Product details
Overview
MAX4174AOEUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, noninverting fixed-gain amplifier with internal precision resistors, delivering +5V/V gain accuracy of ±0.1%, rail-to-rail output swing into 1kΩ, and operation from +2.5V to +5.5V supply. It consumes only 300µA quiescent current and features ±17V input fault protection-ideal for low-side current-sense amplification in portable instrumentation and smart-card readers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4174AOEUK-T datasheet, MAX4174AOEUK-T pinout, MAX4174AOEUK-T application, or MAX4174AOEUK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed DC gain accuracy, capacitive-load stability up to 470pF, GBW-optimized compensation for +5V/V gain, input voltage range compliance (VEE to VCC), and SOT23-5 footprint compatibility in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4174AOEUK-T integrates a rail-to-rail output op-amp core with laser-trimmed on-chip feedback resistors (RF/RG) to fix noninverting gain at +5V/V. Its internal decompensation is optimized specifically for this gain setting, achieving 330kHz −3dB bandwidth and 23MHz gain-bandwidth product.
Input stage includes back-to-back SCR structures and diode clamps enabling ±17V fault tolerance without phase reversal or excessive current draw (<3.5mA). The inverting input connects directly to RG, limiting its common-mode range to VEE ≤ VIN− ≤ VCC, while the noninverting input accepts VEE to VCC − 1.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed Gain | +5V/V noninverting, factory-trimmed RF/RG ratio with ±0.1% accuracy-eliminates external resistor matching and layout sensitivity. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply-supports Li-ion battery-powered systems and 3.3V/5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current | 300µA typical per amplifier-enables always-on sensing in ultra-low-power portable instruments. |
| −3dB Bandwidth | 330kHz at AV = +5V/V-sufficient for DC-coupled current monitoring and medium-speed sensor signal conditioning. |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with up to 470pF without isolation resistor-simplifies PCB routing to remote ADC inputs or long traces. |
| Input Fault Protection | ±17V tolerance on both inputs-prevents latch-up or damage during hot-plug, ESD transients, or sensor overvoltage events. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Rail-to-rail into 1kΩ load (VOH ≥ VCC − 25mV, VOL ≤ VEE + 25mV)-maximizes dynamic range for 12-bit+ ADC interfacing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23-5, surface-mount, 5-pin plastic package with 0.95mm pitch and 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint-compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN−) | Inverting input node | Internally connected to RG; must remain within VEE to VCC to avoid distortion-no external connection required in noninverting configuration. |
| 2 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 1kΩ load with <25mV headroom; stable with ≤470pF capacitive load. |
| 3 (VCC) | Positive supply | +2.5V to +5.5V input; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative supply / ground | Connected to system ground in single-supply operation; forms return path for bias and output current. |
| 5 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Accepts input signals from VEE to VCC − 1.2V; used as signal input in noninverting +5V/V configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed internal gain resistors | 0.1% gain accuracy eliminates external resistor selection, placement, and thermal drift errors in production. |
| Optimized decompensation for +5V/V | 330kHz bandwidth and 23MHz GBW enable faster settling than unity-gain-stable op-amps at same gain. |
| Rail-to-rail output stage | Delivers full-scale swing into 1kΩ-preserves SNR when driving SAR or sigma-delta ADC reference buffers. |
| ±17V input fault protection | SCR/diode clamp structure limits input current to <3.5mA during overvoltage-reduces need for external TVS or series resistors. |
| Low 300µA supply current | Enables continuous current monitoring in battery-operated devices with multi-year runtime expectations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-gain amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4174BOEUK-T | +3V/V noninverting gain; identical SOT23-5 package, pinout, and electrical specs except gain value. | Suitable where lower gain reduces output swing headroom requirements or improves noise performance at same input signal level. | Select when design requires +3V/V instead of +5V/V-no layout or BOM change needed beyond part number substitution. |
| MAX4274AOEUK-T | Dual-channel version with same +5V/V gain, 300µA/channel, and SOT23-8 package-shares identical gain accuracy and bandwidth specs. | Preferred for space-constrained dual-signal paths (e.g., differential current sensing or stereo sensor interfaces). | Choose for dual-channel needs; requires SOT23-8 footprint and separate VCC/VEE routing per channel. |
Compared with MAX4174BOEUK-T and MAX4274AOEUK-T, the MAX4174AOEUK-T provides optimal trade-off between gain, bandwidth, and single-channel integration for compact, low-power current-sense and sensor interface designs-without requiring external gain-setting components or layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact gain configuration of the MAX4174AOEUK-T?
The MAX4174AOEUK-T is a noninverting fixed-gain amplifier with precisely trimmed internal resistors set to deliver +5V/V gain. This is confirmed in the Gain Selection Guide and Electrical Characteristics table, where "Gain = +5V/V" is explicitly specified for the 'A' grade variant. The device does not support inverting or adjustable gain configurations.
Does the MAX4174AOEUK-T require external gain-setting resistors?
No, the MAX4174AOEUK-T integrates laser-trimmed internal RF and RG resistors to achieve its +5V/V noninverting gain. No external resistors are needed-this eliminates layout sensitivity, thermal drift, and component count associated with discrete gain networks. The IN− pin is internally connected to RG and is not intended for external access.
Can the MAX4174AOEUK-T drive a 100pF capacitive load without oscillation?
Yes-the MAX4174AOEUK-T is stable with capacitive loads up to 470pF without requiring an isolation resistor. This is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Capacitive Load Stability" and confirmed in Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure 11 and Figure 12), which show clean small-signal pulse response at CL = 250pF and CL = 470pF.
What is the input voltage range specification for the MAX4174AOEUK-T?
The MAX4174AOEUK-T specifies IN+ input voltage range as VEE to VCC − 1.2V and IN− range as VEE to VCC. These limits are guaranteed by functional test and reflect the internal connection of IN− to the RG series resistor. Exceeding these ranges may cause distortion or clipping, as detailed in the Applications Information section.
Is the MAX4174AOEUK-T pin-compatible with other GainAmp devices in SOT23-5?
Yes-the MAX4174AOEUK-T shares identical SOT23-5 pinout (IN−, OUT, VCC, VEE, IN+) with all MAX4174/MAX4175 variants. Pin compatibility is confirmed in the Pin Configurations diagram and Pin Description table. However, MAX4175 variants include internal VCC/2 biasing on IN+, so direct substitution requires verifying biasing requirements.
