MAX44260/MAX44261
1.8V 15MHz Low-Offset,
Low-Power, Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amps
General Description
The MAX44260/MAX44261 offer a unique combination of
high speed, precision, low noise, and low-voltage opera-
tion making them ideally suited for a large number of
signal processing functions such as filtering and ampli-
fication of signals in portable and industrial equipment.
The amplifiers feature an input offset of less than 50FV
and a high-gain bandwidth product of 15MHz while
maintaining a low 1.8V supply rail. The devices’ rail-to-
rail input/outputs and low noise guarantee maximum
dynamic range in demanding applications such as 12- to
14-bit SAR ADC drivers. Unlike traditional rail-to-rail input
structures, input crossover distortion is absent due to an
optimized input stage with
an
ultra-quiet charge pump.
The MAX44260 includes a fast-power-on shutdown mode
for further power savings. The MAX44261 offers a unique
on-demand calibration pin where the user can invoke
self-trimming of the input offset voltage.
The family of parts operates from a supply range of 1.8V
to 5.5V over the -40NC to +125NC temperature range and
can operate down to 1.7V over the 0NC to +70NC tem-
perature range. The MAX44260/MAX44261 are available
in small, 6-pin SC70 packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.
