Product details
Overview
MAX4228EUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for closed-loop gain ≥ +2 (6dB), delivering 600MHz -3dB bandwidth, 1700V/µs slew rate, and 5ns settling time to 0.1%, with shutdown mode reducing supply current to 350µA. It drives ±2.5V into four back-terminated 75Ω video loads while maintaining 0.01% differential gain and 0.02° phase error - ideal for high-fidelity video line drivers and ADC input buffering in portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4228EUB+ datasheet, MAX4228EUB+ pinout, MAX4228EUB+ application, or MAX4228EUB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its +2V/V minimum stable gain configuration, µMAX-10 package thermal performance, shutdown-enabled multiplexing capability, and verified 300MHz 0.1dB gain flatness under RL = 100Ω conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX4228EUB+ employs current-mode feedback architecture with transimpedance open-loop transfer function, enabling gain-bandwidth independence at low gains and supporting stable operation only at closed-loop gains of +2V/V or higher. Its internal compensation targets 600MHz bandwidth with RF = RG = 470Ω in µMAX-10 package.
It features dual independent amplifiers sharing common VCC/VEE rails and separate SHDN pins (SHDNA/SHDNB), each providing high-impedance output (100kΩ) and 350µA quiescent current in shutdown. Input stage uses matched bipolar transistors with RIN+ = 700kΩ and RIN− = 45kΩ, enabling precise current-sensing feedback paths.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX4228EUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed paddle, rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 10 is exposed thermal pad (must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VEE) | Negative power supply | Connect to -2.85V to -5.5V; supplies bias current for both amplifiers' NPN input stage |
| 2 (INA−) | Amp A inverting input | Current-summing node for feedback network; requires minimal stray capacitance (<0.3pF) for stability |
| 3 (INA+) | Amp A noninverting input | High-impedance voltage reference point; RIN+ = 700kΩ enables high-Z sensor interfacing |
| 4 (OUTA) | Amp A output | Capable of sourcing/sinking 80mA; high-Z in shutdown (100kΩ) enables analog multiplexing |
| 5 (SHDNA) | Amp A shutdown control | TTL-compatible input; logic low (≤0.8V) activates 350µA shutdown mode |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive power supply | Connect to +2.85V to +5.5V; decoupling requires 10nF ceramic capacitor placed ≤2mm from pin |
| 7 (INB−) | Amp B inverting input | Independent current-summing node; layout must mirror INA− to maintain gain matching <0.1dB up to 100MHz |
| 8 (INB+) | Amp B noninverting input | Matched to INA+; differential input pair enables balanced signal routing in RF receivers |
| 9 (OUTB) | Amp B output | Electrically isolated from OUTA; allows independent loading and termination |
| 10 (SHDNB) | Amp B shutdown control | Independent control enables staggered enable/disable sequencing in multi-channel video switches |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6723MA/NOPB | Single-channel, 1.8GHz GBW, no shutdown, SO-8 package, 12.5mA IQ | Lacks dual-channel integration and low-power shutdown; requires external mux for switching | Select when maximum bandwidth (>1GHz) is prioritized over channel count and power efficiency |

FAQ
What is the minimum stable closed-loop gain for MAX4228EUB+?
The MAX4228EUB+ is compensated for stable operation only at closed-loop gains of +2V/V (6dB) or greater. Attempting to use it at unity gain (AV = +1) will cause severe peaking and potential oscillation due to insufficient phase margin. This is confirmed in the datasheet's Selector Guide and AC Electrical Characteristics tables, where bandwidth and THD data are explicitly specified for AV = +2V/V configurations.
Does MAX4228EUB+ support single-supply operation?
No, MAX4228EUB+ requires dual symmetric supplies ranging from ±2.85V to ±5.5V. Its input common-mode range is specified as ±2.5V with VCM = 0V, and absolute maximum ratings define VCC-to-VEE as 12V - confirming bipolar rail dependency. Single-supply use would violate input/output voltage limits and disable proper biasing of the internal current-feedback core.
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for MAX4228EUB+?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 10) of the MAX4228EUB+ µMAX package must be soldered to a solid copper ground plane on the PCB. This connection is mandatory for thermal dissipation - the device's 444mW maximum power dissipation rating assumes 5.6mW/°C derating above +70°C, which is only achievable with low-thermal-resistance pad coupling. Leaving the pad unconnected risks junction temperature exceeding 150°C at full load.
Can MAX4228EUB+ drive 75Ω back-terminated video loads at full swing?
Yes, MAX4228EUB+ is characterized to drive ±2.5V into four simultaneously connected 75Ω back-terminated loads while maintaining specified differential gain/phase error (0.01%/0.02°) and 0.1dB gain flatness to 300MHz. This capability is explicitly stated in the Features section and validated in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage Swing" and "Output Current" parameters.
How does shutdown mode affect output impedance in MAX4228EUB+?
In shutdown mode (SHDNA or SHDNB = logic low), MAX4228EUB+ places its corresponding amplifier output into a high-impedance state with typical impedance of 100kΩ, as measured under RL = 150Ω conditions. This value is confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics table under "Shutdown Mode Output Impedance" and enables passive analog multiplexing without external isolation switches.
