Not Recommended for New Designs
The MAX495 was manufactured for Maxim by an outside wafer
foundry using a process that is no longer available. It is not
recommended for new designs. A Maxim replacement or an industry
second-source may be available. The data sheet remains available for
existing users. The other parts on the following data sheet are not
affected.
For further information, please see the QuickView data sheet for this
part or contact technical support for assistance.

Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower,
Single-Supply Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
The dual MAX492, quad MAX494, and single MAX495
operational amplifiers combine excellent DC accuracy
with rail-to-rail operation at the input and output. Since
the common-mode voltage extends from VCC to VEE,
the devices can operate from either a single supply
(+2.7V to +6V) or split supplies (±1.35V to ±3V). Each
op amp requires less than 150µA supply current. Even
with this low current, the op amps are capable of driving
a 1kΩ load, and the input referred voltage noise is only
25nV/√Hz. In addition, these op amps can drive loads in
excess of 1nF.
The precision performance of the MAX492/MAX494/
MAX495, combined with their wide input and output
dynamic range, low-voltage single-supply operation, and
very low supply current, makes them an ideal choice for
battery-operated equipment and other low-voltage applications. The MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 are available in
DIP and SO packages in the industry-standard op-amp
pin configurations. The MAX495 is also available in the
smallest 8-pin SO: the µMAX package.

MAX492/MAX494/MAX495
Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower,
Single-Supply Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
__________Applications Information
The dual MAX492, quad MAX494, and single MAX495
op amps combine excellent DC accuracy with rail-torail operation at both input and output. With their precision performance, wide dynamic range at low supply
voltages, and very low supply current, these op amps
are ideal for battery-operated equipment and other lowvoltage applications.
Rail-to-Rail Inputs and Outputs
The MAX492/MAX494/MAX495’s input common-mode
range extends 0.25V beyond the positive and negative
supply rails, with excellent common-mode rejection.
Beyond the specified common-mode range, the outputs are guaranteed not to undergo phase reversal or
latchup. Therefore, the MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 can
be used in applications with common-mode signals at
or even beyond the supplies, without the problems
associated with typical op amps.
The MAX492/MAX494/MAX495’s output voltage swings
to within 50mV of the supplies with a 100kΩ load. This
rail-to-rail swing at the input and output substantially
increases the dynamic range, especially in low supplyvoltage applications. Figure 1 shows the input and output waveforms for the MAX492, configured as a
unity-gain noninverting buffer operating from a single
+3V supply. The input signal is 3.0Vp-p, 1kHz sinusoid
centered at +1.5V. The output amplitude is approximately 2.95Vp-p.
Input Offset Voltage
Rail-to-rail common-mode swing at the input is obtained
by two complementary input stages in parallel, which
feed a folded cascaded stage. The PNP stage is active
for input voltages close to the negative rail, and the
NPN stage is active for input voltages close to the positive rail.
The offsets of the two pairs are trimmed; however, there
is some small residual mismatch between them. This
mismatch results in a two-level input offset characteristic, with a transition region between the levels occurring
at a common-mode voltage of approximately 1.3V.
Unlike other rail-to-rail op amps, the transition region
has been widened to approximately 600mV in order to
minimize the slight degradation in CMRR caused by
this mismatch.
To adjust the MAX495’s input offset voltage (500µV max
at +25°C), connect a 10kΩ trim potentiometer between
the two NULL pins (pins 1 and 5), with the wiper connected to VEE (pin 4) (Figure 2). The trim range of this
circuit is ±6mV. External offset adjustment is not available for the dual MAX492 or quad MAX494.
The input bias currents of the MAX492/MAX494/MAX495
are typically less than 50nA. The bias current flows into
the device when the NPN input stage is active, and it
flows out when the PNP input stage is active. To reduce
the offset error caused by input bias current flowing
through external source resistances, match the effective resistance seen at each input. Connect resistor R3
between the noninverting input and ground when using

(Figure 4). The diodes limit the differential voltage
applied to the amplifiers’ internal circuitry to no more
than VF, where VF is the diodes’ forward-voltage drop
(about 0.7V at +25°C).
Input bias current for the ICs (±25nA typical) is specified for the small differential input voltages. For large
differential input voltages (exceeding VF), this protection circuitry increases the input current at IN+ and IN-:
Input Stage Protection Circuitry
The MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 include internal protection circuitry that prevents damage to the precision
input stage from large differential input voltages. This
protection circuitry consists of back-to-back diodes
between IN+ and IN- with two 1.7kΩ resistors in series

(which is multiplied by the source resistance).

recommended for amplifier applications, as they may

Output Loading and Stability
Even with their low quiescent current of less than 150µA
per op amp, the MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 are well
suited for driving loads up to 1kΩ while maintaining DC
accuracy. Stability while driving heavy capacitive loads
is another key advantage over comparable CMOS railto-rail op amps.

In op amp circuits, driving large capacitive loads
increases the likelihood of oscillation. This is especially
true for circuits with high loop gains, such as a unitygain voltage follower. The output impedance and a
capacitive load form an RC network that adds a pole to
the loop response and induces phase lag. If the pole
frequency is low enough—as when driving a large
capacitive load—the circuit phase margin is degraded,
leading to either an under-damped pulse response or
oscillation.

Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower,
Single-Supply Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
To increase stability while driving large capacitive
loads, connect a pull-up resistor at the output to
decrease the current that the amplifier must source. If
the amplifier is made to sink current rather than source,
stability is further increased.
Frequency stability can be improved by adding an output isolation resistor (RS) to the voltage-follower circuit
(Figure 8). This resistor improves the phase margin of
the circuit by isolating the load capacitor from the op
amp’s output. Figure 9a shows the MAX492 driving
10,000pF (RL ≥ 100kΩ), while Figure 9b adds a 47Ω
isolation resistor.

MAX492/MAX494/MAX495
The MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 can drive capacitive
loads in excess of 1000pF under certain conditions
(Figure 5). When driving capacitive loads, the greatest
potential for instability occurs when the op amp is
sourcing approximately 100µA. Even in this case, stability is maintained with up to 400pF of output capacitance. If the output sources either more or less current,
stability is increased. These devices perform well with a
1000pF pure capacitive load (Figure 6). Figure 7 shows
the performance with a 500pF load in parallel with various load resistors.

Figure 11a. Power-Up Settling Time (VCC = +3V)
Because the MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 have excellent
stability, no isolation resistor is required, except in the
most demanding applications. This is beneficial
because an isolation resistor would degrade the lowfrequency performance of the circuit.
Power-Up Settling Time
The MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 have a typical supply
current of 150µA per op amp. Although supply current is
already low, it is sometimes desirable to reduce it further
by powering down the op amp and associated ICs for
periods of time. For example, when using a MAX494 to
buffer the inputs to a multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC), much of the circuitry could be powered
down between data samples to increase battery life. If
samples are taken infrequently, the op amps, along with
the ADC, may be powered down most of the time.
When power is reapplied to the MAX492/MAX494/
MAX495, it takes some time for the voltages on the supply pin and the output pin of the op amp to settle.
Supply settling time depends on the supply voltage, the
value of the bypass capacitor, the output impedance of
the incoming supply, and any lead resistance or inductance between components. Op amp settling time
depends primarily on the output voltage and is slew-rate
limited. With the noninverting input to a voltage follower
held at mid-supply (Figure 10), when the supply steps
from 0V to VCC, the output settles in approximately 4µs
for V CC = +3V (Figure 11a) or 10µs for V CC = +5V
(Figure 11b).

Power Supplies and Layout
The MAX492/MAX494/MAX495 operate from a single
2.7V to 6V power supply, or from dual supplies of
±1.35V to ±3V. For single-supply operation, bypass the
power supply with a 1µF capacitor in parallel with a
0.1µF ceramic capacitor. If operating from dual supplies, bypass each supply to ground.
Good layout improves performance by decreasing the
amount of stray capacitance at the op amp’s inputs and
output. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize both
trace lengths and resistor leads and place external
components close to the op amp’s pins.
Rail-to-Rail Buffers
The Typical Operating Circuit shows a MAX495 gain-oftwo buffer driving the analog input to a MAX187 12-bit
ADC. Both devices run from a single 5V supply, and the
converter’s internal reference is 4.096V. The MAX495’s
typical input offset voltage is 200µV. This results in an
error at the ADC input of 400µV, or less than half of one
least significant bit (LSB). Without offset trimming, the
op amp contributes negligible error to the conversion
result.
