Product details
Overview
MAX427CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual high-speed operational amplifier with 200MHz gain-bandwidth product, 120V/µs slew rate, and ±5V to ±15V supply range, used in video signal conditioning and high-frequency active filter circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX427CSA+ datasheet, MAX427CSA+ pinout, MAX427CSA+ application, or MAX427CSA+ equivalent, key selection considerations include bandwidth stability under capacitive loads, input bias current matching across channels, and SO-8 thermal performance at full output swing.
Technical Context
The MAX427CSA+ integrates two matched high-speed op-amps in a single SO-8 package, featuring internal compensation for unity-gain stability and rail-to-rail output swing capability up to ±13.5V with ±15V supplies. Input common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of the negative rail.
It employs bipolar transistor input stages delivering 5pA typical input bias current per amplifier and 0.3mV max input offset voltage at room temperature. The device operates over –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 200MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to 10MHz with 20dB gain |
| Slew Rate | 120V/µs - enables <10ns rise/fall times for 10Vpp signals into 100Ω load |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±15V - compatible with legacy industrial and test equipment rails |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.3mV max - ensures ≤0.5% gain error in precision DC-coupled gain stages |
| Input Bias Current | 5pA typical - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance feedback networks |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded signal chain use |
Pinout & Package
MAX427CSA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27mm pitch. Thermal resistance θJA is 160°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (AMP1) | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; matched to Pin 5 |
| 2 | Noninverting Input (AMP1) | DC-coupled input path; common-mode range includes negative rail |
| 3 | Output (AMP1) | Capable of ±13.5V swing into 500Ω; drives coaxial video lines directly |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply terminal; must be decoupled locally with 0.1µF ceramic |
| 5 | Inverting Input (AMP2) | Matched to Pin 1 for dual-channel common-mode rejection |
| 6 | Noninverting Input (AMP2) | Independent input stage; no internal cross-coupling with AMP1 |
| 7 | Output (AMP2) | Full-swing output; specified for 100Ω source termination in video applications |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply terminal; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to V– |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-speed op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX447CSA+ | Lower 100MHz GBW, 70V/µs slew rate, same SO-8 package and pinout | Reduced bandwidth limits use in >5MHz video or ultrasonic applications | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 10MHz+ signal fidelity requirements |
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | 2.8GHz GBW, 3750V/µs slew rate, SO-8 but different pin assignment (no pin compatibility) | Higher speed demands revised layout; not drop-in for existing MAX427CSA+ designs | Choose for next-generation designs requiring >100MHz small-signal bandwidth |
Compared with MAX427CSA+, MAX447CSA+ offers lower power and cost at reduced bandwidth, while LMH6629MA/NOPB delivers extreme speed at the expense of layout redesign and higher quiescent current-neither is pin-compatible, but both serve overlapping high-speed analog roles.

FAQ
Is MAX427CSA+ recommended for new designs?
No, MAX427CSA+ is not recommended for new designs. It was manufactured using a discontinued wafer process, and Maxim advises evaluating replacement solutions. The MAX427CSA+ datasheet remains available for legacy system maintenance and repair, but design-in of MAX427CSA+ in new projects is discouraged by the manufacturer.
What is the maximum output voltage swing of MAX427CSA+?
The MAX427CSA+ delivers ±13.5V output swing into 500Ω loads when operated with ±15V supplies. Output swing reduces linearly with decreasing supply voltage, maintaining rail-to-rail capability down to ±5V supplies, where it achieves ±3.5V swing under the same load conditions.
Does MAX427CSA+ require external compensation?
No, MAX427CSA+ is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. It operates stably with closed-loop gains of 1 or greater without external compensation components, simplifying PCB layout and reducing bill-of-materials count in gain-stage and buffer applications.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of MAX427CSA+?
The input common-mode voltage range of MAX427CSA+ extends from 1.5V above the negative supply rail to 1.5V below the positive supply rail. For example, with ±15V supplies, inputs operate from –13.5V to +13.5V, enabling true single-supply operation when V– is grounded and V+ = +30V.
Can MAX427CSA+ drive 75Ω coaxial video lines directly?
Yes, MAX427CSA+ can drive 75Ω coaxial video lines directly. Its 120V/µs slew rate and ability to deliver full-swing output into 100Ω loads make it suitable for composite video line driving, provided proper source termination (e.g., 75Ω series resistor at output) is implemented to prevent reflections.
