Description
The MAX4208/MAX4209 provide high-impedance inputs optimized for small-signal differential voltages (±100mV). All devices provide a gain-bandwidth product of 750kHz.
The MAX4208 provides an adjustable gain with two external resistors or unity gain with FB connected to OUT. The MAX4209 is available with a fixed gain of 100V/V with ±0.03% (typ) accuracy. Both devices include a reference input (REF) to level-shift the output, allowing for bipolar signals in single-supply applications. In both devices, REFIN/MODE is an input to a precision unity-gain buffer, which sets the REF voltage to level-shift the output. The internal REF buffer allows the reference to be set by a simple resistive divider or an ADC reference without any loading error.
The MAX4208/MAX4209 operate with a 2.85V to 5.5V single-supply voltage and consume only 750µA of quiescent current (when the internal buffer is off) and only 1.4µA in shutdown mode. These amplifiers also operate with ±2.5V dual supplies with REF connected to ground and REFIN/MODE to VSS. The MAX4208/MAX4209 are available in space-saving 8-pin µMAX packages and are specified over the automotive operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
