MAX9030/MAX9031/
MAX9032/MAX9034
Low-Cost, Ultra-Small, Single/Dual/Quad
Single-Supply Comparators
General Description
The MAX9030/MAX9031/MAX9032/MAX9034 single/
dual/quad comparators are optimized for single-supply
applications from +2.5V to +5.5V but can also be operated from dual supplies. These comparators have a 188ns
propagation delay and consume 35μA of supply current
per comparator over the -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. The combination of low-power, singlesupply operation down to +2.5V, and ultra-small footprint
makes these devices ideal for portable applications.
The MAX9030 is a low-cost single comparator with shutdown. The MAX9031, MAX9032, and MAX9034 are lowcost single, dual, and quad comparators without shutdown,
respectively. The comparators’ 4mV of built-in hysteresis
provides noise immunity and prevents oscillations even
with a slow-moving input signal. The input common-mode
range extends from the negative supply to within 1.1V of
the positive supply. The design of the comparator output
stage substantially reduces switching current during output
transitions, virtually eliminating power-supply glitches. The
MAX9030 single comparator with shutdown is available in
the space-saving 6-pin SC70 and SOT23 packages.
The MAX9031 single comparator is available in tiny
5-pin SC70 and SOT23 packages. The MAX9032 dual
comparator is available in 8-pin SOT23 and μMAX® packages, and the MAX9034 quad comparator is available in
a 14-pin TSSOP package.

Detailed Description
The MAX9030/MAX9031/MAX9032/MAX9034 are single/
dual/quad low-cost comparators. They have an operating
supply voltage from +2.5V to +5.5V when operating from
a single supply and from ±1.25V to ±2.75V when operating from dual power supplies, and consume only 35μA.
Their common-mode input voltage range extends from
the negative supply to within 1.1V of the positive supply.
Internal hysteresis ensures clean output switching, even
with slow-moving input signals.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX9030 comparator comes with a power-saving
shutdown mode. When in shutdown, the supply current
drops from a typical 35μA to 0.05μA, and the outputs
become high impedance. SHDN has a high input impedance and typically draws 0.1μA when connected to VSS or
VDD. A maximum logic low voltage of 0.3V x VDD applied
www.maximintegrated.com
Comparator D Inverting Input
Comparator D Output
to SHDN places the device in the shutdown mode. A minimum logic high voltage of 0.7V x VDD applied to SHDN
will enable normal operation. To disable shutdown, connect SHDN to VDD.
Applications Information
Adding Hysteresis
Hysteresis extends the comparator’s noise margin by
increasing the upper threshold and decreasing the lower
threshold. A voltage-divider from the output of the comparator sets the trip voltage. Therefore, the trip voltage is
related to the output voltage.
These comparators have 4mV internal hysteresis.
Additional hysteresis can be generated with two resistors
using positive feedback (Figure 1). Use the following procedure to calculate resistor values:

Figure 1. Additional Hysteresis
Figure 2. Time Averaging of the Input Signal for Data Recovery
1) Find the trip points of the comparator using these
formulas:
Board Layout and Bypassing
VTH = VREF + [((VDD - VREF)R2) / (R1 + R2)
VTL = VREF(1 - (R2 / (R1 + R2))]
where VTH is the threshold voltage at which the comparator switches its output from high to low as VIN 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:
VHYS = VTH - VTL = VDD(R2 / (R1 + R2))
3) In this example, let VDD = +5V and VREF = +2.5V.
VTH = 2.5V + 2.5(R2 / (R1 + R2))V
and
VTL = 2.5[1 - (R2 / (R1 + R2))]
4) Select R2. In this example, we will choose 1kΩ.
Use 100nF bypass as a starting point. Minimize signal
trace lengths to reduce stray capacitance. Minimize the
capacitive coupling between IN- and OUT. For slowmoving input signals (rise-time > 1ms), use a 1nF capacitor between IN+ and IN-.
Biasing for Data Recovery
Digital data is often embedded into a bandwidth and
amplitude-limited analog path. Recovering the data can
be difficult. Figure 2 compares the input signal to a timeaveraged version of itself. This self-biases the threshold
to the average input voltage for optimal noise margin.
Even severe phase distortion is eliminated from the digital
output signal. Be sure to choose R1 and C1 so that:
ƒCAR >> 1 / (2πR1C1)
where ƒCAR is the fundamental carrier frequency of the
digital data stream.
5) Select VHYS. In this example, we will choose 50mV.
6) Solve for R1.
VHYS = VDD(R2 / (R1 + R2))
0.050V = 5(1000Ω/(R1 + 1000Ω))V
where R1 ≈ 100kΩ, VTH = 2.525V, and VTL = 2.475V.
The above-described design procedure assumes rail-torail output swing. If the output is significantly loaded, the
results should be corrected.
