General Description
The MAX4480–MAX4483 low-cost, general-purpose op
amps offer Rail-to-Rail®outputs, draw only 50µA of quies-
cent current, and operate from a single +2.5V to +5.5V
supply. For additional power conservation, the MAX4481
offers a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply
current to 0.5µA (max) and puts the amplifier’s output in a
high-impedance state. These devices are unity-gain sta-
ble with capacitive loads up to 400pF. The MAX4480–
MAX4483 are specified to +125°C, making them suitable
for use in a variety of harsh environments, such as auto-
motive applications.
The MAX4480 is a single amplifier offered in a tiny 5-pin
SC70 package. The MAX4481 is a single amplifier with
a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply cur-
rent to <0.5µA and comes in a 6-pin SC70 package.
The MAX4482 is a dual amplifier and comes in the
space-saving 8-pin SOT23 package. The MAX4483 is a
quad amplifier and comes in a 14-pin TSSOP package.
All devices are specified for operation across the -40°C
to +125°C automotive temperature range.

Pin Description
Detailed Description
Rail-to-Rail Output Stage
The MAX4480MAX4483 can drive a 5kload and still
typically swing within 80mV of the supply rails. Figure 1
shows the MAX4480 output voltage swing configured
with AV = +10V/V.
Driving Capacitive Loads
Driving a capacitive load can cause instability in many
op amps, especially those with low quiescent current.
The MAX4480MAX4483 are unity-gain stable for a
range of capacitive loads to above 400pF. Figure 2
shows the MAX4480 response with an excessive
capacitive load. Adding a series resistor between the
output and the load capacitor (Figure 3) improves the

circuits response by isolating the load capacitance
from the op amps output.
Applications Information
Shutdown Mode
The MAX4481 features a low-power shutdown mode.
When SHDN goes low, the supply current drops to
0.05µA (typ) and the output enters a high-impedance
state. Pull SHDN high to enable the amplifier. Do not
leave SHDN floating. Figure 4 shows the shutdown
waveform.
Power-Up
The MAX4480MAX4483 outputs typically settle within
50µs after power-up. Figure 5 shows the output voltage
on power-up and power-down.
Power Supplies and Layout
The MAX4480MAX4483 operate from a single +2.5V to
+5.5V power supply. Bypass the power supply with a
0.1µF capacitor to ground.
Good layout techniques optimize performance by
decreasing the amount of stray capacitance at the op
amps inputs and outputs. To decrease stray capaci-
tance, minimize trace lengths by placing external com-
ponents close to the op amps pins.
