Product details
Overview
MAX4323ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, battery-powered precision signal conditioning. It delivers 5MHz gain-bandwidth, 650µA quiescent current per amplifier, ±700µV typical input offset voltage, and operates from 2.4V to 6.5V single supply - enabling high-accuracy analog front-ends in portable data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4323ESA+T datasheet, MAX4323ESA+T pinout, MAX4323ESA+T application, or MAX4323ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its shutdown capability (25µA), 250Ω load drive, unity-gain stability with up to 500pF capacitive loads, rail-to-rail swing at 3V supply, and SO-8 package compatibility for legacy board reuse.
Technical Context
The MAX4323ESA+T employs a bipolar process with complementary NPN/PNP input stages to achieve true rail-to-rail input common-mode range (VEE to VCC) and output swing within millivolts of both rails. Its architecture supports stable operation with capacitive loads up to 500pF without external compensation.
It features an internal 1µA pull-up on the SHDN pin, enabling simple logic-level control: pulling SHDN ≤0.8V disables the amplifier and places the output in high-impedance state while reducing supply current to 25µA; floating or tying SHDN to VCC enables normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 5MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~500kHz at unity gain for sensor buffering and anti-aliasing filter driving. |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 650µA at VCC = 2.4V - supports >100-hour runtime in coin-cell–powered instrumentation. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±700µV max (TA = +25°C) - ensures <1mV error in 12-bit ADC front-end with 2.5V reference. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 200mV of rails at RL = 250Ω - delivers full dynamic range from 0.2V to 4.8V on 5V supply. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 25µA - reduces system standby power by >96% versus active mode. |
| Capacitive-Load Stability | Stable with CL ≤ 500pF - eliminates need for isolation resistors when driving ADC input capacitance or long traces. |
| Slew Rate | 2V/µs - supports clean 100kHz sine-wave output at 2VP-P without distortion. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4323ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 150-mil body width and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Amplifier output - drives 250Ω loads directly; high-impedance during shutdown. |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input - accepts signals across full rail-to-rail common-mode range (VEE to VCC). |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input - matched bias current path to IN− for minimal offset error in transimpedance designs. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply / ground - referenced to system ground in single-supply configurations. |
| 5 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control - internal 1µA pull-up allows enable-by-default operation; no external pull-up required. |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply - accepts 2.4V to 6.5V; requires 0.1µF ceramic + ≥1µF bulk bypassing. |
| 7 | N.C. | No connection - not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB. |
| 8 | N.C. | No connection - not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail Input/Output | Enables full-scale signal capture and delivery in 3V systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low-Power Shutdown Mode | Reduces ICC to 25µA while placing output in high-Z - ideal for time-sliced sensing architectures. |
| Unity-Gain Stable with Capacitive Loads | Operates reliably with up to 500pF directly at output - simplifies interface to SAR ADCs and RF filters. |
| No Phase Reversal on Overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous output polarity when inputs exceed common-mode range - critical for fault-tolerant sensor interfaces. |
| Single-Supply Operation (2.4V–6.5V) | Eliminates dual-rail generation in portable equipment - compatible with Li-ion, Li-poly, and two-AA battery stacks. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Data Acquisition | Portable Medical Sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rail-to-rail, low-power op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2462CDR | Higher quiescent current (650µA vs. 550µA typ), lower GBW (6.4MHz), no shutdown pin | Lacks integrated shutdown; requires external enable logic for power cycling | Select when shutdown functionality is unnecessary and higher speed is prioritized over lowest standby power |
| AD8601ARZ | Lower offset (60µV max), lower noise (12nV/√Hz), but no shutdown and higher ICC (1.3mA) | Optimized for ultra-precision DC applications, not low-power portable use | Select when offset and noise dominate requirements and battery life is secondary |
Compared with TLV2462CDR and AD8601ARZ, the MAX4323ESA+T uniquely balances sub-1mV offset, 5MHz bandwidth, and integrated shutdown in an SO-8 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems requiring both precision and power gating.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4323ESA+T can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4323ESA+T is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 500pF, as verified in the datasheet's AC Electrical Characteristics and Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure 4). Driving larger loads requires an isolation resistor (e.g., 39Ω) in series with the output to restore phase margin, as shown in Figure 6. This capability eliminates external compensation in most data-acquisition and ADC-driving applications.
Does the MAX4323ESA+T require an external pull-up resistor on the SHDN pin?
No, the MAX4323ESA+T includes an internal 1µA pull-up on the SHDN pin. Leaving SHDN unconnected enables the amplifier by default. An external pull-down (≤50kΩ) is only needed to actively assert shutdown; no external pull-up is required or recommended.
Can the MAX4323ESA+T operate from a 3.3V supply and still achieve rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes - with a 3.3V supply and RL = 250Ω to ground, the MAX4323ESA+T delivers an output swing from within 200mV of VEE (0V) to within 200mV of VCC (3.3V), i.e., ~0.2V to 3.1V. This is confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table (VO parameter) and Figure 3 of the datasheet.
What is the input bias current behavior near the supply rails, and how does it affect design?
The MAX4323ESA+T uses complementary NPN/PNP input pairs, causing input bias current polarity reversal near VCC/2. To minimize offset error, match source impedances at IN+ and IN− (per Figures 1a/1b). At VCM = VEE or VCC, IB is ±50nA typ; mismatched impedances >10kΩ will introduce measurable offset voltage.
Is the MAX4323ESA+T pin-compatible with other op amps in the SO-8 package footprint?
The MAX4323ESA+T uses a nonstandard SO-8 pinout: Pins 7 and 8 are N.C., and SHDN is on Pin 5 - unlike industry-standard SO-8 op amps (e.g., LM358, TL072) where Pin 5 is typically unused or offset null. PCB layout must follow the MAX4323-specific pin map; direct replacement without redesign is not possible.
