Product details
Overview
MAX4026EUP from Maxim Integrated is a quad 2:1 video multiplexer-amplifier with fixed +2 V/V gain, designed for high-speed RGB or component video switching in broadcast and embedded display systems. It delivers 200MHz -3dB bandwidth, 363V/µs slew rate, and 25ns channel switching time, enabling clean switching in set-top boxes and in-car entertainment displays.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4026EUP datasheet, MAX4026EUP pinout, MAX4026EUP application, or MAX4026EUP equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed video-specific applications, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for system-level selection.
Technical Context
The MAX4026EUP integrates four independent 2:1 analog multiplexers with voltage-feedback amplifiers, each configured for fixed +2 gain via internal 500Ω thin-film resistors - eliminating external gain-setting components and ensuring consistent channel-to-channel matching. Its A/B select logic controls all four muxes simultaneously using a single digital input.
It operates from ±2.25V to ±5.5V dual supplies or +4.5V to +11V single supply, with rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending to the negative rail (VEE) and output swing optimized for 75Ω or 150Ω video loads. The EN pin places outputs in high-impedance state with <6mA disable current, supporting matrix expansion in multi-device video routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 200MHz - supports full NTSC/PAL/HD-SDI baseband video bandwidth without attenuation |
| Slew Rate | 363V/µs - ensures distortion-free reproduction of fast video edges (e.g., sync pulses, sharp transitions) |
| Channel Switching Time | 25ns - enables glitch-free source switching within one video line period (e.g., <64µs at 15.7kHz) |
| Differential Gain/Phase Error | 0.02%/0.085° - meets broadcast-grade color fidelity requirements per NTSC/PAL standards |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +11V (single) or ±2.25V to ±5.5V (dual) - compatible with standard 5V and ±5V video system rails |
| Output Impedance | 0.15Ω (active), 1kΩ (disabled) - allows direct drive of 75Ω coaxial cables and safe paralleling in switch matrices |
| Switching Transient | 10mVP-P - minimizes visible artifacts during live video source switching |
Pinout & Package
MAX4026EUP is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package (5.0mm × 6.5mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density video routing PCBs with thermal efficiency and low parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | IN1A, IN2A, IN3A, IN4A | Channel A inputs for each of four 2:1 muxes; accept baseband video signals up to ±4.3V |
| 6, 7, 8, 10 | IN1B, IN2B, IN3B, IN4B | Channel B inputs; enable dual-source selection per amplifier path (e.g., HDMI vs. analog CVBS) |
| 5 | A/B | Global channel select: logic-high = route A inputs, logic-low = route B inputs; internally pulled up if floating |
| 13 | EN | Enable control: high = active amplification and muxing; low = high-Z outputs and <6mA quiescent current |
| 15, 11, 10, 12 | OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4 | Fixed-gain (+2) amplified outputs; each drives 75Ω or 150Ω loads directly with <0.15Ω source impedance |
| 14, 16 | VCC, VEE | Power rails: bypass each with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin; VEE = 0V for single-supply operation |
| 9, 17, 18, 20 | FB1, FB2, FB3, FB4 | Internal feedback nodes - not user-accessible; gain fixed at +2 via on-die 500Ω resistors |
| 19 | REF | Reference node for internal gain network; connect to VCM (typically 0.5V for single supply or 0V for dual) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed +2 V/V gain architecture | Eliminates external feedback resistors, guarantees ±1% gain matching across all four channels |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Supports DC-coupled video inputs down to VEE, enabling seamless integration with legacy analog sources |
| 25ns channel switching with 10mVP-P transient | Prevents visible "glitch" or "flash" during real-time video source switching in security monitors or projectors |
| High-Z disable mode (EN-controlled) | Enables building scalable video crosspoint matrices by paralleling multiple MAX4026EUP outputs |
| Broadcast-grade video performance | 0.02% differential gain / 0.085° phase error ensures color accuracy compliant with SMPTE RP 168 and ITU-R BT.601 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video multiplexer-amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4024EUD | Triple (not quad) 2:1 mux-amplifier in 14-pin TSSOP; identical +2 gain, 200MHz BW, and 363V/µs slew rate | Requires two devices to match MAX4026EUP's four-channel density; higher board area and interconnect complexity | Select when system needs only three video paths or space constraints favor smaller footprint over channel count |
| THS7355IPW | Quad video amplifier with 3-channel mux (not 4); fixed +6 gain, 110MHz BW, and no integrated A/B/EN logic | Lacks integrated multiplexer control - requires external logic and level-shifting for channel selection | Select when higher gain (>+2) is required and discrete mux control is acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer designs |
Compared with MAX4024EUD and THS7355IPW, the MAX4026EUP uniquely delivers four fully integrated, digitally controlled 2:1 video mux-amplifier channels in one 20-pin TSSOP - optimizing PCB area, reducing component count, and simplifying timing-critical video routing in professional and automotive systems.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the MAX4026EUP?
The MAX4026EUP operates from a single +4.5V to +11V supply or dual ±2.25V to ±5.5V supplies. At +5V single supply, it delivers full 200MHz bandwidth and 10mVP-P switching transients. The device's input common-mode range extends to the negative rail (VEE), supporting DC-coupled video interfaces without level-shifting circuitry - a key advantage in legacy analog video systems where the MAX4026EUP is commonly deployed.
Does the MAX4026EUP require external gain-setting resistors?
No, the MAX4026EUP does not require external gain-setting resistors. It uses internal 500Ω thin-film resistors to fix the closed-loop gain at +2 V/V across all four amplifier channels. This eliminates resistor matching errors and board-space overhead while guaranteeing ±1% gain matching between channels - a critical feature for maintaining color balance in RGB video applications where the MAX4026EUP is specified.
How does the EN pin function on the MAX4026EUP?
The EN pin on the MAX4026EUP enables low-power shutdown: driving EN low places all four outputs in high-impedance state (<1kΩ) and reduces supply current to <6mA. This allows safe paralleling of multiple MAX4026EUP devices in large video crosspoint matrices. Internal pull-up circuitry ensures normal operation if EN is left unconnected - a robust design feature for field-replaceable modules where the MAX4026EUP serves as the core switching element.
What video standards does the MAX4026EUP support?
The MAX4026EUP supports NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and HD-SDI baseband video standards through its 200MHz bandwidth, 0.02% differential gain error, and 0.085° differential phase error - all measured per SMPTE RP 168 and ITU-R BT.601. Its 25ns switching time and 10mVP-P transient ensure artifact-free source transitions in real-time broadcast monitoring systems where the MAX4026EUP is routinely applied.
Can the MAX4026EUP drive 75Ω coaxial cables directly?
Yes, the MAX4026EUP is designed to drive 75Ω coaxial cables directly. Its 0.15Ω output impedance and +2 V/V fixed gain compensate for the 6dB loss inherent in double-terminated 75Ω lines (e.g., Figure 2a in the datasheet). When used with proper 0.1µF local bypassing on VCC/VEE pins and surface-mount termination resistors placed adjacent to the MAX4026EUP outputs, it maintains broadcast-grade signal integrity - a capability validated in production set-top box and in-car navigation designs using the MAX4026EUP.
