Product details
Overview
The MAX4040EUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, micropower, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power battery-powered systems. It operates from +2.4V to +5.5V single supply, draws only 10µA supply current, delivers 90kHz gain-bandwidth product, and achieves rail-to-rail output swing within 10mV of both rails with 100kΩ load - enabling full utilization of low-voltage supply headroom in precision sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4040EUK-T datasheet, MAX4040EUK-T pinout, MAX4040EUK-T application, or MAX4040EUK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, 200µV input offset voltage, unity-gain stability with up to 200pF capacitive loads, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4040EUK-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 centered at mid-supply. Its output stage is designed as a complementary current source/sink capable of driving 25kΩ loads while maintaining ≤60mV rail margin.
It features no phase reversal under overdriven inputs, supports direct connection to decaying battery supplies via 85dB PSRR, and exhibits stable small-signal transient response without external compensation - validated across temperature and supply voltage extremes per its extended industrial grade specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.4V to +5.5V single supply - enables direct operation from 2-cell alkaline or Li-ion battery stacks without regulation. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 10µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and wearable devices. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 90kHz - sufficient for DC-coupled strain gauge, thermistor, and RTD amplification with adequate phase margin. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±200µV max - ensures <0.5% error in 100mV full-scale sensor outputs without trimming. |
| Output Swing (100kΩ) | Within 10mV of VEE and VCC - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V or lower systems. |
| 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 MAX4040EUK-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 surface-mount package with exposed pad (non-electrical), footprint compatible with JEDEC MO-178AA. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or notch orientation indicator.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier output | High-impedance during power-up; rail-to-rail swing; no phase reversal on overdrive. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Differential pair node; protected by 2.2kΩ series resistors and back-to-back diodes. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Differential pair node; matched impedance critical to minimize bias-current-induced offset. |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative supply | Tied to GND in single-supply mode; defines lower rail for input/output swing and biasing. |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts +2.4V to +5.5V; bypassing with 100nF to VEE required for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O with 10mV rail margin | Enables full use of 2.4V–5.5V supply range in unipolar sensor interfaces without level-shifting. |
| 200µV input offset voltage | Reduces calibration burden in millivolt-level transducer applications such as load cells and thermopiles. |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous output states when input exceeds common-mode range - critical in comparator-mode use. |
| Unity-gain stable to 200pF | Supports direct connection to ADC input filters, long traces, or EMI suppression caps without destabilization. |
| 85dB power-supply rejection | Allows direct battery supply connection without LDO, simplifying BOM and extending runtime in energy-harvesting systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Higher 100µA supply current; 1MHz GBW; 7mV max offset; SOT23-5 package | Better speed but 10× higher power draw - unsuitable for multi-year battery life targets | Select only if bandwidth >100kHz is mandatory and power budget allows ≥100µA per channel |
| TSV611ILT | 36µA supply current; 150kHz GBW; 1.5mV max offset; rail-to-rail I/O; SOT23-5 | Lower offset drift but higher current - trades precision for moderate power increase | Prefer when temperature-stable offset (<2µV/°C) is prioritized over sub-10µA operation |
Compared with MCP6001T-E/OT and TSV611ILT, the MAX4040EUK-T uniquely delivers 10µA supply current with 200µV offset and 90kHz GBW in SOT23-5 - making it the only option meeting strict multi-year battery life and sub-millivolt accuracy requirements simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the MAX4040EUK-T?
The MAX4040EUK-T is fully specified and guaranteed over the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. All electrical parameters - including supply current, input offset voltage, gain-bandwidth product, and output swing - are tested and warranted across this full range, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor, automotive cabin, and industrial environments where thermal cycling occurs.
Does the MAX4040EUK-T include a shutdown feature?
No, the MAX4040EUK-T does not include a shutdown pin or function. Shutdown capability is exclusive to the MAX4041 and MAX4043 variants in the same family. The MAX4040EUK-T is a single-amplifier device in SOT23-5 packaging with fixed operation - it draws 10µA continuously when powered and has no enable/disable control line.
Can the MAX4040EUK-T drive a 10kΩ load rail-to-rail?
Yes, the MAX4040EUK-T can drive a 10kΩ load rail-to-rail, though with reduced margin: typical output swing is within 60mV of each rail under 25kΩ load, and remains within ~100mV at 10kΩ per the load-driving capability curves in the datasheet. For applications requiring <20mV rail margin at 10kΩ, verify actual performance under worst-case VCC and temperature conditions.
Is the MAX4040EUK-T unity-gain stable with capacitive loads?
Yes, the MAX4040EUK-T is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 200pF, as explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Operating Characteristics (Load Resistor vs. Capacitive Load graph). No external isolation resistor is needed for PCB traces, ADC input filters, or standard EMI suppression caps within this limit.
What is the input bias current behavior of the MAX4040EUK-T across common-mode voltage?
The MAX4040EUK-T exhibits polarity-reversing input bias current due to its dual NPN/PNP input stage: bias current flows into both inputs near mid-supply but reverses direction as common-mode voltage approaches either rail. At VCM = 0V (VEE), IB ≈ +2nA; at VCM = VCC, IB ≈ –2nA. Matching source impedances at IN+ and IN– minimizes offset error caused by this effect.
