Product details
Overview
MAX4489ASA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-noise, low-distortion, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity signal conditioning in precision analog systems. It features 42MHz gain-bandwidth product (AV ≥ +5V/V), 0.0005% THD+N at 1kHz with 1kΩ load, 4.5nV/√Hz input voltage-noise density, and operates from a single +2.7V to +5.5V supply. It is used in ADC buffer stages for 16-bit data acquisition systems where DC accuracy and wide dynamic range are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4489ASA+ datasheet, MAX4489ASA+ pinout, MAX4489ASA+ application, or MAX4489ASA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in sensor and medical signal chains, and two confirmed alternative op amps with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX4489ASA+ is a decompensated dual op amp internally stable only for closed-loop gains of +5V/V or greater - unlike unity-gain-stable variants (e.g., MAX4477). Its 10V/µs slew rate and 42MHz GBW enable fast settling (2µs to 0.01%) while maintaining ultra-low distortion across audio and instrumentation bandwidths.
It integrates ground-sensing inputs (common-mode range extends to VSS − 0.1V) and true rail-to-rail outputs (within 80mV of rails at 1kΩ load), supporting single-supply operation without level-shifting. Input bias current is ≤150pA, enabling accurate amplification of high-impedance sources like piezoelectric transducers and strain gauges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 42MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation at AV ≥ +5V/V with usable bandwidth up to ~8MHz at AV = +5. |
| THD+N (1kHz, RL = 1kΩ) | 0.0005% - preserves signal integrity in 16-bit DAC output stages and medical preamplifiers. |
| Input Voltage-Noise Density | 4.5nV/√Hz at 1kHz - ensures minimal noise contribution when amplifying µV-level sensor signals. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports direct interfacing with Li-ion battery-powered and 3.3V/5V embedded systems. |
| Input Bias Current | ±150pA max - avoids significant offset error when driving high-Z sources (e.g., >1MΩ bridge sensors). |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 80mV of VDD/VSS at 1kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage, single-supply applications. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 2.5mA per amplifier at VDD = 5V - balances speed and power for always-on precision signal paths. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4489ASA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package (Package Code: S8+4), with exposed thermal pad not present in SO variant. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram (Rev 11, p.15).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Output of Amplifier A - drives loads down to 1kΩ while maintaining rail-to-rail swing and DC accuracy. |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input of Amplifier A - accepts differential or single-ended feedback configurations; input capacitance = 10pF. |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - common-mode range includes VSS − 0.1V, enabling ground-referenced sensing. |
| 4 | VSS | Negative supply / ground reference - must be connected to system ground for single-supply operation. |
| 5 | VDD | Positive supply - bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for stable high-frequency operation. |
| 6 | INB+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier B - electrically isolated from Amplifier A; supports independent dual-channel signal paths. |
| 7 | INB− | Inverting input of Amplifier B - matched AC/DC characteristics to INA−; enables identical gain configurations per channel. |
| 8 | OUTB | Output of Amplifier B - fully independent output stage; no crosstalk degradation above −90dB at 10kHz (typ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise, decompensated architecture | 42MHz GBW + 10V/µs slew rate enables high-speed, low-distortion amplification at AV ≥ +5V/V. |
| Ground-sensing input stage | Input common-mode range extends to VSS − 0.1V, allowing direct interface with 0V-referenced sensors and transducers. |
| Rail-to-rail output with 1kΩ drive | Delivers full output swing (e.g., 0.08V to 4.92V at VDD = 5V) into 1kΩ loads - critical for maximizing ADC input range. |
| Ultra-low THD+N | 0.0005% at 1kHz/2VP-P into 1kΩ ensures <0.001 LSB error in 16-bit systems operating near full scale. |
| High open-loop gain & CMRR | 120dB large-signal voltage gain and 115dB CMRR (typ) maintain accuracy despite supply or common-mode noise. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2188AIDR | Zero-drift architecture (0.005µV/°C VOS drift), lower 1/f noise, but 2MHz GBW and 0.8V/µs slew rate. | Better DC precision and long-term stability; unsuitable for >100kHz closed-loop gain ≥ +5V/V. | Select for ultra-stable DC-coupled sensor interfaces where bandwidth <200kHz suffices. |
| ADA4898-2ARMZ | 100MHz GBW, 210V/µs slew rate, higher 1.1nV/√Hz noise, no rail-to-rail output (clips ~1.2V from rails). | Superior speed and drive strength; requires dual supply or level-shifting for single-supply rail-to-rail output. | Select for high-speed active filters or video buffering where noise <4.5nV/√Hz is secondary to bandwidth. |
Compared with OPA2188AIDR and ADA4898-2ARMZ, the MAX4489ASA+ uniquely balances 42MHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail output, 4.5nV/√Hz noise, and 0.0005% THD+N in a cost-effective SO-8 package - making it optimal for precision, single-supply, medium-bandwidth signal chains.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for MAX4489ASA+?
The MAX4489ASA+ is internally compensated for closed-loop gains of +5V/V or greater. It is not unity-gain stable. Attempting to use it at AV = +1V/V may cause oscillation or degraded phase margin. For unity-gain applications, consider the MAX4477 instead. The 42MHz GBW and 80° phase margin at AV = +5V/V ensure robust stability in high-speed filter and gain-stage designs.
Does MAX4489ASA+ include a shutdown feature?
No, MAX4489ASA+ does not include a shutdown pin. Shutdown functionality is only available on single-amplifier variants: MAX4475 and MAX4488. The MAX4489ASA+ is a dual op amp without SHDN capability - its quiescent current remains at 2.5mA per amplifier (5mA total) under all operating conditions.
What is the maximum capacitive load drive capability of MAX4489ASA+?
The MAX4489ASA+ maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 200pF, as specified in the datasheet. Driving larger loads (e.g., >500pF) requires external isolation resistance (e.g., 10–50Ω in series with the output) or careful compensation network design to prevent peaking or oscillation, especially in unity-gain follower configurations.
Is MAX4489ASA+ qualified for automotive applications?
No, MAX4489ASA+ is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Automotive-grade versions are explicitly marked with "/V" suffix (e.g., MAX4489ASA/V+T). The MAX4489ASA+ is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) but lacks automotive qualification documentation, stress testing, or PPAP support required for automotive ECUs or ADAS modules.
Can MAX4489ASA+ operate from a 3.3V single supply?
Yes, MAX4489ASA+ operates from +2.7V to +5.5V single supply. At VDD = 3.3V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing (within ~80mV of 0V and 3.3V), maintains 0.0005% THD+N at 1kHz, and draws 2.2mA per amplifier. Its input common-mode range includes ground, enabling direct interface with 0V-referenced sensors - ideal for portable 3.3V systems.
