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 lowpower, single-supply 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
low-cost single, dual, and quad comparators without
shutdown, respectively. The comparators’ 4mV of builtin 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 VDD

FUNCTION

applied to SHDN places the device in the shutdown
mode. A minimum logic high voltage of 0.7V V DD
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
1) Find the trip points of the comparator using these
formulas:
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
Figure 2. Time Averaging of the Input Signal for Data Recovery
Board Layout and Bypassing
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
time-averaged 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)
and
VTL = 2.5[1 - (R2 / (R1 + R2))]
where ƒCAR is the fundamental carrier frequency of the
digital data stream.
4) Select R2. In this example, we will choose 1kΩ.
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 railto-rail output swing. If the output is significantly loaded,
the results should be corrected.
