MAX44246
36V, Low-Noise, Precision, Dual Op Amp
General Description
Features
The MAX44246 is a 36V, ultra-precision, low-noise, low-
drift, dual operational amplifier that offers near-zero DC
offset and drift through the use of patented chopper
stabilized and auto-zeroing techniques. This method
constantly measures and compensates the input offset,
eliminating drift over time and temperature and the effect
of 1/f noise. This dual device features rail-to-rail outputs,
operates from a single 2.7V to 36V supply or dual 1.3ꢀV
to 1ꢁV supplies, and consumes only ꢂ.42mA per chan-
nel, with only 9nV/√Hz input-referred voltage noise.

suited for applications requiring ultra-low noise, and DC
precision such as interfacing with pressure sensors,
strain gauges, precision weight scales, and medical
instrumentation.
