50 µA supply current — the battery-life enabler
The Maxim Integrated MAX4480AUK-T is a single general-purpose op amp that draws only 50 µA of supply current, making it a strong candidate for battery-powered and always-on sensor interfaces where every microamp counts. The 140 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 0.08 V/µs slew rate are modest — this part is tuned for DC and low-frequency precision, not fast transient response. Input bias current is 0.1 pA typical, suiting high-impedance sources like photodiode or pH probe front-ends.
SOT-23-5 footprint and temperature range
Housed in a SOT-23-5 package, the MAX4480AUK-T fits tight PCB layouts where board area is at a premium. Surface-mount assembly is standard; no special reflow profile beyond the usual for small-outline packages.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence worry
The part is listed as RoHS non-compliant — verify your assembly's regulatory requirements.
