MIC841NYMT-T5

Comparators Overview

The MIC841NYMT-T5 is a micro-power, precision-voltage comparator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.5V to 5.5V and features an internal 1.24V reference with ±1.25% accuracy. The device draws a typical supply current of 1.5µA and provides an open-drain active-low output capable of being pulled up to 6V independent of VDD. It utilizes a 6-pin TDFN package (1.6mm x 1.6mm) and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Comparators Feature Summary

• Features externally adjustable hysteresis for customizable threshold detection
• Includes an on-chip bandgap voltage reference for high-precision monitoring
• Open-drain output stage allows flexible pull-up voltage selection

Comparators Applications

• Precision battery monitoring systems
• Battery charger circuits
• Smartphone power management
• PDAs and portable electronics

Comparators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T5' corresponds to the 500-unit reel packaging configuration as defined in the official product identification system. Confirm that the 'N' designation matches the required open-drain active-low output stage for your circuit design. Ensure the 6-pin TDFN footprint aligns with your PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement.

Comparators Selection Notes

Select this component when low quiescent current is critical for extending battery life in portable devices. Choose the MIC841 variant over the MIC842 if external resistors are needed to set precise upper and lower trip points with user-defined hysteresis. Verify that the 6V input tolerance meets the maximum signal levels present in your application without exceeding absolute maximum ratings.

Comparators Part Context

This part belongs to the MIC841/2 family of analog comparators designed for voltage monitoring applications. The MIC841 series specifically distinguishes itself by offering adjustable hysteresis through external components, unlike the fixed-hysteresis MIC842. The 'NYMT' code indicates the open-drain output, industrial temperature grade, and 6-pin TDFN package format.

Comparators Replacement Considerations

MIC841NYC5-T5: Identical electrical specifications but housed in a 5-pin SC-70 package instead of TDFN.

Comparators FAQ

Can the open-drain output be pulled up to a voltage higher than the supply voltage?

Yes, the open-drain output can be pulled up to 6V regardless of the IC's supply voltage.

How is hysteresis configured in the MIC841NYMT-T5?

Hysteresis is externally adjustable using three external resistors to set the upper and lower thresholds.
