Maxim Integrated MAX921CUA-TG096 Low-Power, High-Speed Comparator

The MAX921CUA-TG096 is a cutting-edge comparator from Maxim Integrated, designed for systems where high-speed performance and low power consumption are critical. This precision voltage comparator is ideal for a wide range of applications, including battery-powered devices, threshold detectors, and timing circuits, among others.

Featuring a proprietary design, the MAX921CUA-TG096 offers a fast propagation delay of just 240ns, making it one of the quickest in its class. Despite its high-speed capabilities, it maintains an impressively low power consumption, with a quiescent current of merely 4µA at +5V. This balance of speed and efficiency ensures that your applications can operate swiftly without draining your power sources.

The device operates from a single +2.5V to +11V supply, or from dual ±1.25V to ±5.5V supplies, providing flexibility in design for various system voltages. This versatility is further enhanced by its wide input voltage range, which extends from the negative supply rail to within 1.3V of the positive supply rail, allowing for near-ground sensing, which is particularly useful in single-supply operations.

The MAX921CUA-TG096 also boasts an internal hysteresis feature, which ensures clean output switching even with slow-moving or noisy input signals. This reduces the likelihood of false triggering and enhances the stability of your system.

Enclosed in an ultra-small 8-pin µMAX package, the MAX921CUA-TG096 saves valuable board space, making it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications. Its compact size does not compromise its performance or reliability, ensuring that it can be integrated into the most demanding of designs.

With its combination of high-speed operation, low power consumption, and compact form factor, the Maxim Integrated MAX921CUA-TG096 is an exceptional component for designers looking to optimize their systems for both performance and power efficiency.
