Op Amps with Shutdown/Mute
The MAX4335–MAX4338 have 90dB power-supply
rejection ratio (PSRR), eliminating the need for costly
pre-regulation in most audio applications. Both the
input voltage range and the output voltage swing
include both supply rails, maximizing dynamic range.
The MAX4335/MAX4336 single amplifiers are available
in ultra-small 6-pin SC70 packages. The MAX4337/
MAX4338 dual amplifiers are available in an 8-pin
SOT23 and a 10-pin µMAX package, respectively. All
devices are specified from -40°C to +85°C.

MAX4335–MAX4338
General Description
The MAX4335–MAX4338 op amps deliver 40mW per
channel into 32Ω from ultra-small SC70/SOT23 packages making them ideal for mono/stereo headphone
drivers in portable applications. These amplifiers have
a 5MHz gain-bandwidth product and are guaranteed to
deliver 50mA of output current while operating from a
single supply of 2.7V to 5.5V.
The MAX4336 and the MAX4338 have a shutdown/mute
mode that reduces the supply current to 0.04µA per
amplifier and places the outputs in a high-impedance
state.

SC70/SOT23-8, 50mA IOUT, Rail-to-Rail I/O
Op Amps with Shutdown/Mute
Rail-to-Rail Input Stage
Devices in the MAX4335–MAX4338 family of highoutput-current amplifiers have rail-to-rail input and output
stages designed for low-voltage, single-supply operation. The input stage consists of separate NPN and
PNP differential stages that combine to provide an
input common-mode range that extends 0.25V beyond
the supply rails. The PNP stage is active for input voltages close to the negative rail, and the NPN stage is
active for input voltages near the positive rail. The
switchover transition region, which occurs near VCC/2,
has been extended to minimize the slight degradation
in common-mode rejection ratio caused by mismatch of
the input pairs.
Since the input stage switches between the NPN and
PNP pairs, the input bias current changes polarity as the
input voltage passes through the transition 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 3 and 5).
High source impedances, together with input capacitance, can create a parasitic pole that produces an
underdamped signal response. Reducing the input
impedance or placing a small (2pF to 10pF) capacitor
across the feedback resistor improves response.
The MAX4335–MAX4338’s inputs are protected from large
differential input voltages by 1kΩ series resistors and
back-to-back double diodes across the inputs (Figure 5).
For differential voltages less than 1.2V, input resistance is
typically 500kΩ. For differential input voltages greater
than 1.2V, input resistance is approximately 8.4kΩ. The
input bias current is given by the following equation:
IBIAS = (VDIFF - 1.2V) / 8.4kΩ
MAX4335–MAX4338
Single-Supply Speaker Driver
The MAX4335/MAX4336 can be used as a single-supply speaker driver, as shown in the Typical Operating
Circuit. Capacitor C1 is used for blocking DC (a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor can be used). When choosing resistors R3 and R4, take into consideration the input bias
current as well as how much supply current can be tolerated. Choose resistors R1 and R2 according to the
amount of gain and current desired. Capacitor C3
ensures unity gain for DC. A 10µF electrolytic capacitor
is suitable for most applications. The coupling capacitor C2 sets a low-frequency pole and is fairly large in
value. For a 32Ω load, a 100µF coupling capacitor
gives a low-frequency pole at 50Hz. The low-frequency
pole can be set according to the following equation:
ƒ = 1 / 2π (RLC2)

Rail-to-Rail Output Stage
The minimum output is within millivolts of ground for
single-supply operation, where the load is referenced
to ground (GND). Figure 6 shows the input voltage
range and the output voltage swing of a MAX4335 connected as a voltage follower. The maximum output voltage swing is load dependent; however, it is guaranteed
to be within 400mV of the positive rail (VCC = 2.7V)
even with maximum load (32Ω to VCC/2).
Driving Capacitive Loads
The MAX4335–MAX4338 have a high tolerance for
capacitive loads. They are stable with capacitive loads
up to 200pF. Figure 7 is a graph of the stable operating
region for various capacitive loads vs. resistive loads.

Figure 5. Input Protection Circuit
Figures 8 and 9 show the transient response with
excessive capacitive loads (330pF), with and without
the addition of an isolation resistor in series with the
output. Figure 10 shows a typical noninverting capacitive-load-driving circuit in the unity-gain configuration.
The resistor improves the circuit’s phase margin by isolating the load capacitor from the op amp’s output.
Power-Up and Shutdown/Mute Modes
The MAX4336/MAX4338 have a shutdown option.
When the shutdown pin (SHDN) is pulled low, supply
current drops to 0.04µA per amplifier (VCC = 5V), the
amplifiers are disabled, and their outputs are placed in
a high-impedance state. Pulling SHDN high enables
the amplifier. In the dual MAX4338, the two amplifiers
shut down independently. Figure 11 shows the
MAX4336’s output voltage response to a shutdown
pulse. The MAX4335–MAX4338 typically settle within
5µs after power-up (Figure 12).
Power Supplies and Layout
The MAX4335–MAX4338 can operate from a single
2.7V to 5.5V supply. Bypass the power supply with a
0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with at least 1µF.
Good layout improves performance by decreasing the
amount of stray capacitance at the op amps’ inputs
and outputs. Decrease stray capacitance by placing
external components close to the op amps’ input/output
pins, minimizing trace and lead lengths.
12
Thermal Overload Protection
The MAX4335–MAX4338 includes thermal overload
protection circuitry. When the junction temperature of
the device exceeds +140°C, the supply current drops
to 120µA per amplifier (VCC = 5V) and the outputs are
placed in a high-impedance state. The device returns
to normal operation when the junction temperature falls
to below +120°C.
Short-Circuit Current Protection
The MAX4335–MAX4338 incorporate a smart short-circuit protection feature. Figure 7 shows the output voltage region where the protection circuitry is active. A
fault condition occurs when IOUT > 110mA and VOUT >
1V (sinking current) or when IOUT > 110mA and (VCC VOUT) > 1V (sourcing current). When a fault is detected, the short-circuit protection circuitry is activated and
the output current is limited to 110mA, protecting the
device and the application circuitry. When the smart
short circuit is not active, the output current can safely
exceed 110mA (see the Output Current vs. Output
Voltage Graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
