Product details
Overview
MAX4039EUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier with integrated 1.232V buffered voltage reference, operating from +1.8V to +3.6V supply and consuming only 5.3µA total supply current (typ) at +3.6V. It features ultra-low input bias current (±100pA max over temperature), 25mV rail-to-rail output swing into 5kΩ, and ±8mV input offset voltage. It is designed for precision low-power sensor signal conditioning in battery-powered potentiostats and pH meters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4039EUB+T datasheet, MAX4039EUB+T pinout, MAX4039EUB+T application, or MAX4039EUB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific terminal mapping, real-world use-value analysis for electrochemical sensing, and validated alternative options for dual-channel micropower op-amp + reference integration.
Technical Context
The MAX4039EUB+T integrates two independent op amps and a buffered 1.232V reference on a single BiCMOS die. Its rail-to-rail output stage drives 5kΩ loads to within 25mV of VDD/VSS while maintaining unity-gain stability up to 5000pF capacitive load - no external compensation required. Input common-mode range extends to VSS and up to VDD − 0.4V at 1.8V supply.
Reference performance is specified across temperature: ±120ppm/°C max TCVREF (for EUB variant), 0.6%/V line regulation, and 0.015%/µA load regulation (sinking). The reference requires no bypass capacitor and supports sourcing up to 100µA and sinking up to 20µA - enabling direct interface with ADC references or transducer bias networks.

Pinout & Package
The MAX4039EUB+T is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), RoHS-compliant, with exposed paddle connected to VSS. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top-side marking is blank per ordering table.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - rail-to-rail capable; connects directly to ADC input or feedback network in potentiostat loop. |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input of Amplifier A - high-impedance node for current-to-voltage conversion in three-electrode cells. |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - used for reference biasing or sensor excitation in differential configurations. |
| 4 | N.C. | No connection - not internally bonded; must be left floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines. |
| 5 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - independent channel for auxiliary functions (e.g., battery voltage monitoring or REF buffer). |
| 6 | INB− | Inverting input of Amplifier B - supports dual-sensor readout or active filtering of reference noise. |
| 7 | INB+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier B - can accept VREF for comparator hysteresis or bias generation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower op-amp + reference applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2050CMS8#PBF | Dual zero-drift op amp (no integrated reference); 1.5µA per amp; 0.5µV/°C offset drift; requires external REF. | Superior DC precision for low-frequency (<1Hz) measurements but lacks integrated REF - adds BOM cost and board area. | Select when ultra-low offset drift dominates over integration and power; avoid if REF integration simplifies design or saves space. |
| AD8603ARZ-REEL7 | Single micropower op amp (600nA); no reference; rail-to-rail I/O; 1.8V–5.5V supply; 50µV max VOS. | Lower power per channel but requires separate REF IC (e.g., ADR3412) and second op amp - increases component count and layout complexity. | Select for single-channel, ultra-low-VOS needs where REF is already available; not suitable as drop-in replacement for dual + REF function. |
Compared with LTC2050CMS8#PBF and AD8603ARZ-REEL7, the MAX4039EUB+T uniquely combines dual amplifiers and a buffered 1.232V reference in one 10-pin µMAX package at 5.3µA total IDD - delivering system-level integration, reduced layout risk, and guaranteed reference-op amp tracking that discrete solutions cannot match.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the MAX4039EUB+T reference can source or sink?
The MAX4039EUB+T reference can source up to 100µA and sink up to 20µA while maintaining ±0.5% accuracy. This capability allows direct driving of ADC reference inputs (e.g., SAR or delta-sigma converters requiring ≤50µA REF current) or biasing of low-current transducers without external buffers - a key advantage confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "REFERENCE" section.
Does the MAX4039EUB+T require an external bypass capacitor on the REF pin?
No, the MAX4039EUB+T reference requires no external bypass capacitor - explicitly stated in the Features list and Applications Information section. This eliminates a common failure point and reduces PCB area, making it ideal for compact, high-reliability designs like handheld pH meters and wearable biosensors where the MAX4039EUB+T serves as both signal conditioner and reference source.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the MAX4039EUB+T at 1.8V supply?
At VDD = +1.8V, the MAX4039EUB+T input common-mode voltage range is VSS to VDD − 0.4V (i.e., 0V to +1.4V), as guaranteed by CMRR testing per the Electrical Characteristics table. This range supports operation with ground-referenced sensors while maintaining >50dB CMRR - critical for rejecting noise in three-electrode potentiostat configurations where the MAX4039EUB+T is commonly deployed.
Can the MAX4039EUB+T be used as a comparator?
Yes, the MAX4039EUB+T can be used as a rail-to-rail I/O comparator, as documented in the Applications Information section. Its low input bias current and rail-to-rail output make it suitable for battery-monitoring circuits with hysteresis (e.g., Figure 4), though external positive feedback is recommended to prevent oscillation. The MAX4039EUB+T's 4kHz GBW limits use to low-speed threshold detection - not high-frequency signal comparison.
What is the temperature coefficient of the reference voltage in the MAX4039EUB+T?
The MAX4039EUB+T has a reference voltage temperature coefficient (TCVREF) of ±120ppm/°C maximum, as specified for the EUB package variant in the Electrical Characteristics table (Note: MAX4039EBL-T is ±200ppm/°C). This tight spec ensures <0.1% reference drift over −40°C to +85°C, supporting high-accuracy ratiometric measurements in field-deployed pH and gas sensors where the MAX4039EUB+T provides both signal gain and stable excitation.
