Product details
Overview
MAX4016ESA from Analog Devices is a dual, unity-gain-stable, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for high-speed video and instrumentation signal conditioning. It delivers 150MHz -3dB bandwidth, 600V/μs slew rate, and ±120mA output drive while consuming only 5.5mA per amplifier from a 3.3V–10V single supply - enabling low-power, wide-dynamic-range analog front-ends in surveillance video systems and ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4016ESA datasheet, MAX4016ESA pinout, MAX4016ESA application, or MAX4016ESA equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel architecture, SO-8 package compatibility, rail-to-rail output swing within 60mV of rails, input common-mode range extending beyond ground, and verified performance in 50Ω video line driving and multiplexed analog signal routing.
Technical Context
The MAX4016ESA employs voltage-feedback architecture with current-feedback techniques to achieve high slew rate and bandwidth while maintaining unity-gain stability. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to VEE − 0.2V (ground-sensing), and its output stage uses local feedback to maintain low open-loop output impedance (8Ω) and deliver ±120mA into 20Ω loads.
Unlike the MAX4018/MAX4020, the MAX4016ESA lacks an enable/disable function - all pins are active at all times. It features matched gain (±0.1dB at 10MHz) and crosstalk < −95dB between channels, making it suitable for dual-path signal processing where channel isolation and amplitude consistency are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (-3dB) | 150MHz - supports NTSC/PAL video baseband and broadband analog signal amplification up to ~75MHz fundamental content. |
| Slew Rate | 600V/μs - enables clean 2V step response in ≤45ns, critical for fast transient fidelity in video line drivers and pulse amplifiers. |
| Output Drive | ±120mA - drives 50Ω or 75Ω transmission lines directly without external buffers, reducing BOM count in video routing designs. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 60mV of VCC/VEE (RL = 2kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V single-supply systems, e.g., 4.9VP-P output from 5V rail. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE − 0.2V to VCC − 2.25V - allows ground-referenced inputs in single-supply operation, simplifying level-shifting in ADC front-ends. |
| Quiescent Current | 5.5mA per amplifier - enables dual-channel high-speed amplification with sub-12mA total supply draw, ideal for battery-powered instruments. |
| Harmonic Distortion | −75dB THD @ 5MHz - ensures minimal color error and luminance distortion in composite video applications (DG/DPh < 0.02%/0.02°). |
Pinout & Package
MAX4016ESA is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Thermal resistance θJA = 169°C/W; power dissipation derates at 5.9mW/°C above +70°C.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - rail-to-rail capable, drives 50Ω/75Ω loads directly; requires 24Ω series feedback resistor in unity-gain configuration. |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input for Amplifier A - high-impedance node; sensitive to PCB parasitics; must be routed short and away from noisy traces. |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input for Amplifier A - accepts common-mode voltages down to VEE − 0.2V; enables ground-referenced signal acquisition. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply or ground - reference for both amplifiers; must be bypassed with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply - supports 3.3V to 10V single supply or ±1.65V to ±5V dual supplies; bypass with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. |
| 6 | INB+ | Noninverting input for Amplifier B - electrically identical to INA+; supports independent dual-channel operation with matched specs. |
| 7 | INB− | Inverting input for Amplifier B - matches INA− in offset, bias, and CMRR; enables differential or parallel signal paths. |
| 8 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - fully independent of OUTA; no internal enable/disable logic; always active when powered. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable | Internally compensated - eliminates need for external compensation components in gain ≥1 configurations, reducing layout complexity. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings to within 60mV of VCC/VEE under 2kΩ load - preserves >97% of supply voltage as usable signal swing in 3.3V/5V systems. |
| Ground-sensing input | Common-mode range extends 200mV below VEE - enables direct interface to 0V-referenced sensors or DAC outputs without level shifters. |
| Dual-channel matching | Gain matching ±0.1dB and crosstalk < −95dB at 10MHz - ensures consistent amplitude and phase across two signal paths in stereo or dual ADC front-ends. |
| Low distortion video performance | Differential gain/phase error of 0.02%/0.02° - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements for NTSC composite signals into 150Ω loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Higher 1.5GHz GBW but higher 12.5mA quiescent current; no rail-to-rail output (clips ~1.2V from rails); SO-8 package. | Preferred in RF IF amplification where bandwidth >500MHz is required; unsuitable for rail-limited 3.3V video systems. | Select LMH6629MA/NOPB only when >1GHz small-signal bandwidth is mandatory and supply headroom permits non-rail-to-rail swing. |
| ADA4891-2ARZ | Lower 225MHz bandwidth, 175V/μs slew rate, 4.4mA quiescent current; rail-to-rail I/O; same SO-8 footprint. | Better suited for general-purpose high-speed buffering where ultra-low distortion is secondary to power efficiency. | Choose ADA4891-2ARZ for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth applications (<100MHz) where 4.4mA per amplifier improves battery life significantly. |
Compared with LMH6629MA/NOPB and ADA4891-2ARZ, the MAX4016ESA uniquely balances 150MHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail output, ground-sensing input, and 5.5mA quiescent current in an SO-8 package - making it the optimal choice for power-constrained video and instrumentation designs requiring full rail utilization and NTSC-grade fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage range for the MAX4016ESA?
The MAX4016ESA operates from a single 3.3V to 10V supply or dual ±1.65V to ±5V supplies. Absolute maximum rating is 12V between VCC and VEE. Exceeding this may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation in video line driving, Analog Devices specifies 5V ±5% or 3.3V ±10% nominal supplies with proper 0.1μF local bypassing on both VCC and VEE pins.
Does the MAX4016ESA have an enable/disable pin like the MAX4018?
No, the MAX4016ESA does not include an enable/disable function. Unlike the MAX4018 (which has ENA/ENB pins), the MAX4016ESA has no shutdown control - both amplifiers are always active when powered. This simplifies design in always-on applications but precludes power-gating for dynamic power savings. The MAX4016ESA pinout contains only signal and supply terminals.
What is the recommended feedback resistor value for unity-gain configuration of the MAX4016ESA?
Analog Devices specifies a 24Ω resistor in series with the feedback path for unity-gain operation of the MAX4016ESA. This value optimizes AC response by damping parasitic LC resonance formed by feedback capacitance and PCB trace inductance. Using other values may cause peaking or instability - especially at frequencies above 50MHz - as confirmed in the device's typical operating characteristics and layout guidelines.
Can the MAX4016ESA drive a 50Ω load directly without external components?
Yes, the MAX4016ESA can drive a 50Ω load directly: its ±120mA output current capability and rail-to-rail output swing allow full-scale 2VP-P signal delivery into 50Ω with less than 60mV droop. However, for optimal stability and flat frequency response, Analog Devices recommends using the 24Ω feedback resistor and proper termination (e.g., 49.9Ω RTO/RTIN network) as shown in the typical operating circuit - especially in video line driver applications.
Is the MAX4016ESA pin-compatible with other members of the MAX401x family?
The MAX4016ESA (SO-8) shares the same pinout as the MAX4012ESA (SO-8), but differs from the MAX4018/MAX4020 (QSOP-16/SO-14) and MAX4012EUK+T (SOT23-5). Pin functions INA+, INA−, OUTA, VEE, VCC, INB+, INB−, OUTB are identical across SO-8 variants. However, MAX4016ESA lacks enable pins and cannot substitute for MAX4018 in shutdown-capable designs without board revision.
