The MAX4465–MAX4469 are micropower op amps optimized for use as microphone preamplifiers. They provide the ideal combination of an optimized gain bandwidth product vs. supply current, and low-voltage operation in an ultra-small package. The MAX4465/MAX4467/MAX4469 are unity-gain stable and deliver a 200kHz gain bandwidth from only 24µA of supply current. The MAX4466/MAX4468 are decompensated for a minimum stable gain of +5V/V and provide a 600kHz gain bandwidth product. In addition these amplifiers feature rail-to-rail outputs, high AVOL, plus excellent power-supply rejection and common-mode rejection ratios for operation in noisy environments.The MAX4467/MAX4468 include a complete shutdown mode. In shutdown, the amplifiers' supply current is reduced to 5nA and the bias current to the external microphone is cut off for ultimate power savings. The single MAX4465/MAX4466 are offered in the ultra-small 5-pin SC70 package, while the single with shutdown MAX4467/MAX4468 and dual MAX4469 are available in the space-saving 8-pin SOT23 package.ApplicationsCell PhonesDigital Dictation DevicesHeadsetsHearing AidsMicrophone PreamplifiersPortable ComputingVoice-Recognition Systems

The MAX4464/MAX4470/MAX4471/MAX4472/MAX4474 family of micropower op amps operate from a single +1.8V to +5.5V supply and draw only 750nA of supply current. The MAX4470 family feature ground-sensing inputs and rail-to-rail output. The ultra-low supply current, low-operating voltage, and rail-to-rail output capabilities make these operational amplifiers ideal for use in single lithium ion (Li+), or two-cell NiCd or alkaline battery systems.The rail-to-rail output stage of the MAX4464/MAX4470/MAX4471/MAX4472/MAX4474 amplifiers is capable of driving the output voltage to within 4mV of the rail with a 100kΩ load, and can sink and source 11mA with a +5V supply. These amplifiers are available in both fully compensated and decompensated versions. The single MAX4470, dual MAX4471, and the quad MAX4472 are unity-gain stable. The single MAX4464 and the dual MAX4474 are stable for closed-loop gain configurations of ≥ +5V/V. These amplifiers are available in space-saving WLP, SC70, SOT23, µMAX®, and TSSOP packages.ApplicationsBadgesBattery-Powered SystemsCellular HandsetsDigital Cameras (DIGICAMs)Electrometer AmplifiersGlucose MetersGPS SolutionsIP CameraMicropowerMP3 and Portable Media PlayersPagers and CellphonespH MetersPortable InstrumentationRemote Sensor ActiveSolar-Powered SystemsThermostats
