General Description
The MAX4174/MAX4175/MAX4274/MAX4275 Gain-Amp? family combines a low-cost Rail-to-Rail ?op amp with precision internal gain-setting resistors and V CC / 2biasing. Factory-trimmed on-chip resistors decrease design size, cost, and layout, and provide 0.1% gain accuracy. Fixed inverting gains from -0.25V/V to -100V/V or noninverting gains from +1.25V/V to +101V/V are available. These devices operate from a single +2.5V to +5.5V supply and consume only 300μA.GainAmp amplifiers are optimally compensated for each gain version, achieving exceptional GBW prod-ucts up to 23MHz (A V = +25V/V to +101V/V). High-volt-age fault protection withstands ±17V at either input without excessive current draw.
Three versions are available in this amplifier family: single/dual/quad open-loop, unity-gain stable (MAX4281/MAX4282/MAX4284); single/dual fixed gain (MAX4174/MAX4274); and single/dual fixed gain plus internal V CC / 2bias at the noninverting input (MAX4175/MAX4275), which simplifies input biasing in single-supply designs. The input common-mode voltage range of the open-loop amplifiers extends from 150mV below the negative supply to within 1.2V of the positive supply.The outputs can swing rail-to-rail and drive a 1k ?load while maintaining excellent DC accuracy. The amplifier is stable for capacitive loads up to 470pF.

Pin Description
Detailed Description Maxim’s GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers combine a low-cost rail-to-rail op amp with internal gain-setting resis-tors. Factory-trimmed on-chip resistors provide 0.1% gain accuracy while decreasing design size, cost, and layout. Three versions are available in this amplifier family: single/dual/quad open-loop, unity-gain-stable devices (MAX4281/MAX4282/MAX4284); single/dual fixed-gain devices (MAX4174/MAX4274); and single/ dual devices with fixed gain plus internal V CC / 2 bias at the noninverting input (MAX4175/MAX4275). All amplifiers feature rail-to-rail outputs and drive a 1k?load while maintaining excellent DC accuracy.
Open-Loop Op Amps The single/dual/quad MAX4281/MAX4282/MAX4284 are high-performance, open-loop op amps with rail-to-rail outputs. These devices are compensated for unity-gain stability, and feature a gain bandwidth (GBW) of 2MHz. The op amps in these ICs feature an input com-mon-mode range that extends from 150mV below the negative rail to within 1.2V of the positive rail. These high performance op amps serve as the core for this family of GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers. Although the -3dB bandwidth will not correspond to that of a fixed-gain amplifier in higher gain configurations, these open-loop op-amps can be used to prototype designs.
Internal Gain-Setting Resistors Maxim’s proprietary laser trimming techniques produce the necessary R F/R G values (Figure 1), so many gain offerings are easily available. These GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers feature a negative-feedback resistor network that is laser trimmed to provide a gain-setting feedback ratio (R F/R G) with 0.1% typical accuracy. The standard op amp pinouts allow the GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers to drop in directly to existing board designs, easily replacing op-amp-plus-resistor gain blocks.
GainAmp Bandwidth GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers feature factory-trimmed precision resistors to provide fixed inverting gains from -0.25V/V to -100V/V or noninverting gains from +1.25V/V to +101V/V. The op-amp core is decompen-sated strategically over the gain-set options to maxi-mize bandwidth. Open-loop decompensation increases GBW product, ensuring that usable bandwidth is main-tained with increasing closed-loop gains. A GainAmp with a fixed gain of A V= 100V/V has a -3dB bandwidth of 230kHz. By comparison, a unity-gain-stable op amp configured for A V= 100V/V would yield a -3dB band-width of only 20kHz (Figure 2). Decompensation is per-formed at five intermediate gain sets, as shown in the Gain Selection Guide. Low gain decompensation great-ly increases usable bandwidth, while decompensation above gains of +25V/V offers diminished returns.
V CC / 2 Internal Bias The MAX4175/MAX4275 GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers with the V CC / 2 bias option are identical to standard GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers, with the added feature of V CC / 2 internal bias at the noninverting inputs. Two 150k?resistors form a voltage-divider for self-biasing the noninverting input, eliminating external bias resis-tors for AC-coupled applications, and allowing maxi-mum signal swing at the op amp’s rail-to-rail output for single-supply systems (see Typical Operating Circuit). For DC-coupled applications, use the MAX4174/ MAX4274.
High-Voltage (±17V) Input Fault Protection The MAX4174/MAX4175/MAX4274/MAX4275 include ±17V input fault protection. For normal operation, see the input voltage range specification in the Electrical Characteristics. Overdriven inputs up to ±17V will not

cause output phase reversal. A back-to-back SCR structure at the input pins allows either input to safely swing ±17V relative to V EE (Figure 3). Additionally, the internal op-amp inputs are diode clamped to either supply rail for the protection of sensitive input stage cir-cuitry. Current through the clamp diodes is limited by a 5k ?resistor at the noninverting input, and by R G at the inverting input. An IN+ or IN- fault voltage as high as ±17V will cause less than 3.5mA of current to flow through the input pin, protecting both the GainAmp and the signal source from damage.
Applications Information
GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers offer a precision, fixed gain amplifier in a small package that can be used in a variety of circuit board designs. GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers can be used in many op amp circuits that use resistive negative feedback to set gain, and that do not require other connections to the op-amp inverting input.Both inverting and noninverting op-amp configurations can be implemented easily using a GainAmp.
GainAmp Input Voltage Range
The MAX4174/MAX4175/MAX4274/MAX4275 combine both an op amp and gain-setting feedback resistors on the same chip. Because the inverting input pin is actu-ally tied to the R G input series resistor, the inverting input voltage range is different from the noninverting input voltage range. Just as with a discrete design,care must be taken not to saturate the inputs/output of the core op amp, to avoid signal distortions or clipping.The inverting inputs (IN_-) of the MAX4174/MAX4175/MAX4274/MAX4275 must be within the supply rails or signal distortion may result. The GainAmp’s inverting input structure includes diodes to both supplies, such that driving the inverting input beyond the rails may cause signal distortions (Figure 1). For applications that require sensing voltages beyond the rails, use the MAX4281/MAX4282/MAX4284 open-loop op amps (Figure 4).

GainAmp Signal Coupling
and Configurations
Common op-amp configurations include both nonin-verting and inverting amplifiers. Figures 5–8 show vari-ous single and dual-supply circuit configurations.Single-supply systems benefit from a midsupply bias on the noninverting input (provided internally on MAX4175/MAX4275), as this produces a quiescent DC level at the center of the rail-to-rail output stage signal swing. For dual-supply systems, ground-referenced signals may be DC-coupled into the inverting or non-inverting inputs.
IN_+ Filter on MAX4175/MAX4275
Internal resistor biasing of the V CC / 2 bias options cou-ples power-supply noise directly to the op amp’s nonin-verting input. To minimize high-frequency power-supply noise coupling, add a 1μF to 0.1μF capacitor from IN+to ground to create a lowpass filter (Figure 6). The low-pass filter resulting from the internal bias resistors and added capacitor can help eliminate higher frequency power-supply noise coupling through the noninverting input.

Supply Bypassing and Board Layout
All devices in the GainAmp family operate from a +2.5V to +5.5V single supply or from ±1.25V to ±2.75V dual supplies. For single-supply operation, bypass the power supply with a 0.1μF capacitor to ground. For dual supplies, bypass each supply to ground. Bypass with capacitors as close to the device as possible, to min-imize lead inductance and noise. A printed circuit board with a low-inductance ground plane is recommended.
Capacitive-Load Stability
Driving large capacitive loads can cause instability in most low-power, rail-to-rail output amplifiers. The fixed-
gain amplifiers of this GainAmp family are stable with capacitive loads up to 470pF. Stability with higher capacitive loads can be improved by adding an isolation resistor in series with the op-amp output, as shown in Figure 9. This resistor improves the circuit’s phase mar-gin by isolating the load capacitor from the amplifier’s output. In Figure 10, a 1000pF capacitor is driven with a 100?isolation resistor exhibiting some overshoot but no oscillation. Figures 11 and 12 show the typical small-sig-nal pulse responses of GainAmp fixed-gain amplifiers with 250pF and 470pF capacitive loads and no isolation resistor.
