MAX40242
20V, Low Input Bias-Current,
Low-Noise, Dual Op Amp
General Description
The MAX40242 provides a combination of high voltage,
low noise, low input bias current in a dual channel and
features rail-to-rail at the output.
This dual amplifier operates over a wide supply voltage
range from a single 2.7V to 20V supply or split ±1.35V
to ±10V supplies and consumes only 1.2mA quiescent
supply current per channel.
The MAX40242 is a unity-gain stable amplifier with a
gain-bandwidth product of 10MHz. The device outputs
drive up to 200pF load capacitor without any external
isolation resistor compensation.
The MAX40242 is available in 8-thin wafer-level
packages (WLPs) and is rated for operation over the
-40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

Detailed Description
Integrated EMI Filter
Input Bias Current
The MAX40242 has an input EMI filter to avoid the output
from getting affected by radio frequency interference. The
EMI filter, composed of passive devices, presents significant
higher impedance to higher frequencies.
Combining high input impedance, low input bias current,
wide bandwidth, and fast settling time, the MAX40242 is
an ideal amplifier for driving precision analog-to-digital
inputs and buffering digital-to-analog converter outputs.
The MAX40242 features a high-impedance CMOS input
stage and a special ESD structure that allows low
input bias current operation at low-input, common-mode
voltages. Low input bias current is useful when interfacing
with high-ohmic or capacitive sensors and is beneficial
for designing transimpedance amplifiers for photodiode
sensors. This makes the device ideal for groundreferenced medical and industrial sensor applications.
www.maximintegrated.com
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise occurs at higher
frequency that results in malfunction or degradation of
electrical equipment.
High Supply Voltage Range
The device features 1.2mA current consumption per
channel and a voltage supply range from either 2.7V to
20V single supply or ±1.35V to ±10V split supply.

Typical Application Circuit
High-Impedance Sensor Application
High impedance sources like pH sensor, photodiodes in
applications require negligible input leakage currents to the
input transimpedance/buffer structure. The MAX40242
benefits with clean and precise signal conditioning due to
its input structure.
The device interfaces to both current-output sensors
(photodiodes) (Figure 1), and high-impedance voltage
sources (piezoelectric sensors). For current output
sensors, a transimpedance amplifier is the most noiseefficient method for converting the input signal to a
voltage. High-value feedback resistors are commonly
chosen to create large gains, while feedback capacitors help stabilize the amplifier by cancelling any poles
introduced in the feedback loop by the highly capacitive
sensor or cabling. A combination of low-current noise
and low-voltage noise is important for these applications.
Take care to calibrate out photodiode dark current if DC
accuracy is important. The high bandwidth and slew
rate also allow AC signal processing in certain medical
photodiode sensor applications such as pulse-oximetry.
For voltage-output sensors, a noninverting amplifier is
typically used to buffer and/or apply a small gain to the
input voltage signal. Due to the extremely high impedance of the sensor output, a low input bias current with
minimal temperature variation is very important for these
applications.
Transimpedance Amplifier
As shown in Figure 1, the noninverting pin is biased at
2V with C2 added to bypass high-frequency noise. This
bias voltage to reverse biases the photodiode D1 at 2V
which is often enough to minimize the capacitance across
the junction. Hence, the reverse current (IR) produced
by the photodiode as light photons are incident on it, a
proportional voltage is produced at the output of the
amplifier by the given relation:
VOUT
= IR × R1
The addition of C1 is to compensate for the instability
caused due to the additional capacitance at the input
(junction capacitance Cj and input capacitance of the
op amp CIN), which results in loss of phase margin.
More information about stabilizing the transimpedance
amplifier can be found in Application Note 5129:
