Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower,
Ultra-Low-Voltage, Rail-to-Rail I/O Comparators
____________________________Features
The MAX965–MAX970 single/dual/quad micropower
comparators feature rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, and
fully specified single-supply operation down to +1.6V.
These devices draw less than 5µA per comparator and
have open-drain outputs that can be pulled beyond VCC
to 6V (max) above ground. In addition, their rail-to-rail
input common-mode voltage range makes these comparators suitable for ultra-low-voltage operation.
A +1.6V to +5.5V single-supply operating voltage range
makes the MAX965 family of comparators ideal for 2-cell
battery-powered applications. The MAX965/MAX967/
MAX968/MAX969 offer programmable hysteresis and
an internal 1.235V ±1.5% reference. All devices are
available in either space-saving 8-pin µMAX® or 16-pin
QSOP packages.

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.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX965–MAX970 single/dual/quad, micropower,
ultra-low-voltage comparators feature rail-to-rail inputs
and outputs and an internal 1.235V ±1.5% bandgap
reference. These devices operate from a single +1.6V
to +5.5V supply voltage range, and consume less than
5µA supply current per comparator over the extended
temperature range. Internal hysteresis is programmable
up to ±50mV using two external resistors and the
device’s internal reference. The rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range and the open-drain outputs
allow easy voltage-level conversion for multivoltage
systems. All inputs and outputs can tolerate a continuous short-circuit fault condition to either rail.
The MAX965 is a single comparator with adjustable
hysteresis and a reference output pin. The MAX966 is a
dual comparator without the reference and without
adjustable hysteresis. The MAX967 is a dual compara-
tor configured as a dual voltage monitor with common
hysteresis adjustment and a reference output. The dual
MAX968 is similar to the MAX967, but is configured as
a window comparator. The MAX969 is a quad comparator with a common hysteresis adjustment and a reference output pin. The MAX970 is a quad comparator
without a reference and without hysteresis adjustment.
(See Functional Diagrams and Selector Guide.)
Comparator Input
The MAX965–MAX970 have a -0.25V to VCC input common-mode range. Both comparator inputs may operate
at any differential voltage within the common-mode
voltage range, and the comparator displays the correct
output logic state.
Low-Voltage Operation: VCC Down to 1V
The minimum operating voltage is 1.6V. As the supply
voltage falls below 1.6V, performance degrades
and supply current falls. The reference does not

Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower,
Ultra-Low-Voltage, Rail-to-Rail I/O Comparators
Figure 1 shows a typical comparator application that
monitors VCC at 1.6V. Resistor divider R1/R2 sets the
voltage trip point (VTRIP) at 1.6V. As VCC drops below
1.6V and approaches 1V, the reference voltage typically falls below the divider voltage (V+). This causes the
comparator output to change state. If OUT’s state must
be maintained under these conditions, a latching circuit
is required.
Comparator Output
The MAX965–MAX970 contain a unique slew-ratecontrolled output stage capable of rail-to-rail operation
with an external pull-up resistor. Typical comparators
consume orders of magnitude more current during
switching than during steady-state operation. With the
MAX965 family of comparators, during an output transition from high to low, the output slew rate is limited to
minimize switching current.
Voltage Reference
With VCC greater than 1.6V but less than 5.5V, the internal 1.235V bandgap reference is ±1.5% accurate over
the commercial temperature range and ±2.5% accurate over the extended temperature range. The REF
output is typically capable of sourcing 50µA. To reduce
reference noise or to provide noise immunity, bypass
REF with a capacitor (0.1nF to 0.1µF).
Noise Considerations
The comparator has an effective wideband peak-topeak noise of around 10µV. The voltage reference has
peak-to-peak noise approaching 1.0mV with a 0.1µF
bypass capacitor. Thus, when a comparator is used
with the reference, the combined peak-to-peak noise is
about 1.0mV. This, of course, is much higher than the
individual components’ RMS noise. Avoid capacitive
coupling from any output to the reference pin. Crosstalk
can significantly increase the references’ actual noise.
__________Applications Information
Hysteresis
Many comparators oscillate in the linear region of operation because of noise or undesired parasitic feedback. This tends to occur when the voltage on one
input is equal or very close to the voltage on the other
input. The MAX965–MAX970 have internal hysteresis to
counter parasitic effects and noise. In addition, with the
use of external resistor, the MAX965/MAX967/
MAX968/MAX969’s hysteresis can be programmed to
as much as ±50mV (see the section Adding Hysteresis
to the MAX965/MAX967/MAX968/MAX969).
The hysteresis in a comparator creates two trip points:
one for the rising input voltage and one for the falling
input voltage (Figure 2). The difference between the trip
points is the hysteresis. When the comparator’s input
voltages are equal, the hysteresis effectively causes
one comparator input voltage to move quickly past the
other, thus taking the input out of the region where
oscillation occurs.
