Frequently Asked Questions
What are these op-amps ideal for use with?
They are ideal for portable or battery-powered applications requiring low distortion and/or low noise due to their rail-to-rail outputs and single-supply operation.
How can I maximize power conservation when not in use?
The MAX4249 and related models include a low-power shut-down mode that reduces the supply current down to 0.5µA.
What is the maximum operating range for this device line?
General operation runs from -40°C to +85°C, although specific parts like MAX4250AAUK can operate up to +125°C.
What voltage window is supported by these amplifiers?
They support single-supply operation ranging from 2.4V minimum up to 5.5V maximum.
