Ultra Low-Power,
Single/Dual-Supply Comparators
_______________General Description
The MAX921–MAX924 single, dual, and quad micro-
power, low-voltage comparators feature the lowest
power consumption available. These comparators draw
less than 4µA supply current over temperature
(MAX921/MAX922), and include an internal 1.182V
±1% voltage reference, programmable hysteresis, and
TTL/CMOS outputs that sink and source current.
Ideal for 3V or 5V single-supply applications, the
MAX921–MAX924 operate from a single +2.5V to +11V
supply (or a ±1.25V to ±5V dual supply), and each
comparator’s input voltage range swings from the
negative supply rail to within 1.3V of the positive
supply.
The MAX921–MAX924’s unique output stage con-
tinuously sources as much as 40mA. And by eliminating
power-supply glitches that commonly occur when com-
parators change logic states, the MAX921–MAX924
minimize parasitic feedback, which makes them easier to
use.
The single MAX921 and dual MAX923 provide a unique
and simple method for adding hysteresis without
feedback and complicated equations, simply by using
the HYST pin and two resistors.
