks for hysteresis or threshold setting without external components.
Can the MAX983ESA+T be used with a single 3V supply?
Yes, the MAX983ESA+T operates from a single 2.5V to 11V supply. At 3V, typical supply current is 3.4µA (C temp) or 5.8µA (E temp), input common-mode range extends from V− (GND) to 1.7V, and propagation delay remains within specification - making it ideal for 3V battery-powered systems.
How is hysteresis implemented on the MAX983ESA+T?
Hysteresis is implemented using the HYST pin (pin 4): connect R1 between REF and HYST, and R2 between HYST and V−. The hysteresis band equals ~2×(REF − VHYST), adjustable from 0 to 100mV. This method avoids external feedback and maintains ultra-low power - a key differentiator of the MAX983ESA+T versus generic comparators.
What is the output configuration of the MAX983ESA+T?
The MAX983ESA+T features two open-drain outputs (OUTA on pin 1, OUTB on pin 8), each sinking current to V− (not GND). This allows level translation across voltage domains and wired-OR logic. An external pullup resistor is required; maximum output voltage is 11V above V−, supporting operation even when V+ is unpowered.
