MAX4238ASA+T

Maxim Integrated · Operational Amplifier · SOIC-8

MAX4238ASA+T from Maxim Integrated, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SHDN input Active-low shutdown input; connect to VCC for normal operation, and pulling it low stops the clock and puts the output in a high-impedance state.
2 IN- input Inverting input of the amplifier.
3 IN+ input Noninverting input of the amplifier, with ground-sensing input capability.
4 GND power_in Ground reference for the device; the supply is specified from 2.7V to 5.5V above GND.
5 N.C. unconnected No connection; not internally connected.
6 OUT output Amplifier output with rail-to-rail swing, specified with RL = 1kΩ.
7 VCC power_in Positive power supply, operating from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply.
8 N.C. unconnected No connection; not internally connected.
