EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX44244/MAX44245/MAX44248 36V, Precision, Low-Power, 90A, Single/Quad/Dual Op Amps General Description Benefits and Features The MAX44244/MAX44245/MAX44248 family of parts provide ultra-precision, low-noise, zero-drift single/quad/ dual operational amplifiers featuring very low-power operation with a wide supply range. The devices incorporate a patented auto-zero circuit that constantly measures and compensates the input offset to eliminate drift over time and temperature as well as the effect of 1/f noise. These devices also feature integrated EMI filters to reduce high-frequency signal demodulation on the output. The op amps operate from either a single 2.7V to 36V supply or dual 1.35V to 18V supply. The devices are unity-gain stable with a 1MHz gain-bandwidth product and a low 90A supply current per amplifier. Reduces Power for Sensitive Precision Applications The low offset and noise specifications and high supply range make the devices ideal for sensor interfaces and transmitters.

Detailed Description Applications Information The MAX44244/MAX44245/MAX44248 are high-precision amplifiers with less than 2FV (typ) input-referred offset and low input voltage-noise density at 10Hz. 1/f noise, in fact, is eliminated to improve the performance in low-frequency applications. These characteristics are achieved through an auto-zeroing technique that cancels the input offset voltage and 1/f noise of the amplifier. The devices feature ultra-high precision operational amplifiers with a high supply voltage range designed for load cell, medical instrumentation, and precision instrument applications. External Noise Suppression in EMI Form These devices have input EMI filters to prevent effects of radio frequency interference on the output. The EMI filters comprise passive devices that present significant higher impedance to higher frequency signals. See the EMIRR vs. Frequency graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics section for details. High Supply Voltage Range The devices feature 90A current consumption per channel and a voltage supply range from either 2.7V to 36V single supply or 1.35V to 18V split supply. Maxim Integrated 4-20mA Current-Loop Communication Industrial environments typically have a large amount of broadcast electromagnetic interference (EMI) from highvoltage transients and switching motors. This combined with long cables for sensor communication leads to high-voltage noise on communication lines. Current-Loop communication is resistant to this noise because the EMI induced current is low. This configuration also allows for low-power sensor applications to be powered from the communication lines. The Typical Operating Circuit shows how the device can be used to make a current loop driver. The circuit uses low-power components such as the MAX44244 op amp, the 16-bit MAX5216 DAC, and the high-precision 60A-only MAX6033 reference. In this 11 MAX44244/MAX44245/MAX44248 36V, Precision, Low-Power, 90A, Single/Quad/Dual Op Amps circuit, both the DAC and the reference are referred to the local ground. The MAX44244 op-amp inputs are capable of swinging to the negative supply (which is the local ground in this case). R3 acts as a current mirror with RSENSE. Therefore, if RSENSE = 50 (i.e. 20mA will drop 1V) and if the current through R3 is 10A when IOUT is 20mA (0.05% error) then R3 = 100k. R1 is chosen along with the reference voltage to provide the 4mA offset. R2 = 512k for 20mA full scale or R2 = 614k for 20% overrange. RSENSE is ratiometric with R3, R1 independently sets the offset current and R2 independently sets the DAC scaling. Driving High-Performance ADCs The MAX44244/MAX44245/MAX44248's low input offset voltage and low noise make these amplifiers ideal for ADC buffering. Weight scale applications require a lownoise, precision amplifier in front of an ADC. Figure 1 details an example of a load cell and amplifier driven from the same 5V supply, along with a 16-bit delta sigma ADC such as the MAX11205. The MAX11205 is an ultra-low-power (< 300FA, max active current), high-resolution, serial output ADC. It provides the highest resolution per unit power in the industry and is optimized for applications that require very high dynamic range with low power such as sensors on a 4-20mA industrial control loop. The devices provide a high-accuracy internal oscillator that requires no external components. Layout Guidelines The MAX44244/MAX44245/MAX44248 feature ultra-low input offset voltage and noise. Therefore, to get optimum performance follow the layout guidelines. Avoid temperature tradients at the junction of two dissimilar metals. The most common dissimilar metals used on a PCB are solder-to-component lead and solder-to-board trace. Dissimilar metals create a local thermocouple. A variation in temperature across the board can cause an additional offset due to Seebeck effect at the solder junctions. To minimize the Seebeck effect, place the amplifier away from potential heat sources on the board, if possible. Orient the resistors such that both the ends are heated equally. It is a good practice to match the input signal path to ensure that the type and number of thermoelectric juntions remain the same. For example, consider using dummy 0 resistors oriented in such a way that the thermoelectric source, due to the real resistors in the signal path, are cancelled. It is recommended to flood the PCB with ground plane. The ground plane ensures that heat is distributed uniformly reducing the potential offset voltage degradation due to Seebeck effect. 5V 5V 1/2 MAX44248 AMP A VDD 5V RF VIN+ RG VDD MICROCONTROLLER SCLK RDY/DOUT SCK MISO MAX11205 RF VIN- 5V VSS VSS AMP B 1/2 MAX44248 Figure 1.
