General Description
The MAX9039–MAX9043 and MAX9050–MAX9053 feature combinations of low-power comparators and precision voltage references. Their operating voltage range
makes them ideal for both 3V and 5V systems. The
MAX9039/MAX9040/MAX9041/MAX9050/MAX9051
have a single comparator and reference consuming
only 40µA of supply current. The MAX9042/MAX9043/
MAX9052/MAX9053 have dual comparators and one
reference, and consume only 55µA of supply current.
Low-voltage operation and low supply current make
these devices ideal for battery-operated systems.
The comparators feature rail-to-rail inputs and outputs,
with a common-mode input voltage range that extends
250mV beyond the supply rails. Input bias current is
typically 1.0pA, and input offset voltage is typically
0.5mV. Internal hysteresis ensures clean output switching, even with slow-moving input signals. The output
stage features a unique design that limits supply current surges while switching, virtually eliminating supply
glitches typical of many other comparators. This design
also minimizes overall power consumption under
dynamic conditions. The comparator outputs have railto-rail, push-pull output stages that sink and source up
to 8mA. The propagation delay is 400ns, even with the
low-operating supply current.
The reference output voltage is set to 1.23V in the
MAX9039, to 2.048V in the MAX9040–MAX9043, and to
2.500V in the MAX9050–MAX9053. The MAX9040–
MAX9043 and the MAX9050–MAX9053 are offered in
two grades: an A grade with 0.4% initial accuracy and
6ppm/°C tempco, and a B grade with 1% initial accuracy and 100ppm/°C tempco. The voltage references
feature a proprietary curvature-correction circuit and
laser-trimmed thin-film resistors. These series-mode references can sink or source up to 500µA of load current.

Detailed Description
The MAX9039–MAX9043 and MAX9050–MAX9053 feature single/dual, low-power, low-voltage comparators
and a precision voltage reference. They operate from a
single 2.5V to 5.5V (MAX9039/MAX904_) or 2.7V to
5.5V (MAX905_) supply. The single comparators with
reference, (MAX9039/MAX9040/MAX9041/MAX9050/
MAX9051 consume only 40µA of supply current, while
the dual comparators with reference (MAX9042/
MAX9043/MAX9052/MAX9053) consume only 55µA of
supply current. Their common-mode input range
extends 0.25V beyond each rail. Internal hysteresis
ensures clean output switching, even with slow-moving
input signals.
The output stage employs a unique design that minimizes supply current surges while switching, virtually
eliminating the supply glitches typical of many other
comparators. Large internal output drivers allow rail-torail output swing that can sink and source up to 8mA of
current.
The precision reference uses a proprietary curvaturecorrection circuit and laser-trimmed thin-film resistors,
resulting in a temperature coefficient of less than 30ppm/°C
over the extended temperature range and initial accuracy
of 0.4% (A grade). The reference output voltage is set to
1.23V in the MAX9039, 2.048V in the MAX9040–MAX9043,
and to 2.500V in the MAX9050–MAX9053.
Comparator Input Stage Circuitry
The devices’ input common-mode range extends from
(VEE- 0.25V) to (VCC+ 0.25V). These comparators may
operate at any differential input voltage within these limits. Input bias current is typically 1.0pA if the input volt-
age is between the supply rails. Comparator inputs are
protected from overvoltage by internal body diodes
connected to the supply rails. As the input voltage
exceeds the supply rails, these body diodes become
forward biased and begin to conduct. Consequently,
bias currents increase exponentially as the input voltage exceeds the supply rails.
Comparator Output Stage Circuitry
The comparators in these devices contain a unique
output stage capable of rail-to-rail operation with loads
up to 8mA. Many comparators consume orders-of-magnitude more current during switching than during
steady-state operation. However, with this family of comparators, the supply current change during an output
transition is extremely small. The Typical Operating
Characteristics graph Supply Current vs. Switching
Frequency shows the minimal supply current increase
as the output switching frequency approaches 1MHz.
This characteristic reduces the need for power-supply
filter capacitors to reduce glitches created by comparator switching currents. Another advantage realized in
high-speed, battery-powered applications is a substantial increase in battery life.
Applications Information
Additional Hysteresis
These comparators have ±3mV internal hysteresis.
Additional hysteresis can be generated with two resistors using positive feedback (Figure 1). Use the following procedure to calculate resistor values:
1) Calculate the trip points of the comparator using
these formulas:
and
VTHis the threshold voltage at which the comparator
switches its output from high to low as VINrises
above the trip point. VTLis the threshold voltage at
which the comparator switches its output from low to
high as VINdrops below the trip point.
2) The hysteresis band will be:

6) Solve for R1:
where R1 ≈ 100kΩ, VTH= 2.525V, and VTL= 2.475V.
Board Layout and Bypassing
Power-supply bypass capacitors are not typically needed, but would be called for in cases where supply
impedance is high, supply leads are long, or excessive
noise is expected on the supply lines. Use 100nF
bypass capacitors under these conditions. Minimize
signal trace lengths to reduce stray capacitance.
Reference Output/Load Capacitance
The MAX9039/MAX904_/MAX905_ do not require an
output capacitor on REF for frequency stability. They
are stable for capacitive loads up to 4.7nF. However, in
applications where the load or the supply can experience step changes, an output capacitor will reduce the
amount of overshoot (or undershoot) and assist the circuit’s transient response. When an application is not
subject to transient conditions, the REF capacitor can
be omitted.
Biasing for Data Recovery
Digital data is often embedded into a bandwidth- and
amplitude-limited analog path. Recovering the data can
be difficult. Figure 2 compares the input signal to a
time-averaged version of itself. This self-biases the
threshold to the average input voltage for optimal noise
margin.
Even severe phase distortion is eliminated from the digital output signal. Be sure to choose R1 and C1 so that:
where f
CAR
is the fundamental carrier frequency of the
digital data stream.
UCSP Package Consideration
For general UCSP package information and PC layout
considerations, please refer to Maxim Application
Note,"Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package."
UCSP Reliability
The chip-scale package (UCSP) represents a unique
packaging form factor that may not perform equally to a
packaged product through traditional mechanical reliability tests. UCSP reliability is integrally linked to the
user’s assembly methods, circuit board material, and
usage environment. The user should closely review
these areas when considering use of a UCSP.
Performance through Operating Life Test and Moisture
Resistance remains uncompromised as it is primarily
determined by the wafer-fabrication process.
Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration for a UCSP. UCSPs are attached through direct
solder contact to the user’s PC board, foregoing the
inherent stress relief of a packaged product lead frame.
Solder joint contact integrity must be considered.
Information on Maxim’s qualification plan, test data,
and recommendations are detailed in the UCSP application note, which can be found on Maxim’s website at
www.maxim-ic.com.
