Product details
Overview
MAX4486AUA+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from +2.7V to +5.5V, featuring 7MHz gain-bandwidth product, ±10mV max input offset voltage over temperature, and stable operation with up to 100pF capacitive loads - used in portable communicators and sensor signal detection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4486AUA+T datasheet, MAX4486AUA+T pinout, MAX4486AUA+T application, or MAX4486AUA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output swing into 2kΩ, ground-sensing inputs, no phase reversal on overdrive, 85dB large-signal voltage gain, and μMAX-8 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial and automotive sensing nodes.
Technical Context
The MAX4486AUA+T implements a CMOS-input, rail-to-rail output stage enabling full-swing operation within 50mV of VDD and VSS while driving 2kΩ loads. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports capacitive load tolerance up to 100pF without external compensation.
It features ground-sensing inputs (common-mode range extends to VSS), no phase reversal under overdriven conditions, and maintains 62dB minimum CMRR and PSRR across –40°C to +125°C - critical for precision signal conditioning in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 7MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~1MHz at gain ≥7, suitable for anti-aliasing and active filtering. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports direct interfacing with Li-ion battery systems and 3.3V/5V logic without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±10.0mV (–40°C to +125°C) - sets DC error floor in sensor amplification stages requiring <1% accuracy. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 50mV of VDD/VSS into 2kΩ - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply data acquisition front-ends. |
| Capacitive Load Stability | Stable with ≤100pF - allows direct connection to ADC input capacitance or long PCB traces without oscillation. |
| Input Bias Current | ±100pA (max) - preserves high-impedance source integrity in photodiode or thermopile amplifier designs. |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | 62dB min into 2kΩ (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures predictable closed-loop gain stability across industrial temperature range. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4486AUA+T is housed in an 8-pin μMAX package (package code U8-1), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - drives external load with rail-to-rail swing; requires local 0.1μF bypass to VSS. |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input for Channel A - accepts differential or single-ended signals; high-impedance node sensitive to layout. |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input for Channel A - supports ground-referenced inputs down to VSS; matched to INA− for common-mode rejection. |
| 4 | VSS | Negative supply terminal - must be connected directly to low-impedance ground plane; shared return for both amplifiers. |
| 5 | INB− | Inverting input for Channel B - electrically isolated from Channel A; enables dual-path signal processing without crosstalk >70dB. |
| 6 | INB+ | Noninverting input for Channel B - identical input structure to INA+; supports independent biasing per channel. |
| 7 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - independently buffered; usable for feedback paths or cascaded gain stages. |
| 8 | VDD | Positive supply terminal - supplies both amplifiers; requires dedicated 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to VSS near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal on overdrive | Prevents latch-up or false triggering when input exceeds common-mode range - essential for zero-crossing detectors. |
| Ground-sensing inputs | Common-mode range includes VSS, enabling direct interface with 0V-referenced sensors like thermocouples or current shunts. |
| 7MHz unity-gain bandwidth | Supports 10-bit ADC sampling at 1MSPS with <0.1% settling error using simple RC filter compensation. |
| 85dB AVOL into 2kΩ | Ensures <0.01% gain error in precision instrumentation amplifiers with 100× closed-loop gain. |
| 0.01% THD into 2kΩ | Maintains audio-grade signal fidelity in IR receiver baseband amplification and portable communicator analog front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2462IDR | Lower GBW (6.4MHz), higher VOS (±2mV typ), 1.2mA supply current per amp | Better DC precision but reduced bandwidth margin for fast transient response | Preferred where ultra-low offset dominates over speed; not drop-in due to different pinout (SO-8 vs μMAX-8) |
| LMV358IDGKR | Lower GBW (1MHz), wider VOS range (±7mV max), rail-to-rail input/output, 150μA supply current | Optimized for ultra-low power, not high-speed signal conditioning | Selected for battery life-critical applications; requires PCB redesign due to DGK (VSS/OUTA/INA−/INA+/VDD/INB−/INB+/OUTB) pin mapping |
Compared with TLV2462IDR and LMV358IDGKR, the MAX4486AUA+T delivers superior bandwidth-to-power ratio (7MHz at 2.2mA) and guaranteed 100pF capacitive load stability - making it optimal for compact, high-fidelity sensor interfaces where layout area and signal integrity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4486AUA+T can drive without instability?
The MAX4486AUA+T is unity-gain stable with capacitive loads up to 100pF, as verified across –40°C to +125°C. This specification allows direct interface with ADC input capacitance or long PCB traces without external isolation resistors. Exceeding 100pF may cause peaking or oscillation; for larger loads, a series resistor (e.g., 10Ω–100Ω) between MAX4486AUA+T output and the load is recommended to restore stability.
Does the MAX4486AUA+T support true rail-to-rail input operation?
No - the MAX4486AUA+T features rail-to-rail *output* swing but has ground-sensing inputs, meaning its common-mode input range extends to VSS (0V) but only up to VDD – 1.4V. This allows interfacing with 0V-referenced sensors while maintaining CMRR >62dB. True rail-to-rail input would require additional internal circuitry not present in the MAX4486AUA+T design.
What is the typical supply current per amplifier in the MAX4486AUA+T at +5.0V?
The typical supply current per amplifier in the MAX4486AUA+T is 2.2mA at VDD = +5.0V and TA = +25°C, with a maximum of 3.5mA over temperature. This quiescent current enables efficient operation in battery-powered devices while sustaining 7MHz bandwidth and rail-to-rail output drive into 2kΩ loads - a key trade-off advantage over lower-power alternatives like the LMV358IDGKR.
Can the MAX4486AUA+T be used in a single-supply zero-crossing detector without external components?
Yes - the MAX4486AUA+T's no-phase-reversal behavior on overdriven inputs and rail-to-rail output make it suitable for zero-crossing detection with minimal external parts. Configure one amplifier as a comparator with hysteresis using two resistors, and use the second amplifier to buffer a mid-supply reference (e.g., VDD/2). No external level shifters or clamping diodes are needed, simplifying design for portable and automotive applications using MAX4486AUA+T.
What package type does the MAX4486AUA+T use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The MAX4486AUA+T uses the 8-pin μMAX package (U8-1), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm with an exposed thermal pad. The "+" suffix in the part number indicates RoHS compliance per Maxim Integrated's standard. This package offers superior thermal performance and board-area efficiency compared to SO-8, making it ideal for compact sensor modules and portable equipment where the MAX4486AUA+T is deployed.
