Product details
Overview
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 SFDR at 5MHz (100Ω load), 900V/µs slew rate, and 8nV/√Hz input voltage noise density while operating from a +4.5V to +8.0V single supply. It is engineered for high-speed ADC driver and IF amplifier applications in RF telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4265EUA+ datasheet, MAX4265EUA+ pinout, MAX4265EUA+ application, or MAX4265EUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 400MHz unity-gain bandwidth, active-low disable functionality with 100ns enable time, ±45mA output drive into 100Ω, and guaranteed operation across -40°C to +85°C with 8-pin µMAX® packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX4265EUA+ employs proprietary bipolar process technology to achieve ultra-low distortion in single-supply configurations-typically a feature of dual-supply op amps. Its internal unity-gain compensation ensures stability without external phase compensation networks, enabling robust performance in noninverting gain-of-1 configurations driving reactive or resistive loads up to 100Ω.
It features an active-low DISABLE pin that places the output in high-impedance state while reducing quiescent current to 1.6mA per amplifier. The input common-mode range extends from (VEE + 1.6V) to (VCC – 1.6V), and the output swings to within 1.1V of each rail under load-critical for preserving dynamic range in DC-coupled high-speed interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 400MHz at AV = +1V/V - enables baseband-to-IF amplification up to UHF without gain peaking or instability |
| SFDR @ 5MHz | -90dBc into 100Ω - preserves signal integrity in wideband ADC front-ends with >16-bit ENOB capability |
| Slew Rate | 900V/µs - supports clean 1VP-P step response with <15ns 0.1% settling time |
| Input Voltage Noise | 8nV/√Hz at 1kHz - minimizes added noise floor in low-level RF/IF signal chains |
| Output Drive | ±45mA into 100Ω - sustains full-scale swing into matched transmission-line loads |
| Disable Current | 1.6mA per amplifier - reduces system power by >90% during idle or multiplexed channel gating |
| Supply Range | +4.5V to +8.0V single supply - compatible with standard 5V and 3.3V logic rails via LDO or charge pump |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4265EUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX® package (2.1mm × 2.1mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained RF and high-density PCB layouts. Thermal resistance θJA is 244°C/W, supporting continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C with minimal heatsinking.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DISABLE | Active-low digital control input; pulls output to high-Z when logic low (≤ VEE + 0.3V) |
| 2 | IN– | Inverting input terminal; accepts differential or single-ended feedback networks |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input terminal; supports DC-coupled sensor or IF signal injection |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply pin; tied to ground in single-supply operation |
| 5 | OUT | Amplifier output; drives 100Ω loads directly with <1.1V rail headroom |
| 6 | VCC | Positive supply pin; accepts +4.5V to +8.0V with mandatory 1nF + 0.1µF bypassing |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected or grounded per layout best practice |
| 8 | N.C. | No internal connection; electrically isolated; avoid routing signals nearby |

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 bandwidth but higher 13nV/√Hz noise and no disable function; requires dual ±5V supplies for optimal distortion | Better suited for DC-coupled photodiode preamps than RF IF buffering where low SFDR dominates | Select AD8009ARZ only if >500MHz bandwidth is required and disable functionality is unnecessary |
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Lower 2.5nV/√Hz noise but 200MHz bandwidth and no integrated disable; operates down to +2.7V supply | Preferred for battery-powered portable instrumentation, not fixed infrastructure with strict SFDR requirements | Choose LMH6629MA/NOPB when ultra-low noise dominates over wideband distortion performance |
Compared with AD8009ARZ and LMH6629MA/NOPB, the MAX4265EUA+ uniquely balances 400MHz bandwidth, -90dBc SFDR at 5MHz, active disable, and single-supply operation-making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, space-constrained RF IF amplifiers where spectral purity and power gating are co-primary requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum load capacitance the MAX4265EUA+ can drive without external isolation?
The MAX4265EUA+ maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 15pF and less than 2dB peaking in small-signal gain response. For larger loads-such as ADC sampling capacitors exceeding 15pF-an external series isolation resistor (e.g., 6Ω–18Ω depending on load value) is required between the MAX4265EUA+ output and the capacitive node to preserve phase margin and prevent oscillation.
Does the MAX4265EUA+ require dual supplies to achieve its specified SFDR performance?
No. The MAX4265EUA+ achieves its -90dBc SFDR at 5MHz and -47dBc at 100MHz using a single +5V supply (within the +4.5V to +8.0V range). Its proprietary bipolar process enables ultra-low distortion in single-supply operation-a key differentiator versus most high-speed op amps that demand dual ±5V rails for comparable SFDR.
How does the disable function affect output state and system power consumption?
When DISABLE is pulled low, the MAX4265EUA+ output enters a true high-impedance state (not clamped or weakly driven), and quiescent supply current drops to 1.6mA per amplifier-reducing total power by >90% versus normal operation (28mA typical). This enables precise channel gating in multiplexed signal paths without loading downstream circuitry.
Can the MAX4265EUA+ drive a 50Ω transmission line directly?
Yes-the MAX4265EUA+ delivers ±45mA into 100Ω and can drive 50Ω loads with appropriate gain-setting network design. For 50Ω back-terminated lines, configure as a gain-of-2 noninverting amplifier with 50Ω series output resistor to match characteristic impedance and minimize reflections, preserving signal integrity up to 200MHz.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for the MAX4265EUA+ at +5V supply?
At VCC = +5V and VEE = 0V, the MAX4265EUA+ supports an input common-mode voltage range from +1.6V to +3.4V (i.e., VEE + 1.6V to VCC – 1.6V). This allows DC-coupled interfacing with mid-supply referenced sources such as mixers or DAC outputs without level-shifting circuitry.
