Maxim Integrated MAX986EUK High-Efficiency, Low-Voltage, CMOS Micro-Power Operational Amplifiers

The MAX986EUK from Maxim Integrated stands as a high-performance addition to the family of CMOS operational amplifiers, designed to offer both high efficiency and low-voltage operation. This device is specifically tailored for battery-powered and portable applications where power conservation is paramount. The MAX986EUK operates from a single supply voltage as low as +1.8V, up to +5.5V, making it exceptionally versatile for various low-voltage circuits.

With a quiescent current of just 11µA, the MAX986EUK is optimized for systems where battery life is critical. This micro-power operational amplifier exhibits an excellent speed-to-power ratio, providing a gain-bandwidth product of 500kHz. Such characteristics make it suitable for sensor interfaces, battery-operated equipment, and other applications that require energy efficiency without compromising on performance.

The MAX986EUK comes in a compact 5-pin SOT-23 package, which is ideal for space-constrained designs. Despite its small size, it boasts a range of features such as rail-to-rail outputs that enhance its dynamic range, and an input common-mode voltage range that extends from the negative supply to within 1.3V of the positive supply, thereby providing increased flexibility in single-supply operations.

Its robust design includes built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, ensuring resilience in harsh environments. The device also features a low input bias current of 1pA, which is beneficial for high-impedance sources like photodiodes. Additionally, the MAX986EUK offers a low input offset voltage of 500µV, which minimizes error in precision applications.

Whether it's for portable medical devices, consumer electronics, or industrial controls, the Maxim Integrated MAX986EUK operational amplifier is engineered to meet the demands of modern low-power circuits. By combining energy efficiency with high functionality, it provides designers with a reliable and flexible solution for their analog circuit needs.
