Product details
Overview
MAX4274BKEUA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, fixed-gain, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier with internal precision gain-setting resistors and ±17V input fault protection. It delivers noninverting gain of +5V/V, operates from +2.5V to +5.5V single supply, consumes 300µA, and achieves 23MHz gain-bandwidth product. It is used in low-side current-sense amplification and photodiode preamplification where high DC accuracy and compact size are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4274BKEUA+T datasheet, MAX4274BKEUA+T pinout, MAX4274BKEUA+T application, or MAX4274BKEUA+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-trimmed 0.1% gain accuracy, SOT23-5 package compatibility, rail-to-rail output swing into 1kΩ, stability with up to 470pF capacitive load, and VCC/2 biasing absence (requires external bias for AC-coupled single-supply use).
Technical Context
The MAX4274BKEUA+T integrates a decompensated rail-to-rail op amp core with laser-trimmed on-chip feedback resistors (RF/RG) to deliver fixed noninverting gain of +5V/V. Its compensation is optimized specifically for this gain setting, enabling a 23MHz GBW product and 330kHz –3dB bandwidth.
Input stage features back-to-back SCR structures and diode clamps at both inputs, allowing ±17V fault tolerance without phase reversal or excessive current draw (<3.5mA). The inverting input connects directly to RG, limiting its common-mode range to within supply rails, while the noninverting input accepts standard op-amp voltage ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | +5V/V noninverting, factory-trimmed RF/RG ratio ensures 0.1% DC accuracy |
| Supply Voltage | +2.5V to +5.5V single supply - supports battery-powered portable instruments and smart-card readers |
| Supply Current | 300µA typical - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on sensing nodes |
| GBW Product | 23MHz - provides usable bandwidth for signal conditioning up to ~330kHz at AV = +5V/V |
| Input Fault Protection | ±17V at either input - eliminates need for external clamping in noisy industrial or automotive sensor interfaces |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable up to 470pF - drives ADC input filters or long traces without isolation resistor |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail into 1kΩ - delivers full dynamic range across supply, e.g., 0.025V to 5.475V at VCC = 5.5V |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 surface-mount package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), thermally enhanced, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN–) | Inverting input | Connects internally to RG; must remain within supply rails to avoid distortion; no internal VCC/2 bias |
| 2 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 1kΩ load with <250mV headroom at each rail |
| 3 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to ground |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative supply / ground | Connected to system ground in single-supply operation; defines lower rail reference |
| 5 (IN+) | Noninverting input | Standard op-amp input node; no internal VCC/2 bias - external bias required for AC-coupled single-supply use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-gain amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4174EUK+T | +5V/V noninverting gain, identical SOT23-5 pinout and electrical specs; same 0.1% gain accuracy and ±17V fault protection | Same functional role; differs only in temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C vs. MAX4274BKEUA+T's –40°C to +125°C extended range) | Select MAX4174EUK+T for commercial-temperature applications where extended thermal margin is unnecessary |
| AD8236ARMZ-R7 | Instrumentation amplifier with adjustable gain (via external resistor), 1.5V/V to 1000V/V; higher input offset (±150µV), higher supply current (370µA), no ±17V fault protection | Requires external gain-setting resistor and dual supplies for best CMRR; suited for high-precision differential sensing, not single-ended fixed-gain use | Choose AD8236ARMZ-R7 only when differential input architecture and programmable gain outweigh cost, size, and fault-protection trade-offs |
Compared with MAX4174EUK+T, MAX4274BKEUA+T offers extended temperature operation up to +125°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive or industrial edge nodes; versus AD8236ARMZ-R7, it delivers lower power, smaller footprint, guaranteed 0.1% gain, and robust fault tolerance-but lacks differential input capability.

FAQ
What is the exact gain configuration of the MAX4274BKEUA+T?
The MAX4274BKEUA+T is configured for noninverting gain of +5V/V. This is achieved via internal laser-trimmed feedback resistors (RF/RG) delivering 0.1% DC gain accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. Unlike the MAX4275 variant, it does not include internal VCC/2 biasing at the IN+ pin, requiring external bias for AC-coupled single-supply operation.
Does the MAX4274BKEUA+T support rail-to-rail input operation?
No, the MAX4274BKEUA+T does not support rail-to-rail input common-mode range. Its IN– pin connects directly to the internal RG resistor and must remain within the supply rails (VEE to VCC) to avoid distortion. The IN+ pin supports a common-mode range from VEE to VCC – 1.2V. Full rail-to-rail input capability is found only in the open-loop MAX428x series, not in the fixed-gain MAX4274BKEUA+T.
Can the MAX4274BKEUA+T drive a 1000pF capacitive load?
The MAX4274BKEUA+T is specified stable up to 470pF without external compensation. Driving 1000pF directly may cause peaking or oscillation. For loads exceeding 470pF, add a 100Ω isolation resistor in series with the output - validated in Maxim's Figure 10 - to restore phase margin while maintaining signal fidelity.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the MAX4274BKEUA+T?
The MAX4274BKEUA+T is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C. This extended temperature range distinguishes it from the commercial-grade MAX4174 (–40°C to +85°C) and makes it suitable for under-hood automotive modules, industrial motor controllers, and outdoor IoT sensor nodes where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Is the MAX4274BKEUA+T pin-compatible with other GainAmp devices in SOT23-5?
Yes, the MAX4274BKEUA+T shares the identical SOT23-5 pinout (IN–, OUT, VCC, VEE, IN+) with all MAX4174/MAX4175/MAX4274/MAX4275 variants. This allows direct substitution within the same footprint, provided the gain configuration (+5V/V), biasing requirement (no internal VCC/2), and temperature grade align with system needs.
