Product details
Overview
The MAX4239AUT#G16 from Maxim Integrated is a decompensated, ultra-high-precision operational amplifier optimized for gain ≥10V/V applications. It delivers 6.5MHz gain-bandwidth product, 0.1µV typical input offset voltage, 10nV/°C drift, rail-to-rail output swing, and operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply while consuming only 600µA. It is widely used in high-accuracy strain gauge signal conditioning and thermocouple front-ends where low 1/f noise and long-term stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4239AUT#G16 datasheet, MAX4239AUT#G16 pinout, MAX4239AUT#G16 application, or MAX4239AUT#G16 equivalent, key selection criteria include minimum stable gain (10V/V), shutdown current (0.1µA), offset drift over automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4239AUT#G16 employs patented autocorrelating zeroing architecture to continuously measure and cancel input offset and 1/f noise-enabling near-zero DC error without chopper-induced intermodulation distortion. Its pseudorandom clock (10kHz–15kHz) minimizes spectral artifacts while maintaining fast overload recovery (3.3ms).
This decompensated amplifier requires closed-loop gain ≥10V/V for stability and supports maximum gains up to 6700V/V. Its ground-sensing inputs, rail-to-rail output (±100mV from rails at 1kΩ), and high PSRR/CMRR (140dB each) make it suitable for precision instrumentation interfacing directly to low-impedance sensors and high-resolution ADCs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 6.5MHz - enables stable operation at AV = 10V/V with usable bandwidth up to ~650kHz |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2.5µV max (−40°C to +85°C) - ensures ≤0.006% error in 14-bit systems without calibration |
| Offset Drift | 10nV/°C - contributes only 100nV drift over 10°C ambient change, critical for uncalibrated industrial sensors |
| Supply Current | 600µA typical - allows battery-powered instrumentation with >1-year runtime on coin cell |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - reduces power by 6000×, enabling duty-cycled sensor acquisition |

Pinout & Package
The MAX4239AUT#G16 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-exempt 6-pin SOT23 package (pkg code U6FH-6), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with gull-wing leads. The exposed die pad is not present in this variant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Amplifier output terminal; rail-to-rail capable into 1kΩ load |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and bias networks |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input; high-impedance CMOS node (IB = 1pA) |
| 4 | IN− | Inverting input; matched to IN+ for optimal CMRR and offset cancellation |
| 5 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; pulls output to high-Z when logic low |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply input; accepts 2.7V to 5.5V with 140dB PSRR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Autocorrelating Zeroing Architecture | Eliminates 1/f noise and thermal drift without chopper artifacts; enables true DC precision |
| Minimum Stable Gain | 10V/V - mandates external gain-setting network; prevents oscillation in high-speed configurations |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Stage | Swings within 100mV of VCC/GND into 1kΩ - maximizes ADC utilization with single-supply operation |
| Ultra-Low Input Bias Current | 1pA typical - avoids loading errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoresistors) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4238AUT#G16 | Unity-gain stable; 1MHz GBWP; lower bandwidth but stable at AV = 1V/V | Better suited for unity-gain buffers and low-frequency (<100kHz) applications | Select when gain flexibility down to 1V/V is required and bandwidth demand is ≤100kHz |
| AD8628ARJZ-REEL7 | Chopper-stabilized; 2.5MHz GBWP; 1µV max offset; no minimum gain constraint | Compatible with AV = 1V/V; higher noise floor above 10Hz due to chopping | Prefer when unity-gain stability and wider bandwidth are needed, accepting higher mid-frequency noise |
Compared with MAX4238AUT#G16 and AD8628ARJZ-REEL7, the MAX4239AUT#G16 uniquely balances high-speed precision (6.5MHz GBWP) with ultra-low drift (10nV/°C) and strict minimum-gain stability-making it optimal for fixed-gain, high-resolution sensor interfaces where bandwidth and DC accuracy are both critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for the MAX4239AUT#G16?
The MAX4239AUT#G16 is decompensated and requires a minimum closed-loop gain of 10V/V for stable operation. This is confirmed in the Selector Guide and Electrical Characteristics tables. Gains below 10V/V risk phase margin degradation and potential oscillation. The MAX4239AUT#G16 achieves 6.5MHz GBWP only when operated at or above this gain threshold.
Does the MAX4239AUT#G16 support rail-to-rail input?
No, the MAX4239AUT#G16 does not support rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode input voltage range is specified as GND − 0.05V to VCC − 1.4V (over −40°C to +125°C), meaning it cannot accept signals at the negative rail or within ~1.4V of the positive rail. However, it does provide rail-to-rail output swing into 1kΩ loads.
What is the shutdown behavior of the MAX4239AUT#G16?
When SHDN is pulled low, the MAX4239AUT#G16 enters a 0.1µA shutdown state: the internal zeroing clock stops, amplifier bias is cut, and the output transitions to a high-impedance state. During shutdown, output leakage is ≤2µA (over temperature). Normal operation resumes within 4.3ms after SHDN returns high.
Is the MAX4239AUT#G16 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MAX4239AUT#G16 is RoHS/lead-exempt per its # suffix, indicating compliance with EU RoHS Directive exemptions for lead in high-melting-temperature solder alloys. It uses a lead-exempt finish on its SOT23-6 package (pkg code U6FH-6) and is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C.
How does the MAX4239AUT#G16 handle 1/f noise?
The MAX4239AUT#G16 eliminates 1/f noise via patented autocorrelating zeroing-sampling and subtracting low-frequency input errors in real time. This technique treats 1/f noise as a slow-varying offset, achieving 1.5µVP-P (0.01Hz–10Hz) noise and enabling true DC precision without chopper-induced intermodulation distortion.
