Product details
Overview
MAX406AESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single, rail-to-rail input/output, micropower operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation at +2.7V to +16V. It delivers 1.2µA max supply current, 150kHz gain-bandwidth product, and 1mV max input offset voltage over -40°C to +85°C, enabling precision sensing in battery-powered industrial monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX406AESA+T datasheet, MAX406AESA+T pinout, MAX406AESA+T application, or MAX406AESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, rail-to-rail I/O swing, guaranteed performance across extended temperature, and SO-8 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The MAX406AESA+T uses a CMOS input stage to achieve picoampere-level input bias current (1pA typ) and high input impedance (>1012Ω), supporting high-impedance sensor interfacing. Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability without external components.
Designed for single-supply use, it features rail-to-rail input common-mode range (including VEE) and rail-to-rail output swing (within 10mV of rails at 10kΩ load), enabling full dynamic range utilization in low-voltage data acquisition front-ends.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV321IDBVR | Higher 65µA supply current; 1MHz GBW; only rail-to-rail output (not input) | Better suited for higher-speed sensor interfaces where power budget allows >50× increase | Select when bandwidth >100kHz is required and battery life is secondary to response time |
| TSV611ILT | Lower 120nA supply current but 13kHz GBW; rail-to-rail I/O; 2.5mV offset max | Ideal for ultra-low-power, sub-10kHz applications like slow-moving thermocouple amplification | Select when quiescent current is critical and signal bandwidth is <20kHz |
Compared with LMV321IDBVR and TSV611ILT, the MAX406AESA+T uniquely balances sub-2µA power, 150kHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail I/O, and 1mV offset-making it optimal for precision, battery-constrained industrial sensing where all four parameters are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX406AESA+T?
The MAX406AESA+T operates with a maximum supply voltage of +16V. This allows direct interface with common industrial 12V rails and legacy battery systems without external regulators. Exceeding +16V risks permanent damage. The device is fully specified from +2.7V to +16V, and all parameters-including input offset and GBW-are guaranteed across this full range for the MAX406AESA+T.
Does MAX406AESA+T support rail-to-rail input?
Yes, the MAX406AESA+T supports true rail-to-rail input operation, meaning its input common-mode voltage range extends from VEE (GND) to VCC. This enables accurate amplification of signals near ground or near the positive rail in single-supply systems. This feature is explicitly characterized and guaranteed in the MAX406AESA+T datasheet across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
What is the input offset voltage specification for MAX406AESA+T?
The MAX406AESA+T has a maximum input offset voltage of 1mV at +25°C, with no additional drift specification beyond the guaranteed operating temperature range. This value is tested and binned during production, ensuring consistent low-error performance in precision DC-coupled applications such as RTD and thermistor signal chains where calibration overhead must be minimized.
Is MAX406AESA+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX406 family?
Yes, the MAX406AESA+T shares identical pinout and footprint with all 8-pin SO variants in the MAX406 family, including MAX406BCSA, MAX406C/D (SO), and MAX406ESA. All share the same S8-2 package outline, allowing drop-in replacement within the same temperature grade and performance grade (A-grade vs B-grade) without PCB modification.
What is the typical input bias current of MAX406AESA+T?
The typical input bias current of MAX406AESA+T is 1pA at +25°C, with a maximum of 10pA over the full -40°C to +85°C range. This ultra-low value results from its CMOS input stage and makes the MAX406AESA+T especially suitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces such as photodiodes, pH electrodes, and piezoelectric elements where leakage current would otherwise dominate signal accuracy.
