EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX4249-MAX4257 UCSP, Single-Supply, Low-Noise, Low-Distortion, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps General Description The MAX4249-MAX4257 low-noise, low-distortion operational amplifiers offer rail-to-rail outputs and singlesupply operation down to 2.4V. They draw 400A of quiescent supply current per amplifier while featuring ultra-low distortion (0.0002% THD), as well as low input voltage-noise density (7.9nV/!Hz) and low input current-noise density (0.5fA/!Hz). These features make the devices an ideal choice for portable/battery-powered applications that require low distortion and/or low noise. For additional power conservation, the MAX4249/ MAX4251/MAX4253/MAX4256 offer a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 0.5A and puts the amplifiers' outputs into a high-impedance state. The MAX4249-MAX4257's outputs swing rail-torail and their input common-mode voltage range includes ground. The MAX4250-MAX4254 are unitygain stable with a gain-bandwidth product of 3MHz. The MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/MAX4257 are internally compensated for gains of 10V/V or greater with a gain-bandwidth product of 22MHz. The single MAX4250/ MAX4255 are available in space-saving 5-pin SOT23 packages. The MAX4252 is available in an 8-bump chipscale package (UCSPTM) and the MAX4253 is available in a 10-bump UCSP. The MAX4250AAUK comes in a 5-pin SOT23 package and is specified for operation over the automotive (-40C to +125C) temperature range. Applications Wireless Communications Devices PA Control Features !

Their low distortion and low noise make them ideal for use as preamplifiers in wide dynamic-range applications, such as 16-bit analog-todigital converters (see Typical Operating Circuit). Their high-input impedance and low noise are also useful for signal conditioning of high-impedance sources, such as piezoelectric transducers. These devices have true rail-to-rail output operation, drive loads as low as 1k" while maintaining DC accura- Maxim Integrated cy, and can drive capacitive loads up to 400pF without oscillation. The input common-mode voltage range extends from VDD - 1.1V to 200mV beyond the negative rail. The push-pull output stage maintains excellent DC characteristics, while delivering up to 5mA of current. The MAX4250-4254 are unity-gain stable, whereas, the MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/MAX4257 have a higher slew rate and are stable for gains # 10V/V. The MAX4249/MAX4251/MAX4253/MAX4256 feature a lowpower shutdown mode, which reduces the supply current to 0.5A and disables the outputs. The MAX4250AAUK is specified for operation over the automotive (-40C to +125C) temperature range. 9 MAX4249-MAX4257 UCSP, Single-Supply, Low-Noise, Low-Distortion, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps Low Distortion Many factors can affect the noise and distortion that the device contributes to the input signal. The following guidelines offer valuable information on the impact of design choices on Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Choosing proper feedback and gain resistor values for a particular application can be a very important factor in reducing THD. In general, the smaller the closedloop gain, the smaller the THD generated, especially when driving heavy resistive loads. Large-value feedback resistors can significantly improve distortion. The THD of the part normally increases at approximately 20dB per decade, as a function of frequency. Operating the device near or above the full-power bandwidth significantly degrades distortion. Referencing the load to either supply also improves the part's distortion performance, because only one of the MOSFETs of the push-pull output stage drives the output. Referencing the load to midsupply increases the part's distortion for a given load and feedback setting. (See the Total Harmonic Distortion vs. Frequency graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics.) For gains # 10V/V, the decompensated devices MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/MAX4257 deliver the best distortion performance, since they have a higher slew rate and provide a higher amount of loop gain for a given closed-loop gain setting. Capacitive loads below 400pF, do not significantly affect distortion results. Distortion performance remains relatively constant over supply voltages. CZ RF RG VOUT VIN Figure 1. Adding Feed-Forward Compensation AV = 2V/V RF = RG = 10k VIN = 50mV/div 100mV 0 VOUT = 100mV/div Low Noise The amplifier's input-referred, noise-voltage density is dominated by flicker noise at lower frequencies, and by thermal noise at higher frequencies. Because the thermal noise contribution is affected by the parallel combination of the feedback resistive network (R F || R G , Figure 1), these resistors should be reduced in cases where the system bandwidth is large and thermal noise is dominant. This noise contribution factor decreases, however, with increasing gain settings. For example, the input noise-voltage density of the circuit with RF = 100k", RG = 11k" (AV = 10V/V) is en = 15nV/!Hz, en can be reduced to 9nV/!Hz by choosing RF = 10k", RG = 1.1k" (AV = 10V/V), at the expense of greater current consumption and potentially higher distortion. For a gain of 100V/V with RF = 100k", RG = 1.1k", the en is low (9nV/!Hz). 2s/div Figure 2a.

Overdriven Input Showing No Phase Reversal 4.25V VOUT 0 4.45V VIN -200mV 0 The amplifier's input capacitance is 11pF. If the resistance seen by the inverting input is large (feedback network), this can introduce a pole within the amplifier's bandwidth, resulting in reduced phase margin. Compensate the reduced phase margin by introducing a feed-forward capacitor (CZ) between the inverting input and the output (Figure 1). This effectively cancels the pole from the inverting input of the amplifier. Choose the value of CZ as follows: In the unity-gain stable MAX4250-MAX4254, the use of a proper C Z is most important for A V = 2V/V, and A V = -1V/V. In the decompensated MAX4249/ MAX4255/MAX4256/MAX4257, CZ is most important for A V = 10V/V. Figures 2a and 2b show transient response both with and without CZ. Using a slightly smaller CZ than suggested by the formula above achieves a higher bandwidth at the expense of reduced phase and gain margin. As a general guideline, consider using CZ for cases where RG || R F is greater than 20k" (MAX4250-MAX4254) or greater than 5k" (MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/ MAX4257). Applications Information The MAX4249-MAX4257 combine good driving capability with ground-sensing input and rail-to-rail output operation. With their low distortion, low noise, and lowpower consumption, these devices are ideal for use in portable instrumentation systems and other low-power, noise-sensitive applications.

Capacitive-Load Driving Circuit Maxim Integrated The common-mode input range of these devices extends below ground, and offers excellent commonmode rejection. These devices are guaranteed not to undergo phase reversal when the input is overdriven (Figure 3). Figure 4 showcases the true rail-to-rail output operation of the amplifier, configured with AV = 10V/V. The output swings to within 8mV of the supplies with a 10k" load, making the devices ideal in low-supplyvoltage applications. Even with their low quiescent current of 400A, these amplifiers can drive 1k" loads while maintaining excellent DC accuracy. Stability while driving heavy capacitive loads is another key feature. 11 MAX4249-MAX4257 UCSP, Single-Supply, Low-Noise, Low-Distortion, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps 4.5 140 4.0 RISO () 120 100 80 60 SHADED AREA INDICATES STABLE OPERATION WITH NO NEED FOR ISOLATION RESISTOR. 40 20 0 10 100 1000 10,000 CAPACITIVE LOADING (pF) Figure 6.

Figure 8. MAX4250-MAX4254 Unity-Gain Bandwidth vs. Capacitive Load These devices maintain stability while driving loads up to 400pF. To drive higher capacitive loads, place a small isolation resistor in series between the output of the amplifier and the capacitive load (Figure 5). This resistor improves the amplifier's phase margin by isolating the capacitor from the op amp's output. Reference Figure 6 to select a resistance value that will ensure a load capacitance that limits peaking to <2dB (25%). For example, if the capacitive load is 1000pF, the corresponding isolation resistor is 150". Figure 7 shows that peaking occurs without the isolation resistor. Figure 8 shows the unity-gain bandwidth vs. capacitive load for the MAX4250-MAX4254. 25 15 VDD = 3V CAPACITIVE LOAD (pF) NOTE: USING AN ISOLATION RESISTOR REDUCES PEAKING. 20 UNITY-GAIN BANDWIDTH (MHz) 160 10,000 Power Supplies and Layout The MAX4249-MAX4257 operate from a single 2.4V to 5.5V power supply or from dual supplies of 1.20V to 2.75V. For single-supply operation, bypass the power supply with a 0.1F ceramic capacitor placed close to the VDD pin. If operating from dual supplies, bypass each supply to ground. Good layout improves performance by decreasing the amount of stray capacitance and noise at the op amp's inputs and output. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize PC board trace lengths and resistor leads, and place external components close to the op amp's pins.
