Product details
Overview
MAX4040EUA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, micropower, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for battery-powered systems. It operates from +2.4V to +5.5V single supply, consumes only 10µA supply current, delivers 90kHz gain-bandwidth product, and achieves output swing within 10mV of rails with 100kΩ load - enabling precision signal conditioning in portable medical sensors and low-voltage data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4040EUA+T datasheet, MAX4040EUA+T pinout, MAX4040EUA+T application, or MAX4040EUA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, guaranteed rail-to-rail I/O performance over –40°C to +85°C, input offset voltage ≤±2.5mV, and compatibility with capacitive loads up to 200pF without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MAX4040EUA+T employs a dual-input-stage architecture combining NPN and PNP differential pairs to achieve true rail-to-rail common-mode input range (VEE to VCC), with crossover at mid-supply. Its output stage uses complementary MOSFETs to deliver rail-to-rail swing while maintaining linearity up to ±200mV from rails under 25kΩ load.
It features no phase reversal on overdriven inputs, unity-gain stability with up to 200pF capacitive load, and high open-loop gain (94dB typ) - making it suitable for precision DC-coupled amplification and low-speed sensor buffering where power and headroom are constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.4V to +5.5V single supply - supports direct connection to Li-ion, alkaline, or coin-cell batteries without regulation. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 10µA typ - enables multi-year operation in always-on wearable sensors or IoT endpoint nodes. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 90kHz - sufficient for DC–10kHz sensor signals (e.g., strain gauges, thermistors) with stable unity-gain configuration. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±2.5mV max (–40°C to +85°C) - ensures <0.1% error in 12-bit ADC front-ends with 2.5V reference. |
| Output Swing (100kΩ) | Within 10mV of VEE and VCC - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems with limited headroom. |
| Input Bias Current | ±20nA max (–40°C to +85°C) - allows use with high-impedance sources (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoresistive sensors) without significant offset drift. |
| CMRR | 65dB min - rejects common-mode noise from shared ground paths in compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4040EUA+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 = VEE (ground for single supply), Pin 2 = IN−, Pin 3 = OUT, Pin 4 = IN+, Pin 5 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VEE) | Negative supply terminal | Tie directly to system ground in single-supply operation; enables rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to 0V. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Accepts feedback network; input protection includes 2.2kΩ series resistors and back-to-back diode clamps. |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Drives loads up to 25kΩ; high-impedance state not supported (no shutdown pin on MAX4040). |
| 4 (IN+) | Noninverting input | High-impedance node (3pF typical capacitance); match source impedances to minimize bias-current-induced offset. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply terminal | Accepts +2.4V to +5.5V; requires 100nF bypass capacitor to VEE for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | VEE to VCC enables full utilization of supply voltage for sensor signal range - critical for low-voltage bridge amplifiers. |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous output transitions when input exceeds rails - essential for robust comparator-mode use. |
| Unity-gain stable with 200pF load | Eliminates need for external isolation resistor in PCB trace or cable-driven applications (e.g., remote sensor nodes). |
| 200µV typical input offset voltage | Reduces calibration burden in precision instrumentation; drift ≤2µV/°C minimizes temperature-induced errors. |
| Low input capacitance (3pF) | Minimizes phase shift and peaking with high-source-impedance sensors - improves stability in pH or photodiode interfaces. |
Applications

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 supply current (420nA), but only 12kHz GBW and 10mV output swing limitation at 10kΩ load. | Suitable for ultra-long-life applications with bandwidth <1kHz; insufficient for strain gauge AC excitation. | Select TLV8511IDBVR only when sub-µA current dominates over bandwidth and drive strength requirements. |
| OPA316IDBVR | Higher supply current (400µA), 10MHz GBW, and 25mA output drive - trades power for speed and load capability. | Required for active filters or driving ADC drivers; overkill for static sensor buffering. | Choose OPA316IDBVR when >100kHz signal bandwidth or heavy capacitive loads (>1nF) are present. |
Compared with TLV8511IDBVR and OPA316IDBVR, the MAX4040EUA+T uniquely balances 10µA quiescent current, 90kHz bandwidth, and rail-to-rail I/O in a 5-pin SOT23 - making it optimal for precision, battery-constrained DC signal chains where neither nanoamp nor megahertz extremes apply.

FAQ
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, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Load Resistor vs. Capacitive Load graph. For loads exceeding 200pF, an isolation resistor (e.g., 1kΩ) between the MAX4040EUA+T output and the load is required to maintain stability - though this introduces gain error due to voltage division with the load resistance.
Does the MAX4040EUA+T have a shutdown pin?
No, the MAX4040EUA+T does not include a shutdown pin. Shutdown functionality is only available on the MAX4041 and MAX4043 variants in the same family. The MAX4040EUA+T operates continuously when powered and draws 10µA per amplifier regardless of signal activity - making it appropriate for always-on sensing but not for duty-cycled ultra-low-power systems.
What is the output voltage swing specification for the MAX4040EUA+T at 2.4V supply?
At VCC = +2.4V and RL = 100kΩ, the MAX4040EUA+T output typically swings from (VEE + 10mV) to (VCC – 10mV), i.e., 0.01V to 2.39V. This is verified in the Typical Operating Characteristics section (Figure 3) and Electrical Characteristics table (VOH/VOL specifications), ensuring usable dynamic range even at minimum supply voltage.
Can the MAX4040EUA+T be used as a comparator?
Yes, the MAX4040EUA+T can be used as a rail-to-rail input/output comparator, as explicitly stated in the Applications Information section. Propagation delay depends on overdrive voltage (e.g., ~20µs for 100mV overdrive at +5V supply). External hysteresis is recommended to prevent oscillation near threshold; however, quiescent current rises to ~28–35µA during saturation, slightly above the 10µA nominal spec.
Is the MAX4040EUA+T pin-compatible with other packages in the MAX4040 family?
The MAX4040EUA+T uses the 5-pin SOT23-5 package, while other MAX4040 variants (e.g., MAX4040ESA, MAX4040EUK-T) use 8-pin µMAX or SO packages with different pinouts and additional terminals (e.g., NC pins). Therefore, the MAX4040EUA+T is not pin-compatible with those variants - PCB layout must be specific to the SOT23-5 footprint shown in the Pin Configurations diagram.
