Applications
Battery-Powered Sensor Interface: The MAX976/MAX978/MAX998 comparators are ideal for battery-powered sensor interfaces, such as those used in portable medical devices or IoT sensors. Their low power consumption (225µA per comparator) and single-supply operation down to 2.7V make them suitable for extending battery life in remote or mobile applications. The rail-to-rail outputs and ground-sensing inputs ensure reliable performance even with low-voltage sensors.
Threshold Detection in IR Receivers: These comparators are well-suited for threshold detection in IR receivers, such as those used in remote controls or proximity sensors. The 20ns propagation delay and internal hysteresis ensure clean switching and accurate detection of IR signals, even in noisy environments. Their compact SOT23 package makes them ideal for space-constrained designs.
Digital-Line Receiver for Industrial Communication: The MAX976/MAX978/MAX998 can be used as digital-line receivers in industrial communication systems, such as RS-485 or CAN bus interfaces. Their high-speed operation (28ns max propagation delay) and rail-to-rail outputs ensure reliable signal transmission and reception in harsh industrial environments. The low-power shutdown mode (1nA) is beneficial for energy-efficient systems.
Precision Threshold Discriminator for 3V Systems: These comparators are perfect for precision threshold discrimination in 3V systems, such as battery monitoring or low-voltage signal conditioning. The 4mV hysteresis and 2mV input offset voltage ensure accurate discrimination of small signal variations, while the rail-to-rail outputs and ground-sensing inputs provide flexibility in interfacing with various sensors and signal sources.
