MAXIM MAX4199

19-1445; Rev 1; 6/04
Micropower, Single-Supply, Rail-to-Rail
Precision Differential Amplifiers
The MAX4198/MAX4199 low-power, rail-to-rail differential
amplifiers are ideal for single-supply applications that
benefit from a low 0.01% gain error. The MAX4198 is factory trimmed to a fixed gain of +1V/V, and the MAX4199
is trimmed to a fixed gain of +10V/V. Capable of operating from a single +2.7V to +7.5V supply or from dual
±1.35V to ±3.75V supplies, they consume only 42µA
while achieving -3dB bandwidths of 175kHz (MAX4198)
and 45kHz (MAX4199). These amplifiers feature a shutdown mode that reduces the supply current to 6.5µA.
The MAX4198/MAX4199 can drive 5kΩ loads to within
100mV from each rail. The standard differential amplifier configurations provide common-mode rejection of
90dB for the MAX4198 and 110dB for the MAX4199.
The input common-mode voltage range for the
MAX4198 extends 100mV Beyond-the-Rails™.
The MAX4198/MAX4199 are offered in a space-saving
8-pin µMAX package. For complete micropower, rail-torail instrumentation amplifiers, see the MAX4194–
MAX4197 data sheet.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX4198/MAX4199 are precision low-power differential amplifiers with factory-trimmed internal gain-setting resistors. The MAX4198 is trimmed to a gain of
+1V/V and the MAX4199 is trimmed to a gain of +10V/V.
Input Stage
The Functional Diagram shows the internal structure of
the MAX4198/MAX4199. Although the resistors are precision matched, their absolute value varies by ±25%.
The typical input impedance for the MAX4198 is 50kΩ
for the noninverting input and 25kΩ for the inverting
input. The typical input impedance for the MAX4199 is
275kΩ for the noninverting input and 25kΩ for the
inverting input.
The common-mode inputs of the internal op amp can
range from VEE to (VCC - 1.1V). Although the inputs to
the internal op amp are not rail-to-rail, the internal resistors form a voltage divider that extends the input common-mode range beyond-the-rails for the MAX4198.
The overall input range of the MAX4198 extends 100mV
beyond-the-rails without adversely affecting commonmode rejection or undergoing phase reversal (VCC =
5V). The MAX4199 input common-mode range extends
from 100mV below the negative rail to (VCC - 1V) (see
the Input Common-Mode Voltage Range vs. Supply
Voltage graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics).

Rail-to-Rail Output Stage
The MAX4198/MAX4199 output stage incorporates a
common-source rail-to-rail structure which maximizes the
dynamic range of the differential amplifier. The output
can swing to within 100mV from each rail with a 5kΩ load
to VCC / 2 (see the Typical Operating Characteristics).

VCC
Shutdown Mode
The MAX4198/MAX4199 have an active-low shutdown
input. SHDN input logic thresholds are referenced to
VCC, not to GND. Pulling SHDN 2.5V below the positive
rail places the amplifiers in a 12µA (max) shutdown
mode. The MAX4198/MAX4199 exit or enter shutdown
in 35µs. In shutdown, the OUT pin is high-impedance.

Applications Information
Driving Capacitive Loads
The MAX4198/MAX4199 are relatively immune to oscillations caused when driving large capacitive loads.
Although heavy load capacitance increases transient ringing, sustained oscillations typically do not occur for loads
under 600pF (see Pulse Response with Capacitive Load
in the Typical Operating Characteristics). Applications that
require driving higher capacitive loads can isolate the output capacitance using a 15Ω to 100Ω resistor between the
amplifier output and the load (Figure 1). Although adding
an isolation resistor dampens the response enough to prevent oscillations, it does so at the expense of bandwidth
and DC accuracy.

Power Supply Considerations
The MAX4198/MAX4199 operate from single +2.7V to
+7.5V supplies or from dual ±1.35V to ±3.75V supplies,
and they consume only 45µA of supply current.
Excellent power-supply rejection permits the amplifiers
to be operated directly from a decaying 3V cell without
excessive error. To maximize AC performance, the supply must be bypassed with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
to ground that must be as close as possible to the pin.
If dual supplies are used, bypass both supply pins with
0.1µF to ground.

Application Circuits
Differential amplifiers can be used in single-ended and
other amplifier applications. Figures 2 through 6 show
the MAX4198/MAX4199 in different configurations. The
internally trimmed and matched resistors offer convenience and have a distinct advantage over external
resistors. These amplifiers are not compensated for single-ended unity gain; therefore, IN- should not be connected to OUT or left unconnected.

also be used as an instrumentation amplifier building
block. The circuit of Figure 7 takes advantage of the
10pA (max), 0.1pA (typ) bias current of the MAX406A
to form an instrumentation amplifier similar to the
MAX4194 family, except with lower input bias currents.
The MAX406A's low 1.2µA supply current maintains a
low overall supply current.

Instrumentation Amplifier Applications
For applications that require a complete low-power
instrumentation amplifier, refer to the MAX4194–
MAX4197 data sheet. Some differential to single-ended
voltage amplifier applications that do not require a high
input impedance can use the MAX4198/MAX4199 for
gains of +1V/V or +10V/V. The MAX4198/MAX4199 can
