The MAX5426 is ideal for programmable instrumentation
amplifier applications. The typical application circuit of
Figure 1 uses the MAX5426 in classical instrumentation
amplifier configurations. Two digital inputs set the gain to
1, 2, 4, or 8.
Selection of an op amp for instrumentation amplifier cir-
cuits depends on the accuracy requirements of the
specific application. General guidelines are to choose
an op amp with sufficient open-loop gain, low input-off-
set voltage, and a high common-mode rejection ratio.
High open-loop gain is needed to increase the gain
accuracy, while low input-offset voltage and low input-
offset current help meet gain and offset requirements.
Other parameters such as low input capacitance, low
input bias current, high input common-mode range,
and low noise often need to be considered for a wide
input voltage range stability and AC considerations.
The MAX427 is an excellent choice to use with the
MAX5426.

Figure 2 shows the application of the MAX5426 as a dual
attenuator that can be used in stereo audio systems.
The MAX5426 operates from dual ±5V to ±15V sup-
plies. In many applications the MAX5426 does not
require bypassing. If power-supply noise is excessive,
bypass V
GND.
For best performance, reduce parasitic board capaci-
tance by minimizing the circuit board trace from ampli-
fier outputs to inverting inputs. Also choose op amps
with low input capacitance.
