UCSP, 1.8V, Nanopower, Beyond-the-Rails
Comparators With/Without Reference
General Description
The MAX9025–MAX9028 nanopower comparators in
space-saving chip-scale (UCSP™) packages feature
Beyond-the-Rails™ inputs and are guaranteed to operate down to +1.8V. The MAX9025/MAX9026 feature an
on-board 1.236V ±1% reference and draw an ultra-low
supply current of only 1µA, while the MAX9027/
MAX9028 (without reference) require just 0.6µA of supply
current. These features make the MAX9025–MAX9028
family of comparators ideal for all 2-cell batterymonitoring/management applications.
The unique design of the output stage limits supplycurrent surges while switching, virtually eliminating the
supply glitches typical of many other comparators. This
design also minimizes overall power consumption under
dynamic conditions. The MAX9025/MAX9027 have a
push-pull output stage that sinks and sources current.
Large internal-output drivers allow rail-to-rail output
swing with loads up to 5mA. The MAX9026/MAX9028
have an open-drain output stage that makes them suitable for mixed-voltage system design. All devices are
available in the miniature 6-bump UCSP packages.
Refer to the MAX9117 data sheet for similar comparators
in 5-pin SC70 packages and the MAX9017 data sheet for
similar dual comparators in 8-pin SOT23 packages.

(VCC= +5V, VEE= 0V, VCM= 0V, TA= -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at TA= +25°C.) (Note 1)
Note 1: All specifications are 100% tested at T

MIN

MAX
) are guaranteed
by design, not production tested.
Note 2: V

is defined as the center of the hysteresis band at the input.
Note 3: The hysteresis-related trip points are defined as the edges of the hysteresis band, measured with respect to the center of
the band (i.e., V
OS
) (Figure 2).
Note 4: Specified with an input overdrive (V
OVERDRIVE
) of 100mV, and load capacitance of CL= 15pF. V
OVERDRIVE
is defined
above and beyond the offset voltage and hysteresis of the comparator input. For the MAX9025/MAX9026, reference voltage
error should also be added.
