MAX41400
Low-Power, Precision Instrumentation
Amplifier with Programmable Gain
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX41400 is a low-power, high-precision instrumentation amplifier with programmable gain through input
pins.
●
●
●
●
●
Available in a space-saving, 9-bump wafer-level package
(WLP) with a 0.4mm bump pitch, it is designed for use in
portable medical and industrial sensor applications.
The device features internal EMI filters to protect from RF
disturbances and EMI. The internal fixed gain can be selected from 10V/V to 250V/V. The gain-setting resistors
are located inside the device, thus minimizing gain drift
variations over the temperature range.
The MAX41400 features rail-to-rail CMOS inputs and outputs; a 28kHz, -3dB bandwidth at just 65µA (typ) supply
current; and 25µV (max) zero-drift input offset voltage over
time and temperature. The zero-drift feature eliminates the
high 1/f noise typically found in CMOS input amplifiers,
making it useful for a wide variety of low-frequency measurement applications.
The MAX41400 operates from a 1.7V to 3.6V power supply voltage and is specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
