Product details
Overview
MAX4182ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel, current-feedback amplifier optimized for +2V/V closed-loop gain applications, delivering 240MHz -3dB bandwidth, 450V/µs slew rate, and 0.08%/0.03° differential gain/phase error in a 16-pin QSOP package. It operates from ±2.25V to ±5.5V dual supplies or +5V single supply, draws only 1mA per amplifier, and supports video switching/multiplexing via shutdown mode.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4182ESA+ datasheet, MAX4182ESA+ pinout, MAX4182ESA+ application, or MAX4182ESA+ equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, video-grade AC performance metrics (70MHz 0.1dB flatness, 20ns settling), shutdown timing (40ns turn-on), and direct alternatives for HD video buffer and A/D driver designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4182ESA+ implements a current-feedback architecture with high-impedance noninverting input and low-impedance inverting input, enabling stable operation at AV ≥ +2 with RF/RG = 680Ω–1kΩ feedback networks. Its transresistance gain stage drives 150Ω loads to ±2.5V while maintaining <0.5dB peaking up to 245MHz small-signal bandwidth.
Shutdown control (SHDNA/SHDNB) places both outputs in high-impedance state and reduces quiescent current to 135µA per channel. Input bias currents are ±1µA (typ), input capacitance is 1.5pF, and output impedance is 4.8Ω - characteristics critical for driving transmission lines and multiplexed video paths without signal degradation.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUTA) | Amplifier A Output | High-current, low-impedance output capable of ±32mA drive into 30Ω load |
| 2 (INA−) | Amp A Inverting Input | Low-impedance current-summing node; connects to feedback resistor (RF) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4183EUA+ | Dual-channel, same pinout (10-pin µMAX), but optimized for AV ≥ +1; 270MHz BW, 320V/µs slew rate, higher input bias (±12µA) | Better for unity-gain video distribution; less suitable for +2 gain video buffers due to instability risk | Select MAX4183EUA+ only when designing AV = +1 circuits requiring wider bandwidth than MAX4182ESA+ |
| THS3202D | TI dual CFA in SOIC-8; 375MHz BW, 3000V/µs slew, 5.5mA supply current, no shutdown | Higher speed/power for instrumentation; lacks shutdown and video-optimized DG/DP specs | Choose THS3202D for ultra-high-speed pulse applications where power and video fidelity are secondary |
Compared with MAX4183EUA+, MAX4182ESA+ offers superior differential gain/phase accuracy (0.08%/0.03° vs. unspecified) and lower power (1mA vs. 2.5mA), making it preferred for battery-powered HD video. Versus THS3202D, MAX4182ESA+ trades raw speed for video compliance, shutdown control, and 80% lower quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable closed-loop gain for MAX4182ESA+?
The MAX4182ESA+ is internally compensated for stable operation at closed-loop gains of +2V/V (6dB) or greater. Using it at AV = +1 may cause peaking or oscillation due to insufficient phase margin; for unity-gain applications, select MAX4183EUA+ or MAX4184EUA+ instead. The datasheet specifies 240MHz −3dB bandwidth and 70MHz 0.1dB flatness only under AV ≥ +2 conditions.
Does MAX4182ESA+ support single-supply operation?
Yes, MAX4182ESA+ operates from a single +5V supply with VEE connected to ground. Input common-mode range is 1.3V to 3.7V, and output swing is 1.3V to 3.7V (RL = 1kΩ), enabling DC-coupled operation in 5V systems. For optimal video performance, bias the noninverting inputs at VCC/2 (2.5V) using a low-noise resistor divider or reference.
What is the shutdown behavior of MAX4182ESA+?
When SHDNA or SHDNB is pulled ≤(VCC − 3V), the corresponding amplifier output enters high-impedance state and quiescent current drops to 135µA per channel. Turn-on time is 40ns, turn-off time is 400ns, and off-isolation is −60dB @ 10MHz - ensuring minimal crosstalk during video source switching. Both channels can be disabled simultaneously for maximum power savings.
How does MAX4182ESA+ compare to voltage-feedback op-amps in video applications?
Unlike voltage-feedback op-amps, MAX4182ESA+ uses current-feedback architecture, delivering constant bandwidth regardless of closed-loop gain (within compensation limits). This yields 240MHz at AV = +2 versus typical 50–100MHz for VFAs at same gain. Its low 4.8Ω output impedance and 450V/µs slew rate also provide superior drive capability into capacitive video loads and faster transient response.
Is MAX4182ESA+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX4180–MAX4187 family?
No - MAX4182ESA+ uses a 16-pin QSOP package, while MAX4180/MAX4181 are in 6-pin SOT23, MAX4183/MAX4185 in 10-pin µMAX, and MAX4186/MAX4187 (quad) share the same 16-pin QSOP footprint but differ in pin mapping (e.g., unused pins 11–16 in MAX4182 are functional in MAX4186). PCB layout must match the exact variant.
