Product details
Overview
MAX4334ESD+T from Maxim Integrated is a quad, low-power, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply, low-voltage signal conditioning. It delivers 3MHz gain-bandwidth, 245µA per amplifier quiescent current, ±0.25mV typical input offset voltage, rail-to-rail output swing within 125mV of rails (at 2kΩ load), and operates from +2.3V to +6.5V. It is used in portable data-acquisition front-ends where precision, low power, and wide common-mode range are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4334ESD+T datasheet, MAX4334ESD+T pinout, MAX4334ESD+T application, or MAX4334ESD+T equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown capability (not present in this variant), quad-channel integration in SO-14, rail-to-rail I/O performance at 2.3V min supply, and verified 2kΩ drive strength with <125mV rail margin - all validated across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX4334ESD+T implements a dual-stage rail-to-rail input architecture using complementary NPN/PNP differential pairs, enabling common-mode voltage operation from VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V. Its output stage uses Class AB topology capable of sourcing/sinking ≥20mA into 2kΩ loads while maintaining rail-to-rail swing.
This quad op amp lacks integrated shutdown control (unlike MAX4331/MAX4333), and its SO-14 package supports four independent amplifiers with shared VCC/VEE pins and no dedicated SHDN lines. It is unity-gain stable and exhibits no phase reversal under overdriven inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 3MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~300kHz at AV = 10, suitable for anti-aliasing and sensor buffering. |
| Quiescent Current per Amp | 245µA (typ) - enables battery-powered operation >1 year on a CR2032 cell when driving high-impedance loads. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.25mV (max, –40°C to +85°C) - ensures ≤0.5LSB error in 12-bit systems with 2V full-scale range. |
| Output Swing (2kΩ load) | VCC – 125mV / VEE + 125mV (typ) - preserves dynamic range in 3.3V or 2.5V systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VEE – 0.25V to VCC + 0.25V - accepts signals beyond supply rails, simplifying interfacing with external sensors or DACs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.3V to +6.5V single supply - compatible with Li-ion, 3-cell alkaline, and regulated 3.3V/5V rails. |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | 75dB (min, –40°C to +85°C) - provides ≥180V/V open-loop gain for accurate closed-loop gain setting with <0.1% error. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4334ESD+T is housed in a 14-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions (8.65mm × 3.90mm × 1.75mm). Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin numbering follows counterclockwise convention from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 8, 13 | OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4 | Amplifier outputs - each drives independently; high-impedance state only via external disable (no internal shutdown). |
| 2, 6, 9, 12 | IN1–, IN2–, IN3–, IN4– | Inverting inputs - matched impedance required to minimize bias-current-induced offset errors. |
| 3, 7, 10, 14 | IN1+, IN2+, IN3+, IN4+ | Noninverting inputs - accept rail-to-rail common-mode signals; protected by 1kΩ series resistors and diode clamps. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply / ground reference - substrate tied internally; must be connected to system ground in single-supply use. |
| 11 | VCC | Positive supply - requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to VEE for stability and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal | Prevents output latch-up during input overdrive - eliminates need for external clamping in sensor front-ends. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full dynamic range at low supply voltages (e.g., 2.3V), maximizing SNR in battery-constrained designs. |
| Unity-gain stable | Enables direct use in voltage-follower configurations without external compensation components. |
| Capacitive load stability | Remains stable with up to 150pF load - supports direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces. |
| Low input bias current | ±1nA (max, –40°C to +85°C) - minimizes voltage drop across high-impedance sensor networks (e.g., pH electrodes). |
Applications
| Portable ECG Monitor Front-End | Industrial 4–20mA Loop Receiver |

Use Scenario: Interfaces electrochemical gas sensors (e.g., CO, NO₂) requiring low-noise, low-drift amplification at sub-100µA supply currents. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as transimpedance amplifier for current-output sensors; rail-to-rail input accommodates varying sensor bias points. Use Value: 2.3V minimum supply allows direct use with energy-harvesting power sources; 28nV/√Hz input noise preserves weak sensor signals. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2464IDR | Higher quiescent current (550µA/amp), lower GBW (6.4MHz), no rail-to-rail input (CMVR = VSS to VDD – 1.5V). | Suitable for higher-speed, non-rail-to-rail applications where supply headroom permits. | Select TLV2464IDR only if speed >3MHz is required and input common-mode range beyond rails is unnecessary. |
| AD8604ARUZ | Lower quiescent current (240µA/amp), same GBW (8MHz), rail-to-rail I/O, but higher offset (±600µV max) and no guaranteed 2.3V operation. | Better for precision DC-coupled apps above 2.7V supply; less robust at ultra-low voltage. | Choose AD8604ARUZ when offset drift or noise dominates over supply flexibility; avoid below 2.7V. |
Compared with MAX4334ESD+T, TLV2464IDR trades rail-to-rail input capability for higher bandwidth and AD8604ARUZ offers lower noise but sacrifices guaranteed sub-2.7V operation and tighter offset spec - making MAX4334ESD+T optimal for battery-powered, wide-input-range, low-voltage precision signal chains.

FAQ
Does MAX4334ESD+T include a shutdown feature?
No, MAX4334ESD+T does not integrate a shutdown function. Unlike MAX4331/MAX4333 variants, it lacks SHDN pins and remains active whenever powered. To achieve low-power standby, external power gating or supply sequencing must be implemented. The MAX4334ESD+T datasheet confirms no shutdown-related specifications (e.g., ICC(SHDN), tSHDN) are defined for this part.
What is the maximum capacitive load MAX4334ESD+T can drive stably?
MAX4334ESD+T is stable driving up to 150pF capacitive load with appropriate resistive termination (e.g., 10kΩ to mid-supply), as confirmed in the Capacitive Load Stability graph (Figure TOC21) of the official datasheet. Driving >150pF without isolation resistance risks peaking or oscillation due to phase margin degradation.
Can MAX4334ESD+T operate from a 2.0V supply?
While the absolute minimum specified supply is +2.3V, the MAX4334ESD+T typically functions down to +2.0V per the datasheet's "Typical Operating Characteristics" section (Figure TOC18). However, parameters like GBW, CMRR, and output swing degrade below 2.3V, and full specification compliance is not guaranteed at 2.0V.
Is MAX4334ESD+T pin-compatible with other MAX433x variants in SO-14?
No - MAX4334ESD+T (quad, no shutdown) uses a unique SO-14 pinout distinct from dual-amplifier variants like MAX4332ESA (SO-8) or MAX4333ESD (SO-14 with SHDN1/SHDN2). Its SO-14 layout dedicates pins 1/5/8/13 to outputs and has no shutdown terminals, making it incompatible with pin-for-pin replacement of any other MAX433x SO-packaged part.
What is the input protection scheme on MAX4334ESD+T?
MAX4334ESD+T features internal 1kΩ series resistors on both inputs plus back-to-back triple-diode stacks across IN+/IN–, limiting differential input fault current and clamping voltages to safe levels. This protects against ±10V transient overvoltage events and prevents latch-up during sensor disconnection or hot-plug scenarios.
