The MAX44268 is an ultra-small and low-power dual
comparator ideal for battery-powered applications such
as cell phones, notebooks, and portable medical devices
that have extremely aggressive board space and power
constraints. The comparator is available in a miniature
1.3mm x 1.3mm, 9-bump WLP package, making it the
industry’s smallest dual comparator.
The IC can be powered from supply rails as low as 1.8V
and up to 5.5V. It also features a 1.236V ±1% reference
and a 0.7µA typical supply current per comparator. It has
a rail-to-rail input structure and a unique output stage that
limits supply current surges while switching. This design
also minimizes overall power consumption under dynamic conditions. The IC has open-drain outputs, making it
suitable for mixed voltage systems. The IC also features
internal filtering to provide high RF immunity. It operates
over a -40°C to +85°C temperature.

Note 1: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
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.
