Key Featrues

Ultra-Low Single-Supply Operation down to +1.6V: This feature enables the comparator to operate efficiently in low-power, battery-powered applications, such as portable devices or mobile communications, by minimizing power consumption and extending battery life.
Rail-to-Rail Common-Mode Input Voltage Range: The rail-to-rail input capability ensures accurate signal detection across the entire supply voltage range, making it ideal for applications requiring precise threshold detection or voltage-level translation in ultra-low-voltage systems.
3µA Quiescent Supply Current per Comparator: The extremely low quiescent current significantly reduces power consumption, enhancing energy efficiency in power-sensitive applications like IoT devices or remote sensors.
Open-Drain Outputs Swing Beyond VCC: This feature allows the output to be pulled above the supply voltage (up to 6V), providing flexibility in interfacing with higher-voltage systems and enabling use in mixed-voltage environments.
10µs Propagation Delay (50mV overdrive): The fast response time ensures quick decision-making in applications like threshold detectors or window comparators, improving system performance and reliability in time-critical scenarios.

Applications

Threshold Detector for Battery-Powered Systems: The MAX965–MAX970 comparators are ideal for threshold detection in 2-cell battery-powered or portable systems. Their ultra-low-voltage operation down to +1.6V and rail-to-rail inputs ensure reliable performance in low-power environments, making them suitable for monitoring battery levels or triggering alerts in portable devices.
Ground/Supply Sensing in Mobile Communications: These comparators are well-suited for ground or supply sensing in mobile communication systems. With their rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range and open-drain outputs, they can accurately detect voltage levels and ensure stable operation in communication devices, even under varying supply conditions.
Voltage-Level Translation for Mixed-Signal Systems: The MAX965–MAX970 series is perfect for voltage-level translation in mixed-signal systems. Their ability to operate at ultra-low voltages and swing outputs beyond VCC makes them ideal for interfacing between low-voltage digital circuits and higher-voltage analog components, ensuring seamless signal translation.
Window Comparator for Precision Monitoring: These comparators excel as window comparators for precision monitoring applications. With their low quiescent current and fast propagation delay, they can efficiently detect when a signal falls within or outside a specified voltage range, making them ideal for use in industrial control systems or safety-critical monitoring.
