Maxim MAX4036 Low ibias, 1.4v/800na, rail-to-rail op amps with 1.2v buffered reference Datasheet

19-3142; Rev 5; 11/09
Low IBIAS, +1.4V/800nA, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps
with +1.2V Buffered Reference
Features
The single MAX4036/MAX4037 and dual MAX4038/
MAX4039 operational amplifiers operate from a single
+1.4V to +3.6V (without reference) or +1.8V to +3.6V (with
reference) supply and consume only 800nA of supply
current per amplifier, and 1.1µA for the optional reference. The MAX4036/MAX4038 feature a common-mode
input voltage range from 0V to VDD - 0.4V at VDD = 1.4V.
The MAX4037/MAX4039 feature a 1.232V voltage reference capable of sourcing 100µA and sinking 20µA.
The MAX4036–MAX4039s’ rail-to-rail outputs drive 5kΩ
loads to within 25mV of the rails. Ultra-low supply current,
low operating voltage, and rail-to-rail outputs make the
MAX4036–MAX4039 ideal for use in single-cell lithium-ion
(Li+), or two-cell NiCd/NiMH/alkaline battery-powered
applications.
The MAX4036 is available in an SC70 package, the
MAX4037 in a SOT23 package, and the MAX4038/
MAX4039 in UCSP™, µMAX®, and TDFN packages.
♦ Ultra-Low 800nA per Amplifier Supply Current
♦ Ultra-Low 1.4V Supply Voltage Operation (1.8V for
MAX4037/MAX4039)
♦ Rail-to-Rail Outputs Drive 5kΩ and 5000pF Load
♦ 1.232V ±0.5%, 120ppm/°C (max) Reference
(MAX4037/MAX4039)
♦ No External Reference Bypass Capacitor
Required
♦ No Phase Reversal for Overdriven Inputs
♦ Low 1.0pA (typ) Input Bias Current
♦ Low 200μV Input Offset Voltage
♦ Unity-Gain Stable
♦ Available in Tiny UCSP, SC70, SOT23, TDFN, and
μMAX Packages
♦ Available in -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range

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 MAX4036–MAX4039 consume an ultra-low supply
current and have rail-to-rail output stages specifically
designed for low-voltage operation. The input commonmode voltage range extends from VDD - 0.4V to VSS,
although full rail-to-rail input range is possible with
degraded performance when operating from a supply
voltage above 3.0V. The input offset voltage is typically
200µV. Low-operating supply voltage, low supply current,
and rail-to-rail outputs make the MAX4036–MAX4039 an
excellent choice for precision or general-purpose lowvoltage, battery-powered systems.

Rail-to-Rail Outputs
The MAX4036–MAX4039 output stages can drive a 5kΩ
load and still swing to within 40mV of the rails. Figure 1
shows the output voltage swing of the MAX4036–
MAX4039 configured as a unity-gain buffer, powered
from a single 2.4V supply. The output for this setup typically swings from 5mV to VDD - 5mV with a 100kΩ load.

Power-Supply Considerations
The MAX4036–MAX4039 operate from a single 1.4V
(MAX4036/MAX4038) or 1.8V (MAX4037/MAX4039) to
3.6V supply. A high amplifier power-supply rejection
ratio of 82dB and the excellent reference line regulation
allow the devices to be powered directly from a decaying battery voltage, simplifying design and extending
battery life. The MAX4036–MAX4039 are ideally suited
for low-voltage battery-powered systems. The Typical
Operating Characteristics show the changes in supply
current and reference output as a function of supply
voltage.
Power-Up Settling Time
The MAX4036–MAX4039 typically require 0.25ms to
power-up. During this startup time, the output is indeterminate. The application circuit should allow for this
initial delay. See the Typical Operating Characteristics
for amplifier and reference settling time curves.
Driving Capacitive Loads: Op Amps
The MAX4036–MAX4039 amplifier(s) require no output
capacitor for stability, and are unity-gain stable for
loads up to 5000pF. Applications that require greater
capacitive-drive capability should use an isolation
resistor between the output and the capacitive load
(Figure 2). Note that this solution reduces the gain and
output voltage swing because RISO forms a voltagedivider with the load resistor.
Crossover Distortion
The MAX4036–MAX4039 output stages are capable of
sourcing and sinking currents with orders of magnitude
greater than the stages’ quiescent current, which is
less than 1µA. This ability to drive heavy loads with
such a small quiescent current introduces crossover

distortion as the output stage passes between sinking
and sourcing. In the crossover regions, the output
impedance of the MAX4036–MAX4039 increases substantially, thereby changing the load-driving characteristics. The distortion can be greatly reduced by
increasing the load resistance. For applications where
low load resistance is required, bias the load such that
the output current is always in one direction, to avoid
crossover distortion.
Reference Bypassing
The MAX4037/MAX4039 reference requires no external
capacitors.
Using the MAX4036–MAX4039 as a
Comparator
Although optimized for use as an operational amplifier,
the MAX4036–MAX4039 can be used as a rail-to-rail
I/O comparator (Figures 3, 4). External hysteresis can
be used to minimize the risk of output oscillation. The
positive feedback circuit, shown in Figure 4, causes the
input threshold to change when the output voltage
changes state.
Battery Monitoring Using the
MAX4037/MAX4039 and Hysteresis
The internal reference and low operating voltage of the
MAX4037/MAX4039 make the devices ideal for batterymonitoring applications. Hysteresis can be set using
resistors as shown in Figure 4, and the following design
procedure:
1) Choose R3. The input bias current of IN_+ is under
100pA over temperature, so a current through R3
around 100nA maintains accuracy. The current
through R3 at the trip point is VREF / R3, or 100nA
for R3 = 12MΩ. 10MΩ is a good practical value.
2)
AV =
VTHR
Choose the hysteresis voltage (VHB), the voltage
between the upper and lower thresholds. In this
example, choose VHB = 50mV (see Figure 3).
