Product details
Overview
MAX40088AUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a decompensated, gain-of-5 stable, low-noise operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity signal conditioning in precision analog systems. It delivers 42MHz gain-bandwidth product, 10V/µs slew rate, ultra-low input voltage-noise density (4.2nV/√Hz at 30kHz), <1pA typical input bias current, and rail-to-rail output swing - enabling high-speed, low-distortion buffering in 16-bit DAC outputs and transimpedance amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX40088AUT+T datasheet, MAX40088AUT+T pinout, MAX40088AUT+T application, or MAX40088AUT+T equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated SOT23-6 pin mapping, real-world use cases in medical instrumentation and sensor interfaces, and two confirmed alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX40088AUT+T is a BiCMOS decompensated op amp requiring minimum closed-loop gain of 5V/V for stability, achieving 42MHz GBW and 80° phase margin. Its input stage features ultra-low input bias current (<1pA typ) and dual noise optimization: 4.2nV/√Hz voltage noise at 30kHz and 0.5fA/√Hz current noise - critical for high-impedance photodiode and strain gauge interfaces.
It supports single-supply operation from +2.7V to +5.5V with input common-mode range extending to ground and rail-to-rail output swing within 30mV of supplies into 1kΩ. Shutdown mode reduces supply current to ≤1.7µA while placing output in high-impedance state - essential for power-constrained portable instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 42MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation at ≥5V/V gain with sufficient loop gain for precision filtering and anti-aliasing. |
| Slew Rate | 10V/µs - supports fast settling (2µs to 0.01%) for 2V step signals in high-resolution DAC buffer applications. |
| Input Voltage-Noise Density | 4.2nV/√Hz at 30kHz - ensures minimal added noise in audio and medical front-end amplification where SNR >110dB is required. |
| Input Bias Current | <1pA (typ) - preserves accuracy in high-Z sensor interfaces (e.g., piezoelectric transducers, pH electrodes) without significant offset drift. |
| THD+N | -110dB (20kHz, 1kΩ load) - meets distortion requirements for 16-bit data converters operating up to Nyquist frequency. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - compatible with Li-ion battery-powered systems and industrial 3.3V/5V rails without level-shifting. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤1.7µA - allows microamp-level power gating in duty-cycled sensor nodes without external switches. |
Pinout & Package
MAX40088AUT+T is packaged in a 6-pin SOT23 (Package Code U6+1A, Outline 21-0058) with exposed pad thermal performance optimized for PCB heat dissipation on four-layer boards (θJA = 115°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VSS) | Negative supply / ground reference | Must be connected to system ground; supports single-supply operation and defines input common-mode lower bound (to −0.1V). |
| 2 (IN+) | Non-inverting input | High-impedance node (1000GΩ) for precision voltage sensing; accepts DC-coupled inputs down to ground. |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable (within 30mV of VSS/VDD into 1kΩ); drives capacitive loads up to 200pF without oscillation. |
| 4 (IN−) | Inverting input | 10pF input capacitance requires feed-forward compensation (CZ) when feedback resistance exceeds 5kΩ to maintain phase margin. |
| 5 (SHDN) | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled high to VDD for normal operation; sinking ≤1µA when asserted low places output in high-Z state and cuts supply current to ≤1.7µA. |
| 6 (VDD) | Positive supply | Requires local 0.1µF ceramic + 4.7µF bulk decoupling; supports operation up to +5.5V with 90dB PSRR (DC). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gain-of-5 stability | Enables 42MHz bandwidth with higher loop gain than unity-gain op amps - improving AC accuracy and reducing gain error at high frequencies. |
| Ultra-low 1/f voltage noise | 1.7µVP-P (0.1Hz–10Hz) - minimizes baseline wander in ECG and EEG amplifiers where DC stability and low-frequency fidelity are critical. |
| EMI rejection ratio | 55dB (900MHz–2.4GHz) - suppresses RF interference from cellular/WiFi sources in automotive and portable medical devices. |
| Rail-to-rail output with 20mA drive | Delivers ±20mA source/sink current while maintaining DC accuracy - eliminates need for external output buffers in driving ADC reference drivers or active filters. |

Applications
| ADC Buffers | DAC Output Amplifiers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1612AIDR | Unity-gain stable (1.2MHz GBW), lower voltage noise (1.1nV/√Hz), but 10× higher input bias current (±10pA). | Better for ultra-low-noise audio; unsuitable for high-Z sensor interfaces requiring sub-pA bias. | Select OPA1612AIDR only when voltage noise dominates and gain ≥1 is acceptable; avoid for transimpedance or piezo applications. |
| ADA4898-1ARZ | Unity-gain stable (65MHz GBW), higher slew rate (85V/µs), but higher supply current (10mA) and no shutdown mode. | Preferred for high-speed oscilloscope front-ends; not viable for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. | Choose ADA4898-1ARZ when speed and drive strength outweigh power and integration needs; MAX40088AUT+T remains optimal for portable, low-power precision systems. |
Compared with OPA1612AIDR and ADA4898-1ARZ, the MAX40088AUT+T uniquely balances 42MHz bandwidth, sub-pA bias, integrated shutdown, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it the only option among the three suitable for automotive-grade, battery-operated, high-impedance sensor signal chains requiring both speed and ultra-low leakage.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for MAX40088AUT+T?
The MAX40088AUT+T is gain-of-5 stable, meaning it requires a minimum closed-loop gain of 5V/V (non-inverting) or −5V/V (inverting) for unconditional stability. Attempting unity-gain configurations will cause peaking or oscillation. This decompensation enables its 42MHz gain-bandwidth product and 10V/µs slew rate - key differentiators versus unity-gain alternatives like the MAX40075AUT+T.
Does MAX40088AUT+T support true rail-to-rail input operation?
No - the MAX40088AUT+T features rail-to-rail *output* swing but has an input common-mode voltage range from −0.1V to (VDD − 1.5V). While it includes ground in its input range (enabling low-side current sensing), it cannot accept inputs at the positive rail. This design trades input rail-to-rail capability for ultra-low input bias current and noise performance.
How does the shutdown mode affect the output state of MAX40088AUT+T?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MAX40088AUT+T disables its internal circuitry and places the output terminal in a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state - effectively disconnecting it from the load. This prevents loading of downstream circuits during sleep modes. Supply current drops to ≤1.7µA, and the amplifier resumes normal operation within 13µs after SHDN returns high.
Is MAX40088AUT+T suitable for driving 50Ω transmission lines?
No - the MAX40088AUT+T is not designed for 50Ω line driving. Its output stage delivers ±20mA into resistive loads but lacks the current drive and bandwidth headroom needed for clean 50Ω termination. For such applications, dedicated high-speed line drivers (e.g., THS3201) are recommended. The MAX40088AUT+T excels instead at driving 1kΩ+ loads, ADC inputs, and capacitive sensor interfaces.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable operation of MAX40088AUT+T?
The MAX40088AUT+T requires a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to the VDD pin, plus a 4.7µF bulk capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) at the board-level power entry point. This dual-stage decoupling suppresses high-frequency noise and transient supply droop. Failure to implement both capacitors may degrade PSRR, increase THD+N, and induce instability under dynamic load conditions.
