Product details
Overview
The MAX4265EUA from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, unity-gain stable, ultra-low-distortion voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for high-frequency signal conditioning. It delivers 400MHz small-signal bandwidth, -90dBc spurious-free dynamic range at 5MHz, 900V/µs slew rate, and drives 100Ω loads with ±45mA output current - making it ideal for high-speed ADC drivers in telecom base-station IF stages.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4265EUA datasheet, MAX4265EUA pinout, MAX4265EUA application, or MAX4265EUA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin µMAX package, disable-mode functionality (active-low), 4.5V–8.0V single-supply operation, and verified performance in RF signal chains requiring <0.01% THD+N up to 100MHz.
Technical Context
The MAX4265EUA employs proprietary bipolar process technology to achieve low-voltage, single-supply operation while maintaining distortion performance typically seen only in dual-supply op amps. Its internal unity-gain compensation ensures stability without external phase compensation networks.
It features an active-low DISABLE input that places outputs in high-impedance state with 1.6mA quiescent current per amplifier, 100ns enable time, and 750µs disable time. Input common-mode range extends from (VEE + 1.6V) to (VCC – 1.6V), and output swing reaches within 1.1V of rails under 100Ω load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal BW (-3dB) | 400MHz - supports wideband IF and RF signal amplification up to cellular LTE/UWB bands |
| SFDR @ 5MHz | -90dBc - enables clean digitization of multi-tone signals in 14–16-bit ADC front-ends |
| Slew Rate | 900V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transient signals without slewing-induced distortion |
| Output Drive | ±45mA into 100Ω - sustains full-scale output swing driving coaxial cables or ADC input networks |
| Voltage Noise Density | 8nV/√Hz @ 1kHz - preserves SNR in low-level signal amplification paths (e.g., receiver LNA outputs) |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +8.0V single supply - simplifies power architecture vs. dual-rail alternatives |
| Disable Current | 1.6mA per amplifier - reduces system idle power in time-multiplexed or burst-mode signal chains |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4265EUA is housed in an 8-pin µMAX® package (2.1mm × 2.3mm, 0.5mm pitch), thermally enhanced for high-speed analog operation and compatible with fine-pitch PCB assembly.

| 1 | DISABLE | Active-low enable control; logic low disables amplifier and forces output high-Z |
| 2 | IN- | Inverting input; accepts differential or single-ended feedback configurations |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input; supports DC-coupled sensor or signal source interfaces |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply pin; tied to ground in single-supply operation |
| 5 | OUT | Amplifier output; capable of ±45mA drive into 100Ω with rail-to-rail swing margin |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply pin; accepts +4.5V to +8.0V; requires local 1nF + 0.1µF bypassing |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 8 | N.C. | No internal connection; same as Pin 7 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8009ARZ | Higher 1GHz GBW but higher 13nV/√Hz noise; no disable function; SOIC-8 package | Preferred where maximum bandwidth outweighs power-down capability and noise floor | Select when system requires >500MHz closed-loop bandwidth and disable mode is unnecessary |
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Lower 1.9nV/√Hz noise but 200MHz bandwidth; no disable; 8-pin SOIC; higher quiescent current (12.5mA) | Better for ultra-low-noise preamp stages where bandwidth ≤200MHz suffices | Choose when SNR dominates over speed and power gating is not required |

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the MAX4265EUA?
The MAX4265EUA operates from a single +4.5V to +8.0V supply or dual ±2.25V to ±4.0V supplies. In single-supply configuration, VEE is connected to ground. The device maintains specified AC performance across this full range, including -90dBc SFDR at 5MHz and 400MHz bandwidth at both 4.5V and 8.0V rails.
Is the MAX4265EUA unity-gain stable, and what does that mean for circuit design?
Yes, the MAX4265EUA is internally compensated for unity-gain stability (AV = +1V/V). This means it can be used as a voltage follower or noninverting buffer without external phase-compensation components. Designers benefit from simplified layout, reduced component count, and guaranteed stability in gain-of-one configurations - critical for ADC input buffering and signal isolation.
How does the disable function work on the MAX4265EUA, and what is its impact on system power?
The MAX4265EUA features an active-low DISABLE pin (Pin 1). Pulling it low reduces quiescent supply current to 1.6mA per amplifier and places the output in high-impedance state. With 100ns enable time and 750µs disable time, it supports rapid power cycling in time-division multiplexed systems - enabling significant power savings during idle periods without compromising signal chain responsiveness.
What load conditions does the MAX4265EUA support, and how does it perform into 100Ω?
The MAX4265EUA is specifically characterized to drive 100Ω loads while maintaining ultra-low distortion: -90dBc SFDR at 5MHz and -47dBc at 100MHz (VOUT = 1Vp-p). It delivers ±45mA output current and sustains 1.1V rail margin under this load. This makes it suitable for driving terminated transmission lines, ADC input networks, and other moderate-impedance destinations without external current boosting.
Can the MAX4265EUA be used with dual supplies, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the MAX4265EUA supports dual-supply operation from ±2.25V to ±4.0V. The absolute maximum rating for supply voltage (VCC to VEE) is +8.5V, so combinations like +5V/–3V (8V total) are permissible and commonly used in video or asymmetric signal paths. Input common-mode range spans (VEE + 1.6V) to (VCC – 1.6V), ensuring robust operation across the full dual-supply envelope.
