General Description
The MAX9943/MAX9944 is a family of high-voltage
amplifiers that offers precision, low drift, and low-power
consumption.
The MAX9943 (single) and MAX9944 (dual) op amps
offer 2.4MHz of gain-bandwidth product with only
550µA of supply current per amplifier.
The MAX9943/MAX9944 family has a wide power supply range operating from ±3V to ±19V dual supplies or
a 6V to 38V single supply.
The MAX9943/MAX9944 is ideal for sensor signal conditioning, high-performance industrial instrumentation and
loop-powered systems (e.g., 4mA–20mA transmitters).
The MAX9943 is offered in a space-saving 6-pin TDFN or
8-pin µMAX
®
package. The MAX9944 is offered in an
8-pin SO or an 8-pin TDFN package. These devices are
specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation 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.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
(VCC= 15V, VEE= -15V, VCM= 0, RL= 10kΩ to GND, GND = 0, TA= -40°C to +125°C. Typical values are at TA= +25°C, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 3)
Note 1: Operation is limited by thermal limits.
Note 2: 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
