MAXIM MAX4253EBC-T

19-1295; Rev 4; 1/02
UCSP, Single-Supply, Low-Noise,
Low-Distortion, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
For additional power conservation, the MAX4249/
MAX4251/MAX4253/MAX4256 offer a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 0.5µA and
puts the amplifiers’ outputs into a high-impedance
state. The MAX4249-MAX4257’s outputs swing rail-torail and their input common-mode voltage range
includes ground. The MAX4250–MAX4254 are unitygain stable with a gain-bandwidth product of 3MHz.
The MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/MAX4257 are internally compensated for gains of 10V/V or greater with a
gain-bandwidth product of 22MHz. The single
MAX4250/MAX4255 are available in space-saving 5-pin
SOT23 packages. The MAX4252 is available in an 8-pin
ultra chip-scale package (UCSP™) and the MAX4253 is
available in a 10-pin UCSP.

MAX4249–MAX4257
General Description
The MAX4249–MAX4257 low-noise, low-distortion operational amplifiers offer Rail-to-Rail® outputs and singlesupply operation down to 2.4V. They draw 400µA of
quiescent supply current per amplifier while featuring
ultra-low distortion (0.0002% THD), as well as low input
voltage-noise density (7.9nV/√Hz) and low input
current-noise density (0.5fA/√Hz). These features make
the devices an ideal choice for portable/battery-powered applications that require low distortion and/or low
noise.

This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragrah 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection Reflow.
Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
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.

Detailed Description
The MAX4249–MAX4257 single-supply operational
amplifiers feature ultra-low noise and distortion while
consuming very little power. Their low distortion and low
noise make them ideal for use as preamplifiers in wide
dynamic-range applications, such as 16-bit analog-todigital converters (see Typical Operating Circuit). Their
high-input impedance and low noise are also useful for
signal conditioning of high-impedance sources, such
as piezoelectric transducers.
These devices have true rail-to-rail ouput operation,
drive loads as low as 1kΩ while maintining DC accura-
cy, and can drive capactive loads up to 400pF without
oscillation. The input common-mode voltage range
extends from VDD - 1.1V to 200mV beyond the negative
rail. The push-pull output stage maintains excellent DC
characteristics, while delivering up to ±5mA of current.
The MAX4250–4254 are unity-gain stable, whereas, the
MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/MAX4257 have a higher
slew rate and are stable for gains ≥ 10V/V. The
MAX4249/MAX4251/MAX4253/MAX4256 feature a lowpower shutdown mode, which reduces the supply current to 0.5µA and disables the outputs.

Low Distortion
Many factors can affect the noise and distortion that the
device contributes to the input signal. The following
guidelines offer valuable information on the impact of
design choices on Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Choosing proper feedback and gain resistor values for
a particular application can be a very important factor
in reducing THD. In general, the smaller the closedloop gain, the smaller the THD generated, especially
when driving heavy resistive loads. Large-value feedback resistors can significantly improve distortion. The
THD of the part normally increases at approximately
20dB per decade, as a function of frequency.
Operating the device near or above the full-power
bandwidth significantly degrades distortion.
Referencing the load to either supply also improves the
part’s distortion performance, because only one of the
MOSFETs of the push-pull output stage drives the output. Referencing the load to midsupply increases the
part’s distortion for a given load and feedback setting.
(See the Total Harmonic Distortion vs. Frequency graph
in the Typical Operating Characteristics.)
For gains ≥ 10V/V, the decompensated devices
MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/MAX4257 deliver the
best distortion performance, since they have a higher
slew rate and provide a higher amount of loop gain for
a given closed-loop gain setting. Capacitive loads
below 400pF, do not significantly affect distortion
results. Distortion performance remains relatively constant over supply voltages.

Low Noise
The amplifier’s input-referred, noise-voltage density is
dominated by flicker noise at lower frequencies, and by
thermal noise at higher frequencies. Because the thermal noise contribution is affected by the parallel combination of the feedback resistive network (R F || R G ,
Figure 1), these resistors should be reduced in cases
where the system bandwidth is large and thermal noise
is dominant. This noise contribution factor decreases,
however, with increasing gain settings.
For example, the input noise-voltage density of the circuit with RF = 100kΩ, RG = 11kΩ (AV = 10V/V) is en =
15nV/√Hz, en can be reduced to 9nV/√Hz by choosing
RF = 10kΩ, RG = 1.1kΩ (AV = 10V/V), at the expense
of greater current consumption and potentially higher
distortion. For a gain of 100V/V with RF = 100kΩ, RG =
1.1kΩ, the en is low (9nV/√Hz).

The amplifier’s input capacitance is 11pF. If the resistance seen by the inverting input is large (feedback
network), this can introduce a pole within the amplifier’s
bandwidth, resulting in reduced phase margin.
Compensate the reduced phase margin by introducing
a feed-forward capacitor (CZ) between the inverting
input and the output (Figure 1). This effectively cancels
the pole from the inverting input of the amplifier.
Choose the value of CZ as follows:
CZ = 11 x (RF / RG) [pF]

AV = 1
VDD = 5V
RL = 10kΩ
In the unity-gain stable MAX4250–MAX4254, the use of
a proper CZ is most important for AV = 2V/V, and AV =
-1V/V. In the decompensated MAX4249/MAX4255
/MAX4256/MAX4257, CZ is most important for AV =
10V/V. Figures 2a and 2b show transient response both
with and without CZ.
Using a slightly smaller CZ than suggested by the formula above achieves a higher bandwidth at the
expense of reduced phase and gain margin. As a general guideline, consider using CZ for cases where RG ||
R F is greater than 20kΩ (MAX4250–MAX4254) or
greater than 5kΩ (MAX4249/MAX4255/MAX4256/
MAX4257).
Applications Information
The MAX4249–MAX4257 combine good driving capability with ground-sensing input and rail-to-rail output
operation. With their low distortion, low noise and lowpower consumption, these devices are ideal for use in
portable instrumentation systems and other low-power,
noise-sensitive applications.

The common-mode input range of these devices
extends below ground, and offers excellent commonmode rejection. These devices are guaranteed not to
undergo phase reversal when the input is overdriven
(Figure 3).
Figure 4 showcases the true rail-to-rail output operation
of the amplifier, configured with AV = 10V/V. The output
swings to within 8mV of the supplies with a 10kΩ load,
making the devices ideal in low-supply-voltage applications.

Even with their low quiescent current of 400µA, these
amplifiers can drive 1kΩ loads while maintaining excellent DC accuracy. Stability while driving heavy capacitive loads is another key feature.

Good layout improves performance by decreasing the
amount of stray capacitance and noise at the op amp’s
inputs and output. To decrease stray capacitance, minimize PC board trace lengths and resistor leads, and
place external components close to the op amp’s pins.

CAPACITIVE LOAD (pF)
Figure 7. Peaking vs. Capacitive Load
These devices maintain stability while driving loads up
to 400pF. To drive higher capacitive loads, place a
small isolation resistor in series between the output of
the amplifier and the capacitive load (Figure 5). This
resistor improves the amplifier’s phase margin by isolating the capacitor from the op amp’s output. Reference
Figure 6 to select a resistance value that will ensure a
load capacitance that limits peaking to <2dB (25%).
For example, if the capacitive load is 1000pF, the corresponding isolation resistor is 150Ω. Figure 7 shows that
peaking occurs without the isolation resistor. Figure 8
shows the unity-gain bandwidth vs. capacitive load for
the MAX4250–MAX4254.

UCSP Reliability
The UCSP represents a unique packaging form factor
that may not perform equally to a packaged product
through traditional mechanical reliability tests. UCSP
reliability is integrally linked to the user’s assembly
methods, circuit board material, and usage environment. The user should closely review these areas when
considering use of a UCSP. Performance through operating life test and moisture resistance remains uncompromised as it is primarily determined by the
wafer-fabrication process. Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration for a UCSP. UCSPs
are attached through direct solder contact to the user’s
PC board, foregoing the inherent stress relief of a packaged product lead frame. Solder-joint contact integrity
must be considered. Table 1 shows the testing done to
characterize the UCSP reliability performance. In conclusion, the UCSP is capable of performing reliably
through environmental stresses as indicated by the
results in the table. Additional usage data and recommendations are detailed in the UCSP application note,
which can be found on Maxim’s website at
www.maxim-ic.com.
