Key Featrues

Ultra-Low 4µA Max Quiescent Current: The MAX931–MAX934 comparators consume less than 4µA of supply current, even over extended temperature ranges. This ultra-low power consumption makes them ideal for battery-powered applications, significantly extending battery life and improving energy efficiency.
Internal 1.182V ±2% Bandgap Reference: The integrated 1.182V voltage reference with ±2% accuracy ensures precise threshold detection and reduces the need for external components. This feature enhances reliability and simplifies circuit design in applications like window comparators and threshold detectors.
Adjustable Hysteresis: The comparators offer programmable hysteresis, which helps eliminate noise-induced oscillations in the output. This feature improves stability and performance in noisy environments, making them suitable for alarm circuits and oscillator designs.
TTL-/CMOS-Compatible Outputs: The outputs are compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels, providing flexibility in interfacing with various digital systems. This compatibility broadens the range of use cases and ensures seamless integration into mixed-signal designs.
12µs Propagation Delay (10mV Overdrive): With a fast 12µs propagation delay, the comparators respond quickly to input changes, even with small overdrive voltages. This speed is critical for high-performance applications requiring rapid signal detection and processing.

Applications

Threshold Detection in Battery-Powered Systems: The MAX931–MAX934 comparators are perfect for implementing threshold detection in battery-powered applications, such as portable medical devices or remote sensors. Their ultra-low quiescent current ensures minimal power consumption, while the internal 1.182V ±2% reference provides accurate threshold detection, making them ideal for monitoring battery levels or environmental thresholds in energy-efficient systems.
Window Comparator for Industrial Control: These comparators excel in window comparator configurations for industrial control systems, where they can monitor voltage levels within a defined range. The adjustable hysteresis feature ensures stable operation in noisy environments, while the TTL/CMOS-compatible outputs simplify integration with digital control circuits, making them suitable for motor control, power supply monitoring, and safety systems.
Oscillator Circuits for Low-Power Timers: The MAX931–MAX934 series is well-suited for designing low-power oscillator circuits in applications such as timers or clock generators. With their ultra-low 4µA quiescent current and wide supply voltage range, they enable the creation of energy-efficient oscillators for use in wearable devices, IoT sensors, or other battery-operated systems requiring precise timing.
Alarm Circuits for Safety Monitoring: These comparators are ideal for building alarm circuits in safety-critical applications, such as smoke detectors or gas leak sensors. The internal voltage reference and programmable hysteresis ensure reliable detection of threshold crossings, while the low power consumption extends battery life in standalone alarm systems, making them a robust choice for safety monitoring in residential and industrial settings.
