_______________Detailed Description
Rail-to-Rail Input Stage
The MAX4040–MAX4044 have rail-to-rail inputs and
rail-to-rail output stages that are specifically designed
for low-voltage, single-supply operation. The input
stage consists of separate NPN and PNP differential
stages, which operate together to provide a common-
mode range extending to both supply rails. The
crossover region of these two pairs occurs halfway
between V
CC
and V
EE
. The input offset voltage is typi-
cally 200µV. Low operating supply voltage, low supply
current, rail-to-rail common-mode input range, and rail-
to-rail outputs make this family of operational amplifiers
an excellent choice for precision or general-purpose,
low-voltage battery-powered systems.
Since the input stage consists of NPN and PNP pairs,
the input bias current changes polarity as the common-
mode voltage passes through the crossover region.
Match the effective impedance seen by each input to
reduce the offset error caused by input bias currents
flowing through external source impedances (Figures
1a and 1b). The combination of high source impedance
plus input capacitance (amplifier input capacitance
plus stray capacitance) creates a parasitic pole that
produces an underdamped signal response. Reducing
input capacitance or placing a small capacitor across
the feedback resistor improves response in this case.

The MAX4040–MAX4044 family’s inputs are protected
from large differential input voltages by internal 2.2k
series resistors and back-to-back triple-diode stacks
across the inputs (Figure 2). For differential input volt-
ages (much less than 1.8V), input resistance is typically
45M. For differential input voltages greater than 1.8V,
input resistance is around 4.4k, and the input bias
current can be approximated by the following equation:
I
BIAS
= (V
DIFF
- 1.8V) / 4.4k
In the region where the differential input voltage
approaches 1.8V, the input resistance decreases expo-
nentially from 45M to 4.4k as the diode block begins
conducting. Conversely, the bias current increases with
the same curve.
Rail-to-Rail Output Stage
The MAX4040–MAX4044 output stage can drive up to a
25k load and still swing to within 60mV of the rails.
Figure 3 shows the output voltage swing of a MAX4040
configured as a unity-gain buffer, powered from a single
+4.0V supply voltage. The output for this setup typically
swings from (V
EE
+ 10mV) to (V
CC
- 10mV) with a 100k
load.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Considerations
The MAX4040–MAX4044 operate from a single +2.4V to
+5.5V supply (or dual ±1.2V to ±2.75V supplies) and
consume only 10µA of supply current per amplifier. A
high power-supply rejection ratio of 85dB allows the
amplifiers to be powered directly off a decaying battery
voltage, simplifying design and extending battery life.
Power-Up Settling Time
The MAX4040–MAX4044 typically require 200µs to
power up after V
CC
is stable. During this start-up time,
the output is indeterminant. The application circuit
should allow for this initial delay.
