General Description
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 family of micropow­er operational amplifiers operates from a +1.8V to +5.5V single supply or ±0.9V to ±2.75V dual supplies and has Rail-to-Rail®input/output capabilities. These amplifiers provide a 500kHz gain-bandwidth product and 120dB open-loop voltage gain while using only 100µA of supply current per amplifier. The combination of low input offset voltage (±400µV) and high-open-loop gain makes them suitable for low-power/low-voltage high-precision applications.
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 have an input com­mon-mode range that extends to each supply rail, and their outputs typically swing within 20mV of the rails with a 2kload. Although the minimum operating voltage is specified at +1.8V, these devices typically operate down to +1.5V. The combination of ultra-low-voltage operation, rail-to-rail inputs/output, and low-power consumption makes these devices ideal for any portable/two-cell bat­tery-powered system.
The single MAX4291 is offered in an ultra-small 5-pin SC70 package and the dual MAX4292 is offered in a space-saving 8-pin µMAX package.

Detailed Description
Rail-to-Rail Input Stage
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 have rail-to-rail inputs and output stages that are specifically designed for low-voltage, single-supply operation. The input stage consists of separate NPN and PNP differential stages, which operate together to provide a common­mode range extending to both supply rails. The crossover region of these two pairs occurs halfway between VCCand VEE. The input offset voltage is typi­cally ±400µV. Low operating supply voltage, low sup­ply current, rail-to-rail common-mode input range, and rail-to-rail outputs make this family of operational ampli­fiers (op amps) an excellent choice for precision or general-purpose, low-voltage, battery-powered sys­tems.
Since the input stage consists of NPN and PNP pairs, the input bias current changes polarity as the common­mode voltage passes through the crossover region. Match the effective impedance seen by each input to reduce the offset error caused by input bias currents flowing through external source impedances (Figures 1a and 1b).
The combination of high source impedance plus input capacitance (amplifier input capacitance plus stray capacitance) creates a parasitic pole that produces an underdamped signal response. Reducing input capaci­tance or placing a small capacitor across the feedback resistor improves response in this case.

The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 family’s inputs are protected from large differential input voltages by inter­nal 10.6kseries resistors and back-to-back triple­diode stacks across the inputs (Figure 2). For differential input voltages (much less than 1.8V), input resistance is typically 0.75M. For differential input voltages greater than 1.8V, input resistance is around
21.2k, and the input bias current can be approximat­ed by the following equation:
In the region where the differential input voltage approaches 1.8V, the input resistance decreases expo­nentially from 0.75Mto 21.2kas the diode block begins to conduct. Conversely, the bias current increases with the same curve.
In unity-gain configuration, high slew rate input signals may capacitively couple to the output through the triple­diode stacks.
Rail-to-Rail Output Stage
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 output stage can drive up to a 2kload and still swing to within 20mV of the rails. Figure 3 shows the output voltage swing of a MAX4291 configured as a unity-gain buffer, powered from a ±2.5V supply. The output for this setup typically swings from (VEE+ 3mV) to (VCC- 2mV) with a 100k load.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Considerations
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 operate from a sin­gle +1.8V to +5.5V supply (or dual ±0.9V to ±2.75V supplies) and consume only 100µA of supply current per amplifier. A high power-supply rejection ratio of 80dB allows the amplifiers to be powered directly off a decaying battery voltage, simplifying design and extending battery life.
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 are ideally suited for use with most battery-powered systems. Table 1 lists a variety of typical battery types showing voltage when fresh, voltage at end-of-life, capacity, and approximate operating time from a MAX4291 (assuming nominal conditions).

Although the amplifiers are fully guaranteed over tem­perature for operation down to a +1.8V single supply, even lower voltage operation is possible in practice. Figures 4 and 5 show the offset voltage and supply cur­rent as a function of supply voltage and temperature.
Load-Driving Capability
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 are fully guaranteed over temperature and supply voltage range to drive a maximum resistive load of 2kto VCC/2, although heavier loads can be driven in many applications. The rail-to-rail output stage of the amplifier can be modeled as a current source when driving the load toward VCC, and as a current sink when driving the load toward VEE. The limit of this current source/sink varies with supply voltage, ambient temperature, and lot-to-lot variations of the units.
Figures 6a and 6b show the typical current source and sink capabilities of the MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 family as a function of supply voltage and ambient tem­perature. The contours on the graph depict the output current value, based on driving the output voltage to within 50mV, 100mV, and 200mV of either power-sup­ply rail.
For example, a MAX4291 running from a single +1.8V supply, operating at TA= +25°C can source 3.5mA to within 100mV of VCCand is capable of driving a 485 load resistor to VEE:
The same application can drive a 220kload resistor when terminated in VCC/2 (+0.9V in this case).

Driving Capacitive Loads
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 are unity-gain stable for loads up to 100pF (see the Load Resistor vs. Capacitive Load graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics). Applications that require greater capacitive drive capability should use an isolation resistor between the output and the capacitive load (Figure 7). Note that this alternative results in a loss of gain accuracy because R
ISO
forms a voltage divider
with the load resistor.
Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 family operates from either a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply or dual ±0.9V to ±2.75V supplies. For single-supply operation, bypass the power supply with a 100nF capacitor to VEE(in this case GND). For dual-supply operation, both the V
CC
and the VEEsupplies should be bypassed to ground with separate 100nF capacitors.
Good PC board layout techniques optimize perfor­mance by decreasing the amount of stray capacitance at the op amp’s inputs and output. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize trace lengths and widths by placing external components as close as possible to the op amp. Surface-mount components are an excel­lent choice.
Using the MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294
as Comparators
Although optimized for use as operational amplifiers, the MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 can also be used as rail-to-rail I/O comparators. Typical propagation delay depends on the input overdrive voltage, as shown in Figure 8. External hysteresis can be used to minimize the risk of output oscillation. The positive feedback cir­cuit, shown in Figure 9, causes the input threshold to change when the output voltage changes state. The two thresholds create a hysteresis band that can be calculated by the following equations:
When the output of the comparator is low, the supply current increases. The output stage has biasing circuit­ry to monitor the output current. When the amplifier is

Using the MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294
as Low-Power Current Monitors
The MAX4291/MAX4292/MAX4294 are ideal for appli­cations powered from a two-cell battery stack. Figure 11 shows an application circuit in which the MAX4291 is used for monitoring the current of a two-cell battery stack. In this circuit, a current load is applied, and the voltage drop at the battery terminal is sensed.
The voltage on the load side of the battery stack is equal to the voltage at the emitter of Q1 due to the feedback loop containing the op amp. As the load cur­rent increases, the voltage drop across R1 and R2 increases. Thus, R2 provides a fraction of the load cur­rent (set by the ratio of R1 and R2) that flows into the emitter of the PNP transistor. Neglecting PNP base cur­rent, this current flows into R3, producing a ground-ref­erenced voltage proportional to the load current. To minimize errors, scale R1 to give a voltage drop that is large enough in comparison to the op amp’s VOS.
Calculate the output voltage of the application using the following equation:
For a 1V output and a current load of 50mA, the choice of resistors can be R1 = 2, R2 = 100k, and R3 = 1MΩ.
