Product details
Overview
MAX4074AOEUK from Maxim Integrated is a micropower, fixed-gain, rail-to-rail operational amplifier in SOT23-5 package, featuring factory-trimmed internal resistors for 0.1% gain accuracy, ±17V input fault protection, 34µA supply current, and operation from +2.5V to +5.5V single supply. It serves as a precision signal-conditioning amplifier in low-side current-sense and photodiode preamplifier circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4074AOEUK datasheet, MAX4074AOEUK pinout, MAX4074AOEUK application, or MAX4074AOEUK equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed 0.1% gain accuracy at AV = +1.25V/V, rail-to-rail output swing into 1kΩ, ±17V input fault tolerance, and SOT23-5 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4074AOEUK implements a decompensated op-amp core with laser-trimmed on-chip RF/RG resistor network, enabling fixed noninverting gain of +1.25V/V with guaranteed 0.1% accuracy. Its compensation is optimized specifically for this gain setting, delivering 136kHz −3dB bandwidth and stable operation without external components.
Input stage includes back-to-back SCR structures and diode clamps at both IN+ and IN− pins, limiting fault current to <3.5mA under ±17V overvoltage while preventing phase reversal. The VEE pin is grounded in single-supply operation, and the N.C. pin (Pin 5) is unconnected internally.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed Gain | +1.25V/V noninverting, factory-trimmed RF/RG ratio with 0.1% accuracy - eliminates external resistor matching and layout sensitivity |
| Supply Voltage | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V battery-powered systems |
| Supply Current | 34µA typical at VCC = 3V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered instrumentation |
| Input Fault Protection | ±17V at IN+ or IN− relative to VEE - protects against transient overvoltage in automotive and industrial sensor interfaces |
| −3dB Bandwidth | 136kHz at AV = +1.25V/V - sufficient for DC-coupled current sensing and low-frequency photodiode amplification |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail into 1kΩ load - delivers full dynamic range across supply rails without headroom loss |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.2mV typical - ensures sub-millivolt error in precision low-side current measurement |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, 0.95mm pitch, JEDEC MO-178AA compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Amplifier output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage with ≤25mV saturation near rails into 1kΩ; no isolation resistor needed for ≤100pF capacitive loads |
| 2: VEE | Negative supply / ground reference | Connected to system ground in single-supply operation; supports dual-supply down to ±1.25V |
| 3: IN+ | Noninverting input | High-impedance node (1000MΩ) with 5kΩ series current-limiting resistor for ±17V fault protection |
| 4: IN− | Inverting input | Connected to internal RG resistor; voltage range limited by core op-amp input common-mode limits (−0.15V to VCC −1.2V) |
| 5: N.C. | No connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating - not tied to VCC, VEE, or any other node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal gain-setting resistors | Laser-trimmed on-die RF/RG network provides 0.1% gain accuracy without external components or PCB area |
| Rail-to-rail output drive | Swings within 25mV of VCC and VEE into 1kΩ load - preserves full signal range in low-voltage systems |
| ±17V input fault protection | SCR + diode clamp structure limits input fault current to <3.5mA and prevents output phase reversal during overvoltage events |
| Capacitive-load stability | Stable with up to 100pF directly at output - eliminates need for isolation resistors in most sensor interface layouts |
| Micropower operation | 34µA supply current enables use in always-on, battery-backed monitoring nodes with >10-year lifetime |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-gain amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4074BOEUK | Gain = +1.5V/V (vs. +1.25V/V); same package, specs, and fault protection | Requires recalibration if used in existing +1.25V/V gain path; suitable where higher gain improves SNR | Select when system gain budget allows +1.5V/V and top-mark "AB" matches board silkscreen |
| MAX4074COEUK | Gain = +2.25V/V; identical SOT23-5 footprint and electrical specs except bandwidth (70kHz) | Lower bandwidth reduces slew-induced distortion in fast-pulse applications but increases gain error margin | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 70kHz bandwidth suffices and top-mark "AE" is acceptable |
Compared with MAX4074BOEUK and MAX4074COEUK, the MAX4074AOEUK offers the lowest gain (+1.25V/V) and highest bandwidth (136kHz) in the SOT23-5 fixed-gain family, making it optimal for high-fidelity, low-error current sensing where minimal gain-induced offset multiplication is critical.

FAQ
What is the exact gain configuration of the MAX4074AOEUK?
The MAX4074AOEUK is configured for noninverting fixed gain of +1.25V/V, as indicated by the "A" in the part number suffix and confirmed in the Gain Selector Guide (top mark "ADJB"). This gain is achieved via laser-trimmed internal RF/RG resistors with 0.1% accuracy and is not user-adjustable.
Does the MAX4074AOEUK require external compensation components?
No, the MAX4074AOEUK does not require external compensation components. Its internal decompensation is factory-optimized for +1.25V/V gain, ensuring unity-gain stability and 136kHz −3dB bandwidth without added capacitors or resistors.
Can the MAX4074AOEUK operate from a 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX4074AOEUK operates from +2.5V to +5.5V single supply, fully supporting 3.3V nominal systems. At VCC = 3.3V, it maintains 34µA supply current, rail-to-rail output swing, and specified gain accuracy and bandwidth.
What is the function of Pin 5 (N.C.) on the MAX4074AOEUK?
Pin 5 of the MAX4074AOEUK is a no-connect terminal - it is not bonded internally and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Tying Pin 5 to VCC, VEE, or any other node may cause unpredictable behavior or damage.
Is the MAX4074AOEUK compatible with standard SOT23-5 footprints?
Yes, the MAX4074AOEUK uses the industry-standard SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 0.95mm lead pitch and 2.9mm × 1.6mm body dimensions, ensuring drop-in compatibility with existing SOT23-5 land patterns and pick-and-place tooling.
