Single/Dual/Quad, 28MHz, Low-Noise,
Low-Voltage, Precision Op Amps
The MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 single/dual/quad op
amps set a new standard for noise performance in
high-speed, low-voltage systems. Input voltage-noise
density is guaranteed to be less than 2.4nV/√Hz at
1kHz. A unique design not only combines low noise
with ±5V operation, but also consumes 2.5mA supply
current per amplifier. Low-voltage operation is guaranteed with an output voltage swing of 7.3VP-P into 2kΩ
from ±5V supplies. The MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 also
operate from supply voltages between ±2.4V and ±5V
for greater supply flexibility.
Unity-gain stability, 28MHz bandwidth, and 4.5V/µs
slew rate ensure low-noise performance in a wide variety of wideband and measurement applications. The
MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 are available in DIP and SO
packages in the industry-standard single/dual/quad op
amp pin configurations. The single comes in an ultrasmall TDFN package (3mm 3mm).

Note 1: The amplifier inputs are connected by internal back-to-back clamp diodes. In order to minimize noise in the input stage, currentlimiting resistors are not used. If differential input voltages exceeding ±1.0V are applied, limit input current to 20mA.
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.

MAX410/MAX412/MAX414
Single/Dual/Quad, 28MHz, Low-Noise,
Low-Voltage, Precision Op Amps
Applications Information
The MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 provide low voltagenoise performance. Obtaining low voltage noise from a
bipolar op amp requires high collector currents in the
input stage, since voltage noise is inversely proportional to the square root of the input stage collector current.
However, op amp current noise is proportional to the
square root of the input stage collector current, and the
input bias current is proportional to the input stage collector current. Therefore, to obtain optimum low-noise
performance, DC accuracy, and AC stability, minimize
the value of the feedback and source resistance.
Total Noise Density vs. Source Resistance
The standard expression for the total input-referred
noise of an op amp at a given frequency is:
e t = en2 +(Rp +Rn )2 in2 + 4kT (Rp +Rn )
where:
Rn = Inverting input effective series resistance
Rp = Noninverting input effective series resistance
becomes the dominant term, eventually making the
voltage noise contribution from the MAX410/MAX412/
MAX414 negligible. As the source resistance is further
increased, current noise becomes dominant. For example, when the equivalent source resistance is greater
than 3kΩ at 1kHz, the current noise component is larger than the resistor noise. The graph of Total Noise
Density vs. Matched Source Resistance in the Typical
Operating Characteristics shows this phenomenon.
Optimal MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 noise performance
and minimal total noise achieved with an equivalent
source resistance of less than 10kΩ.
Voltage Noise Testing
RMS voltage-noise density is measured with the circuit
shown in Figure 2, using the Quan Tech model 5173
noise analyzer, or equivalent. The voltage-noise density
at 1kHz is sample tested on production units. When
measuring op-amp voltage noise, only low-value, metal
film resistors are used in the test fixture.
The 0.1Hz to 10Hz peak-to-peak noise of the
MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 is measured using the test
en = Input voltage-noise density at the frequency of
interest
in = Input current-noise density at the frequency of
interest
T = Ambient temperature in Kelvin (K)
k = 1.28 x 10-23 J/K (Boltzman’s constant)
In Figure 1, Rp = R3 and Rn = R1 || R2. In a real application, the output resistance of the source driving the
input must be included with Rp and Rn. The following
example demonstrates how to calculate the total output-noise density at a frequency of 1kHz for the
MAX412 circuit in Figure 1.

Output noise density = (100)et = 2.36µV/√Hz at 1kHz.
In general, the amplifier’s voltage noise dominates with
equivalent source resistances less than 200Ω. As the
equivalent source resistance increases, resistor noise

circuit shown in Figure 3. Figure 4 shows the frequency
response of the circuit. The test time for the 0.1Hz to
10Hz noise measurement should be limited to 10 seconds, which has the effect of adding a second zero to
the test circuit, providing increased attenuation for frequencies below 0.1Hz.

Input Protection
To protect amplifier inputs from excessive differential
input voltages, most modern op amps contain input
protection diodes and current-limiting resistors. These
resistors increase the amplifier’s input-referred noise.
They have not been included in the MAX410/MAX412/
MAX414, to optimize noise performance. The MAX410/
MAX412/MAX414 do contain back-to-back input protection diodes which will protect the amplifier for differential input voltages of ±0.1V. If the amplifier must be
protected from higher differential input voltages, add
external current-limiting resistors in series with the op
amp inputs to limit the potential input current to less
than 20mA.
Capacitive-Load Driving
Driving large capacitive loads increases the likelihood
of oscillation in amplifier circuits. This is especially true
for circuits with high loop gains, like voltage followers.
The output impedance of the amplifier and a capacitive
load form an RC network that adds a pole to the loop
response. If the pole frequency is low enough, as when
driving a large capacitive load, the circuit phase margin is degraded.
In voltage follower circuits, the MAX410/MAX412/
MAX414 remain stable while driving capacitive loads
as great as 3900pF (see Figures 6a and 6b).

When driving capacitive loads greater than 3900pF,
add an output isolation resistor to the voltage follower
circuit, as shown in Figure 7a. This resistor isolates the
load capacitance from the amplifier output and restores
the phase margin. Figure 7b is a photograph of the
response of a MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 driving a
0.015µF load with a 10Ω isolation resistor

MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 is plotted for closed-loop
gains of -1V/V and -10V/V in the % Overshoot vs.
Capacitive Load graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.
Feedback around the isolation resistor RI increases the
accuracy at the capacitively loaded output (see Figure 8).
The MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 are stable with a 0.01µF
load for the values of RI and CF shown. In general, for
decreased closed-loop gain, increase RI or CF. To drive
larger capacitive loads, increase the value of CF.

TDFN Exposed Paddle Connection
On TDFN packages, there is an exposed paddle that
does not carry any current but should be connected to
V- (not the GND plane) for rated power dissipation.
Total Supply Voltage Considerations
Although the MAX410/MAX412/MAX414 are specified
with ±5V power supplies, they are also capable of single-supply operation with voltages as low as 4.8V. The
minimum input voltage range for normal amplifier operation is between V- + 1.5V and V+ - 1.5V. The minimum
room-temperature output voltage range (with 2kΩ load)
Figure 9. MAX410 Offset Null Circuit
is between V+ - 1.4V and V- + 1.3V for total supply voltages between 4.8V and 10V. The output voltage range,
referenced to the supply voltages, decreases slightly
over temperature, as indicated in the ±5V Electrical
Characteristics tables. Operating characteristics at total
supply, voltages of less than 10V are guaranteed by
design and PSRR tests.
MAX410 Offset Voltage Null
The offset null circuit of Figure 9 provides approximately
±450µV of offset adjustment range, sufficient for zeroing
offset over the full operating temperature range.
