Product details
Overview
The MAX4321EUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for precision signal conditioning in single-supply systems. It delivers 5MHz gain-bandwidth, 2V/µs slew rate, ±1.2mV input offset voltage (typ), 650µA quiescent current, and full rail-to-rail swing into 250Ω loads - enabling high-fidelity amplification in battery-powered data-acquisition front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4321EUK-T datasheet, MAX4321EUK-T pinout, MAX4321EUK-T application, or MAX4321EUK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed +2.4V to +6.5V single-supply operation, unity-gain stability with up to 500pF capacitive loads, no phase reversal on overdriven inputs, and SOT23-5 footprint compatibility with legacy LMC7101 designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4321EUK-T employs a dual-input-stage architecture-comprising complementary NPN and PNP differential pairs-to achieve true rail-to-rail common-mode input range (VEE to VCC) without phase reversal. Its output stage uses a Class AB topology capable of sourcing/sinking >50mA to drive 250Ω loads within 200mV of either rail.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, the device maintains 64° phase margin and 12dB gain margin while delivering 0.003% THD+N at 10kHz and 2Vpp output. Input noise density is 22nV/√Hz at 1kHz, and input capacitance is 3pF - supporting stable high-impedance sensor interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-bandwidth product | 5MHz - supports closed-loop bandwidth up to ~4.8MHz at AV = +1, suitable for anti-aliasing and active filtering. |
| Slew rate | 2V/µs - enables clean 10kHz sine-wave amplification at 2Vpp without distortion in low-power systems. |
| Input offset voltage | ±1.2mV (typ) - ensures ≤0.024% gain error in 12-bit ADC front-ends with 5V full-scale reference. |
| Quiescent current | 650µA (typ at +5V) - allows continuous operation for >1 year on a 200mAh coin cell in portable instrumentation. |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Input CM range: VEE to VCC; Output swing: within 200mV of rails into 250Ω - maximizes dynamic range in 1.8–6.5V single-supply rails. |
| Capacitive load drive | Stable with ≤500pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors in ADC buffer or DAC output stages. |
| Supply range | +2.4V to +6.5V (single); ±1.2V to ±3.25V (dual) - interoperable with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4321EUK-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Class AB rail-to-rail driver capable of sourcing/sinking >50mA; connects directly to ADC input or transducer load. |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive supply | Accepts +2.4V to +6.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic + ≥1µF bulk bypass to ground for stability. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | High-impedance node (500kΩ typical); matched impedance to IN− reduces bias-current-induced offset. |
| 4 (IN−) | Inverting input | Differential pair input; polarity-sensitive in active-filter configurations; protected by 1kΩ series resistors. |
| 5 (VEE) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply use; must be tied to system GND - not left floating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Extends from VEE to VCC - enables direct sensing of signals near supply rails (e.g., battery voltage monitoring at 0.1V above GND). |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous output during transient input excursions beyond rails - critical for sensor fault tolerance. |
| Unity-gain stable with 500pF load | Eliminates external compensation components when buffering SAR ADCs or driving long PCB traces. |
| Low input voltage noise density | 22nV/√Hz at 1kHz - preserves SNR in low-level thermocouple or bridge-sensor amplification chains. |
| Pin-for-pin upgrade for LMC7101 | Direct drop-in replacement with 5× higher bandwidth and 2× faster slew rate - accelerates design reuse without layout change. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Instrumentation | Data-Acquisition Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMC7101M5X | 1MHz GBW, 0.6V/µs SR, ±2.5mV VOS (max), same SOT23-5 pinout | Limited to lower-bandwidth sensor buffers; unsuitable for >10kHz signal paths | Select only when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/accuracy needs and layout reuse is mandatory. |
| MCP6001T-E/OT | 1MHz GBW, 0.6V/µs SR, 1.5mV VOS (max), same 5-pin SOT23 but different pin mapping (OUT=6, VDD=5, etc.) | Requires PCB redesign due to non-pin-compatible pinout; lacks 500pF capacitive load stability | Consider only for new designs where Microchip's AEC-Q200 qualification or extended temp range (+125°C) is required. |
Compared with LMC7101M5X and MCP6001T-E/OT, the MAX4321EUK-T provides superior bandwidth, slew rate, and capacitive-load robustness in identical SOT23-5 packaging - making it the optimal choice for time-critical, low-voltage precision analog signal chains where layout continuity and performance headroom are essential.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating supply voltage for MAX4321EUK-T?
The MAX4321EUK-T is guaranteed to operate from +2.4V to +6.5V on single supply, but characterization data shows functional operation down to +1.8V (±0.9V) across the -40°C to +85°C range. This makes MAX4321EUK-T viable for deep-discharge battery scenarios where voltage sags below 2.4V, though parameters like GBW and SR scale linearly with supply.
Does MAX4321EUK-T require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the MAX4321EUK-T is internally compensated and remains unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 500pF. Unlike many high-speed op amps, it does not require an external isolation resistor or feedback capacitor to maintain phase margin - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count in ADC buffer or filter applications.
Can MAX4321EUK-T drive a 250Ω load to both supply rails?
Yes, the MAX4321EUK-T drives 250Ω loads to within 200mV of either rail under typical conditions. At VCC = +5V and RL = 250Ω to ground, VOH ≥ 4.8V and VOL ≤ 200mV are specified - confirming rail-to-rail output capability even under moderate load, which is essential for maximizing ADC utilization in low-voltage systems.
Is MAX4321EUK-T pin-compatible with LMC7101?
Yes, MAX4321EUK-T is explicitly designed as a pin-for-pin upgrade for LMC7101 in SOT23-5 packaging. Pin functions (OUT, VCC, IN+, IN−, VEE) match identically, allowing direct replacement without PCB modification - while delivering five-times higher bandwidth and two-times faster slew rate.
What is the input protection scheme used in MAX4321EUK-T?
The MAX4321EUK-T incorporates 1kΩ series resistors on both inputs plus back-to-back triple diodes across IN+ and IN−. For differential voltages <1.8V, input resistance is ~500kΩ; above 1.8V, it drops to ~2kΩ, limiting input current per the equation IBIAS = (VDIFF − 1.8V)/2kΩ - protecting against ESD and overvoltage events without compromising normal operation.
