Key Featrues

Low Input Voltage-Noise Density (4.5nV/√Hz): This feature ensures minimal noise interference, making the MAX4478AUD+T ideal for applications requiring high signal fidelity, such as medical instrumentation and low-noise microphone preamplifiers. The reduced noise enhances the accuracy and clarity of signal processing.
Rail-to-Rail Output Swings with 1kΩ Load: The ability to swing the output voltage close to the supply rails maximizes the dynamic range of the amplifier. This is particularly beneficial in single-supply operations, allowing for efficient signal amplification in low-voltage environments like portable devices.
Low Distortion (0.0002% THD+N): With ultra-low total harmonic distortion plus noise, this amplifier is suitable for high-fidelity audio applications and precision measurement systems. It ensures that the amplified signal remains true to the original, minimizing errors in sensitive applications.
Single-Supply Operation (2.7V to 5.5V): The ability to operate from a single low-voltage supply makes the MAX4478AUD+T versatile for battery-powered devices and compact designs. This feature extends its use cases to portable electronics, IoT devices, and other low-power applications.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode (0.01µA): The shutdown mode significantly reduces power consumption when the amplifier is not in use, making it energy-efficient for intermittent operation scenarios. This is particularly useful in power-sensitive applications like remote sensors or wearable devices, where battery life is critical.
