Ultra-Low Offset
Voltage Operational Amplifier
General Description
The MAX400 guaranteed maximum 10µV offset error is
the lowest input offset voltage of any commercially avail-
able (nonchopper) monolithic amplifier. The MAX400
represents a 2.5 times improvement over the highest
grade OP07 (the OP07A), and a 5 times improvement
over the best commercial temperature range device
(OP07E). The offset voltage drift is guaranteed to be a
maximum of 0.3µV/°C which is also an improvement
over the OP07 family.
For the ultimate in DC performance (5µV maximum
offset voltage and 0.05µV/°C maximum offset voltage
drift) the MAX420 and MAX430 series of ±15V monolithic,
chopper-stabilized amplifiers should be consulted.

Note 1:
For supply voltages less than ±22V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
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.
