Fixed-Gain, GainAmp/Open-Loop Op Amps
General Description
The MAX4074–MAX4078 GainAmp™ op amp family
combines low-cost Rail-to-Rail
®
op amps with precision
internal gain-setting resistors. Factory-trimmed on-chip
resistors decrease design size, cost, and layout, and
provide 0.1% gain accuracy. Fixed inverting gains from
-0.25V/V to -100V/V or noninverting gains from +1.25V/V
to +101V/V are available. These devices operate from a
single +2.5V to +5.5V supply and consume just 34µA.
GainAmp amplifiers are optimally compensated for each
gain version, achieving gain bandwidth (GBW) products
up to 4MHz (A
V
= +25V/V to +101V/V). High-voltage
fault protection withstands ±17V at either input without
damage or excessive current draw (MAX4074/MAX4075
only).
Two versions are available in this amplifier family. The
MAX4076/MAX4077/MAX4078 are single/dual/quad
open-loop, unity-gain-stable op amps, and the
MAX4074/MAX4075 are single/dual fixed-gain op
amps. The input common-mode voltage range of the
open-loop amplifiers extends from 150mV below the
negative supply to within 1.2V of the positive supply.
The GainAmp outputs can swing rail-to-rail and drive a
1kΩ load while maintaining excellent DC accuracy
(MAX4074/MAX4075 only). The amplifiers are stable for
capacitive loads up to 100pF.
For space-critical applications, the MAX4074/MAX4076
are available in space-saving SOT23-5 packages.

Note 1:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 3:
The input common-mode range for IN_+ is guaranteed by a functional test. A similar test is done on the IN_- input. See the
Applications Information
section for more information on the input voltage range of the GainAmps.
Note 4:
For A
V
= -0.5V/V and A
V
= -0.25V/V, the output voltage swing may be limited by the input voltage range.
Note 5:
Includes noise from on-chip resistors.
Note 6:
The gain accuracy test is performed with the GainAmps in the noninverting configuration. The output voltage swing is limit-
ed by the input voltage range for certain gains and supply voltage conditions. For situations where the output voltage swing
is limited by the valid input range, the output limits are adjusted accordingly.
