Product details
Overview
MAX4199ESA from Maxim Integrated is a micropower, single-supply, rail-to-rail precision differential amplifier with fixed +10V/V gain, 110dB DC common-mode rejection, 10µV input offset voltage, and 42µA supply current. It operates from +2.7V to +7.5V and drives 5kΩ loads to within 100mV of each rail-ideal for low-power transducer interface and portable current-sense applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4199ESA datasheet, MAX4199ESA pinout, MAX4199ESA application, or MAX4199ESA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.01% gain error over temperature, Beyond-the-Rails™-compatible input stage (for MAX4198 only), shutdown current of 6.5µA, and µMAX package thermal performance in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4199ESA integrates factory-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve ±0.01% gain accuracy at +10V/V, with gain temperature coefficient of ±1ppm/°C. Its internal op-amp topology supports common-mode input range from VEE −0.1V to VCC −1.0V (at +5V supply), enabling robust operation near supply rails.
It features an active-low SHDN pin referenced to VCC (VIH = VCC −1.5V, VIL = VCC −2.5V), enabling fast 35µs enable/disable settling. The rail-to-rail output stage delivers 100mV headroom into 5kΩ while maintaining 45kHz −3dB bandwidth and 0.07V/µs slew rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | +10V/V, factory-trimmed, ±0.01% max error ensures high-accuracy signal conditioning without external resistor matching. |
| Supply Current | 42µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation and sensor nodes. |
| −3dB Bandwidth | 45kHz - sufficient for DC–audio-range differential sensing in data-acquisition systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 10µV typical - minimizes baseline error in precision current-sense and bridge amplifier applications. |
| CMR (DC) | 110dB - rejects common-mode noise from noisy industrial or automotive power domains. |
| Shutdown Current | 6.5µA - reduces system standby power without requiring external power gating circuitry. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail into 5kΩ, within 100mV of VEE/VCC - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply 3V systems. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4199ESA is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3.05mm × 3.05mm, 0.6mm height), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and thermal performance in compact portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 1) | Reference voltage input | Sets output common-mode level; tied to VCC/2 for bipolar output swing in single-supply configurations. |
| IN+ (Pin 3) | Noninverting input | Accepts differential input signals; input impedance 275kΩ enables high-Z sensor interfacing. |
| IN− (Pin 2) | Inverting input | Completes differential pair; matched internal 25kΩ resistor network ensures precise gain accuracy. |
| FB (Pin 5) | Feedback node | Accessible for external gain adjustment or sensing; not required for standard +10V/V operation. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; high-impedance during shutdown to prevent loading downstream stages. |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Positive supply | Supports +2.7V to +7.5V single supply or ±1.35V to ±3.75V dual supply; requires local 0.1µF bypass. |
| VEE (Pin 4) | Negative supply / ground | Functions as GND in single-supply mode; must be bypassed when used with dual supplies. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Active-low shutdown control | Logic threshold referenced to VCC (not GND); pulls 2.5V below VCC to enter 6.5µA shutdown state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 0.01% gain error | Enables direct replacement of discrete resistor-based difference amplifiers without calibration. |
| 110dB DC CMR | Rejects power-supply ripple and EMI-coupled noise in motor drive feedback and industrial analog front-ends. |
| 10µV input offset voltage | Reduces zero-error drift in millivolt-level transducer outputs (e.g., load cells, RTDs). |
| 42µA supply current | Permits integration into always-on sensor nodes powered by coin-cell batteries (e.g., CR2032 >5 years). |
| 35µs enable/disable settling | Supports burst-mode operation in energy-harvesting systems where amplifiers activate only during sampling windows. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA199A1IDBVR | +50V/V fixed gain, 2.7V–36V supply, 65µA IQ, 100kHz BW, SO-5 package | Better suited for high-side current sensing in 12V/24V industrial systems; lacks shutdown and rail-to-rail output. | Select when wider supply range and higher gain are needed, but accept larger footprint and no shutdown. |
| AD8276ARMZ | +0.2V/V to +10V/V programmable gain, 3.0V–36V supply, 220µA IQ, 550kHz BW, MSOP-8 | Offers adjustable gain via external resistors; higher power and bandwidth trade off against MAX4199ESA's micropower advantage. | Choose when gain flexibility is critical and 42µA quiescent current is non-negotiable for battery life. |
Compared with INA199A1IDBVR and AD8276ARMZ, the MAX4199ESA delivers the lowest power (42µA) and smallest footprint (µMAX) for fixed +10V/V differential amplification in 3V portable systems, though it lacks programmability and high-voltage tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MAX4199ESA?
The MAX4199ESA supports a maximum supply voltage of +8V between VCC and VEE. Absolute maximum ratings specify VCC to VEE ≤ +8V; operation beyond this risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, the recommended supply range remains +2.7V to +7.5V single supply or ±1.35V to ±3.75V dual supply, as validated across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Does MAX4199ESA support rail-to-rail input operation?
No, the MAX4199ESA does not support true rail-to-rail input operation. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from VEE −0.1V to VCC −1.0V (at +5V supply). While the MAX4198ESA offers Beyond-the-Rails™ input (up to 100mV beyond VCC/VEE), the MAX4199ESA's input stage is limited to VEE −0.1V minimum and VCC −1.0V maximum-verified in the Input Common-Mode Range vs. Supply Voltage graph (MAX4198toc28).
Can MAX4199ESA drive capacitive loads, and what is the stability limit?
Yes, the MAX4199ESA is stable driving up to 590pF capacitive load without external compensation, as confirmed in Typical Operating Characteristics (MAX4198toc19). With isolation resistor (e.g., 75Ω), it tolerates up to 760pF. Exceeding these values causes ringing or oscillation; for >760pF, an RISO ≥75Ω is mandatory to maintain stability while accepting reduced bandwidth and DC accuracy.
What is the function of the FB pin on MAX4199ESA?
The FB (feedback) pin on MAX4199ESA provides access to the internal feedback node between the gain-setting resistors. In standard +10V/V operation, FB is left unconnected. It can be used for external gain adjustment, output sensing, or configuring alternate topologies (e.g., inverting buffer), but doing so voids the factory-trimmed gain accuracy and requires external resistor matching per the Application Circuits section.
How does the SHDN pin logic work on MAX4199ESA?
The SHDN pin on MAX4199ESA is active-low and referenced to VCC-not ground. It enters shutdown when pulled to VIL = VCC −2.5V (min), and exits shutdown when raised to VIH = VCC −1.5V (min). This VCC-referenced threshold ensures consistent behavior across varying supply voltages and eliminates ground-referenced logic level translation. Shutdown current drops to 6.5µA, and OUT goes high-impedance.
