when operating from a single +5V supply. If the buffer is
operated in the noninverting, gain of +2 configuration
with the inverting input grounded, the effective input
voltage range becomes 20mV to 1.7V, instead of the
-100mV to 2.75V indicated by the Electrical Character-
istics. Beyond the effective input range, the buffer out-
put is a nonlinear function of the input, but it will not
undergo phase reversal or latchup.

The MAX4019 has an enable feature (EN_) that allows
the buffer to be placed in a low-power state. When the
buffers are disabled, the supply current will not exceed
550µA per buffer.

As the voltage at the EN_ pin approaches the negative
supply rail, the EN_ input current rises. Figure 2 shows
a graph of EN_ input current versus EN_ pin voltage.
Figure 3 shows the addition of an optional resistor in
series with the EN pin, to limit the magnitude of the cur-
rent increase. Figure 4 displays the resulting EN pin
input current to voltage relationship.

tions. The outputs drive a 2kΩ load to within 60mV of
the power-suply rails. With heavier loads, the output
swing is reduced as shown in the Electrical Character-
istics and the Typical Operating Characteristics. As the
load increases, the input range is effectively limited by
