Maxim has introduced the MAX9617/MAX9618, zero-drift, rail-to-rail operational amplifiers. Packaged in 6-pin SC70 (single) and 8-pin SC70 (dual) packages, these devices deliver outstanding precision and low-noise performance while minimizing solution size. Additionally, the MAX9617/MAX9618 offer best-in-class power consumption to enable a new generation of portable medical devices. The Company's proprietary BiCMOS process technology and patent-pending design architectures enable these devices to achieve this excellent combination of size, power, and accuracy.
Designed to operate from 1.8V to 5.5V supplies, the MAX9617/MAX9618 are ideal for a wide variety of portable medical applications in which high accuracy and low quiescent current are critical. They are also well suited for industrial applications, such as loop-powered systems, that require a combination of low power and precision.
Advances in medical technology, along with rising healthcare costs, are propelling a move from clinical to outsourced care. From pulse oximetry to ECG imaging, the point of diagnosis is shifting from clinical labs to doctors' offices to homes. Driven by these tailwinds, the home medical market is expected to grow with a 9% CAGR over the next five years, building upon a $15 billion electronic spend in 2009.
