SC70, 1.6V, Nanopower, Beyond-the-Rails
Comparators With/Without Reference
The MAX9117–MAX9120 nanopower comparators in
space-saving SC70 packages feature Beyond-theRails™ inputs and are guaranteed to operate down to
+1.6V. The MAX9117/MAX9118 feature an on-board
1.252V ±1.75% reference and draw an ultra-low supply
current of only 600nA, while the MAX9119/MAX9120
(without reference) require just 350nA of supply current.
These features make the MAX9117–MAX9120 family of
comparators ideal for all 2-cell battery-monitoring/management applications.
The unique design of the output stage limits supply-current surges while switching, virtually eliminating the supply glitches typical of many other comparators. This
design also minimizes overall power consumption under
dynamic conditions. The MAX9117/MAX9119 have a
push-pull output stage that sinks and sources current.
Large internal-output drivers allow rail-to-rail output
swing with loads up to 5mA. The MAX9118/MAX9120
have an open-drain output stage that makes them suitable for mixed-voltage system design. All devices are
available in the ultra-small 5-pin SC70 package.

Note 1: All specifications are 100% tested at TA = +25°C. Specification limits over temperature (TA = TMIN to TMAX) are guaranteed
by design, not production tested.
Note 2: VOS is defined as the center of the hysteresis band at the input.
Note 3: The hysteresis-related trip points are defined as the edges of the hysteresis band, measured with respect to the center of
the band (i.e., VOS) (Figure 2).
Note 4: Specified with an input overdrive (VOVERDRIVE) of 100mV, and load capacitance of CL = 15pF. VOVERDRIVE is defined
above and beyond the offset voltage and hysteresis of the comparator input. For the MAX9117/MAX9118, reference voltage
error should also be added.

Detailed Description
The MAX9117/MAX9118 feature an on-board 1.252V
±1.75% reference, yet draw an ultra-low supply current
of 600nA. The MAX9119/MAX9120 (without reference)
consume just 350nA of supply current. All four devices
are guaranteed to operate down to +1.6V. Their common-mode input voltage range extends 200mV
beyond-the-rails. Internal hysteresis ensures clean output switching, even with slow-moving input signals.
Large internal output drivers allow rail-to-rail output
swing with up to ±5mA loads.
The output stage employs a unique design that minimizes supply-current surges while switching, virtually
eliminating the supply glitches typical of many other
comparators. The MAX9117/MAX9119 have a push-pull
output stage that sinks as well as sources current. The
MAX9118/MAX9120 have an open-drain output stage
that can be pulled beyond VCC to an absolute maximum of 6V above VEE. These open-drain versions are
ideal for implementing wire-OR output logic functions.
Input Stage Circuitry
The input common-mode voltage range extends from
VEE - 0.2V to VCC + 0.2V. These comparators operate
at any differential input voltage within these limits. Input
bias current is typically ±0.15nA if the input voltage is
between the supply rails. Comparator inputs are protected from overvoltage by internal ESD protection
diodes connected to the supply rails. As the input voltage exceeds the supply rails, these ESD protection
diodes become forward biased and begin to conduct.
Output Stage Circuitry
The MAX9117–MAX9120 contain a unique breakbefore-make output stage capable of rail-to-rail operation with up to ±5mA loads. 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.
In the Typical Operating Characteristics, the Supply
Current vs. Output Transition Frequency graphs show
the minimal supply-current increase as the output
switching frequency approaches 1kHz. This characteristic reduces the need for power-supply filter capacitors to reduce glitches created by comparator
switching currents. In battery-powered applications,
this characteristic results in a substantial increase in
battery life.

Comparators With/Without Reference
Reference (MAX9117/MAX9118)
The internal reference in the MAX9117/MAX9118 has an
output voltage of +1.252V with respect to VEE. Its typical
temperature coefficient is 100ppm/°C over the full
-40°C to +85°C temperature range. The reference is a
PNP emitter-follower driven by a 120nA current source
(Figure 1). The output impedance of the voltage reference is typically 200kΩ, preventing the reference from
driving large loads. The reference can be bypassed with
a low-leakage capacitor. The reference is stable for any
capacitive load. For applications requiring a lower output
impedance, buffer the reference with a low-input-leakage op amp, such as the MAX4162.
Applications Information
Low-Voltage, Low-Power Operation
The MAX9117–MAX9120 are ideally suited for use with
most battery-powered systems. Table 1 lists a variety of
battery types, capacities, and approximate operating
times for the MAX9117–MAX9120, assuming nominal
conditions.
Internal 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 MAX9117–MAX9120 have internal hysteresis
to counter parasitic effects and noise.
The hysteresis in a comparator creates two trip points:
one for the rising input voltage (VTHR) and one for the
falling input voltage (VTHF) (Figure 2). The difference
between the trip points is the hysteresis (VHB). When
the comparator’s input voltages are equal, the hysteresis effectively causes one comparator input to move
quickly past the other, thus taking the input out of the

region where oscillation occurs. Figure 2 illustrates the
case in which IN- has a fixed voltage applied, and IN+
is varied. If the inputs were reversed, the figure would
be the same, except with an inverted output.
Additional Hysteresis (MAX9117/MAX9119)
The MAX9117/MAX9119 have a 4mV internal hysteresis
band (VHB). Additional hysteresis can be generated
with three resistors using positive feedback (Figure 3).
Unfortunately, this method also slows hysteresis response time. Use the following procedure to calculate
resistor values.
1) Select R3. Leakage current at IN is under 2nA, so the
current through R3 should be at least 0.2µA to minimize errors caused by leakage current. The current
through R3 at the trip point is (VREF - VOUT) / R3.
Considering the two possible output states in solving
for R3 yields two formulas: R3 = VREF / IR3 or R3 =
(VCC - VREF) / IR3. Use the smaller of the two resulting resistor values. For example, when using the

Figure 2. Threshold Hysteresis Band
MAX9117 (VREF = 1.252V) and VCC = +5V, and if
we choose IR3 = 1µA, then the two resistor values
are 1.2MΩ and 3.8MΩ. Choose a 1.2MΩ standard
value for R3.
2) Choose the hysteresis band required (VHB). For this
example, choose 50mV.
3) Calculate R1 according to the following equation:
R1 = R3 (VHB / VCC)
For this example, insert the values:
R1 = 1.2MΩ (50mV / 5V) = 12kΩ
4) Choose the trip point for VIN rising (VTHR) such that
VTHR > VREF ✕ (R1 + R3) / R3, (VTHR is the trip point
for VIN rising). This is the threshold voltage at which
the comparator switches its output from low to high
as VIN rises above the trip point. For this example,
choose 3V.
5) Calculate R2 as follows:
R2 = 1 / [VTHR / (VREF ✕ R1) - (1 / R1) - (1 / R3)]
R2 = 1 / [3.0V / (1.252V ✕ 12kΩ) - (1 / 12kΩ) (1 / 1.2MΩ)] = 8.655kΩ
For this example, choose an 8.66kΩ standard 1% value.
6) Verify the trip voltages and hysteresis as follows:
VIN rising: VTHR = VREF ✕ R1 [(1 / R1) + (1 / R2)
+ (1 / R3)] = 3V
VIN falling: VTHF = VTHR - (R1 ✕ VCC / R3) = 2.95V
Hysteresis = VTHR - VTHF = 50mV
Figure 3. MAX9117/MAX9119 Additional Hysteresis
Additional Hysteresis (MAX9118/MAX9120)
The MAX9118/MAX9120 have a 4mV internal hysteresis
band. They have open-drain outputs and require an
external pullup resistor (Figure 4). Additional hysteresis
can be generated using positive feedback, but the formulas differ slightly from those of the MAX9117/
MAX9119. Use the following procedure to calculate
resistor values.
1) Select R3 according to the formulas R3 = VREF / 1µA
or R3 = (VCC - VREF) / 1µA - R4. Use the smaller of
the two resulting resistor values.
2) Choose the hysteresis band required (VHB).
3) Calculate R1 according to the following equation:
R1 = (R3 + R4) (VHB / VCC)
4) Choose the trip point for VIN rising (VTHR) (VTHR is
the trip point for VIN rising). This is the threshold voltage at which the comparator switches its output
from low to high as VIN rises above the trip point.
5) Calculate R2 as follows:
⎡⎛ VTHR ⎞ 1
1 ⎤
R2 = 1 / ⎢⎜

⎢⎣⎝ VREF × R1⎠ R1 R 3 ⎥⎦

Typical Application Circuit
Board Layout and Bypassing
Power-supply bypass capacitors are not typically
needed, but use 100nF bypass capacitors close to the
device’s supply pins when supply impedance is high,
supply leads are long, or excessive noise is expected
on the supply lines. Minimize signal trace lengths to
reduce stray capacitance. A ground plane and surface-mount components are recommended. If the REF
pin is decoupled, use a new low-leakage capacitor.

Logic-Level Translator
The Typical Application Circuit shows an application
that converts 5V logic to 3V logic levels. The MAX9120
is powered by the +5V supply voltage, and the pullup
resistor for the MAX9120’s open-drain output is connected to the +3V supply voltage. This configuration
allows the full 5V logic swing without creating overvoltage on the 3V logic inputs. For 3V to 5V logic-level
translations, simply connect the +3V supply voltage to
VCC and the +5V supply voltage to the pullup resistor.
