Dual-function amplifier and comparator in a compact 8-uMAX/uSOP
The MAX9002EUA+ combines an amplifier and a comparator in a single 8-uMAX/uSOP package — a space-saving integration for smart-card interface circuits where both analog signal conditioning and threshold detection are needed on the same die. The 3.00 mm-width MSOP footprint (also compatible with 8-TSSOP land pattern) keeps the board area tight, and the tube packaging means the parts arrive aligned for pick-and-place without reel fees for low-volume kitting.
Active lifecycle and compliance — no sourcing surprises
For a kitting lead, this is the kind of part that stays on the BOM without a periodic obsolescence review — the active status and ROHS3 stamp let you commit the line without a lifecycle contingency.
Where it lands and what it connects to
Surface-mount to an 8-uMAX/uSOP footprint — the 0.65 mm pitch and 3.00 mm body width fit a standard MSOP-8 land pattern. The smart-card application context means the amplifier handles the analog front-end (card presence detect, signal buffering) while the comparator provides the threshold trip for card insertion or data-edge detection.
