Product details
Overview
MAX4249ESD+ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, low-noise, low-distortion rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 2.4V to 5.5V. It delivers 22MHz gain-bandwidth product (for gains ≥10V/V), 0.0002% THD+N at 1kHz, 7.9nV/√Hz input voltage-noise density, and 400μA quiescent current per amplifier - making it ideal for high-fidelity ADC buffering and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4249ESD+ datasheet, MAX4249ESD+ pinout, MAX4249ESD+ application, or MAX4249ESD+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its decompensated stability (AV ≥10V/V), integrated shutdown control (SHDN), 14-pin SO package with verified dual-amplifier pinout, and guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing within 8mV of rails into 10kΩ.
Technical Context
The MAX4249ESD+ belongs to the decompensated subgroup of the MAX4249–MAX4257 family, internally compensated for closed-loop gains of 10V/V or greater. Its 22MHz GBW and 2.1V/µs slew rate enable high-speed, low-distortion signal conditioning in precision analog front-ends.
It features true rail-to-rail output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ±5mA, input common-mode range extending to VSS (ground) and up to VDD − 1.1V, and a dedicated shutdown pin (SHDN) that reduces supply current to 0.5μA while placing outputs in high-impedance state - confirmed for MAX4249/MAX4251/MAX4253/MAX4256 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 22MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation at AV ≥10V/V with sufficient loop gain for low distortion in gain-setting networks. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise | 0.0002% at 1kHz, RL = 1kΩ - enables high-dynamic-range signal chains compatible with 16-bit ADCs like MAX195. |
| Input Voltage-Noise Density | 7.9nV/√Hz at 30kHz - ensures minimal noise contribution when amplifying low-level sensor or transducer signals. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 400μA per amplifier - enables battery-powered operation with multi-day runtime in portable medical or test equipment. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 8mV of VDD/VSS into 10kΩ - maximizes usable dynamic range in low-voltage (2.4V–5.5V) single-supply systems. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 0.5μA - reduces system standby power by >99.9% while preserving signal path isolation via high-Z outputs. |
| Capacitive-Load Drive | 400pF - eliminates need for external isolation resistors in most PCB layouts with moderate trace capacitance. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4249ESD+ is housed in a 14-pin SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad (not thermally enhanced). Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices' official Pin/Bump Configurations table for MAX4249 in 14-pin SO.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 8, 14 | OUT, OUTA, OUTB | Dual independent rail-to-rail output terminals; pins 1 & 7 = OUTA/OUTB; pins 8 & 14 = NC/SHDN-related (see pin mapping) |
| 2, 6, 9, 13 | IN−, INA−, INB− | Inverting inputs for both amplifiers; pin 2 = INA−, pin 6 = INB−; pins 9 & 13 = NC |
| 3, 5, 10, 12 | IN+, INA+, INB+ | Noninverting inputs; pin 3 = INA+, pin 5 = INB+; pins 10 & 12 = NC |
| 4 | VSS | Negative supply / ground reference; must be connected to system ground for single-supply operation. |
| 11 | VDD | Positive supply input; accepts 2.4V–5.5V; requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 5, 7, 8, 10 | SHDN, SHDNA, SHDNB | Shutdown control inputs; pin 5 = SHDNA (A-amp), pin 7 = SHDNB (B-amp); logic-high enables, logic-low disables both amps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Drives within 8mV of VDD/VSS into 10kΩ - preserves full-scale resolution in low-voltage data acquisition systems. |
| Ultra-low THD+N | 0.0002% at 1kHz enables clean amplification of audio and sensor signals without harmonic contamination. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | Reduces total supply current to ≤1μA (both amps) - critical for intermittent-sampling architectures in portable devices. |
| Ground-sensing input | Input common-mode range includes VSS (0V) - allows direct interfacing with unipolar sensors and single-ended sources. |
| 400pF capacitive-load stability | Eliminates need for output isolation resistors in typical PCB routing - simplifies layout and improves transient response. |
Applications
| ADC Buffering | Portable Medical Instrumentation |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, decompensated, rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4256ESA+ | Single-channel, 22MHz GBW, same shutdown and noise specs, but 8-pin SO package. | Used where board space permits discrete channel placement or where channel count flexibility is needed. | Select MAX4256ESA+ when only one high-speed, low-noise amplifier is required per footprint. |
| OPA2189IDR | Zero-drift architecture, 1.2MHz GBW, 5.2nV/√Hz noise, no shutdown pin, 8-pin SO. | Better DC accuracy (0.005µV/°C drift) but lower speed; unsuitable for >100kHz THD-critical paths. | Choose OPA2189IDR only for ultra-stable DC-coupled applications where speed and shutdown are secondary. |
Compared with MAX4256ESA+, the MAX4249ESD+ saves board area by integrating two matched amplifiers in one 14-pin SO; versus OPA2189IDR, it trades zero-drift DC performance for 18× higher bandwidth and integrated power management - essential for dynamic signal chains.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for MAX4249ESD+?
The MAX4249ESD+ is internally compensated for closed-loop gains of 10V/V or greater. It is not unity-gain stable; using it at AV < 10V/V risks instability and peaking. For unity-gain applications, select MAX4250–MAX4254 variants instead. This gain constraint is explicitly defined in the Selector Guide and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does MAX4249ESD+ support true rail-to-rail input operation?
No - MAX4249ESD+ features rail-to-rail *output* operation and ground-sensing *input* (common-mode range includes VSS), but its input common-mode voltage does not extend to VDD. The upper limit is VDD − 1.1V, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. This allows interfacing with ground-referenced sensors but not full-rail input swing.
How does the shutdown function work on MAX4249ESD+?
MAX4249ESD+ has dedicated SHDN pins (pins 5 and 7) for each amplifier. Driving either pin to VSS (≤0.2×VDD) places the corresponding amplifier's output in high-impedance state and reduces its supply current to 0.5μA. Both amplifiers remain enabled when SHDN pins are tied to VDD or left open. Delay time to enable is 3.5µs (typical).
What is the maximum capacitive load MAX4249ESD+ can drive without compensation?
MAX4249ESD+ maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 400pF without external compensation. This value is guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Capacitive-Load Stability". Exceeding 400pF requires an isolation resistor (RISO) between output and load - values are tabulated in Figure 6 of the datasheet.
Is MAX4249ESD+ qualified for automotive applications?
No - MAX4249ESD+ is rated for the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). For automotive use, Analog Devices specifies the MAX4250AAUK+T variant, which operates from −40°C to +125°C and uses a 5-pin SOT23 package. The MAX4249ESD+ datasheet explicitly lists its temp range as −40°C to +85°C in the Ordering Information table.
