Product details
Overview
MAX4222EEE/GH9 from Maxim Integrated is a quad-channel, precision, closed-loop +2V/V (or −1V/V) rail-to-rail output buffer IC optimized for high-speed video and RF signal routing. It delivers 230MHz −3dB bandwidth, 600V/µs slew rate, ±120mA output drive, and 0.03%/0.04° differential gain/phase error-enabling NTSC/PAL-compliant video line driving in compact QSOP-16 packaging.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4222EEE/GH9 datasheet, MAX4222EEE/GH9 pinout, MAX4222EEE/GH9 application, or MAX4222EEE/GH9 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed video/ADC interface use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX4222EEE/GH9 implements voltage-feedback architecture enhanced with current-feedback techniques to achieve wide bandwidth and fast transient response. Its internal 500Ω precision resistors fix closed-loop gain at +2V/V (noninverting) or −1V/V (inverting), eliminating external resistor matching requirements.
It features rail-to-rail output swing (within 60mV of rails into 2kΩ), input common-mode range extending 100mV beyond VEE, and low 10nV/√Hz input voltage noise-making it suitable for single-supply 3.3V/5V systems where dynamic range and distortion performance are critical.

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 | Triple-channel version in same QSOP-16 package; includes enable/disable control per channel | Requires external enable logic; lower channel count reduces routing flexibility in 4-output systems | Select when power gating per channel is required and three channels suffice |
| THS3204DR | Quad-channel, 375MHz bandwidth, but no internal gain-setting resistors; requires external 500Ω feedback network | Higher bandwidth trades off gain accuracy and board area; lacks differential gain/phase characterization for video | Select only when >230MHz bandwidth is mandatory and video fidelity certification is not required |
Compared with MAX4219EEE (3-channel, enable-capable) and THS3204DR (higher bandwidth, external gain), MAX4222EEE/GH9 uniquely delivers quad-channel integration, factory-trimmed +2/−1 gain, and broadcast-grade video performance in a single QSOP-16 package-reducing BOM count and validation effort for video routing applications.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for MAX4222EEE/GH9?
The MAX4222EEE/GH9 operates from a single 3.15V to 11V supply or dual ±1.575V to ±5.5V supplies. At 5V single supply, it achieves full rail-to-rail output swing into 2kΩ loads and maintains 230MHz bandwidth. The input common-mode range extends 100mV beyond VEE, supporting ground-sensing configurations in low-voltage systems.
Does MAX4222EEE/GH9 support inverting and noninverting configurations?
Yes, MAX4222EEE/GH9 supports both configurations using internal 500Ω precision resistors. For +2V/V noninverting gain, ground the inverting input (e.g., INA−); for −1V/V inverting gain, ground the noninverting input (e.g., INA+). Input termination (49.9Ω for noninverting, 56Ω for 50Ω inverting) ensures optimal matching and minimizes reflections in video applications.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4222EEE/GH9 can drive stably?
The MAX4222EEE/GH9 is stable driving up to 20pF of capacitive load without external compensation. For loads exceeding 20pF-such as long PCB traces or unterminated cables-an isolation resistor (e.g., 27Ω for 68pF) between output and load restores phase margin and suppresses peaking, as validated in Figure 9 of the datasheet.
How does MAX4222EEE/GH9 handle differential gain and phase in video applications?
MAX4222EEE/GH9 achieves 0.03% differential gain error and 0.04° differential phase error under NTSC conditions (RL = 150Ω), meeting broadcast video fidelity standards. This performance is enabled by precision internal resistors, low-distortion output stage design, and optimized frequency response-ensuring accurate color reproduction without external correction circuitry.
Is there an enable/disable function on MAX4222EEE/GH9?
No, MAX4222EEE/GH9 does not include an enable/disable feature. That functionality is present only in the MAX4215 and MAX4219 variants. MAX4222EEE/GH9 operates continuously when powered; for power-gated applications, consider MAX4219EEE (triple-channel with enable) or external FET switching on the VCC rail.
