Rochester Electronics Linear - Comparators MAX984ESE

The MAX984ESE is an ultra-low-power, open-drain comparator designed for single or dual-supply applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 11V and features a low quiescent current of less than 4¬µA, making it suitable for battery-powered systems. The device includes an internal voltage reference with a tolerance of ¬±2% and supports input voltage ranges from the negative supply rail to within 1.3V of the positive supply. The MAX984ESE allows for easy implementation of hysteresis using an external resistor network, enhancing stability in applications such as threshold detection and level translation. Its open-drain output configuration enables wire-ORed connections, which is beneficial for multi-device setups. The device is available in a 16-pin narrow SO package and is rated for operation over a temperature range of -40¬8C to +85¬8C. Engineers looking for a low-power comparator with flexible supply options and integrated hysteresis may find the MAX984ESE a suitable choice for their projects.
