Product details
Overview
MAX4335EXT+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for 32Ω headphone driver applications in portable, battery-powered systems. It delivers 50mA output current, features 5MHz gain-bandwidth product, operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V single supply, and achieves 0.003% THD at 20kHz into 10kΩ - enabling high-fidelity audio output in ultra-compact SC70-6 packages.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4335EXT+T datasheet, MAX4335EXT+T pinout, MAX4335EXT+T application, or MAX4335EXT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail I/O swing under 32Ω load, shutdown-mode leakage (<0.5μA), PSRR (90dB), thermal overload protection, and SC70-6 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4335EXT+T employs a BiCMOS rail-to-rail input stage combining NPN and PNP differential pairs to extend common-mode range beyond both rails (GND to VCC), with switchover near VCC/2 to minimize CMRR degradation. Its output stage supports full swing into 32Ω loads while maintaining <400mV headroom from either rail at VCC = 2.7V.
It integrates smart short-circuit protection (110mA current limit activated only when |VOUT − GND| > 1V or |VCC − VOUT| > 1V) and thermal overload shutdown (trip at +140°C, auto-recovery at +120°C). The device lacks shutdown functionality - unlike MAX4336EXT+T - and is specified across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V single supply - enables direct integration with Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) or dual-cell alkaline systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Drive Capability | 50mA into 32Ω - sufficient to deliver ≥40mW per channel for loud, low-distortion headphone output. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 5MHz - supports stable unity-gain buffer configurations and preserves audio fidelity up to 20kHz with margin. |
| THD + Noise | 0.003% at 20kHz into 10kΩ - meets high-fidelity audio requirements for line-level buffering and DAC output stages. |
| PSRR | 90dB (typ) - eliminates need for dedicated LDOs in noisy battery-powered systems; rejects supply ripple effectively. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.6mV (typ), ±3mV (max) - ensures minimal DC error in precision gain-setting or DC-coupled signal paths. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.2–1.8mA per amplifier at 2.7–5.5V - balances performance and battery life in always-on portable audio paths. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4335EXT+T is housed in a 6-pin SC70-6 package (package code X6SN+1, outline 21-0077), measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm - suitable for ultra-dense portable PCB layouts. Pin 1 is marked with top-side laser trim code "AAX".
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Amplifier output - rail-to-rail capable; drives 32Ω headphones directly; high-impedance during thermal shutdown. |
| 2 | IN− | Inverting input - accepts feedback network; input bias current polarity changes near VCC/2 due to dual-input-stage architecture. |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be low-impedance; shared with system AGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 | IN+ | Noninverting input - rail-to-rail common-mode range (GND to VCC); matched external impedance reduces offset error. |
| 5 | SHDN (N.C.) | No connection - internally unconnected; not functional on MAX4335EXT+T (shutdown is exclusive to MAX4336/MAX4338). |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply - bypass with 0.1μF ceramic + ≥1μF bulk capacitor close to pin to ensure stability and PSRR performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-Rail Input/Output | Enables full dynamic range utilization from GND to VCC in single-supply 2.7–5.5V systems - critical for maximizing SNR in portable audio. |
| 50mA Output Current | Drives 32Ω loads to ≥40mW with <400mV voltage headroom - eliminates need for external boost stages in headphone amplification. |
| 90dB PSRR | Rejects battery and digital supply noise without pre-regulation - simplifies power architecture and reduces BOM cost. |
| Thermal Overload Protection | Auto-shutdown at +140°C junction temperature with recovery at +120°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained high-power output. |
| Smart Short-Circuit Protection | Limits output current to 110mA only when VOUT > 1V (sink) or VCC − VOUT > 1V (source) - preserves safe operation during transient faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4336EXT+T | Identical SC70-6 package and pinout, but adds active-low SHDN pin (pin 5) enabling <0.04μA shutdown current. | Required where system-level power gating or mute sequencing is needed - e.g., Bluetooth headset auto-mute on disconnect. | Select MAX4336EXT+T if shutdown control is mandatory; MAX4335EXT+T is preferred for fixed-on, lower-complexity audio paths. |
| OPA365AIDBVR | SC70-5 package (no SHDN pin), 50MHz GBWP, 25V/μs slew rate, but only 30mA output drive into 32Ω and no thermal protection. | Suited for wideband signal conditioning (e.g., sensor front-ends), not optimized for sustained 40mW headphone drive. | Choose OPA365AIDBVR for bandwidth-critical non-audio applications; MAX4335EXT+T remains superior for robust, high-current audio output. |
Compared with MAX4336EXT+T, MAX4335EXT+T omits shutdown logic - reducing quiescent current variability and simplifying layout - while retaining identical audio performance and protection features. Against OPA365AIDBVR, MAX4335EXT+T trades bandwidth for higher output current, integrated thermal safety, and proven 32Ω headphone drive capability.

FAQ
Does MAX4335EXT+T support shutdown mode?
No, MAX4335EXT+T does not include a shutdown function. Pin 5 is labeled "SHDN (N.C.)" and is internally unconnected. Shutdown capability is exclusive to MAX4336EXT+T and MAX4338EUB+, which feature active-low SHDN pins that reduce supply current to <0.04μA and place outputs in high-impedance state. For MAX4335EXT+T, power must be removed externally to disable the amplifier.
What is the maximum continuous output power into 32Ω for MAX4335EXT+T?
At VCC = 2.7V, MAX4335EXT+T delivers ≥40mW into 32Ω (2VP-P swing), verified by its guaranteed 50mA output current and rail-to-rail output swing within 400mV of both rails. Power dissipation must remain below 245mW (SC70-6 absolute max at +70°C), so sustained 40mW output requires proper thermal design - especially above +70°C ambient.
Can MAX4335EXT+T drive a 100Ω load with full rail-to-rail swing?
Yes - MAX4335EXT+T maintains rail-to-rail output swing into 100Ω loads: at VCC = 5V, output swing is within 190mV of VCC and 240mV of GND (typical). However, output current capability drops to ~35mA at those extremes. For 100Ω, it supports ≥100mW with <0.02% THD at 10kHz, making it suitable for line drivers and instrumentation buffers.
Is MAX4335EXT+T compatible with ceramic coupling capacitors in headphone applications?
Yes - MAX4335EXT+T is fully compatible with ceramic coupling capacitors (e.g., 100μF X5R) in AC-coupled headphone driver configurations. Its rail-to-rail input allows direct connection to the capacitor's output, and its high PSRR (90dB) minimizes ripple-induced noise. Use a 0.1μF ceramic + ≥1μF bulk capacitor on VCC to maintain stability with capacitive loads up to 200pF.
What protection features are built into MAX4335EXT+T?
MAX4335EXT+T includes thermal overload protection (shuts down at +140°C junction, recovers at +120°C) and smart short-circuit protection (limits output current to 110mA only when VOUT > 1V in sink mode or VCC − VOUT > 1V in source mode). It also features internal input ESD protection (±2kV HBM) and absolute maximum ratings covering −0.3V to +6V on VCC and GND-referenced pin limits.
