Low-Power Comparators with Precision
Reference in 4-Bump UCSP
The MAX9644/MAX9645/MAX9646 are small, single comparators, ideal for a wide variety of portable electronics
applications such as cell phones, media players, and
notebooks that have extremely tight board space and
power constraints. These comparators are offered in both
a miniature 4-bump UCSP™ package with a 1mm x 1mm
footprint (as small as two 0402 resistors) and a
5-pin SOT23 package.
The ICs feature an input voltage range of -0.3V to
+5.5V, independent of supply voltage. These devices
maintain high impedance at the inputs even when powered down (VCC or VREF = 0V). They also feature internal filtering to provide high RF immunity.
The ICs have an internal 0.2V reference. These devices
feature either a push-pull or an open-drain output. They
consume only 700nA (max) supply current and operate
down to VCC = 1V over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Features
o Tiny, 1mm x 1mm x 0.6mm 4-Bump UCSP
Footprint = Two 0402 Resistors
Also Available in a 5-Pin SOT23 Package
o Ultra-Low Operating Current (100nA max)
o -0.3V to +5.5V Input Voltage Range
o Internal 0.2V Reference Trimmed to 1% Accuracy
o 15µs Propagation Delay
o -40°C to +85°C Extended Temperature Range

Low-Power Comparators with Precision
Reference in 4-Bump UCSP
The MAX9644/MAX9645/MAX9646 are extremely small
comparators ideal for compact, low-current, and lowvoltage applications.
The ICs consume only 400nA (typ). The low-voltage
operating capability of the operating current makes
these devices extremely attractive to long-life batteryoperated devices—these applications can now use a
single digital power-supply rail to power the new generation of microcontrollers (which can be down to 0.9V).
All parts are available in a tiny 4-bump UCSP, which is
only 0.6mm tall and occupies a 1mm x 1mm footprint
and a 5-pin SOT23.
Input Stage Circuitry
Noninverting inputs are available on the MAX9644/
MAX9646 and inverting inputs are available on the
MAX9645.
The MAX9644/MAX9645/MAX9646 incorporate an innovative input stage architecture that allows their input
voltage to exceed VCC by several volts (limited only by
the Absolute Maximum Ratings). This is unlike traditional comparators that have an input ESD diode clamp
between the input and VCC, limiting this maximum overvoltage to about 0.3V. The ICs architecture maintains a
high input impedance to input signals even when the
device power-supply voltage is completely turned off
(VCC or REF taken to 0V). This greatly benefits flexible
power-saving schemes to be easily implemented in
advanced battery-operated devices. On-chip filtering
provides immunity from any RF noise being picked up by
input traces. These devices feature an internal temperature-compensated, low-power 0.2V reference voltage.
Output Stage Structure
The MAX9644/MAX9645 have open-drain outputs that
allow them to interface to logic circuitry running from
supply voltages other than the one supplied to the part.
These devices require an external pullup resistor or
current source for proper operation. Many microcontroller digital inputs ports can be readily programmed to
include these.
The MAX9646 has a push-pull output stage that can
both sink and source current, eliminating the need for
an external pullup resistor. In this case, the MAX9646
uses the microcontroller’s power supply as VCC.
Applications Information
Bypassing REF/VCC
Place a 0.1µF capacitor between REF or V CC and
GND as close as possible to the device. During a
switching event, all comparators draw a current spike
from their power-supply rails. This current spike is
minimized by the use of an internal break-before-make
design.
Hysteresis Operation
The ICs feature internal hysteresis for noise immunity
and glitch-free operation. If additional hysteresis is
needed, an external positive feedback network can be
easily implemented on the MAX9644 and MAX9646 noninverting input devices. Additional external hysteresis is
not possible on the MAX9645 because the noninverting
input of the comparator is not externally accessible.
