Product details
Overview
The MAX4165EUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, precision rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for high-output-drive portable audio applications. It delivers ±80mA output current, features 5MHz gain-bandwidth, 250µV offset voltage, and operates from +2.7V to +6.5V single supply - enabling direct drive of 32Ω headphones in battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4165EUK-T datasheet, MAX4165EUK-T pinout, MAX4165EUK-T application, or MAX4165EUK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail I/O swing under 3V operation, shutdown current <75µA, capacitive-load stability up to 250pF, 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 bipolar transistors to deliver full-swing sourcing/sinking into 25Ω loads while maintaining <430mV headroom at VCC = 5V.
It integrates internal protection circuitry including 1kΩ series input resistors and back-to-back triple diodes, limiting differential input current above 1.8V. The device is unity-gain stable and supports capacitive loads up to 250pF without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +2.7V to +6.5V single supply - enables direct use with Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V rails without level shifting. |
| Output Drive | ±80mA min - sufficient to drive 32Ω headphones at >1Vrms without external buffer stages. |
| Gain-Bandwidth | 5MHz - supports audio bandwidth (20Hz–20kHz) with >100dB open-loop gain margin at 20kHz. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1.5mV max (TA = +25°C), 4.3mV max (–40°C to +85°C) - ensures low DC error in precision signal conditioning paths. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | VOUT swings within 25mV of VEE and 30mV of VCC (RL = 100kΩ); 350mV/430mV headroom at 25Ω - enables full dynamic range in single-supply audio buffers. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5mA max per amplifier (VCC = 5V) - balances performance and battery life in always-on portable systems. |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable up to 250pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors in DAC output buffering or line-driver configurations. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4165EUK-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOT23 layouts and suitable for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Amplifier output | Delivers rail-to-rail sourced/sunk current; high-impedance in shutdown mode when SHDN = low. |
| 2 - IN− | Inverting input | Differential node for feedback networks; protected by 1kΩ series resistor and clamp diodes. |
| 3 - IN+ | Noninverting input | High-impedance input node; common-mode range extends 0.25V beyond supply rails. |
| 4 - VEE | Negative supply / ground | Reference for single-supply operation; must be connected to system ground (0V). |
| 5 - VCC | Positive supply | Accepts +2.7V to +6.5V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic + ≥1µF bulk bypassing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal on overdriven inputs | Prevents latch-up or signal inversion during input transients exceeding rail limits - critical for robust audio front-end protection. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | VEE − 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V - allows direct interfacing with ADCs/DACs operating at same supply without level-shifting. |
| Unity-gain stable with 250pF load | Enables direct connection to long traces, connectors, or capacitive DAC outputs without added isolation components. |
| 88dB PSRR (f = 1kHz) | Maintains signal integrity in noisy mixed-signal environments (e.g., near RF sections or switching regulators). |
| 250µV typical offset voltage | Reduces DC bias errors in precision transducer amplification and sensor signal chains without trimming. |
Applications
| Portable Headphone Driver | Single-Supply DAC Buffer |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 32Ω stereo headphones from a 3.3V microcontroller-based audio subsystem.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision, high-output-drive op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX44260AUB+T | Higher 10MHz GBW, lower 125µV VOS, but only ±50mA output drive and no shutdown. | Better for wideband signal conditioning; unsuitable for 32Ω headphone drive at full amplitude. | Select MAX44260AUB+T when bandwidth >5MHz is required and output current demand is ≤50mA. |
| OPA365AIDBVR | 25MHz GBW, 10µV VOS, but limited to ±25mA output and 5.5V max supply. | Superior DC precision and speed; insufficient drive for low-Z audio loads. | Choose OPA365AIDBVR for high-accuracy sensor interfaces where output current <25mA suffices. |
Compared with MAX44260AUB+T and OPA365AIDBVR, the MAX4165EUK-T uniquely combines ±80mA drive, rail-to-rail I/O, and 5MHz bandwidth in a 5-pin SOT23 - making it the only option among the three capable of direct 32Ω headphone driving without external boost stages.

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 AC Electrical Characteristics table and Figure 8 (Capacitive-Load Stability). This allows direct connection to DAC outputs, long PCB traces, or connector interfaces without external isolation resistors - simplifying layout and preserving signal fidelity in audio and data-acquisition applications.
Does the MAX4165EUK-T have a shutdown feature?
No, the MAX4165EUK-T does not include a shutdown function. Shutdown capability is only available on the MAX4166/MAX4168 variants (e.g., MAX4166EUA, MAX4168ESD). The MAX4165EUK-T draws 1.5mA typical quiescent current and remains fully active whenever powered within its supply range (+2.7V to +6.5V).
What is the guaranteed output voltage swing for the MAX4165EUK-T at 3.3V supply?
At VCC = 3.3V and TA = +25°C, the MAX4165EUK-T guarantees VOUT swing within 40mV of VEE and 40mV of VCC with RL = 100kΩ (per DC Electrical Characteristics table). Under 25Ω load, typical swing is within 160mV of VEE and 340mV of VCC - enabling >2.8Vpp output into low-impedance loads.
Can the MAX4165EUK-T be used with dual supplies?
Yes, the MAX4165EUK-T supports dual-supply operation from ±1.35V to ±3.25V. When using dual supplies, connect VEE to the negative rail (e.g., –1.5V) and VCC to the positive rail (e.g., +1.5V). Input common-mode and output swing remain rail-to-rail relative to the applied supplies, preserving full dynamic range in split-rail signal chains.
What is the input bias current specification for the MAX4165EUK-T over temperature?
The MAX4165EUK-T specifies ±225nA maximum input bias current over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range (DC Electrical Characteristics, second table). At +25°C, typical bias current is ±50nA. This low, well-controlled bias current minimizes offset errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces and precision gain-setting networks.
