Low I, +1.4V/800nA, Rail-to-Rail Op Amps with +1.2V Buffered Reference

The single MAX4036/MAX4037 and dual MAX4038/MAX4039 operational amplifiers operate from a single +1.4V to +3.6V (without reference) or +1.8V to +3.6V (with reference) supply and consume only 800nA of supply current per amplifier, and 1.1µA for the optional reference. The MAX4036/MAX4038 feature a common-mode input voltage range from 0V to VDD - 0.4V at VDD = 1.4V. The MAX4037/MAX4039 feature a 1.232V voltage reference capable of sourcing 100µA and sinking 20µA.

The MAX4036–MAX4039s' rail-to-rail outputs drive 5kΩ loads to within 25mV of the rails. Ultra-low supply current, low operating voltage, and rail-to-rail outputs make the MAX4036–MAX4039 ideal for use in single-cell lithium-ion (Li+), or two-cell NiCd/NiMH/alkaline battery-powered applications.

The MAX4036 is available in an SC70 package, the MAX4037 in a SOT23 package, and the MAX4038/MAX4039 in UCSP™, µMAX®, and TDFN packages.
