Product details
Overview
MAX4020EEE+ from Analog Devices is a quad, unity-gain-stable, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for high-speed video and instrumentation applications. It delivers 150MHz -3dB bandwidth, 600V/μs slew rate, 0.02% differential gain error, and operates from a single 3.3V–10V supply or dual ±1.65V–±5V supplies. Its enable input reduces quiescent current to 400μA and places outputs in high-impedance state-ideal for video multiplexing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4020EEE+ datasheet, MAX4020EEE+ pinout, MAX4020EEE+ application, or MAX4020EEE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its quad-channel configuration with individual enable control, QSOP-16 package footprint, 150MHz bandwidth at AVCL = 1, low-distortion performance (–75dB THD at 5MHz), and compatibility with 50Ω/75Ω video line driving topologies.
Technical Context
The MAX4020EEE+ employs voltage-feedback architecture enhanced with current-feedback techniques to achieve wide bandwidth and fast settling (45ns to 0.1%). Its input stage supports common-mode voltages extending 200mV below VEE and up to 2.25V below VCC, enabling ground-sensing operation in single-supply systems.
Each of the four amplifiers features independent enable (ENA/ENB/ENC/END) inputs, allowing selective channel shutdown without affecting others. When disabled, output impedance exceeds 28kΩ with only 2pF capacitance-critical for maintaining signal integrity in analog video switching matrices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 150MHz at AVCL = 1 - enables full NTSC/PAL video bandwidth and high-fidelity analog signal conditioning |
| Slew Rate | 600V/μs - supports clean 2V step response with <45ns settling to 0.1%, essential for fast video pulse fidelity |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.02%/0.02° at NTSC, RL = 150Ω - meets broadcast-grade video accuracy requirements |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.3V to 10V single supply or ±1.65V to ±5V dual supply - compatible with legacy 5V and modern low-voltage systems |
| Quiescent Current (per amp) | 5.5mA enabled / 0.4mA disabled - allows dynamic power scaling in battery-powered or thermally constrained designs |
| Output Drive Capability | ±120mA - drives 50Ω/75Ω transmission lines directly without external buffers |
| THD @ 5MHz | –75dB - ensures minimal harmonic contamination in precision analog signal paths |
Pinout & Package
MAX4020EEE+ is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.635mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The package supports fine-pitch surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation up to 667mW at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | INA+, INA−, OUTA, ENA | Amplifier A noninverting/inverting input, output, and enable - fully independent channel control |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | INB+, INB−, OUTB, ENB | Amplifier B noninverting/inverting input, output, and enable - identical functional isolation as Channel A |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | INC+, INC−, OUTC, ENC | Amplifier C noninverting/inverting input, output, and enable - supports triple-channel routing or parallel gain stages |
| 13, 14, 15, 16 | IND+, IND−, OUTD, END | Amplifier D noninverting/inverting input, output, and enable - completes quad-channel video switch/mux capability |
| 14, 15 | VCC, VEE | Shared positive and negative supply rails - simplifies power distribution across all four amplifiers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel with per-amplifier enable | Enables selective channel shutdown in video routing systems without disrupting active signal paths |

| High-output impedance in disable mode | 28–35kΩ with 2pF capacitance - minimizes crosstalk and loading in multiplexed video bus architectures |
| Input common-mode range beyond VEE | Extends 200mV below ground - supports true ground-referenced input signals in single-supply configurations |
Applications
| Video Line Driver | Analog-to-Digital Converter Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving composite video signals over 75Ω coaxial cable in set-top boxes and surveillance DVRs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad op amp configured as four independent unity-gain buffers, each with enable control for channel selection.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four independently enabled amplifiers acting as active, high-isolation switches with fast enable/disable timing (100ns on, 1μs off). Use Value: 28kΩ disabled output impedance and –95dB crosstalk prevent ghosting between channels; QSOP-16 footprint enables compact PCB layout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4018EEE+ | Triple-channel version in same QSOP-16 package; shares identical AC specs (150MHz BW, 600V/μs), but lacks fourth amplifier and END pin | Used where three-channel video buffering suffices; no support for 4-input mux or quad ADC interface | Select MAX4018EEE+ when system requires exactly three high-speed channels and board space must be conserved |
| LMH6724MA/NOPB | Quad 1.8GHz GBW op amp (Texas Instruments); higher bandwidth but higher quiescent current (12.5mA/amp), no enable function, SO-16 package | Better suited for RF IF amplification or ultra-wideband applications; unsuitable for low-power video mux due to lack of shutdown | Choose LMH6724MA/NOPB only when >1GHz small-signal bandwidth is required and power/per-channel enable are secondary concerns |
Compared with MAX4018EEE+ and LMH6724MA/NOPB, MAX4020EEE+ uniquely balances quad-channel count, per-amplifier enable, low-power shutdown (400μA), and broadcast-grade video linearity-all in a space-efficient QSOP-16 package.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX4020EEE+?
The MAX4020EEE+ is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliable performance in surveillance video systems, portable instrumentation, and broadcast equipment deployed in uncontrolled environments. All AC and DC specifications-including 150MHz bandwidth and 0.02% differential gain-are guaranteed across this full range.
Does MAX4020EEE+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, MAX4020EEE+ supports true single-supply operation from 3.3V to 10V. Its input common-mode range extends 200mV below VEE (ground), and its rail-to-rail output swings within 60mV of both supply rails-enabling ground-referenced inputs and maximum dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V systems without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the enable function work on MAX4020EEE+?
MAX4020EEE+ provides four independent enable inputs (ENA, ENB, ENC, END), one per amplifier. Driving any ENx pin low (< VCC – 2.6V) disables that channel, reducing its quiescent current to 400μA and placing its output in a high-impedance state (~35kΩ). This allows dynamic channel selection in video multiplexers without loading active signal paths.
What is the typical output drive capability of MAX4020EEE+?
MAX4020EEE+ delivers ±120mA output current into loads such as 50Ω or 75Ω transmission lines-sufficient to drive back-terminated video cables directly. This eliminates external buffer stages in video line driver and ADC interface applications, reducing component count and preserving signal integrity through minimized interconnect parasitics.
Is MAX4020EEE+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX40xx family?
MAX4020EEE+ is pin-compatible with MAX4018EEE+ in the 16-pin QSOP package for pins 1–13 and 15–16; however, MAX4018EEE+ lacks the fourth amplifier and corresponding IND+, IND−, OUTD, and END pins (pins 13, 14, 15, 16 in MAX4020EEE+ map to N.C., INC+, INC−, VEE in MAX4018EEE+). Direct substitution requires PCB layout verification.
