The MAX977 is ideal for making a window detector
(undervoltage/overvoltage detector). The schematic
shown in Figure 5 uses a MAX6120 reference and com-
ponent values selected for a 2.0V undervoltage thresh-
old and a 2.5V overvoltage threshold. Choose different
thresholds by changing the values of R1, R2, and R3.
OUTA provides an active-low undervoltage indication,
and OUTB gives an active-low overvoltage indication.
ANDing the two outputs provides an active-high,
power-good signal. The design procedure is as follows:
1) Select R1. The leakage current into INB- is normally
2) Choose the overvoltage threshold (V
3) Choose the undervoltage threshold (V

10µA for the thresholds to be accurate. R1 values in
the 50k to 100k range are typical.

The circuit shown in Figure 6 uses a MAX975 in a very
low standby-power AM demodulator circuit that wakes
up a toll tag (part of an automated roadway toll-
collection system). This application requires very long
standby times with brief and infrequent interrogations.
In the awake state, it is capable of demodulating the
typical 600kHz AM carrier riding on the 2.4GHz RF sig-
nal. In this state, the comparator draws its 250µA high-
speed current. After communications have ceased, or
when instructed by the microcontroller, the comparator
returns to its low-power state. The comparator draws
only 3 A in this state, while monitoring for RF activity.
Typically, this application requires two comparators
and a discrete power-management and signal-
switchover circuit. The MAX975 circuit is smaller, sim-
pler, less costly, and saves design time.
