Product details
Overview
The MAX995ESD+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad micropower comparator with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, push-pull output stage, and 120ns propagation delay. It operates from +2.5V to +5.5V single supply (or ±1.25V to ±2.75V dual supply), consumes only 48μA per comparator, and delivers rail-to-rail output swing into 8mA loads - ideal for battery-powered zero-crossing detectors and portable threshold sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX995ESD+ datasheet, MAX995ESD+ pinout, MAX995ESD+ application, or MAX995ESD+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 120ns propagation delay at 100mV overdrive, ±0.5mV typical input offset voltage, internal ±2.5mV hysteresis, and SO-14 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX995ESD+ integrates four independent comparators in a single SO-14 package, each featuring rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 250mV beyond both supply rails and push-pull output capable of sourcing/sinking 8mA. Its unique output stage minimizes supply-current surges during switching, eliminating typical supply glitches without requiring external decoupling beyond a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor at VCC.
Input bias current is typically 1.0pA, enabling high-impedance sensor interfacing; internal hysteresis ensures clean transitions even with slow-moving signals. The device supports stable operation across full -40°C to +85°C ambient, with PSRR of 55dB (min) and CMRR of 50dB (min) under varying supply conditions.

Applications
| Zero-Crossing Detection | Threshold Monitoring |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Detecting AC waveform polarity transitions in energy metering or motor control feedback loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad comparator configured as synchronized zero-crossing detector with hysteresis to reject noise-induced false triggers. Use Value: Enables precise phase alignment using four independent channels - e.g., three-phase voltage sensing plus neutral reference - with <120ns timing resolution. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery voltage, temperature sensor output, or supply rail integrity in handheld medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four independent window/level comparators generating status flags for low-battery, over-temperature, brown-out, and fault conditions. Use Value: Single SO-14 IC replaces four discrete comparators, reducing PCB area by >60% and eliminating inter-channel skew. |
| Logic-Level Translation | IR Signal Demodulation |
|
Use Scenario: Converting 5V microcontroller GPIO outputs to 3.3V-compatible signals for FPGA or ADC interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Push-pull output stage directly drives 3.3V logic inputs without external pull-up resistors or level-shifter ICs. Use Value: Eliminates external components while maintaining <120ns edge fidelity - critical for SPI clock synchronization and fast data capture. |
Use Scenario: Amplifying and squaring weak, noisy IR receiver diode outputs in remote-control receivers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-gain, low-noise comparator with rail-to-rail input accepting small AC-coupled signals centered near mid-supply. Use Value: Internal hysteresis rejects EMI-induced jitter; 48μA/quiescent current extends standby time in always-on IR wake-up circuits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM339DR | Open-collector outputs; 1.3mA supply current per comparator; 300ns propagation delay; no rail-to-rail inputs | Requires external pull-ups; unsuitable for low-voltage (<3V) or high-speed (>100kHz) designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/power requirements and open-drain interface is needed |
| TLV3704IPW | Rail-to-rail I/O; 850nA supply current; 3.5μs propagation delay; specified down to 2.7V only | Too slow for zero-crossing or fast pulse discrimination; better for ultra-low-power sensor wake-up | Select only for sub-1kHz threshold detection where nanowatt operation is mandatory and latency is irrelevant |
Compared with LM339DR and TLV3704IPW, the MAX995ESD+ uniquely balances micropower operation (48μA), high speed (120ns), rail-to-rail functionality, and quad integration in an industry-standard SO-14 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered systems demanding precision timing and wide supply flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX995ESD+ can drive while maintaining 120ns propagation delay?
The MAX995ESD+ maintains ≤120ns propagation delay (at 100mV overdrive, VCC = 5V) for capacitive loads up to 50pF, as confirmed in the Typical Operating Characteristics graph (Figure TOC8). At 200pF, delay increases to ~40ns. For heavier loads, external buffer stages are recommended to preserve timing integrity in critical detection paths.
Does the MAX995ESD+ require external hysteresis for reliable operation with noisy input signals?
No - the MAX995ESD+ includes built-in ±2.5mV hysteresis, sufficient to suppress chatter from typical PCB noise and sensor ripple. External hysteresis is optional and only needed when wider bands (e.g., >10mV) are required for specific threshold stability; design equations are provided in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
Can the MAX995ESD+ operate from a single 3.3V supply and still achieve rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes - the MAX995ESD+ is fully specified from +2.5V to +5.5V single supply. At VCC = 3.3V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 3.15V, VOL ≤ 0.15V at 3.5mA load) and maintains 120ns propagation delay, making it ideal for modern 3.3V embedded systems without level translation overhead.
Is the SO-14 package of the MAX995ESD+ pin-compatible with other quad comparators like the LM339?
No - the MAX995ESD+ uses a proprietary pinout optimized for quad independent operation (e.g., OUTA/INA+/INA−/VEE/VCC/INA+/INA−/OUTA/...), differing fundamentally from the LM339's shared VEE/VCC and grouped output arrangement. PCB redesign is required for substitution; refer to the Pin Configurations diagram on page 11 of the datasheet.
What is the absolute maximum voltage allowed on the MAX995ESD+ inputs relative to VEE?
The MAX995ESD+ inputs tolerate voltages from VEE −0.3V to VCC +0.3V under steady-state conditions. This allows safe interfacing with signals exceeding the supply rails by up to 300mV - critical for handling transient overshoot in motor control or sensor front-ends without damage or phase reversal.
