Datasheet
General Description
The single MAX9914/MAX9915 and dual MAX9916/ 
MAX9917 operational amplifiers feature maximized ratio 
of gain bandwidth to supply current and are ideal for 
battery-powered applications such as portable instru-
mentation, portable medical equipment, and wireless 
handsets. These CMOS op amps feature an ultra-low 
1pA input bias current, rail-to-rail inputs and outputs, 
low 20μA supply current, and operate from a single 1.8V 
to  5.5V  supply.  For  additional  power  conservation,  the 
MAX9915/MAX9917 feature a low-power shutdown mode 
that reduces supply current to 1nA, and puts the amplifier 
outputs  in  a high-impedance  state.  These  devices  are 
unity-gain stable with a 1MHz gain-bandwidth product.
The MAX9914 and MAX9915 are available in 5-pin and 
6-pin SC70 packages, respectively. The MAX9916 is avail-
able in an 8-pin SOT23 package, and the MAX9917 in a 
10-pin μMAX
®
 package. All devices are specified over the 
-40°C to +85°C extended operating temperature range.
