Product details
Overview
MAX4323ESA from Maxim Integrated is a single, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, low-power signal conditioning in precision data-acquisition systems. It delivers 5MHz gain-bandwidth, 650µA quiescent current per amplifier, ±700µV offset voltage (typ), and drives 250Ω loads - enabling high-fidelity analog front-ends in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4323ESA datasheet, MAX4323ESA pinout, MAX4323ESA application, or MAX4323ESA equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown functionality (25µA mode), rail-to-rail operation down to 2.4V supply, output swing within 350mV of rails at 5V/250Ω, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX4323ESA uses a dual-stage bipolar input architecture (NPN/PNP) to achieve rail-to-rail common-mode range (VEE to VCC) without phase reversal on overdrive. Its unity-gain stability supports capacitive loads up to 500pF, and internal shutdown logic places outputs in high-impedance state when SHDN ≤ 0.8V.
Designed for single-supply operation (2.4V–6.5V), it maintains 66dB large-signal voltage gain into 250Ω at +25°C and exhibits <2µs settling time to 0.01% for 2V steps - critical for fast-settling ADC driver stages in portable test equipment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 5MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 500kHz for anti-aliasing filter buffering. |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 650µA (typ @ 2.4V) - supports >100-hour battery life in handheld data loggers. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±700µV (typ @ +25°C) - ensures ≤3.5mV error in 5V full-scale 12-bit systems. |
| Output Voltage Swing | VOL–VEE ≤ 350mV, VCC–VOH ≤ 400mV @ 250Ω - preserves >93% dynamic range at 3V supply. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 25µA (max @ +25°C) - reduces system standby power by >96% vs active mode. |
| Slew Rate | 2V/µs - supports 100kHz full-power sine wave output with <1% distortion. |
| Common-Mode Rejection Ratio | 62dB (min @ –40°C to +85°C) - rejects >800µV of supply ripple in noisy embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4323ESA is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package compliant with JEDEC MS-012, 150-mil body width, 1.27mm lead pitch. Thermal resistance θJA = 170°C/W enables operation at full rating up to +85°C ambient.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Amplifier output - rail-to-rail swing, high-impedance during shutdown. |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input - matched bias current path; requires impedance balancing to minimize offset. |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input - accepts signals from VEE to VCC; no phase reversal on overdrive. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply / ground reference - must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic + 1µF bulk capacitor. |
| 5 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control - internal 1µA pull-up; ≤0.8V disables amplifier and asserts high-Z output. |
| 6 | N.C. | No connection - not internally bonded; leave unconnected per design. |
| 7 | VCC | Positive supply - operates from 2.4V to 6.5V single supply or ±1.2V to ±3.25V dual supplies. |
| 8 | N.C. | No connection - not internally bonded; leave unconnected per design. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O | Enables full 0–VCC signal swing in single-supply 3V systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| 25µA shutdown mode | Reduces total system quiescent current to µA-level for wake-on-event sensor nodes. |
| 5MHz GBWP at 650µA | Delivers bandwidth-per-power ratio 3× higher than legacy low-power op amps (e.g., LMV321). |
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous ADC codes when inputs exceed supply rails in transient conditions. |
| Stable with 500pF capacitive load | Eliminates need for isolation resistors when driving ADC input capacitance or long PCB traces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV321IDBVR | Lower GBWP (1MHz), no shutdown, higher offset (1.8mV max), SOT23-5 package. | Lacks rail-to-rail output swing at 2.4V; unsuitable for 3V full-scale ADC drivers. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth and shutdown requirements. |
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Higher quiescent current (100µA), no shutdown, 1MHz GBWP, same SO-8 footprint. | Cannot drive 250Ω loads with rail-to-rail swing below 2.7V; limited for low-voltage precision use. | Choose for ultra-low-power sleep modes where shutdown is managed externally. |
Compared with LMV321IDBVR and MCP6001T-E/OT, the MAX4323ESA provides 5× higher bandwidth, integrated shutdown, and guaranteed rail-to-rail operation down to 2.4V - making it uniquely suited for high-fidelity, battery-operated signal chains requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4323ESA can drive stably?
The MAX4323ESA is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 500pF without external compensation. This is verified in the datasheet's Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure 4) and confirmed by transient response testing (Figures 5–6). Driving larger loads requires an isolation resistor (e.g., 39Ω) in series with the output to maintain phase margin.
Does the MAX4323ESA require external components for single-supply bypassing?
Yes - the MAX4323ESA requires local bypassing at the VCC and VEE pins: a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with ≥1µF bulk capacitance. This is specified in the "Power Supplies and Layout" section to suppress supply noise and prevent oscillation, especially critical given its 5MHz bandwidth and 650µA quiescent current.
What is the function of pins 6 and 8 on the MAX4323ESA SO-8 package?
Pins 6 and 8 on the MAX4323ESA are No Connect (N.C.) - they are not internally bonded and serve no electrical function. The datasheet Pin Description table explicitly lists them as "N.C." and advises leaving them unconnected. Routing traces or applying solder to these pins may introduce parasitic coupling or mechanical stress.
How does the MAX4323ESA's shutdown mode affect output state?
When the SHDN pin is pulled ≤0.8V, the MAX4323ESA enters shutdown mode: supply current drops to 25µA (max), and the output is placed in a high-impedance state. This is distinct from output clamping or forced low - the output floats electrically, allowing safe multiplexing or isolation in multi-channel systems without loading downstream circuitry.
Is the MAX4323ESA pin-compatible with other op amps in the MAX432x family?
No - the MAX4323ESA (SO-8) is not pin-compatible with MAX4323EBT (UCSP-6) or MAX4323EUT-T (SOT23-6). While all share identical electrical functionality, the SO-8 variant has dedicated N.C. pins (6,8) and different pin assignments (e.g., SHDN on pin 5), whereas UCSP/SOT23 variants route SHDN to pin 6 and omit N.C. connections entirely.
