MAX9025–MAX9028
UCSP, 1.8V, Nanopower, Beyond-the-Rails
Comparators With/Without Reference
General Description
The MAX9025/MAX9028 nanopower comparators in
space-saving chip-scale (UCSP™) packages feature
Beyond-the-Rails™ inputs and are guaranteed to oper-
ate down to +1.8V. The MAX9025/MAX9026 feature
an on-board 1.236V ±1% reference and draw an ultra-
low supply current of only 1µA, while the MAX9027−
MAX9028 (without reference) require just 0.6µA of
supply current. These features make the MAX9025−
MAX9028 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 MAX9025/MAX9027 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 MAX9026/MAX9028 have an
open-drain output stage that makes them suitable for
mixed-voltage system design. All devices are available in
the miniature 6-bump UCSP packages.
Refer to the MAX9117 data sheet for similar comparators
in 5-pin SC70 packages and the MAX9017 data sheet for
similar dual comparators in 8-pin SOT23 packages.

Note 1:
All specifications are 100% tested at T

teed by design, not production tested.
Note 2:
V
OS
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., V

) (Figure 2).
Note 4:
Specified with an input overdrive (V
OVERDRIVE
) of 100mV, and load capacitance of C
L

OVERDRIVE
is defined
above and beyond the offset voltage and hysteresis of the comparator input. For the MAX9025/MAX9026, reference volt-
age error should also be added.
