General Description

The MAX9075/MAX9077 single/dual comparators are
optimized for 3V and 5V single-supply applications.
These comparators have a 580ns propagation delay and
consume just 3µA per comparator. The combination of
low-power, single-supply operation down to 2.1V, and
ultra-small footprint makes these devices ideal for all
portable applications.

The MAX9075/MAX9077 have a common-mode input
voltage range of -0.2V to VCC- 1.2V. Unlike many com­parators, there is no differential clamp between the
inputs, allowing the differential input voltage range to
extend rail-to-rail. All inputs and outputs tolerate a con­tinuous short-circuit fault condition to either rail.

The design of the output stage limits supply-current
surges while switching (typical of many other compara­tors), minimizing power consumption under dynamic
conditions. Large internal push-pull output drivers allow
rail-to-rail output swing with loads up to 2mA, making
these devices ideal for interface with TTL/CMOS logic.

The MAX9075 single comparator is available in 5-pin
SC70 and SOT23 packages, while the MAX9077
dual comparator is available in 8-pin SOT23, µMAX®,
and SO packages.

, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at TA= +25°C.) (Note 1)

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.

Note 1: All devices are 100% production tested at TA= +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: Inferred from CMRR. Either input can be driven to the absolute maximum limit without output inversion, as long as the other

input is within the input voltage range.

Note 3: Guaranteed by design.
