Product details
Overview
The MAX4245AUT-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power, battery-powered systems. It delivers 1MHz gain-bandwidth, 320µA quiescent current per amplifier, 50nA shutdown current, and operates from +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - enabling precision signal conditioning in portable communications and sensor-signal detection applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4245AUT-T datasheet, MAX4245AUT-T pinout, MAX4245AUT-T application, or MAX4245AUT-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-pin SOT23 package, integrated shutdown control (SHDN), rail-to-rail swing within 35mV of rails at 2kΩ load, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX4245AUT-T uses a composite NPN/PNP input stage enabling true rail-to-rail common-mode input range (VSS – 0.1V to VDD + 0.1V) and eliminates phase inversion on overdriven inputs. Its output stage drives 2kΩ loads while maintaining ≤35mV voltage swing from each rail under typical conditions.
It features a unity-gain stable architecture supporting capacitive loads up to 470pF without external compensation, with 70° phase margin and 20dB gain margin. Shutdown control (active-low SHDN) reduces supply current to 50nA and places the output in high-impedance state - critical for power-gated sensor front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - supports direct connection to decaying Li-ion or coin-cell batteries. |
| Quiescent Current | 320µA per amplifier at +2.7V - enables multi-year operation in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | 50nA max - reduces system standby power by >6,000× versus active mode. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.0MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing, filtering, and low-speed instrumentation signals. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.4mV (typ), ±1.5mV (max) - ensures <1 LSB error in 12-bit ADC front-ends with 3V full-scale. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable up to 470pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors in many PCB trace or cable-driven applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive engine bay, industrial motor controls, and outdoor IoT sensors. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4245AUT-T is housed in a space-saving 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+4), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SC70-6 but offering higher thermal dissipation (695mW at +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN+ | Noninverting input - accepts signals from VSS – 0.1V to VDD + 0.1V; matched impedance minimizes bias-current-induced offset. |
| 2 | VSS | Ground or negative supply - reference for all input/output voltages and shutdown logic. |
| 3 | IN− | Inverting input - differential pair node; internal 5.3kΩ series resistors provide ESD protection. |
| 4 | OUT | Amplifier output - rail-to-rail swing (≤35mV from rails into 2kΩ), high-impedance in shutdown. |
| 5 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control - logic low (≤0.3×VDD) disables amplifier and forces output high-Z. |
| 6 | VDD | Positive supply - accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; bypass with 100nF capacitor to VSS for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Enables full dynamic range utilization in single-supply systems - no level-shifting circuitry required for 0–VDD signal chains. |
| 50nA shutdown current | Reduces average system power in duty-cycled sensing (e.g., 1s active / 999s shutdown → 99.9% power saving). |
| No phase inversion | Prevents output latch-up during input overdrive - essential for zero-crossing detectors and comparator-like behavior. |
| 470pF capacitive-load stability | Supports direct driving of long traces, LCD segments, or RF filter networks without added isolation components. |
| 110dB open-loop gain | Ensures <0.01% gain error in precision gain stages (e.g., G = 100) with 2kΩ load. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power, rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV9001IDBVR | Higher quiescent current (65µA vs. 320µA), no shutdown, 1MHz GBW, same SOT23-6 package. | Lacks shutdown control - unsuitable for duty-cycled systems requiring deep sleep states. | Choose when shutdown is unnecessary and lower cost is prioritized over ultra-low power. |
| OPA316IDBVR | Lower input offset (±100µV typ), higher quiescent current (400µA), no shutdown, 10MHz GBW. | Excess bandwidth increases noise and power - overkill for DC/low-frequency sensor signals. | Choose only if higher precision (sub-100µV VOS) and faster settling (<1µs) justify 25% higher supply current. |
Compared with TLV9001IDBVR and OPA316IDBVR, the MAX4245AUT-T uniquely balances ultra-low shutdown current (50nA), rail-to-rail I/O, and 1MHz bandwidth in a 6-pin SOT23 - making it the only option among the three qualified for extended-life, temperature-hardened, power-gated sensor interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4245AUT-T can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4245AUT-T is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 470pF, as verified in the manufacturer's Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure MAX4245 toc15). This specification applies under standard test conditions (VDD = +2.7V, RL = 2kΩ, TA = +25°C) and is guaranteed by design across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. Loads exceeding 470pF require an isolation resistor (e.g., 100Ω) between OUT and CL to maintain stability.
Does the MAX4245AUT-T support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4245AUT-T supports dual-supply operation from ±1.25V to ±2.75V, as explicitly stated in the Applications Information section. Its rail-to-rail input and output stages function correctly with symmetric supplies, and the shutdown pin (SHDN) must be referenced to VSS (not ground) in dual-supply configurations to ensure proper disable functionality.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for the MAX4245AUT-T at +125°C?
At +125°C, the input common-mode voltage range for the MAX4245AUT-T is VSS – 0.1V to VDD + 0.1V, per Note 4 in the Electrical Characteristics table. This extended range - beyond the rails - is enabled by the composite NPN/PNP input stage and is fully specified across the entire –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range.
How does the shutdown feature affect output state in the MAX4245AUT-T?
When SHDN is pulled low (≤0.3×VDD), the MAX4245AUT-T disables its amplifier core and places the OUT pin in a high-impedance (tri-state) condition, with output leakage current limited to ±0.5µA (max) over temperature. This allows multiple MAX4245AUT-T devices to share a common bus or ADC input without contention, and eliminates loading of downstream circuitry during sleep.
Is the MAX4245AUT-T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX4245AUT-T is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, indicated by the "+T" suffix in its ordering code and confirmed in the Ordering Information table footnote ("+Denotes a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant package"). The package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for reflow soldering at +260°C peak temperature.
