EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX44280
1.8V, 50MHz, Low-Offset,
Low-Power, Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amp
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.

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.
