The MAX4475–MAX4478/MAX4488/MAX4489 wideband, low-noise, low-distortion operational amplifiers
offer rail-to-rail outputs and single-supply operation
down to 2.7V. They draw 2.2mA of quiescent supply
current per amplifier while featuring ultra-low distortion
(0.0002% THD+N), as well as low input voltage-noise
density (4.5nV/√Hz) and low input current-noise density
(0.5fA/√Hz). These features make the devices an ideal
choice for applications that require low distortion and/or
low noise.
For power conservation, the MAX4475/MAX4488 offer
a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 0.01µA and places the amplifiers’ outputs into a
high-impedance state. These amplifiers have outputs
which swing rail-to-rail and their input common-mode
voltage range includes ground. The MAX4475–MAX4478
are unity-gain stable with a gain-bandwidth product
of 10MHz. The MAX4488/4489 are internally compensated for gains of +5V/V or greater with a gain-bandwidth product of 42MHz. The single MAX4475/MAX4476/
MAX4488 are available in space-saving, 6-pin SOT23
and TDFN packages.

All devices are 100% tested at TA = +25°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
SHDN is available on the MAX4475/MAX4488 only.
Guaranteed by the PSRR test.
Guaranteed by design.
Full-power bandwidth for unity-gain stable devices (MAX4475–MAX4478) is measured in a closed-loop gain of +2V/V to
accommodate the input voltage range, VOUT = 4VP-P.
Note 6: Lowpass-filter bandwidth is 22kHz for f = 1kHz and 80kHz for f = 20kHz. Noise floor of test equipment = 10nV/√Hz.

SOT23, Low-Noise, Low-Distortion,
Wide-Band, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
Detailed Description
The MAX4475–MAX4478/MAX4488/MAX4489 singlesupply operational amplifiers feature ultra-low noise and
distortion. Their low distortion and low noise make them
ideal for use as preamplifiers in wide dynamic-range applications, such as 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (see
Typical Operating Circuit). Their high-input impedance and
low noise are also useful for signal conditioning of high-impedance sources, such as piezoelectric transducers.
These devices have true rail-to-rail output operation, drive
loads as low as 1kΩ while maintaining DC accuracy, and
can drive capacitive loads up to 200pF without oscillation.
The input common-mode voltage range extends from
(VDD - 1.6V) to 200mV below the negative rail. The pushpull output stage maintains excellent DC characteristics,
while delivering up to ±5mA of current.
The MAX4475–MAX4478 are unity-gain stable, while
the MAX4488/MAX4489 have a higher slew rate and are
stable for gains ≥ 5V/V. The MAX4475/MAX4488 feature
a low-power shutdown mode, which reduces the supply
current to 0.01µA and disables the outputs.

Low Distortion
Many factors can affect the noise and distortion that the
device contributes to the input signal. The following guidelines offer valuable information on the impact of design
choices on Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Choosing proper feedback and gain resistor values for
a particular application can be a very important factor in
reducing THD. In general, the smaller the closed-loop
gain, the smaller the THD generated, especially when
driving heavy resistive loads. The THD of the part normally increases at approximately 20dB per decade, as a
function of frequency. Operating the device near or above
the full-power bandwidth significantly degrades distortion.
Referencing the load to either supply also improves the
part’s distortion performance, because only one of the
MOSFETs of the push-pull output stage drives the output.
Referencing the load to midsupply increases the part’s
distortion for a given load and feedback setting. (See
the Total Harmonic Distortion vs. Frequency graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.)

Figure 2b. Pulse Response with 10pF Feed-Forward
Compensation
For gains ≥ 5V/V, the decompensated devices MAX4488/
MAX4489 deliver the best distortion performance, since
they have a higher slew rate and provide a higher
amount of loop gain for a given closed-loop gain setting.
Capacitive loads below 100pF do not significantly affect
distortion results. Distortion performance is relatively constant over supply voltages.

SOT23, Low-Noise, Low-Distortion,
Wide-Band, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
Low Noise
The amplifier’s input-referred noise-voltage density is
dominated by flicker noise at lower frequencies, and by
thermal noise at higher frequencies. Because the thermal
noise contribution is affected by the parallel combination
of the feedback resistive network (RF || RG, Figure 1),
these resistors should be reduced in cases where the
system bandwidth is large and thermal noise is dominant.
This noise contribution factor decreases, however, with
increasing gain settings.
For example, the input noise-voltage density of the
circuit with RF = 100kΩ, RG = 11kΩ (AV = +5V/V) is
en = 14nV/√Hz, en can be reduced to 6nV/√Hz by choosing RF = 10kΩ, RG = 1.1kΩ (AV = +5V/V), at the expense
of greater current consumption and potentially higher
distortion. For a gain of 100V/V with RF = 100kΩ, RG =
1.1kΩ, the en is still a low 6nV/√Hz.

Using a Feed-Forward Compensation
Capacitor, CZ
The amplifier’s input capacitance is 10pF. If the resistance
seen by the inverting input is large (feedback network),
this can introduce a pole within the amplifier’s bandwidth
resulting in reduced phase margin. Compensate the
reduced phase margin by introducing a feed-forward
capacitor (CZ) between the inverting input and the output (Figure 1). This effectively cancels the pole from the
inverting input of the amplifier. Choose the value of CZ
as follows:
CZ = 10 x (RF / RG) [pF]
In the unity-gain stable MAX4475–MAX4478, the use
of a proper CZ is most important for AV = +2V/V, and
AV = -1V/V. In the decompensated MAX4488/MAX4489,
CZ is most important for AV = +10V/V. Figures 2a and 2b
show transient response both with and without CZ.
Using a slightly smaller CZ than suggested by the formula
above achieves a higher bandwidth at the expense of
reduced phase and gain margin. As a general guideline,
consider using CZ for cases where RG || RF is greater
than 20kΩ (MAX4475–MAX4478) or greater than 5kΩ
(MAX4488/MAX4489).
Applications Information
The MAX4475–MAX4478/MAX4488/MAX4489 combine
good driving capability with ground-sensing input and
rail-to-rail output operation. With their low distortion and
low noise, they are ideal for use in ADC buffers, medical
instrumentation systems and other noise-sensitive applications.

Figure 4. Rail-to-Rail Output Operation
Ground-Sensing and Rail-to-Rail Outputs
The common-mode input range of these devices extends
below ground, and offers excellent common-mode rejection. These devices are guaranteed not to undergo phase
reversal when the input is overdriven (Figure 3).
Figure 4 showcases the true rail-to-rail output operation
of the amplifier, configured with AV = 5V/V. The output
swings to within 8mV of the supplies with a 10kΩ load,
making the devices ideal in low-supply voltage applications.
Power Supplies and Layout
The MAX4475–MAX4478/MAX4488/MAX4489 operate
from a single +2.7V to +5.5V power supply or from dual
supplies of ±1.35V to ±2.75V. For single-supply operation, bypass the power supply with a 0.1µF ceramic

dual supplies, bypass each supply to ground.
Good layout improves performance by decreasing the
amount of stray capacitance and noise at the op amp’s
inputs and output. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize PC board trace lengths and resistor leads, and place
external components close to the op amp’s pins.
Typical Application Circuit
The Typical Application Circuit shows the single MAX4475 configured as an output buffer for the
MAX5541 16-bit DAC. Because the MAX5541 has an
unbuffered voltage output, the input bias current of the
op amp used must be less than 6nA to maintain 16-bit
accuracy. The MAX4475 has an input bias current of
only 150pA (max), virtually eliminating this as a source

of error. In addition, the MAX4475 has excellent openloop gain and common-mode rejection, making this an
excellent output buffer amplifier.
DC-Accurate Lowpass Filter
The MAX4475–MAX4478/MAX4488/MAX4489 offer a
unique combination of low noise, wide bandwidth, and
high gain, making them an excellent choice for active
filters up to 1MHz. The Typical Operating Circuit shows
the dual MAX4477 configured as a 5th order Chebyschev
filter with a cutoff frequency of 100kHz. The circuit is
implemented in the Sallen-Key topology, making this a
DC-accurate filter.
