Product details
Overview
The MAX4017ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel, precision, closed-loop +2-gain buffer IC with rail-to-rail outputs, 200MHz -3dB bandwidth, 600V/µs slew rate, and ±120mA output drive-designed for video line driving, ADC interface, and CCD imaging systems operating from single +3.15V to +11V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4017ESA+ datasheet, MAX4017ESA+ pinout, MAX4017ESA+ application, or MAX4017ESA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SO-8 package mapping, real-world video/communications use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and layout implications.
Technical Context
The MAX4017ESA+ implements voltage-feedback architecture enhanced with current-feedback techniques to achieve high-speed performance while maintaining precision gain accuracy. Its internal 500Ω precision resistors fix closed-loop gain at +2 (noninverting) or –1 (inverting), eliminating external resistor matching requirements.
It features rail-to-rail output swing (within 60mV of rails into 2kΩ), input range extending 100mV beyond VEE, low 10nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and 1.3pA/√Hz input current noise-enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in low-voltage, wide-bandwidth analog chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 200MHz -3dB small-signal bandwidth enables full NTSC/PAL video baseband and RF cable driver operation without roll-off. |
| Slew Rate | 600V/µs supports fast transient response for composite video pulses and high-speed data acquisition front-ends. |
| Output Drive | ±120mA output current drives 50Ω/75Ω coaxial lines directly or heavy capacitive loads with isolation resistor compensation. |
| Differential Error | 0.04% differential gain / 0.02° differential phase ensures broadcast-grade color fidelity in video routing and switching systems. |
| Supply Range | +3.15V to +11V single supply (or ±1.575V to ±5.5V dual) allows direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and 9V embedded instrumentation rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 5.5mA per amplifier (11mA total) enables low-power portable/battery-powered instrument designs without sacrificing speed. |
| Input Noise | 10nV/√Hz voltage noise and 1.3pA/√Hz current noise preserve SNR in high-gain, wideband sensor and CCD signal paths. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4017ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.0mm × 6.2mm body, 1.27mm pitch). Pin 1 marked by notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUTA) | Amplifier A Output | Rail-to-rail output capable of ±120mA drive; requires proper termination for video/RF loads. |
| 2 (INA–) | Amplifier A Inverting Input | 500Ω internal resistor node; grounded for +2V/V noninverting configuration or used as signal input for –1V/V inverting mode. |
| 3 (INA+) | Amplifier A Noninverting Input | Main signal input for +2V/V mode; exhibits 3MΩ input resistance and extends 100mV below VEE. |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative Supply / Ground | Reference for single-supply operation (0V) or negative rail in dual-supply mode (–1.575V to –5.5V). |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Accepts +3.15V to +11V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 6 (INB+) | Amplifier B Noninverting Input | Independent second channel input; identical electrical characteristics to INA+. |
| 7 (INB–) | Amplifier B Inverting Input | 500Ω internal resistor node for second channel; configured same as INA–. |
| 8 (OUTB) | Amplifier B Output | Second rail-to-rail output; fully independent-no crosstalk degradation above –95dB at 10MHz. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed +2 or –1 closed-loop gain | Internal 500Ω precision resistors eliminate external component count, tolerance sensitivity, and PCB area for gain-setting networks. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Drives within 60mV of VCC/VEE into 2kΩ, preserving dynamic range in low-voltage 3.3V systems and enabling full-swing video signal handling. |
| Low distortion at 5MHz | –78dBc SFDR and –75dB THD ensure minimal harmonic contamination in ADC driver and CCD readout applications. |
| High-speed video optimization | 0.04%/0.02° differential gain/phase error meets broadcast video standards for RGB/YUV signal distribution and switching. |
| Ultra-low noise performance | 10nV/√Hz input voltage noise and 1.3pA/√Hz input current noise maintain SNR integrity in high-gain, wideband analog front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, dual-channel, rail-to-rail buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6702MA/NOPB | Single-channel, 1.8GHz bandwidth, no internal gain-setting resistors; requires external feedback network. | Higher bandwidth but lacks integrated +2 gain and dual-channel integration; needs layout redesign for dual-path systems. | Select when >1GHz bandwidth is required and board space permits discrete gain-setting components. |
| THS3202D | Dual-channel, 1.8GHz bandwidth, ±15V supply capable, no rail-to-rail output (clips ~2V from rails). | Superior speed and drive strength but incompatible with low-voltage 3.3V/5V single-supply video systems due to limited output swing. | Choose only for high-voltage, high-current applications where rail-to-rail swing is not required. |
Compared with LMH6702MA/NOPB and THS3202D, the MAX4017ESA+ uniquely combines dual-channel integration, factory-trimmed +2 gain, rail-to-rail output, and sub-6mA quiescent current-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered, and broadcast-video designs where precision, simplicity, and power efficiency are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum load capacitance the MAX4017ESA+ can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4017ESA+ is specified to remain stable with up to 25pF of capacitive load without external compensation. For loads exceeding 25pF-such as long PCB traces or unterminated cables-an isolation resistor (e.g., 27Ω for 47pF, per Figure 8) must be placed in series with the output to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking or oscillation. The MAX4017ESA+ datasheet provides exact RISO vs. CL curves for robust design.
Does the MAX4017ESA+ support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4017ESA+ operates from dual supplies ranging from ±1.575V to ±5.5V, in addition to single supplies from +3.15V to +11V. When using dual supplies, VEE connects to the negative rail and VCC to the positive rail; input common-mode range extends 100mV beyond VEE, and outputs swing rail-to-rail. Bypass each supply with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near the respective pin.
What is the gain configuration flexibility of the MAX4017ESA+?
The MAX4017ESA+ supports two fixed closed-loop gains: +2V/V (noninverting) and –1V/V (inverting), set by internal 500Ω resistors. For +2V/V, ground the inverting input (e.g., INA–) and apply signal to the noninverting input (e.g., INA+). For –1V/V, ground the noninverting input and apply signal to the inverting input. No external resistors are needed-gain accuracy is factory-trimmed and temperature-stable.
How does the MAX4017ESA+ perform in video applications requiring NTSC/PAL compliance?
The MAX4017ESA+ meets broadcast video requirements with 0.04% differential gain error and 0.02° differential phase error-well within NTSC/PAL specifications. Its 200MHz bandwidth, 600V/µs slew rate, and –78dBc SFDR at 5MHz ensure minimal color distortion, timing jitter, and harmonic artifacts in RGB, YUV, and composite video signal paths, making it suitable for professional video routing and switching systems.
Is the MAX4017ESA+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX40xx family?
No-the MAX4017ESA+ (8-pin SO/µMAX) is not pin-compatible with the MAX4014 (5-pin SOT23), MAX4019 (14-pin SO/16-pin QSOP), or MAX4022 (14-pin SO/16-pin QSOP). Each variant has distinct pin counts, layouts, and channel counts. The MAX4017ESA+ shares identical pin functions and ordering logic with the MAX4017EUA (same 8-pin µMAX package), but differs mechanically and thermally from SO variants despite identical signal mapping.
