Ultra-Small, 1.8V, µPower,
Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amps
MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294
General Description
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 family of micropow-
er operational amplifiers operates from a 1.8V to 5.5V
single supply or ±0.9V to ±2.75V dual supplies and has
Rail-to-Rail
®
input/output capabilities. These amplifiers
provide a 500kHz gain-bandwidth product and 120dB
open-loop voltage gain while using only 100µA of sup-
ply current per amplifier. The combination of low input
offset voltage (±200µV) and high open-loop gain makes
them ideal for low-power/low-voltage, high-precision
portable applications.
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 have an input com-
mon-mode range that extends to each supply rail, and
their outputs swing to within 46mV of the rails with a 2kΩ
load. Although the minimum operating voltage is speci-
fied at 1.8V, these devices typically operate down to
1.5V. The combination of ultra-low-voltage operation, rail-
to-rail inputs/output, and low-power consumption makes
these devices ideal for any portable/two-cell battery-pow-
ered system.
The single MAX4291 is offered in an ultra-small 5-pin
SC70 package. The dual MAX4292 is offered in a
space-saving 8-bump, 1.5mm X 1.5mm footprint, ultra
chip-scale package (UCSP™).

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.
