MAX44280
1.8V, 50MHz, Low-Offset,
Low-Power, Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amp
����������������������������������������������������������������� Maxim Integrated Products 1
General Description
The MAX44280 offers a unique combination of high
speed, precision, low noise, and low-voltage operation
making it ideally suited for a large number of signal pro-
cessing functions such as filtering and amplification of
signals in portable and industrial equipment.
The amplifier features an input offset of less than 50FV
and a high-gain bandwidth product of 50MHz while
maintaining a low 1.8V supply rail. The device is internally
compensated for gains of 5V/V or greater. The device’s
rail-to-rail input/outputs and low noise guarantee maxi-
mum dynamic range in demanding applications such
as 12- to 16-bit SAR ADC drivers. Unlike traditional
rail-to-rail input structures, input crossover distortion is
absent due to an optimized input stage with an ultra-quiet
charge pump.
The MAX44280 includes a fast-power-on shutdown mode
for further power savings.
The MAX44280 operates from a supply range of 1.8V to
5.5V over the -40NC to +125NC temperature range and
can operate down to 1.7V over the 0NC to +70NC tem-
perature range. The MAX44280 is available in a small,
6-pin SC70 package and is also available in a 1mm x
1.5mm thin µDFN (ultra-thin LGA) package.

Note 1: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.

1.8V, 50MHz, Low-Offset,
Low-Power, Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amp
Detailed Description
The MAX44280 is a high-speed low-power op amp ideal
for signal processing applications due to the device’s
high precision and low-noise CMOS inputs. The device
self-calibrates on power-up to eliminate effects of tem-
perature and power-supply variation.
The MAX44280 also features a low-power shutdown
mode that greatly reduces quiescent current while the
device is not operational and recovers in 30µs.
Crossover Distortion
This op amp features a low-noise integrated charge
pump that creates an internal voltage rail 1V above
VDD, which is used to power the input differential
pair of pMOS transistors as shown in Figure 1. Such
a unique architecture eliminates crossover distor-
tion common in traditional CMOS input architecture
(Figure 2), especially when used in a noninverting
configuration, such as for Sallen-Key filters.
The charge pump’s operating frequency lies well above
the unity-gain frequency of the amplifier. Thanks to its high-
frequency operation and ultra-quiet circuitry, the charge
pump generates little noise, does not require external
components, and is entirely transparent to the user.

Applications Information
Power-Up Autotrim
The IC features an automatic trim that self-calibrates
the VOS of this device to less than 50FV of input offset
voltage on power-up. This self-calibration feature allows
the device to eliminate input offset voltage effects due
to power supply and operating temperature variation
simply by cycling its power. The autotrim sequence takes
approximately 10ms to complete and is triggered by an
internal power-on-reset (POR) circuitry. During this time,
the inputs and outputs are put into high impedance and
left unconnected.
Shutdown Operation
The MAX44280 features an active-low shutdown mode
that puts both inputs and outputs into high impedance
and substantially lowers the quiescent current to less
than 1FA. Putting the output into high impedance allows
multiple outputs to be multiplexed onto a single output
line without the additional external buffers. The device
does not self-calibrate when exiting shutdown mode
and retains its power-up trim settings. The device also
recovers from shutdown in under 30Fs.
The shutdown logic levels of the device is independent
of supply, allowing the shutdown feature of the device to
operate off of a 1.8V or 3.3V microcontroller, regardless
of supply voltage.
Rail-to-Rail Input/Output
The input voltage range of the IC extends 100mV above
VDD and below VSS. The wide input common-mode
voltage range allows the op amp to be used as a buf-
fer and as a differential amplifier in a wide-variety of
signal processing applications. Output voltage high/low
is designed to be only 50mV above VSS and below VDD
allowing maximum dynamic range in single-supply appli-
cations. The high output current and capacitance drive
capability of the device make it ideal as an ADC driver
and a line driver.
Input Bias Current
The IC features a high-impedance CMOS input stage
and a specialized ESD structure that allows low-input
bias current operation at low-input, common-mode volt-
ages. Low-input bias current is useful when interfacing
with high-ohmic sensors. It is also beneficial for design-
ing transimpedance amplifiers for photodiode sensors.
This makes the device ideal for ground-referenced medi-
cal and industrial sensor applications.
Active Filters
The MAX44280 is ideal for a wide variety of active filter
circuits that makes use of the wide bandwidth, rail-to-rail
input/output stages and high-impedance CMOS inputs.
Driver for Interfacing with
the MAX11645 ADC
The IC’s tiny size and low noise make it a good fit for driv-
ing 12- to 16-bit resolution ADCs in space-constrained
applications. The Typical Application Circuit shows the
MAX44280 amplifier output connected to a lowpass filter
driving the MAX11645 ADC. The MAX11645 is part of a
family of 3V and 5V, 12-bit and 10-bit, 2-channel ADCs.
The MAX11645 offers sample rates up to 94ksps and
measures two single-ended inputs or one differential
input. These ADCs dissipate 670FA at the maximum sam-
pling rate, but just 6FA at 1ksps and 0.5FA in shutdown.
Offered in the ultra-tiny, 1.9mm x 2.2mm WLP and FMAX-
8 packages, the MAX11645 ADCs are an ideal fit to pair
with the MAX44280 amplifier in portable applications.
Where higher resolution is required, refer to the MAX1069
(14-bit) and MAX1169 (16-bit) ADC families.
