Product details
Overview
MAX4195ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-gain, rail-to-rail, micropower instrumentation amplifier with G = +1V/V, 93µA quiescent current, ±0.01% gain error (TA = +25°C), and operation from +2.7V to +7.5V single supply. It delivers precision signal conditioning for low-level sensor outputs in battery-powered medical and industrial measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4195ESA+T datasheet, MAX4195ESA+T pinout, MAX4195ESA+T application, or MAX4195ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its shutdown capability (8µA), input common-mode range extending 200mV below ground, rail-to-rail output swing, 115dB CMRR at G = +10V/V (shared family spec), and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4195ESA+T implements a three-op-amp topology with on-chip 25kΩ feedback resistors that fix gain at +1V/V. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from VEE − 0.2V to VCC − 1.1V, and its rail-to-rail output stage drives 25kΩ loads within 30mV of either rail.
Shutdown is controlled via the SHDN pin (Pin 7), reducing supply current to 8µA while placing the output in high-impedance state. The REF pin (Pin 1) sets output DC offset, enabling level-shifting for single-supply ADC interfacing without external bias networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | +1V/V, fixed by internal 25kΩ resistors - eliminates external gain-setting components and layout sensitivity. |
| Supply Current | 93µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable sensors and remote monitors. |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA typical - allows periodic wake-up sampling without significant duty-cycle penalty. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±100µV max (G = +1V/V, TA = TMIN to TMAX) - ensures <0.01% error in 10mV full-scale bridge measurements. |
| CMRR | 95dB min (G = +1V/V, TA = TMIN to TMAX) - rejects power-line interference in noisy industrial environments. |
| Bandwidth | 220kHz −3dB (G = +1V/V) - supports dynamic strain gauge and thermocouple signals up to ~35kHz usable bandwidth. |
| Input Voltage Range | VEE − 0.2V to VCC − 1.1V - accepts transducer outputs near ground without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output Swing | Within 30mV of rails (RL = 25kΩ to VCC/2) - maximizes dynamic range into low-voltage ADCs like 12-bit SAR converters. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4195ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with standard 1.27mm pitch and JEDEC MS-012AC outline (S8-5).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Reference voltage input | Sets output DC bias; tied to VCC/2 for bipolar output swing or to ground for unipolar zero-referenced output. |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting input | Accepts differential input voltage; high-impedance node (1000MΩ) minimizes loading on Wheatstone bridges. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Primary sensor input node; matched with IN− for optimal CMRR performance. |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; supports true 0V input common-mode. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback connection | Internally connected to OUT; not user-accessible - distinguishes MAX4195 from variable-gain MAX4194. |
| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 25kΩ load to within 30mV of VCC or VEE - simplifies interface to precision ADCs. |
| 7 (SHDN) | Shutdown control | Active-low logic input; pulls low to reduce ICC to 8µA and place OUT in high-Z state. |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts +2.7V to +7.5V; internal regulation enables stable operation across battery discharge curve. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed +1V/V gain | Eliminates external resistor network and associated temperature drift, improving long-term calibration stability in field-deployed equipment. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Enables full utilization of 0–3.3V or 0–5V ADC input ranges without external level-shifting or clamping diodes. |
| 200mV below ground input range | Supports direct connection to grounded thermocouples or shunt-based current sensors without AC coupling or biasing. |
| 8µA shutdown current | Permits integration into ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures, e.g., wireless sensor nodes with sub-1µA average current. |
| 115dB CMRR at G = +10V/V (family spec) | Indicates matched internal resistor network and layout symmetry - confirms high-precision design suitable for medical-grade ECG front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8221ARMZ | Higher supply current (350µA), wider supply range (±2.3V to ±18V), no shutdown, SO-8 package | Requires dual supply or charge pump for true rail-to-rail input; better for high-voltage industrial sensors | Select AD8221ARMZ when higher bandwidth (825kHz) and superior PSR (>100dB) outweigh micropower needs. |
| LTC6915CMS8#PBF | Digitally programmable gain (1–100V/V), 125µA supply current, no shutdown, MSOP-8 package | Requires SPI interface and microcontroller coordination; unsuitable for passive, set-and-forget sensor nodes | Choose LTC6915CMS8#PBF only when gain flexibility justifies added firmware complexity and board space for SPI routing. |
Compared with AD8221ARMZ and LTC6915CMS8#PBF, MAX4195ESA+T uniquely balances micropower operation (93µA), integrated shutdown (8µA), rail-to-rail I/O, and fixed +1V/V precision-making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained sensor interfaces where simplicity and longevity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX4195ESA+T?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC to VEE) for MAX4195ESA+T is +8V. Operating outside the recommended +2.7V to +7.5V single-supply range may degrade precision specifications or reliability. For dual-supply use, the range is ±1.35V to ±3.75V, with corresponding derating of common-mode and output swing limits.
Does MAX4195ESA+T require external gain-setting resistors?
No. MAX4195ESA+T has on-chip 25kΩ feedback resistors that fix the gain at +1V/V. Unlike the MAX4194, it does not use pins 1 and 8 (RG−/RG+) for external resistor connection. This eliminates gain-setting tolerance errors and thermal drift contributions from external components, enhancing long-term accuracy in the MAX4195ESA+T.
How does the shutdown function work on MAX4195ESA+T?
The SHDN pin (Pin 7) is active-low. Pulling it below VIL (VCC − 2.5V) disables internal amplifiers, reducing supply current to 8µA typical and placing the output in high-impedance state. Release to VCC enables the device with 0.5ms enable time (0.1% settling). This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Operating Characteristics plots for MAX4195ESA+T.
Can MAX4195ESA+T drive a 5kΩ load rail-to-rail?
Yes, but with reduced swing margin. With RL = 5kΩ tied to VCC/2, MAX4195ESA+T output swings within 100mV of each rail (VOL/VOH ≤ 100mV), versus 30mV with 25kΩ. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Swing" and remains within rail-to-rail definition per the datasheet's functional description.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for MAX4195ESA+T?
The input common-mode voltage range for MAX4195ESA+T is VEE − 0.2V to VCC − 1.1V. At VCC = +5V and VEE = 0V, this spans −0.2V to +3.9V - enabling direct interface to grounded thermocouples and bridge sensors without level-shifting. This range is validated across −40°C to +85°C and is explicitly stated in both the General Description and Electrical Characteristics sections.
