Detailed Description
Rail-to-Rail Output Stage
The MAX4400–MAX4403 can drive a 2kΩ load and still
typically swing within 55mV of the supply rails. Figure 1
shows the output voltage swing of the MAX4400 config-
ured with AV = +10V/V.
1V/div
Driving Capacitive Loads
Driving a capacitive load can cause instability in many
op amps, especially those with low quiescent current.
The MAX4400–MAX4403 are unity-gain stable for a
range of capacitive loads to above 400pF. Figure 2
shows the response of the MAX4400 with an excessive
capacitive load. Adding a series resistor between the
100µs/div
output and the load capacitor (Figure 3) improves the
