General Description
The MAX971–MAX974 and MAX981–MAX984 single/
dual/quad low-voltage comparators feature the lowest
power consumption available. These micropower
devices draw less than 4µA supply current over
temperature (MAX971/MAX972/MAX981/MAX982), and
include an internal 1.182V ±1% (MAX971/MAX973/
MAX974) or ±2% (MAX981–MAX984) voltage reference
and programmable hysteresis.
Ideal for 3V or 5V single-supply applications, these
devices operate from a single 2.5V to 11V supply (or
±1.25V to ±5.5V dual supplies), and each comparator’s
input voltage ranges from the negative supply rail to within
1.3V of the positive supply.
The single MAX971/MAX981 and the dual MAX973/
MAX982/MAX983 provide a unique, simple method for
adding hysteresis without feedback or complicated
equations, simply by using the HYST pin plus two
resistors.
The MAX971–MAX974 and MAX981–MAX984’s open-
drain outputs permit wire-ORed configurations. Thanks to
an 11V output range and separate GND pin for the output
transistor (MAX971/MAX974, MAX981/MAX984), these
devices are ideal for level translators and bipolar to single-
ended converters. For similar devices with complementary
output stages, see the MAX921–MAX924 (1% reference)
and the MAX931–MAX934 (2% reference).
