Product details
Overview
The MAX4165EUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for high-output-drive precision applications in low-voltage, battery-powered systems. It delivers ±80mA output current, features 5MHz gain-bandwidth product, 250µV typical offset voltage, and operates from +2.7V to +6.5V single supply - enabling use as headphone driver, DAC buffer, or line driver in portable audio devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4165EUK+T datasheet, MAX4165EUK+T pinout, MAX4165EUK+T application, or MAX4165EUK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rail-to-rail I/O swing under 25Ω load, shutdown current of 38µA (at 3V), unity-gain stability with 250pF capacitive loads, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4165EUK+T employs a dual-input-stage architecture (NPN/PNP) to achieve rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 0.25V beyond VEE and VCC. Its output stage uses complementary push-pull circuitry to deliver full-swing performance - sinking 160mV above VEE and sourcing within 430mV of VCC at 25Ω load (VCC = 5V).
It integrates internal protection: 1kΩ series input resistors and back-to-back triple diodes limit differential input fault current. No phase reversal occurs during overdriven inputs, and it maintains ≥65dB PSRR and ≥57dB CMRR across –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +6.5V single supply - supports Li-ion, Li-poly, and dual-cell alkaline battery systems without level-shifting. |
| Output Drive Current | ±80mA min - drives 32Ω headphones directly or 25Ω transformer/line loads without external buffers. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 5MHz - enables stable unity-gain operation with 250pF capacitive loads and supports audio bandwidth up to 200kHz. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1.5mV max (25°C), 4.3mV max (–40°C to +85°C) - ensures low DC error in precision signal conditioning paths. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O Swing | VOL ≤ 25mV (RL = 100kΩ), VOH ≥ VCC – 30mV (RL = 100kΩ); VOL ≤ 350mV, VOH ≥ VCC – 430mV (RL = 25Ω) - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply audio stages. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 1.2mA per amplifier (VCC = 3V) - balances performance and battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 38µA (VCC = 3V) - reduces system standby power by >97% while preserving high-Z output state. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4165EUK+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts and suitable for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±80mA; rail-to-rail swing; high-Z in shutdown mode. |
| 2 - IN− | Inverting input | Differential input node; protected by 1kΩ series resistor and back-to-back diodes. |
| 3 - IN+ | Noninverting input | Differential input node; same protection as IN−; common-mode range extends VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V. |
| 4 - VEE | Negative supply / ground | Reference for single-supply operation; must be connected to system ground. |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Accepts +2.7V to +6.5V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + ≥1µF bulk bypassing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Extends 0.25V beyond supply rails - eliminates need for input biasing networks in single-supply designs. |
| Rail-to-rail output voltage swing | Delivers >99% of full-scale output at 100kΩ load - preserves SNR in DAC buffer and line driver applications. |
| Unity-gain stable with 250pF capacitive load | Enables direct driving of long cables or ADC input capacitance without external isolation resistors. |
| No phase reversal on overdriven inputs | Prevents latch-up or unpredictable behavior when input exceeds common-mode limits - critical for robust audio front-ends. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | Reduces ICC to 38µA (3V) and places OUT in high-impedance - allows dynamic power gating in multi-channel audio subsystems. |
Applications
| Portable Headphone Driver | DAC Output Buffer |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-output-drive, rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA365AIDBVR | Higher GBWP (50MHz), lower quiescent current (4.2mA), no shutdown pin, SO-5 package only. | Lacks integrated shutdown; unsuitable where dynamic power gating is required. | Select when ultra-high bandwidth (>10MHz) is needed and shutdown functionality is not required. |
| TS912IDT | Lower output drive (±30mA), wider supply range (2.7V–16V), no rail-to-rail output, SO-8 package. | Cannot drive low-impedance loads like headphones or transformers directly. | Select for general-purpose precision amplification where output current <50mA suffices and higher supply voltage tolerance is needed. |
Compared with OPA365AIDBVR and TS912IDT, the MAX4165EUK+T uniquely combines 80mA output drive, rail-to-rail I/O, integrated shutdown, and SOT23-5 packaging - making it the only option among the three qualified for space-constrained, battery-powered headphone driver designs requiring active power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4165EUK+T can drive stably?
The MAX4165EUK+T is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 250pF, as confirmed in the datasheet's AC Electrical Characteristics and Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure 8). For loads exceeding 250pF - such as long cables or high-input-capacitance ADCs - an isolation resistor (e.g., 39Ω) in series with the output restores phase margin and prevents oscillation, as demonstrated in Figures 9–11 of the MAX4165–MAX4169 datasheet. The MAX4165EUK+T does not require external compensation under standard conditions.
Does the MAX4165EUK+T have a shutdown function?
No, the MAX4165EUK+T does not include a shutdown pin. Shutdown functionality is available only on the MAX4166, MAX4168, and MAX4169 variants (e.g., MAX4166EUA+T). The MAX4165EUK+T is the base single-amplifier variant without SHDN; its pinout (SOT23-5) contains only OUT, IN−, IN+, VEE, and VCC. This is explicitly stated in the Ordering Information table and Pin Configurations section of the datasheet.
What is the guaranteed output voltage swing for the MAX4165EUK+T at 5V supply and 25Ω load?
At VCC = 5V and RL = 25Ω to ground, the MAX4165EUK+T guarantees VOH ≥ VCC – 430mV (i.e., ≥4.57V) and VOL ≤ 350mV (i.e., ≤0.35V), per the DC Electrical Characteristics table (page 2, "Output Voltage Swing" row). This 4.22V total swing enables >84% utilization of the 5V rail in demanding line-driving or speaker-buffering applications.
Is the MAX4165EUK+T suitable for driving 32Ω headphones directly?
Yes, the MAX4165EUK+T is explicitly designed for this use case. Its ±80mA minimum output current and rail-to-rail output swing allow direct connection to 32Ω headphones without external transistors or transformers. The Typical Operating Circuit (page 15) shows a validated 32Ω headphone interface using C1 (DC-blocking cap), R1/R2 (gain setting), and C2 (low-frequency pole control). Thermal and power dissipation limits must be observed per the Package Power Dissipation section (page 9).
What is the input bias current specification for the MAX4165EUK+T over temperature?
The MAX4165EUK+T has a maximum input bias current of ±225nA over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, as specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table (page 3, "Input Bias Current" row). At +25°C, typical bias current is ±50nA. This low, well-controlled bias current minimizes offset errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces and ensures predictable performance in precision gain-setting networks.
