Linear - Comparators

The MAX982CUA-T, by Maxim Integrated, is a dual rail-to-rail, low voltage comparator with relatively low power consumption. It has independent inputs and output stages, making it an ideal choice for multiple applications. This article shall discuss the application field of the MAX982CUA-T and its operating principles.

Application Field

The MAX982CUA-T is designed to respond to small input signals accurately. Its features make it suitable for use in many consumer electronics, such as mobile phones and tablets, as well as some industrial/medical equipment. In consumer electronics, it can be used in power management, low power monitoring, and in other low power linear applications such as analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. In industrial/medical applications, it can be used in precision measurement and control, level detection, and amplifier stages.

The rail-to-rail input and output stages of the comparator give it the versatility to be used in various analog applications. Its low voltage operation and low power dissipation makes it suitable for mobile and battery-powered systems. The MAX982CUA-T also has a comparator hysteresis of 150mV which allows it to accurately handle small levels of noise, making it ideal for low voltage, low power applications.

Working Principle

The MAX982CUA-T works by comparing two input signals, one reference and one variable. When the reference is greater than the variable, the output pin is grounded, otherwise it is open, depending on the configuration used. The two inputs are independent and do not need to be at the same voltage level. The rail-to-rail input, with the hysteresis, allows for precise and predictable operation of the comparator under different levels of noise. This makes it an ideal component for precise measurement, or for level detection, such as in battery monitors.

The output of the MAX982CUA-T is not just a logical ‘high’ or ‘low’, as in CMOS. Instead, it can be either open drain or open collector depending on the needs of the application. This allows designers more flexibility in the design of the circuit in order to accommodate different voltages and levels of noise. In addition, the comparator is also able to run on a variety of voltages and is capable of operating down to a single 1.8V supply.

Conclusion

The MAX982CUA-T, by Maxim Integrated, is a versatile dual-rail-to-rail comparator that provides low voltage, low power operation with independent input and output stages. It can be used in a variety of applications, including power management, low power monitoring, precision measurement, and level detection. The weak hysteresis and rail-to-rail input/output stages provide accurate and precise operation even with small levels of noise. In addition, the open drain/collector output can provide versatility for different power and voltage applications.

All things considered, the MAX982CUA-T provides a low power, low voltage, rail-to-rail comparator with a variety of features and uses. It is an ideal device for creating reliable and precise circuits in battery-powered and/or portable devices.
