MAX4238/MAX4239
General Description
The MAX4238/MAX4239 are low-noise, low-drift, ultrahigh precision amplifiers that offer near-zero DC offset
and drift through the use of patented autocorrelating
zeroing techniques. This method constantly measures
and compensates the input offset, eliminating drift over
time and temperature and the effect of 1/f noise. Both
devices feature rail-to-rail outputs, operate from a single
2.7V to 5.5V supply, and consume only 600µA. An activelow shutdown mode decreases supply current to 0.1µA.
The MAX4238 is unity-gain stable with a gain-bandwidth
product of 1MHz, while the decompensated MAX4239
is stable with AV ≥ 10V/V and a GBWP of 6.5MHz. The
MAX4238/MAX4239 are available in 8-pin narrow SO,
6-pin TDFN and SOT23 packages.

Note 1: Guaranteed by design. Thermocouple and leakage effects preclude measurement of this parameter during production
testing. Devices are screened during production testing to eliminate defective units.
Note 2: IN+ and IN- are gates to CMOS transistors with typical input bias current of 1pA. CMOS leakage is so small that it is
impractical to test and guarantee in production. Devices are screened during production testing to eliminate defective units.
Note 3: Leakage does not include leakage through feedback resistors.
Note 4: Overload recovery time is the time required for the device to recover from saturation when the output has been
driven to either rail.
Note 5: Specifications are 100% tested at TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.

The MAX4238/MAX4239 are high-precision amplifiers
that have less than 2.5µV of input-referred offset and low
1/f noise. These characteristics are achieved through a
patented autozeroing technique that samples and cancels
the input offset and noise of the amplifier. The pseudorandom
clock frequency varies from 10kHz to 15kHz, reducing
intermodulation distortion present in chopper-stabilized
amplifiers.
www.maximintegrated.com
To achieve very low offset, several sources of error common
to autozero-type amplifiers need to be considered. The
first contributor is the settling of the sampling capacitor.
This type of error is independent of input-source impedance,
or the size of the external gain-setting resistors. Maxim
uses a patented design technique to avoid large changes
in the voltage on the sampling capacitor to reduce settling
time errors.
The second error contributor, which is present in both
autozero and chopper-type amplifiers, is the charge injection
from the switches. The charge injection appears as current
spikes at the input, and combined with the impedance
seen at the amplifier’s input, contributes to input offset
voltage. Minimize this feedthrough by reducing the size of
the gain-setting resistors and the input-source impedance.
A capacitor in parallel with the feedback resistor reduces
the amount of clock feedthrough to the output by limiting
the closed-loop bandwidth of the device.
The design of the MAX4238/MAX4239 minimizes the
effects of settling and charge injection to allow specification
of an input offset voltage of 0.1µV (typ) and less than
2.5µV over temperature (-40°C to +85°C).
1/f Noise
1/f noise, inherent in all semiconductor devices, is inversely
proportional to frequency. 1/f noise increases 3dB/octave
and dominates amplifier noise at lower frequencies. This
noise appears as a constantly changing voltage in series
with any signal being measured. The MAX4238/MAX4239
treat 1/f noise as a slow varying offset error, inherently
canceling the 1/f noise.

Autozeroing amplifiers typically require a substantial amount
of time to recover from an output overload. This is due to the
time it takes for the null amplifier to correct the main amplifier
to a valid output. The MAX4238/MAX4239 require only
3.3ms to recover from an output overload (see Electrical
Characteristics and Typical Operating Characteristics).

Shutdown
The MAX4238/MAX4239 feature a low-power (0.1µA)
shutdown mode. When SHDN is pulled low, the clock
stops and the device output enters a high-impedance
state. Connect SHDN to VCC for normal operation.
Applications Information
ADC Buffer Amplifier
The low offset, fast settling time, and 1/f noise cancellation
of the MAX4238/MAX4239 make these devices ideal for
ADC buffers. The MAX4238/MAX4239 are well suited
for low-speed, high-accuracy applications, such as strain
gauges (see Typical Application Circuit).

Minimum and Maximum Gain Configurations
The MAX4238 is a unity-gain stable amplifier with a
gain-bandwidth product (GBWP) of 1MHz. The MAX4239
is decompensated for a GBWP of 6.5MHz and is stable
with a gain of 10V/V. Unlike conventional operational
amplifiers, the MAX4238/MAX4239 have a maximum
gain specification. To maintain stability, set the gain of the
MAX4238 between AV = 1000V/V to 1V/V, and set the
gain of the MAX4239 between AV = 6700V/V and 10V/V.

Error Budget Example
When using the MAX4238/MAX4239 as an ADC buffer,
the temperature drift should be taken into account when
determining the maximum input signal. With a typical offset
drift of 10nV/°C, the drift over a 10°C range is 100nV.
Setting this equal to 1/2LSB in a 16-bit system yields a
full-scale range of 13mV. With a single 2.7V supply, an
acceptable closed-loop gain is AV = 200. This provides
sufficient gain while maintaining headroom.
