Product details
Overview
MAX987EUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, micropower, rail-to-rail input/output comparator with push-pull output stage, operating from +2.5V to +5.5V supply, delivering 120ns propagation delay, 48μA quiescent current per comparator, and ±0.5mV typical input offset voltage. It is used in battery-powered zero-crossing detectors and precision threshold sensing where low power and fast response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX987EUK+T datasheet, MAX987EUK+T pinout, MAX987EUK+T application, or MAX987EUK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-5 package footprint, push-pull 8mA drive capability, rail-to-rail common-mode range extending 250mV beyond rails, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX987EUK+T implements a high-speed, low-noise input stage with 1.0pA typical input bias current and internal ±2.5mV hysteresis to prevent chatter on slow-moving signals. Its input common-mode range spans VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V, enabling direct interface with sensors or attenuated signals exceeding supply rails.
The push-pull output stage delivers rail-to-rail swing into loads up to 8mA, with VOL ≤ 0.4V at 8mA sink (VCC = 5V) and VOH ≥ 4.6V at 8mA source (VCC = 5V). Supply-current surges during switching are minimized, reducing need for large decoupling capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - supports both 3V and 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 120ns at 100mV overdrive (VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF) - enables use in sub-MHz timing-critical detection circuits. |
| Quiescent Current | 48μA per comparator at VCC = 2.7V - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and wearables. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.5mV typical (±5mV max) - ensures accurate threshold detection down to millivolt-level signal differentials. |
| Common-Mode Range | VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V - allows direct connection to transducers or AC-coupled sources without clamping diodes. |
| Output Drive | Sinks and sources 8mA with rail-to-rail swing - eliminates external buffer stages in driving LEDs, logic inputs, or small relays. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX987EUK+T is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (package code X5-1), measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm, optimized for ultra-compact PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Comparator output | Push-pull CMOS-compatible output capable of sourcing/sinking 8mA; no external pull-up required. |
| 2 - VCC | Positive supply voltage | Accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; requires local 0.1μF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to this pin. |
| 3 - IN+ | Noninverting input | Differential input with 1.0pA bias current; supports common-mode voltages up to VCC + 0.25V. |
| 4 - IN− | Inverting input | Matches IN+ in bias, offset, and common-mode range; enables precise differential or single-ended sensing. |
| 5 - VEE | Negative supply voltage | Typically grounded (0V) in single-supply operation; defines lower rail for input/output swing and bias reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O with extended common-mode range | Inputs operate 250mV beyond VCC/VEE rails; outputs swing within 200mV of rails under 8mA load - simplifies sensor interfacing without external level shifters. |
| Low-switching-current output architecture | Minimal supply-current surge during transitions - reduces supply noise and eliminates need for oversized bypass capacitors in noise-sensitive analog sections. |
| Internal hysteresis | ±2.5mV built-in - prevents oscillation on noisy or slowly varying inputs without requiring external feedback resistors. |
| No phase reversal on overdriven inputs | Outputs remain valid even when inputs exceed rails by up to 0.3V - improves robustness in transient-prone systems like motor control feedback paths. |
| Ultra-low quiescent power | 48μA at 2.7V - enables always-on wake-up comparators in battery-backed real-time clocks and IoT endpoint sensors. |
Applications
| Zero-Crossing Detection | Threshold Discrimination |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Detecting polarity reversals in AC line voltage or audio signals for synchronous sampling or protection logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Comparator configured with IN− tied to ground and IN+ receiving AC-coupled signal; output toggles precisely at 0V crossing. Use Value: 120ns propagation delay and ±0.5mV offset ensure timing jitter < 50ns and trip-point accuracy within ±1mV at room temperature. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage against low-charge cutoff threshold in portable medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended comparator comparing battery voltage (via resistor divider) to stable reference; triggers shutdown when below 3.0V.

| Level Translation (3V ↔ 5V) | Ground/Supply Sensing |
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing 5V microcontroller GPIO to 3V logic peripherals in mixed-voltage embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX987EUK+T used as active-high comparator with VCC = 5V and reference set to 1.5V; output drives 3V domain directly. Use Value: Push-pull output eliminates external pull-up, while 120ns delay ensures clean handshaking at >1MHz data rates without metastability. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring system supply rail integrity (e.g., 3.3V LDO output) for brown-out detection in industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IN+ biased to 1.65V via resistor divider; IN− connected to monitored rail; output asserts fault flag when rail drops below 3.1V. Use Value: ±0.5mV offset and 250mV beyond-rail common-mode range allow direct rail monitoring without precision op-amp buffers or Zener references. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV3701IDBVR | Single 1.8V–5.5V comparator with 350ns delay, 800nA IQ, open-drain output - slower but ultra-low power. | Not suitable for >500kHz switching; requires external pull-up; lacks rail-to-rail input beyond rails. | Select when nanoamp quiescent current outweighs speed and rail extension requirements. |
| LMV7215M5X | Single 2.7V–5.5V comparator with 160ns delay, 100μA IQ, push-pull output - slightly higher power, same package. | Wider offset (±3mV typ), no guaranteed beyond-rail input - less accurate for mV-level thresholds. | Choose when cost sensitivity dominates and ±3mV offset is acceptable in non-precision detection. |
Compared with TLV3701IDBVR and LMV7215M5X, the MAX987EUK+T uniquely combines 120ns speed, 48μA quiescent current, rail-to-rail I/O with 250mV beyond-rail tolerance, and ±0.5mV offset - making it optimal for compact, battery-powered systems demanding both precision and responsiveness.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX987EUK+T can drive while maintaining 120ns propagation delay?
The MAX987EUK+T maintains ≤120ns propagation delay (at 100mV overdrive) with capacitive loads up to 15pF when VCC = 5V. At 50pF, delay increases to 20ns; at 200pF, it reaches 40ns. For designs requiring tight timing margins, keep load capacitance ≤15pF and use short, direct traces to preserve speed.
Does the MAX987EUK+T support dual-supply operation, and what are the limits?
Yes, the MAX987EUK+T supports dual-supply operation from ±1.25V to ±2.75V (i.e., total supply ≤ 5.5V). In dual-supply mode, VEE is connected to the negative rail (e.g., –2.5V), VCC to the positive rail (e.g., +2.5V), and inputs may swing from –2.75V to +2.75V. The device retains rail-to-rail input/output functionality across this range.
Can the MAX987EUK+T be used with input voltages exceeding the VCC rail, and how is it protected?
Yes - the MAX987EUK+T accepts input voltages up to VCC + 0.25V (and down to VEE – 0.25V) without phase reversal. Internal body diodes clamp inputs beyond rails, but sustained overvoltage (>0.3V beyond rails) causes exponential increase in input bias current. For reliable operation, limit overvoltage to <0.3V and add series current-limiting resistors if needed.
What is the output short-circuit current rating for the MAX987EUK+T, and is continuous shorting allowed?
The MAX987EUK+T output can source or sink up to 95mA (VCC = 5V) or 35mA (VCC = 2.7V) in short-circuit conditions. However, absolute maximum ratings specify a 10-second limit for continuous short-circuit duration to VEE or VCC. Prolonged shorts cause thermal stress; implement current limiting or fault detection in production designs.
How does the internal hysteresis of the MAX987EUK+T affect threshold accuracy in precision sensing applications?
The MAX987EUK+T features ±2.5mV internal hysteresis centered on its input offset voltage (±0.5mV typ). This creates a 5mV total hysteresis band, preventing chatter on noisy or slowly varying inputs. For precision applications requiring <1mV effective hysteresis, external hysteresis reduction is not supported - select a comparator without built-in hysteresis instead.
