MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094
General Description
The single MAX4091, dual MAX4092, and quad
MAX4094 operational amplifiers combine excellent DC
accuracy with Rail-to-Rail® operation at the input and
output. Since the common-mode voltage extends from
VCC to VEE, the devices can operate from either a single supply (2.7V to 6V) or split supplies (±1.35V to
±3V). Each op amp requires less than 130µA of supply
current. Even with this low current, the op amps are
capable of driving a 1kΩ load, and the input-referred
voltage noise is only 12nV/√Hz. In addition, these op
amps can drive loads in excess of 2000pF.
The precision performance of the MAX4091/MAX4092/
MAX4094 combined with their wide input and output
dynamic range, low-voltage, single-supply operation,
and very low supply current, make them an ideal
choice for battery-operated equipment, industrial, and
data acquisition and control applications. In addition,
the MAX4091 is available in space-saving 5-pin SOT23,
8-pin µMAX, and 8-pin SO packages. The MAX4092 is
available in 8-pin µMAX and SO packages, and the
MAX4094 is available in 14-pin TSSOP and 14-pin SO
packages.

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.

MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094
Single/Dual/Quad, Micropower, Single-Supply,
Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
Detailed Description
The single MAX4091, dual MAX4092 and quad
MAX4094 op amps combine excellent DC accuracy
with rail-to-rail operation at both input and output. With
their precision performance, wide dynamic range at low
supply voltages, and very low supply current, these op
amps are ideal for battery-operated equipment, industrial, and data acquisition and control applications.
Applications Information
Rail-to-Rail Inputs and Outputs
The MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094’s input commonmode range extends 50mV beyond the positive and
negative supply rails, with excellent common-mode
rejection. Beyond the specified common-mode range,
the outputs are guaranteed not to undergo phase
reversal or latchup. Therefore, the MAX4091/MAX4092/
MAX4094 can be used in applications with commonmode signals, at or even beyond the supplies, without
the problems associated with typical op amps.
The MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094’s output voltage
swings to within 15mV of the supplies with a 100kΩ
load. This rail-to-rail swing at the input and the output
substantially increases the dynamic range, especially
in low-supply-voltage applications. Figure 1 shows the
input and output waveforms for the MAX4092, configured as a unity-gain noninverting buffer operating from
a single 3V supply. The input signal is 3.0VP-P, a 1kHz
sinusoid centered at 1.5V. The output amplitude is
approximately 2.98VP-P.
match the effective resistance seen at each input.
Connect resistor R3 between the noninverting input and
ground when using the op amp in an inverting configuration (Figure 2a); connect resistor R3 between the
noninverting input and the input signal when using the
op amp in a noninverting configuration (Figure 2b).
Select R3 to equal the parallel combination of R1 and
R2. High source resistances will degrade noise performance, due to the the input current noise (which is multiplied by the source resistance).
Input Stage Protection Circuitry
The MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094 include internal protection circuitry that prevents damage to the precision
input stage from large differential input voltages. This
protection circuitry consists of back-to-back diodes
between IN+ and IN- with two 1.7kΩ resistors in series
(Figure 3). The diodes limit the differential voltage
applied to the amplifiers’ internal circuitry to no more
than VF, where VF is the diodes’ forward-voltage drop
(about 0.7V at +25°C).
Input bias current for the ICs (±20nA) is specified for
small differential input voltages. For large differential
input voltages (exceeding VF), this protection circuitry
increases the input current at IN+ and IN-:
INPUT CURRENT =
[(VIN + ) − (VIN − )] − VF
2 ✕ 1.7kΩ
Output Loading and Stability
Rail-to-rail common-mode swing at the input is obtained
by two complementary input stages in parallel, which
feed a folded cascaded stage. The PNP stage is active
for input voltages close to the negative rail, and the NPN
stage is active for input voltages close to the positive rail.
The offsets of the two pairs are trimmed. However,
there is some residual mismatch between them. This
mismatch results in a two-level input offset characteristic, with a transition region between the levels occurring
at a common-mode voltage of approximately 1.3V
above VEE. Unlike other rail-to-rail op amps, the transition region has been widened to approximately 600mV
in order to minimize the slight degradation in CMRR
caused by this mismatch.
Even with their low quiescent current of less than
130µA per op amp, the MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094
are well suited for driving loads up to 1kΩ while maintaining DC accuracy. Stability while driving heavy
capacitive loads is another key advantage over comparable CMOS rail-to-rail op amps.
In op amp circuits, driving large capacitive loads
increases the likelihood of oscillation. This is especially
true for circuits with high-loop gains, such as a unitygain voltage follower. The output impedance and a
capacitive load form an RC network that adds a pole to
the loop response and induces phase lag. If the pole
frequency is low enough—as when driving a large
capacitive load––the circuit phase margin is degraded,
leading to either an under-damped pulse response or
oscillation.
The input bias currents of the MAX4091/MAX4092/
MAX4094 are typically less than 20nA. The bias current
flows into the device when the NPN input stage is
active, and it flows out when the PNP input stage is
active. To reduce the offset error caused by input bias
current flowing through external source resistances,
The MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094 can drive capacitive
loads in excess of 2000pF under certain conditions
(Figure 4). When driving capacitive loads, the greatest
potential for instability occurs when the op amp is
sourcing approximately 200µA. Even in this case, stability is maintained with up to 400pF of output capaci-

Because the MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094 have excellent stability, no isolation resistor is required, except in
the most demanding applications. This is beneficial
because an isolation resistor would degrade the lowfrequency performance of the circuit.
Power-Up Settling Time
The MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094 have a typical supply current of 130µA per op amp. Although supply current is already low, it is sometimes desirable to reduce
it further by powering down the op amp and associated
ICs for periods of time. For example, when using a
MAX4092 to buffer the inputs of a multi-channel analogto-digital converter (ADC), much of the circuitry could
be powered down between data samples to increase
battery life. If samples are taken infrequently, the op
amps, along with the ADC, may be powered down
most of the time.
When power is reapplied to the MAX4091/MAX4092/
MAX4094, it takes some time for the voltages on the
supply pin and the output pin of the op amp to settle.
Supply settling time depends on the supply voltage, the
value of the bypass capacitor, the output impedance of
the incoming supply, and any lead resistance or inductance between components. Op amp settling time
depends primarily on the output voltage and is slewrate limited. With the noninverting input to a voltage follower held at midsupply (Figure 9), when the supply
steps from 0 to VCC, the output settles in approximately
2µs for VCC = 3V (Figure 10a) and 8µs for VCC = 5V
(Figure 10b).
Power Supplies and Layout
The MAX4091/MAX4092/MAX4094 operate from a single 2.7V to 6V power supply, or from dual supplies of
±1.35V to ±3V. For single-supply operation, bypass the
power supply with a 0.1µF capacitor. If operating from
dual supplies, bypass each supply to ground.
Good layout improves performance by decreasing the
amount of stray capacitance at the op amp’s inputs
and output. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize
both trace lengths and resistor leads and place external components close to the op amp’s pins.

tance. If the output sources either more or less current,
stability is increased. These devices perform well with a
1000pF pure capacitive load (Figure 5). Figures 6a, 6b,
and 6c show the performance with a 500pF load in parallel with various load resistors.
To increase stability while driving large-capacitive
loads, connect a pullup resistor to VCC at the output to
decrease the current the amplifier must source. If the
amplifier is made to sink current rather than source,
stability is further increased.
Frequency stability can be improved by adding an output isolation resistor (RS) to the voltage-follower circuit
(Figure 7). This resistor improves the phase margin of
the circuit by isolating the load capacitor from the op
amp’s output. Figure 8a shows the MAX4092 driving
5000pF (RL ≥ 100kΩ), while Figure 8b adds a 47Ω isolation resistor.
