Product details
Overview
MAX414CSD from Maxim Integrated is a quad, precision, low-noise operational amplifier optimized for high-speed, low-voltage systems. It delivers 2.4nV/√Hz input voltage-noise density at 1kHz, 28MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and 4.5V/µs slew rate while consuming only 2.5mA per amplifier from ±2.4V to ±5V supplies. It is used in ultra-low-noise instrumentation amplifiers and bridge signal conditioning circuits requiring stable DC accuracy and wideband fidelity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX414CSD datasheet, MAX414CSD pinout, MAX414CSD application, or MAX414CSD equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed low noise performance across temperature, rail-to-rail output swing into 2kΩ, and SO-14 package compatibility with space-constrained analog front-ends in test equipment and sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX414CSD employs a bipolar input stage optimized for minimum voltage noise without compromising input bias current or power consumption. Its design achieves unity-gain stability while maintaining 115dB minimum open-loop gain and 135dB channel separation at 1kHz - critical for multi-channel precision measurement systems where crosstalk must be minimized.
It operates over ±2.4V to ±5V dual supplies, enabling direct integration into legacy ±5V systems or low-power ±2.4V designs. Input common-mode range extends to within 0.3V of rails, and output swing reaches ±3.6V into 2kΩ, supporting full-scale signal handling in single-supply-derived configurations with appropriate level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage noise density | 2.4nV/√Hz max at 1kHz - enables sub-µV RMS noise in bandwidth-limited instrumentation paths |
| Unity-gain bandwidth | 28MHz - supports accurate amplification of signals up to ~4MHz (0.1% gain error) |
| Slew rate | 4.5V/µs - ensures distortion-free reproduction of 700kHz full-scale sine waves into 2kΩ |
| Supply current per amp | 2.5mA - allows four independent channels in <10mA total analog supply budget |
| Input offset voltage | ±320µV max - supports DC-coupled gain stages with <0.03% initial error at G=100 |
| CMRR | 115dB min - rejects >3M:1 common-mode interference in bridge amplifier topologies |
| PSRR | 96dB min - maintains accuracy despite ±100mV supply ripple at 1kHz |
Pinout & Package
The MAX414CSD is housed in a 14-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard quad op-amp pinout conforming to industry layout conventions. The exposed pad variant is not used in this grade; thermal dissipation is managed via standard PCB copper area under the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9, 13 | Output | Amplifier outputs OUT1–OUT4; capable of ±3.6V swing into 2kΩ load |
| 2, 6, 10, 14 | Inverting input | IN1− through IN4−; differential input resistance 20kΩ, CM input range ±3.5V |
| 3, 7, 11, 12 | Non-inverting input | IN1+ through IN4+; common-mode rejection ratio ≥115dB at ±3.5V |
| 4 | Negative supply | V− connection for dual supply; must be tied to system negative rail (not ground) |
| 14 | Positive supply | V+ connection; accepts ±2.4V to ±5V; PSRR ≥96dB ensures immunity to supply noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise architecture | Bipolar input stage with 2.4nV/√Hz noise floor - avoids trade-off between noise and input bias current typical of JFET op-amps |
| Wide supply flexibility | Operates from ±2.4V to ±5V - supports both low-power portable systems and legacy ±5V industrial backplanes |
| High channel isolation | 135dB channel separation at 1kHz - prevents signal leakage between adjacent amplifiers in multi-sensor DAQ systems |
| Stable capacitive-load driving | Remains stable driving up to 3900pF in unity-gain configuration - eliminates need for external compensation in sensor cable interfaces |
| Guaranteed AC performance | 28MHz GBW and 4.5V/µs slew rate specified over full 0°C to +70°C range - enables consistent dynamic response across operating conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad low-noise op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP482ARZ | Higher 3.5nV/√Hz noise, lower 10MHz GBW, but superior 150µV max offset and rail-to-rail output | Better suited for low-voltage single-supply systems where output headroom is constrained | Select when rail-to-rail output swing is required and noise budget allows >3nV/√Hz |
| LT1499IS#PBF | Lower 1.9nV/√Hz noise, higher 10mA supply current per amp, and 10MHz GBW | Preferred in ultra-low-noise DC-coupled applications where power is secondary to noise floor | Select when absolute lowest voltage noise is critical and supply current >10mA per channel is acceptable |
Compared with OP482ARZ and LT1499IS#PBF, the MAX414CSD offers the best balance of low noise (2.4nV/√Hz), wide bandwidth (28MHz), and moderate quiescent current (2.5mA/amp), making it optimal for battery-powered or thermally constrained wideband instrumentation where both speed and noise matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX414CSD can drive stably in unity-gain configuration?
The MAX414CSD remains stable driving up to 3900pF in unity-gain follower configuration, as verified in the Typical Operating Characteristics section of the datasheet. For loads exceeding this value, an output isolation resistor (e.g., 10Ω) must be added between the amplifier output and the capacitive load to restore phase margin and prevent oscillation. This behavior is consistent across all four amplifiers in the MAX414CSD package.
Does the MAX414CSD support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX414CSD supports single-supply operation with total supply voltages as low as 4.8V. Its input common-mode range extends to within 0.3V of the rails, and output swing reaches within 1.4V of each rail into 2kΩ. For proper DC biasing, the non-inverting inputs must be referenced to a mid-supply voltage - the MAX414CSD itself does not include internal level-shifting circuitry.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for MAX414CSD over its operating temperature range?
The MAX414CSD guarantees a maximum input offset voltage of ±320µV at +25°C and ±450µV over the full 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range. Its offset voltage tempco is ±1µV/°C, meaning worst-case drift across the range contributes ≤70µV - well within the ±450µV limit. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics tables for the "C" grade (0°C to +70°C).
Is the MAX414CSD pin-compatible with other quad op-amps in SO-14 packages?
The MAX414CSD uses the industry-standard quad op-amp pinout for SO-14 packages (pin 1 = OUT1, pin 2 = IN1−, pin 3 = IN1+, etc.), matching devices like the LM324, TL084, and AD8604. However, electrical characteristics - especially noise, bandwidth, and supply current - differ significantly. Direct replacement requires validation of signal chain performance, particularly in noise-sensitive or high-speed applications.
How does the MAX414CSD achieve low noise without using input current-limiting resistors?
The MAX414CSD omits input current-limiting resistors to preserve low voltage-noise performance - a deliberate design choice that differentiates it from many general-purpose op-amps. Instead, it relies on back-to-back clamp diodes for ±0.1V differential input protection. External series resistors must be added if differential inputs exceed ±1.0V, limiting current to <20mA per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table - a requirement explicitly stated in Note 1 of the datasheet for the MAX414CSD.
