_______________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.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings‘” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
