Product details
Overview
The MAX4040EUA-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, micropower, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power, low-voltage portable systems. It operates from +2.4V to +5.5V single supply, draws only 10µA quiescent current, delivers 90kHz gain-bandwidth, and swings within 10mV of both rails with 100kΩ load - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor interfaces and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4040EUA-T datasheet, MAX4040EUA-T pinout, MAX4040EUA-T application, or MAX4040EUA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, 200µV input offset voltage, rail-to-rail common-mode range (VEE to VCC), unity-gain stability with up to 200pF capacitive loads, and SOT23-5 footprint compatibility for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4040EUA-T employs a dual-input-stage architecture combining NPN and PNP differential pairs to achieve true rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending from VEE to VCC. Its output stage uses complementary MOSFETs to deliver rail-to-rail swing while maintaining linearity across temperature and supply voltage variations.
This op amp features no phase reversal under overdriven inputs, supports single-supply operation down to +2.4V, and exhibits high open-loop gain (94dB typical) and CMRR (85dB typical), making it suitable for precision DC-coupled amplification where input bias current (±2nA typ) and offset drift (2µV/°C) must be tightly controlled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.4V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct connection to Li-ion, alkaline, or coin-cell batteries without regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 10µA per amplifier - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and wearable devices. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 90kHz - sufficient for low-frequency sensor signal conditioning (e.g., strain gauges, thermistors) without instability. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±200µV max - ensures <0.5% error in 100mV full-scale measurements without trimming. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 10mV of VEE/VCC at 100kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage ADC front-ends. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE to VCC - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to ground or supply rails. |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with ≤200pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors in most PCB trace and filter capacitor scenarios. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4040EUA-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body, and exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or notch orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier output | High-impedance during power-up until 200µs settling; sinks/sourses current to drive 25kΩ load within 60mV of rails. |
| 2 (IN–) | Inverting input | Differential input node with 45MΩ input resistance below 1.8V differential; protected by 2.2kΩ series resistors and diode clamps. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Matches IN– impedance; polarity-sensitive bias current requires matched source impedances to minimize offset error. |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative supply | Tied to GND in single-supply mode; establishes lower rail reference for rail-to-rail input/output operation. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts +2.4V to +5.5V; PSRR of 85dB allows direct battery connection without LDO filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous output states when inputs exceed common-mode range - critical for comparator-mode use. |
| Unity-gain stable to 200pF | Eliminates external compensation components in RC filters, ADC input buffers, and long-trace interconnects. |
| 200µV input offset voltage | Reduces calibration burden in precision current-sense and bridge-amplifier applications (e.g., digital scales). |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Enables direct interface to sensors with outputs spanning ground to supply - no level-shifting circuitry required. |
| Low input bias current (±2nA) | Minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sources like pH electrodes or piezoelectric transducers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV8511IDBVR | Lower 500nA supply current but 5.5kHz GBW; 1.8V min supply; SOIC-5/SOT23-5 pinout differs (VCC/OUT swapped). | Better for ultra-long-life, sub-kHz applications; unsuitable for 90kHz signal paths or existing MAX4040 layouts. | Select TLV8511IDBVR only if bandwidth demand <10kHz and layout can accommodate pinout change. |
| LPV811MG/NOPB | Same 10µA ICC and 90kHz GBW; 1.6V min supply; identical SOT23-5 pinout; higher 350µV VOS (max). | Compatible drop-in replacement for cost-sensitive designs where ±350µV offset is acceptable. | LPV811MG/NOPB offers same footprint and power profile with broader supply range but relaxed offset spec. |
Compared with MAX4040EUA-T, TLV8511IDBVR trades bandwidth for lower current and different pinout, while LPV811MG/NOPB matches key specs and pinout but has higher offset - making it the preferred functional alternative for layout-compatible upgrades.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range guaranteed for the MAX4040EUA-T?
The MAX4040EUA-T is fully specified and guaranteed over the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. All electrical parameters - including input offset voltage, supply current, gain-bandwidth product, and output swing - are tested and warranted across this range per the datasheet's TA = TMIN to TMAX conditions.
Does the MAX4040EUA-T support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4040EUA-T supports dual-supply operation from ±1.2V to ±2.75V. When used in dual-supply mode, VEE becomes the negative rail (e.g., -1.2V) and VCC the positive rail (e.g., +1.2V), preserving rail-to-rail input and output functionality. The device maintains 10µA supply current per amplifier and 90kHz GBW under these conditions.
Can the MAX4040EUA-T be used as a comparator?
Yes, the MAX4040EUA-T can be used as a rail-to-rail input/output comparator. Though optimized as an op amp, its lack of phase reversal and fast power-up time (200µs) make it viable for low-speed, low-power comparison tasks. Propagation delay depends on overdrive voltage - e.g., ~50µs at 100mV overdrive with +5V supply - and external hysteresis is recommended to prevent oscillation.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4040EUA-T can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4040EUA-T is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 200pF when driving a resistive load ≥100kΩ. For heavier capacitive loads (e.g., >200pF), an isolation resistor (RISO) between the output and load is required to maintain stability, though this introduces gain error due to voltage division with the load resistor.
Is the MAX4040EUA-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX4040–MAX4044 family?
No - the MAX4040EUA-T (SOT23-5, single op amp) is not pin-compatible with MAX4041 (8-pin µMAX/SO, shutdown-enabled), MAX4042 (8-pin, dual), or MAX4044 (14-pin, quad). Only the MAX4040 variants (EUA-T, ESK-T, ESA) share the same 5-pin SOT23 pinout; all others have different pin counts, functions (e.g., SHDN), and package footprints.
