Product details
Overview
The MAX4493AXK-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-power, dual-supply systems (±2.25V to ±5.5V) and single-supply operation (+4.5V to +11V). It delivers 5MHz gain-bandwidth, 770µA quiescent current per amplifier, and output swing within 10mV of either rail (RL = 100kΩ), making it suitable for precision signal conditioning in battery-powered industrial sensors and DAC output buffering.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4493AXK-T datasheet, MAX4493AXK-T pinout, MAX4493AXK-T application, or MAX4493AXK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), 110dB open-loop gain, rail-to-rail input voltage range extending 200mV below VEE, and SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4493AXK-T employs a bipolar process and features unity-gain stability with no phase reversal under overdriven inputs. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from VEE – 0.2V to VCC – 1.5V, while the output stage drives loads up to 1kΩ with <200mV rail margin at full swing.
It achieves 0.002% THD+N at 1kHz and maintains stable operation with capacitive loads up to 300pF without external compensation-enabling direct interface with ADC inputs, reference buffers, and analog front-ends in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.25V to ±5.5V dual or +4.5V to +11V single - supports wide-range industrial and automotive power rails |
| Quiescent Current | 770µA per amplifier - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 5MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters and moderate-speed sensor signal amplification |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE – 0.2V to VCC – 1.5V - accommodates ground-referenced inputs in dual-supply systems |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 10mV of rails (RL = 100kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage data acquisition |
| Open-Loop Gain | 110dB (RL = 100kΩ) - ensures high DC accuracy in closed-loop configurations |
| THD+N | 0.002% at 1kHz - preserves signal fidelity in audio and precision measurement paths |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4493AXK-T is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (package code X5-1), measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.9mm, with exposed pad not electrically connected. This ultra-compact footprint supports high-density routing in compact modules and automotive ECUs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN+) | Noninverting Input | High-impedance node accepting signals down to VEE – 0.2V; requires low-noise layout |
| 2 (IN−) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; matched to IN+ for offset minimization in feedback networks |
| 3 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | Capable of sourcing/sinking 15mA; stable with ≤300pF load or ≥15Ω isolation resistor |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative Supply | Must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to ground; defines lower rail for input/output swing |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to ground; sets upper rail and bandwidth limit |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No Phase Reversal on Overdrive | Prevents latch-up or erroneous output transitions when inputs exceed common-mode range |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Stage | Enables direct interface with 0V-referenced sensors and DACs without level-shifting circuitry |
| Automotive Temperature Rating | –40°C to +125°C operation validated per AEC-Q100 stress test requirements |
| Low Input Bias Current | 0.2–1µA typical - reduces error in high-impedance source applications like pH probes |
| Capacitive-Load Stability | Stable with up to 300pF directly on output - eliminates need for external compensation in ADC driver designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMV321IDBVR | CMOS input (vs. bipolar), higher input impedance but lower GBW (1MHz), 65°C max operating temp | Not rated for automotive use; unsuitable for >85°C industrial enclosures | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where temperature and precision are secondary |
| TSV911ICT | RRIO, 8MHz GBW, 160µA IQ, but only specified to +105°C and lacks AEC-Q100 validation | Lacks extended temperature validation; may require derating in automotive under-hood locations | Consider for non-automotive industrial designs needing higher speed and lower power, with thermal margin |
Compared with LMV321IDBVR and TSV911ICT, the MAX4493AXK-T provides verified automotive-grade reliability, superior open-loop gain (110dB vs. ~90dB), and guaranteed performance across –40°C to +125°C-making it the preferred choice for safety-critical or thermally demanding signal chains where long-term parametric stability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX4493AXK-T?
The MAX4493AXK-T is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C, meeting automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. This range is fully validated across all electrical parameters including input offset voltage, gain-bandwidth, and output swing-no derating is required for use in engine control units or industrial motor drives.
Does the MAX4493AXK-T support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4493AXK-T operates from a single supply of +4.5V to +11V. Its input common-mode range extends to VEE – 0.2V, enabling ground-referenced inputs even when VEE = 0V. The rail-to-rail output ensures full dynamic range utilization-for example, delivering 0–4.5V output with a +4.5V supply and 100kΩ load.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4493AXK-T can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4493AXK-T remains stable with capacitive loads up to 300pF when configured as a unity-gain buffer. For larger loads (e.g., ADC input capacitance >300pF), a 15Ω isolation resistor in series with the output restores stability without significant overshoot, as confirmed in the device's Typical Operating Characteristics (Figure 23).
Is the MAX4493AXK-T pin-compatible with other op amps in the MAX449x family?
No-the MAX4493AXK-T (SC70-5) has a unique 5-pin pinout distinct from the 8-pin MAX4494 and 14-pin MAX4495 variants. While functional behavior is consistent across the family, PCB layout and footprint must be designed specifically for the SC70-5 package used by the MAX4493AXK-T.
What is the typical input offset voltage drift of the MAX4493AXK-T over temperature?
The MAX4493AXK-T exhibits a typical input offset voltage drift of 3µV/°C across –40°C to +125°C. This low drift, combined with a maximum 10mV initial offset, ensures minimal gain error accumulation in precision integrators or long-duration sensor signal conditioning circuits.
