Product details
Overview
MXL1013MJ8 from Maxim Integrated is a dual precision operational amplifier in an 8-pin CERDIP package, rated for -55°C to +125°C operation. It delivers 40µV max input offset voltage, 0.3µV/°C drift, 117dB CMRR, and 120dB PSRR while consuming only 350µA per amplifier. It supports single-supply operation down to +5V with rail-to-rail output swing near ground - ideal for thermocouple amplifiers and 4–20mA current-loop transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MXL1013MJ8 datasheet, MXL1013MJ8 pinout, MXL1013MJ8 application, or MXL1013MJ8 equivalent, this page provides verified pin assignments, real-world use cases in battery-powered instrumentation and active filters, confirmed alternatives with documented parameter differences, and supply-chain context for legacy component sourcing.
Technical Context
The MXL1013MJ8 implements a precision bipolar input stage with guaranteed high open-loop gain (1.5 million min at 5mA load), low voltage noise (0.55µVp-p, 0.1Hz–10Hz), and low current noise (0.07pA/√Hz). Its input common-mode range extends to ground and output can sink >20mA while swinging within 15mV of ground under no-load conditions.
Designed for legacy industrial and aerospace systems requiring extended temperature reliability, it maintains stable performance across ±15V and +5V/0V supplies. Channel separation exceeds 123dB, and long-term offset stability is specified to ensure calibration integrity over time in strain-gauge signal conditioners.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 40µV typical; enables sub-100µV system-level DC error in precision sensor front-ends |
| Offset Voltage Drift | 0.3µV/°C typical; ensures <1.5µV total drift over full -55°C to +125°C range |
| CMRR | 117dB typical; rejects >70k:1 common-mode interference in noisy industrial environments |
| PSRR | 120dB typical; suppresses power supply ripple to <1µV/V at output |
| Supply Current per Amp | 350µA typical; allows dual-amp operation on microamp-level battery budgets |
| Output Swing (Low) | 15mV above ground (no load); supports true single-supply signal conditioning down to 0V reference |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | 1.5 million min at 5mA load; guarantees ≥60dB loop gain for stable closed-loop configurations |
Pinout & Package
MXL1013MJ8 uses an 8-pin CERDIP (ceramic dual in-line package) with hermetic sealing suitable for military and high-reliability applications. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are tin-lead plated and compatible with standard wave-solder processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INA+) | Inverting input of Amplifier A | Differential input node for first op-amp channel; referenced to ground in single-supply configurations |
| 2 (V−) | Negative supply rail | Connects to ground in +5V single-supply mode; must be decoupled locally |
| 3 (INB+) | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B | Second independent input channel; shares same supply rails as Amplifier A |
| 4 (INB−) | Inverting input of Amplifier B | Configurable for inverting gain stages or differential inputs with INA− |
| 5 (INA−) | Inverting input of Amplifier A | Primary feedback node for A-channel; used in transimpedance or precision integrator designs |
| 6 (OUTA) | Output of Amplifier A | Capable of sourcing/sinking >20mA; swings to within 15mV of V− (ground) when sinking |
| 7 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +5V (single) or ±15V (dual); PSRR ensures regulation immunity up to 120dB |
| 8 (OUTB) | Output of Amplifier B | Independent output with identical drive capability and swing specs as OUTA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation | Operates from +5V/0V with input range including ground and output swing to within 15mV of ground - eliminates level-shifting in portable instrumentation |
| Guaranteed high open-loop gain | 1.5 million minimum at 5mA load ensures stable closed-loop behavior even with heavy capacitive loads or low-resistance feedback networks |
| Low 0.1Hz–10Hz noise | 0.55µVp-p enables accurate DC-coupled amplification of thermocouple and strain-gauge signals without 1/f noise corruption |
| Low current noise | 0.07pA/√Hz - lower than OP07 - critical for high-impedance sensor interfaces like piezoelectric or pH electrodes |
| Extended temperature range | -55°C to +125°C operation validated per MIL-STD-883 methods - qualified for avionics and downhole equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1013CN8 | Higher 125µV max offset voltage; 0.6µV/°C max drift; 110dB CMRR; SO-8 package only | Not qualified for -55°C operation; lacks CERDIP packaging for hermetic reliability | Preferred for commercial-grade cost-sensitive designs where extended temp is not required |
| OP27GP | Lower 25µV max offset but higher 1.2mA supply current; 0.6µV/°C drift; DIP-8 only | Not specified for single-supply operation; output does not swing to ground | Suitable for dual-supply high-speed applications but incompatible with +5V-only systems using MXL1013MJ8 |
Compared with LT1013CN8 and OP27GP, the MXL1013MJ8 uniquely combines military-grade temperature range, CERDIP packaging, single-supply rail-to-ground operation, and ultra-low drift - making it irreplaceable in legacy aerospace and downhole telemetry systems where requalification is prohibitive.

Manufacturer
Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices) designed high-performance analog and mixed-signal ICs for industrial, automotive, and communications markets before its 2021 acquisition.

FAQ
Is MXL1013MJ8 still recommended for new designs?
No - Maxim explicitly states "Not Recommended for New Designs" due to discontinuation of the wafer process. The MXL1013MJ8 remains available for existing designs and legacy system repair, but new projects should evaluate modern alternatives like MAX44260 or AD8628 with comparable precision and extended temperature support.
What does the "MJ8" suffix indicate for MXL1013MJ8?
The "MJ8" suffix denotes an 8-pin CERDIP package with -55°C to +125°C operating temperature range and compliance with MIL-STD-883 screening requirements. It distinguishes this variant from plastic DIP (e.g., MXL1013IN8) and SO-8 (e.g., MXL1013AMJ8) versions.
Can MXL1013MJ8 operate from a single +5V supply?
Yes - the MXL1013MJ8 supports true single-supply operation: input common-mode range includes ground, and output swings to within 15mV of ground while sinking current. This enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers and ADCs without level-shifting circuitry.
How does MXL1013MJ8 compare to LT1013 in pin compatibility?
The MXL1013MJ8 is pin-compatible with LT1013 in 8-pin DIP configurations, sharing identical pinout (INA+, V−, INB+, INB−, INA−, OUTA, V+, OUTB). However, LT1013 does not offer a CERDIP variant with -55°C to +125°C rating - limiting its use in high-reliability applications where MXL1013MJ8 is specified.
What is the maximum output current capability of MXL1013MJ8?
The MXL1013MJ8 can source and sink more than 20mA per amplifier - verified under ±15V supply conditions. In +5V/0V operation, it sustains 1mA sink current with output low ≤350mV and drives 600Ω loads to 3.4V minimum high-level output, enabling direct 4–20mA loop driving without external transistors.
