Differential Microphone Preamplifiers with
Internal Bias and Complete Shutdown
General Description
The MAX4060/MAX4061/MAX4062 are differential-input
microphone preamplifiers optimized for notebook and
PDA audio systems. These devices feature adjustable
gain with excellent power-supply rejection and com-
mon-mode rejection ratios, making them ideal for low-
noise applications in portable audio systems.
The MAX4060/MAX4062 are capable of switching their
output between the differential input and a single-
ended auxiliary microphone amplifier input. In addition,
the MAX4060/MAX4062 have a low-noise microphone
bias generator. The differential gain of the
MAX4061/MAX4062 is set with a single resistor. The
MAX4060 has a fixed gain of 10V/V and is PC99/2001
compliant. The MAX4061 includes a complete shut-
down mode. In shutdown, the supply current is
reduced to 0.3µA and the current to the microphone
bias is cut off for ultimate power savings.
The MAX4060 operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V single sup-
ply and the MAX4061/MAX4062 operate from 2.4V to
5.5V. All devices are specified over the extended oper-
ating temperature range, -40°C to +85°C. The
MAX4060/MAX4061 are available in tiny 8-pin TDFN
(3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm) and 8-pin µMAX
®
packages.
The MAX4062 is available in a 10-pin µMAX package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
