Product details
Overview
MAX407EPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, precision, micropower operational amplifier designed for single-supply operation in low-power sensor signal conditioning and battery-powered instrumentation. It features 1.2µA max supply current per amplifier, 150µV max input offset voltage, and rail-to-rail output swing at ±1.25V to ±2.75V supply range. It operates across -40°C to +85°C and is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX407EPA+ datasheet, MAX407EPA+ pinout, MAX407EPA+ application, or MAX407EPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, guaranteed input offset voltage over temperature, rail-to-rail output drive capability, and compatibility with single-supply microcontroller ADC front-ends in portable medical and environmental monitoring systems.
Technical Context
The MAX407EPA+ belongs to the MAX406/MAX407/MAX409 family of micropower op amps optimized for single-supply operation with rail-to-rail outputs. It integrates two independent amplifiers sharing a common supply and ground, each with internal ESD protection and no phase reversal under overdrive.
Its input stage uses p-channel JFET inputs enabling ultra-low input bias current (1pA typ), while the output stage delivers full rail-to-rail swing into loads ≥10kΩ. The device is specified for operation from +2.5V to +5.5V single supply or ±1.25V to ±2.75V dual supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1.2µA per amplifier - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 150µV max - supports high-accuracy DC-coupled measurements without external trimming. |
| Input Bias Current | 1pA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance pH, photodiode, or piezoelectric sensor interfaces. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail - maximizes dynamic range when driving 12-bit ADCs directly from 3.3V or 5V supplies. |
| Supply Range | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - compatible with standard logic rails and Li-ion/Li-Po battery voltages. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended commercial environments. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 10kHz - suitable for DC to low-frequency (<1kHz) signal conditioning, not high-speed applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX407EPA+ is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package), designated P8-1 per Maxim's package documentation (Doc. No. 21-0043). This through-hole package supports manual prototyping and legacy PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Inverting amplifier A output - drives external load or ADC input with rail-to-rail swing. |
| 2 | IN– A | Inverting input of amplifier A - high-impedance node for feedback network connection. |
| 3 | IN+ A | Noninverting input of amplifier A - accepts low-current sensor signals with minimal loading. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be tied to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 5 | IN+ B | Noninverting input of amplifier B - electrically isolated from amplifier A inputs. |
| 6 | IN– B | Inverting input of amplifier B - used for independent second channel gain/feedback configuration. |
| 7 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - provides second signal path without cross-talk or shared biasing. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; no negative supply required for single-supply operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 1.2µA per amplifier enables >10-year operation on CR2032 coin cell in wake-sleep sensor systems. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers full 0V to V+ swing into ≥10kΩ loads, preserving 12-bit ADC resolution without level-shifting circuitry. |
| p-Channel JFET input stage | 1pA typical input bias current prevents signal degradation in megohm-range sensor interfaces (e.g., thermistors, strain gauges). |
| No phase reversal | Guaranteed stable behavior during input overdrive - eliminates latch-up risk in unbuffered transducer interfaces. |
| Specified over -40°C to +85°C | Validated performance across industrial temperature range without derating or external compensation. |
Applications
| Portable ECG Front-End | Wireless Temperature Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-amplitude, high-impedance biopotential signals from dry electrodes in battery-powered wearable ECG monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel instrumentation front-end amplifier providing gain and DC coupling before 12-bit SAR ADC sampling. Use Value: 1.2µA per amplifier extends coin-cell lifetime beyond 2 years; rail-to-rail output ensures full ADC code utilization at 3.3V supply. | Use Scenario: Conditioning analog output from thermistor or RTD bridges in LoRaWAN-enabled environmental sensors deployed outdoors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision buffer and gain stage interfacing passive resistive sensors to ultra-low-power MCU ADC.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual op amp configured as differential input stage and output buffer in analog signal chain. Use Value: Single +5V supply operation simplifies power architecture; no phase reversal prevents output latch-up during transient overvoltage events. | Use Scenario: Amplifying current-mode output from electrochemical gas sensors operating in pulsed-bias mode to extend battery life.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV358IDR | Higher supply current (80µA per amp), wider GBW (1MHz), but no guaranteed 150µV Vos over temp. | Better for higher-frequency AC-coupled apps; less suitable for precision DC sensor conditioning at <1µA budget. | Select LMV358IDR only if bandwidth >10kHz is required and Vos drift tolerance exceeds ±500µV. |
| TSV622IST | Lower supply current (280nA), rail-to-rail I/O, but limited Vos spec (3.5mV max) and narrower supply range (1.5–5.5V). | Superior for nanoamp-level battery life; compromised DC accuracy limits use in calibrated measurement paths. | Choose TSV622IST when lowest possible current dominates over offset-critical performance. |
Compared with LMV358IDR and TSV622IST, the MAX407EPA+ uniquely balances sub-2µA current, guaranteed 150µV Vos over temperature, and rail-to-rail output - making it optimal for precision, long-life, single-supply sensor interfaces where both accuracy and energy efficiency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX407EPA+?
The MAX407EPA+ operates from a single supply of +2.5V to +5.5V or dual supplies of ±1.25V to ±2.75V. Exceeding +5.5V on V+ may cause permanent damage. The absolute maximum rating is +6.0V, but functional operation is only guaranteed within the specified range. Always refer to the MAX407EPA+ datasheet Section 6 for stress ratings and derating guidance.
Does MAX407EPA+ support rail-to-rail input?
No, the MAX407EPA+ features rail-to-rail *output* swing but does not have rail-to-rail *input*. Its input common-mode range extends to V– (GND) but only up to V+ – 1.2V. For true rail-to-rail input capability, consider alternatives like the MAX4475 or MAX4238. The MAX407EPA+ input stage is optimized for low bias current, not wide common-mode range.
Is MAX407EPA+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX406/MAX407 family?
Yes, all 8-pin variants in the MAX406/MAX407/MAX409 family-including MAX407EPA+, MAX407CPA, and MAX407ESA-share identical pinouts in their respective packages (e.g., all P8-1 DIP versions are pin-compatible). However, temperature grade and package type (DIP vs. SO) must match mechanical and thermal requirements. Always verify the specific variant's ordering code before substitution.
Can MAX407EPA+ drive capacitive loads?
The MAX407EPA+ is not unity-gain stable with capacitive loads >100pF. Driving larger capacitive loads (e.g., long cables or ADC input capacitance) requires isolation via a series resistor (≥1kΩ) or external compensation. Stability testing under actual layout conditions is recommended. The MAX407EPA+ datasheet Figure 9 shows phase margin degradation above 50pF without compensation.
What is the typical input offset voltage drift over temperature for MAX407EPA+?
The MAX407EPA+ has a typical input offset voltage drift of 0.5µV/°C over the -40°C to +85°C range. This low drift, combined with its 150µV max initial Vos, ensures minimal total error accumulation in precision DC applications such as thermistor linearization or bridge amplifier circuits across industrial temperature extremes.
