Product details
Overview
The MAX4223ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, ultra-high-speed current-feedback amplifier optimized for closed-loop gain ≥ +1 (0dB), delivering 1GHz -3dB bandwidth, 1100V/µs slew rate, and 0.01%/0.02° differential gain/phase error - ideal for professional video line drivers and ADC input buffering in ±2.85V to ±5.5V dual-supply systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4223ESA+ datasheet, MAX4223ESA+ pinout, MAX4223ESA+ application, or MAX4223ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-8 package footprint, shutdown-enabled low-power operation (350µA quiescent current), high-output-drive capability (±2.5V into 4×75Ω back-terminated loads), and verified video-spec compliance (300MHz 0.1dB gain flatness).
Technical Context
The MAX4223ESA+ employs a current-feedback topology with transimpedance gain architecture, enabling gain-bandwidth independence at low gains and supporting stable operation with RF = 560Ω for AV = +1. Its open-loop transresistance is 0.7–1.5MΩ, and internal compensation ensures minimal peaking when used with optimal feedback networks.
It features TTL-compatible shutdown control (SHDN pin), placing the output in a 100kΩ high-impedance state while reducing supply current to 350µA - critical for video multiplexing and power-sensitive portable designs. Input common-mode range extends to ±2.5V, and output swing reaches ±2.5V into 50Ω loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 1GHz at AV = +1 - enables full HD/3G-SDI signal amplification without attenuation up to 1GHz. |
| Slew Rate | 1100V/µs - supports fast transient response for 10ns pulse fidelity in data communications. |
| Differential Gain/Phase Error | 0.01% / 0.02° - meets broadcast-grade video accuracy requirements per SMPTE 259M. |
| Supply Current (Normal) | 6.0mA per amplifier - enables low-power multi-channel video systems without thermal derating. |
| Shutdown Current | 350µA - reduces standby power by >94%, enabling battery-operated video encoders. |
| Output Drive | ±2.5V into 4×75Ω back-terminated loads - drives standard video distribution networks directly. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±2mV max - minimizes DC error in precision ADC front-end buffering applications. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4223ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad (SO-8EP), pin-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 footprints and rated for -40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VEE) | Negative supply rail | Accepts -2.85V to -5.5V; requires local 10nF ceramic bypass to ground. |
| 2 (IN-) | Inverting input | Current-feedback node; must be isolated from ground plane to minimize stray capacitance. |
| 3 (IN+) | Noninverting input | High-impedance voltage-sensing node; bias current ≤ ±15µA at +25°C. |
| 4 (N.C.) | No connect | Internally unconnected; tie to ground for optimal AC performance and EMI suppression. |
| 5 (SHDN) | Shutdown control input | TTL-compatible; logic low (≤0.8V) activates 350µA shutdown mode and 100kΩ output impedance. |
| 6 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ≥80mA; drives 75Ω video lines with <0.02° phase distortion. |
| 7 (VCC) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.85V to +5.5V; requires local 10nF ceramic bypass to ground. |
| 8 (N.C.) | No connect | Internally unconnected; tie to ground for consistent layout and noise immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4223EUT-T | Same electrical specs; 6-pin SOT23 package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance). | Limited to space-constrained portable video modules; not pin-compatible with SO-8 PCBs. | Select for ultra-compact layouts where board area is critical and thermal load is low. |
| THS3201DR | 1.8GHz bandwidth but higher 12.5mA supply current; no integrated shutdown function. | Requires external enable circuitry for power gating; unsuitable for battery-powered multiplexing. | Choose when maximum bandwidth is prioritized over power efficiency and integrated control. |
Compared with MAX4223EUT-T, the MAX4223ESA+ offers superior thermal dissipation and SO-8 compatibility for industrial video systems; versus THS3201DR, it trades 800MHz bandwidth for 50% lower quiescent power and native shutdown - optimizing for portable and multiplexed architectures.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the MAX4223ESA+?
The MAX4223ESA+ operates from dual supplies ranging from ±2.85V to ±5.5V. This corresponds to a total supply voltage range of 5.7V to 11V. Operation outside this range may cause permanent damage, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The device delivers full performance (e.g., 1GHz bandwidth, ±2.5V output swing) across the entire specified range, including at ±3V for low-voltage portable designs.
Does the MAX4223ESA+ support unity-gain stable operation?
Yes, the MAX4223ESA+ is explicitly optimized for closed-loop gains of +1 (0dB) or greater and is unity-gain stable. Its internal compensation ensures stability with RF = 560Ω and RG = open (or infinite) for AV = +1 configurations. Data sheet Figures 1 and MAX4223-01 confirm flat small-signal response up to 1GHz under these conditions, with no peaking or oscillation observed in production-tested units.
How does the shutdown feature of the MAX4223ESA+ behave electrically?
When the SHDN pin is driven low (≤0.8V), the MAX4223ESA+ enters shutdown mode: quiescent supply current drops to 350µA typical per amplifier, and the output transitions to a high-impedance state with 100kΩ typical output resistance. The output remains at high-Z regardless of input signal, preventing loading of shared buses - a key enabler for video multiplexing. Normal operation resumes within 100ns of SHDN returning high.
Can the MAX4223ESA+ drive 75Ω video loads directly?
Yes, the MAX4223ESA+ is characterized to drive up to four back-terminated 75Ω loads simultaneously while maintaining ±2.5V output swing and preserving differential gain/phase error (0.01%/0.02°). This capability is validated in the data sheet's "High Output Drive Capability" section and confirmed by load tests with RL = 50Ω (equivalent to two 75Ω terminations in parallel), ensuring robustness in real-world video distribution topologies.
What is the input bias current specification for the MAX4223ESA+ at +25°C?
At TA = +25°C, the MAX4223ESA+ exhibits input bias current of ±4µA maximum at the noninverting input (IN+) and ±7µA maximum at the inverting input (IN−), as specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table. These values increase slightly over temperature (±15µA max at TMIN to TMAX), but remain well within design margins for video and ADC buffer applications where source impedances are typically ≤1kΩ.
