MAX44251/MAX44252
20V, Ultra-Precision, Low-Noise Op Amps
General Description
The MAX44251/MAX44252 are 20V, ultra-precision, low-
noise, low-drift amplifiers that offer near-zero DC offset
and drift through the use of patented autocorrelating
zeroing techniques. This method constantly measures
and compensates the input offset, eliminating drift over
time and temperature and the effect of 1/f noise. These
dual and quad devices feature rail-to-rail outputs, oper-
ate from a single 2.7V to 20V supply, and consume only
1.15mA per channel, while providing 5.9nV/√Hz input-
referred voltage noise. The ICs are unity-gain stable with
a gain-bandwidth product of 10MHz.
With excellent specifications such as offset voltage of
6µV (max), drift of 19nV/°C (max), and 123nV
P-P
noise in
0.1Hz to 10Hz, the ICs are ideally suited for applications
requiring ultra-low noise and DC precision such as inter-
facing with pressure sensors, strain gauges, precision
weight scales, and medical instrumentation.
