Product details
Overview
MAX4219ESD from Maxim Integrated is a triple-channel, high-speed, closed-loop rail-to-rail buffer with enable functionality, configured for fixed gain of +2V/V or −1V/V. It delivers 230MHz −3dB bandwidth, 600V/µs slew rate, ±120mA output drive, and operates from a single 3.15V to 11V supply. It is used in video routing systems requiring precise gain matching and low distortion across three parallel signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4219ESD datasheet, MAX4219ESD pinout, MAX4219ESD application, or MAX4219ESD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-channel architecture with individual enable control, 14-pin SO package, −40°C to +85°C temperature range, and verified performance in NTSC video line driving with 0.03% differential gain error and 0.04° phase error.
Technical Context
The MAX4219ESD implements voltage-feedback topology enhanced with current-feedback techniques to achieve wide bandwidth and fast transient response. Each of its three independent amplifiers integrates precision 500Ω internal resistors for stable closed-loop gain configuration without external components.
It features rail-to-rail output swing (within 60mV of rails into 2kΩ), input common-mode range extending 100mV beyond VEE, and dedicated EN_ pins per channel enabling independent power gating. Shutdown reduces quiescent current to 400µA per buffer while maintaining high-impedance output state.

Applications
| Video Line Drivers | Analog-to-Digital Converter Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving 75Ω coaxial cables in broadcast video switchers with minimal gain mismatch across multiple channels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triple-channel buffer providing matched +2V/V gain, low crosstalk (<−95dB), and simultaneous enable/disable for channel blanking.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-fidelity buffer isolating sensitive ADC inputs from source impedance variations while preserving signal integrity up to 230MHz. Use Value: Enables accurate DC-coupled acquisition of fast transients with <0.04° phase error-critical for time-of-flight and phase-sensitive measurements. |
| CCD Imaging Systems | Video Routing and Switching Systems |
Use Scenario: Amplifying and level-shifting CCD pixel output signals before digitization in medical endoscopes and industrial cameras. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise (10nV/√Hz), low-distortion buffer operating from single 5V supply with rail-to-rail output swing to maximize SNR. Use Value: Delivers >72dB spurious-free dynamic range at 5MHz, supporting 12-bit+ effective resolution in high-frame-rate CCD readout. | Use Scenario: Implementing matrix switching in professional AV equipment where three independent video streams must be routed without crosstalk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Three-channel buffer with <−110dB typical crosstalk at 10MHz, enabling clean signal separation in multi-path routing architectures. Use Value: Maintains signal purity across all paths simultaneously-no inter-channel interference even during rapid switching transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4219EEE | Same electrical specs; packaged in 16-pin QSOP instead of 14-pin SO | QSOP offers higher pin density but lower thermal dissipation (667mW vs. 667mW derated); less suitable for high-power video loads | Select MAX4219ESD for standard SO footprints and thermal robustness in video line drivers; choose MAX4219EEE only if board space constraints favor QSOP. |
| THS3203D | Single-channel, 1.8GHz bandwidth, no integrated gain resistors, requires external feedback network | Lacks built-in +2/−1 gain configuration and per-channel enable; not drop-in for multi-channel routing | Use THS3203D only when >1GHz bandwidth is required and design can accommodate external resistors and discrete enable circuitry. |
Compared with MAX4219EEE and THS3203D, the MAX4219ESD uniquely combines triple-channel integration, factory-trimmed gain, individual enable control, and SO-package thermal performance-making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-path video signal conditioning where consistency and power efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4219ESD?
The MAX4219ESD is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and commercial environments including video equipment deployed in uncontrolled ambient conditions. This range is guaranteed across all electrical specifications in the datasheet, including bandwidth, distortion, and enable timing parameters.
Does the MAX4219ESD require external resistors to set gain?
No, the MAX4219ESD does not require external resistors to set gain. It integrates precision 500Ω internal resistors that configure each amplifier for a fixed closed-loop gain of +2V/V (noninverting) or −1V/V (inverting). This eliminates gain drift, layout sensitivity, and component count-key advantages over general-purpose op-amps like the OPA695.
Can the MAX4219ESD drive 75Ω video cables directly?
Yes, the MAX4219ESD can drive 75Ω video cables directly. Its ±120mA output current capability and rail-to-rail output swing allow it to deliver full NTSC/PAL signal levels into 75Ω loads without external buffering. Application circuits in the datasheet confirm proper termination using 75Ω series resistors at the output for back-termination.
What is the shutdown current consumption of the MAX4219ESD?
The MAX4219ESD draws 400µA per buffer in shutdown mode when the respective ENx pin is pulled to VEE. With all three channels disabled, total supply current drops to 1.2mA-enabling significant power savings in battery-powered or thermally constrained video systems where channels are intermittently active.
Is the MAX4219ESD pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX421x family?
No, the MAX4219ESD is not pin-compatible with other MAX421x variants. Its 14-pin SO package has unique pin assignments-including three separate enable inputs (ENA/ENB/ENC) and no connection on pins 13 and 14-distinguishing it from the 8-pin MAX4215 or 16-pin MAX4219EEE. Pin compatibility must be verified per device using official Maxim pinout diagrams.
