Detailed Description Rail-to-Rail Output Stage The MAX4480–MAX4483 can drive a 5kΩ load and still typically swing within 80mV of the supply rails. Figure 1 shows the MAX4480 output voltage swing configured with AV = +10V/V. Driving Capacitive Loads 1V/div Driving a capacitive load can cause instability in many op amps, especially those with low quiescent current. The MAX4480–MAX4483 are unity-gain stable for a range of capacitive loads to above 400pF. Figure 2 shows the MAX4480 response with an excessive capacitive load. 100µs/div Adding a series resistor between the output and the load capacitor (Figure 3) improves the circuit’s response by isolating the load capacitance from the op amp’s output.
