MAX9100/MAX9101
General Description
The MAX9100/MAX9101 micropower comparators are
optimized for single-cell systems, and are fully specified for operation from a single supply of +1.0V to
+5.5V. This ultra-low voltage operation, 5µA quiescent
current consumption, and small footprint make the
MAX9100/MAX9101 ideal for use in battery-powered
systems. A wide-input common-mode range that
includes the negative rail and Rail-to-Rail® output swing
allows almost all of the power supply to be used for signal voltage. In addition, propagation delay is less than
4µs, and rise and fall times are 100ns.
The MAX9100 features a push-pull CMOS output stage
that sinks and sources current with large internal output
drivers that allow rail-to-rail output swings with loads up
to 5mA.The MAX9101 has an open-drain output stage
that makes it suitable for mixed-voltage designs.
The MAX9100/MAX9101 are available in tiny SOT23-5
packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX9100/MAX9101 are low-power and ultra-low
single-supply voltage comparators. They have an operating supply voltage range between +1.0V to +5.5V
and consume only 5µA of quiescent supply current,
while achieving 4µs propagation delay.
Input Stage Circuitry and
Rail-to-Rail Operation
The devices’ input common-mode range is fully specified from 0 to (VCC - 0.2V), although full rail-to-rail input
range is possible with degraded performance. These
comparators may operate at any differential input voltage within these limits. Input bias current is typically
±5nA if the input voltage is within the specified common-mode range. Comparator inputs are protected
from overvoltage by internal diodes connected to the
supply rails. As the input voltage exceeds the supply
rails, these diodes become forward biased and begin
6
2V/div
5.0ms/div
to conduct. Consequently, bias currents increase exponentially as the input voltage exceeds the supply rails.
True rail-to-rail input operation is also possible. For
input common-mode voltages from VCC - 0.2V to VCC,
the input bias current will typically increase to 800nA.
Additionally, the supply current will typically increase to
7µA. Otherwise, the device functions as within the
specified common-mode range. See graphs in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
Output Stage Circuitry
The MAX9100/MAX9101 contain a unique output stage
capable of rail-to-rail operation. 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. Output Transition Frequency shows the minimal supply-current increase as the output switching
frequency approaches 100kHz. This characteristic
reduces the requirement for power-supply filter capacitors to reduce glitches created by comparator switching currents. This feature increases battery life in
portable applications.
Push-Pull Output (MAX9100)
The MAX9100 has a push-pull CMOS output. The output stage swings rail-to-rail under no-load conditions.
External load drive capability varies with supply voltage.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
+1.0V Micropower SOT23 Comparators
VTH is the threshold voltage at which the comparator
switches its output from high to low as V IN rises
above the trip point. VTL is the threshold voltage at
which the comparator switches its output from low to
high as VIN drops below the trip point.
2) The hysteresis band will be:



 R1 + R2 
Applications Information
Low-Voltage Operation: VCC = 1V
The minimum operating voltage is +1.0V. At lower supply voltages, the input common-mode range remains
rail-to-rail, but the comparator’s output drive capability is
reduced and propagation delay increases (see Typical
Operating Characteristics).
Internal Hysteresis
Hysteresis increases the comparators’ noise margin by
increasing the upper threshold and decreasing the
lower threshold (Figure 1). This hysteresis prevents the
comparator from providing multiple poles when driven
with a very-slow-changing signal.
Additional Hysteresis
These comparators have 1.0mV internal hysteresis.
Additional hysteresis can be generated with two resistors using positive feedback (Figure 2). Use the following procedure to calculate resistor values:
3) In this example, let VCC = +5V and VREF = +2.5V:
 R2 
VTH = 2.5 + 2.5 

 R1 + R2 
and

R2 
VTL = 2.5 1 −

R1 + R2 

4) Select R2. In this example, we will choose 1kΩ.
5) Select VHYS. In this example, we will choose 50mV.
6) Solve for R1:
 R2 
VHYS = VCC 

 R1 + R2 
1) Calculate the trip points of the comparator using
these formulas:
(
)

 V
CC − VREF R2

VTH = VREF + 


R1 + R2


and

R2 
VTL = VREF 1 −

 R1 + R2 
 1000 
0.050 = 5 

 R1 +1000 
where R1 ≈ 100kΩ, VTH = 2.525V, and VTL = 2.475V.
Board Layout and Bypassing
A power-supply bypass capacitor is not normally
required, but 100nF bypass capacitors can be used
when the supply impedance is high or when the supply

Open-Drain Output (MAX9101)
The MAX9101 has an open-drain output, which can be
pulled up to +6.0V above ground independent of the
supply voltage. This is typically used with an external
pullup resistor, facilitating interface between mixed logic
voltages. Alternatively, multiple open-drain comparator
outputs can be connected in a wire-OR configuration.

3V to 5V
Figure 3 shows an application that converts 3V logic
levels to 5V logic levels. The push-pull output MAX9100
is powered by the +5V supply voltage, and the inverting input is biased to +1.5V with two resistors. This configuration allows a full 5V swing at the output,
maximizing the noise margin of the receiving circuit.

Figure 4 shows an application that converts 1V logic

inverting input is biased to +0.5V with two resistors.
