1.0V Micropower, SOT23, Operational Amplifier
General Description
The MAX4289 micropower, operational amplifier is opti-
mized for ultra-low supply voltage operation. The ampli-
fier consumes only 9µA of quiescent supply current and
is fully specified for operation from a single 1.0V to 5.5V
power supply. This ultra-low voltage operation together
with the low quiescent current consumption make the
MAX4289 ideal for use in battery-powered systems
operated from as little as a single alkaline cell. The
MAX4289 also features a wide input common-mode
range that includes the ground, and an output voltage
swing that is virtually Rail-to-Rail
®
, allowing almost all of
the power supply to be used for signal voltage.
The low input offset voltage and low input bias current
specifications along with the high open-loop gain make
the MAX4289 well-suited to applications requiring a
high degree of precision.
The MAX4289 is available in a tiny 6-pin SOT23 pack-
age. All specifications are guaranteed over the extend-
ed temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

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.
