SOT23, 1.8V, Nanopower, Beyond-the-Rails
Comparators With/Without Reference
General Description
The MAX917–MAX920 nanopower comparators in
space-saving SOT23 packages feature Beyond-the-
Rails™ inputs and are guaranteed to operate down to
+1.8V. The MAX917/MAX918 feature an on-board
1.245V ±1.5% reference and draw an ultra-low supply
current of only 750nA, while the MAX919/MAX920 (with-
out reference) require just 380nA of supply current.
These features make the MAX917–MAX920 family of
comparators ideal for all 2-cell battery applications,
including monitoring/management.
The unique design of the output stage limits supply-cur-
rent surges while switching, virtually eliminating the
supply glitches typical of many other comparators. This
design also minimizes overall power consumption
under dynamic conditions. The MAX917/MAX919 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 8mA. The MAX918/MAX920
have an open-drain output stage that makes them suit-
able for mixed-voltage system design.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
