Key Featrues

Low Supply Voltage Operation (2.4V to 5.5V): This feature allows the MAX4465–MAX4469 to operate efficiently in low-power environments, making them ideal for battery-powered devices such as hearing aids, portable computing, and cell phones. It ensures extended battery life and reliable performance in compact, energy-sensitive applications.
Complete Shutdown Capability (5nA): Available in the MAX4467/MAX4468 versions, this feature enables the device to consume minimal power (5nA) when in shutdown mode. This is particularly beneficial for applications like digital dictation devices or voice-recognition systems, where power conservation during idle periods is critical.
High Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (112dB): The excellent PSRR minimizes noise from the power supply, ensuring clean and stable signal amplification. This is crucial in noisy environments, such as microphone preamplifiers in headsets or hearing aids, where signal clarity is paramount.
Rail-to-Rail Outputs: This feature allows the output signal to swing close to the supply rails, maximizing dynamic range and ensuring high-fidelity signal reproduction. It is particularly useful in applications like portable computing and voice-recognition systems, where maintaining signal integrity is essential.
Low Quiescent Supply Current (24µA): The low current draw during operation enhances energy efficiency, making these amplifiers suitable for micropower applications like hearing aids and digital dictation devices. It ensures long operational life and reduced heat generation in compact designs.
