Maxim MAX8215/MAX8216 Datasheet

The MAX8215 contains five voltage comparators; four are for monitoring +5V, -5V, +12V, and -12V, and the fifth monitors any desired voltage. The MAX8216 is identical, except it monitors ±15V supplies instead of ±12V. The resistors required to monitor these voltages and provide comparator hysteresis are included on- chip. All comparators have open-drain outputs. These devices consume 250µA max supply current over tem- perature.

About this manual

The MAX8215 contains five voltage comparators – four dedicated for +5 V, –5 V, +12 V and –12 V monitoring and one auxiliary comparator – while the MAX8216 is identical but monitors +15 V instead of +12 V. All comparators feature open‑drain outputs, built‑in hysteresis and consume a maximum of 250 µA supply current.

These devices operate over a wide supply range (2.7 V to 11 V) and temperature range (‑40 °C to +85 °C). They include an internal 1.24 V reference with ±1 % accuracy, and are offered in 14‑pin plastic DIP, SO and CERDIP packages.
