Product details
Overview
MAX4287EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel, unity-gain-stable, high-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized as an ADC input buffer. It delivers 250MHz small-signal -3dB bandwidth, 350V/µs slew rate, and 88dBc SFDR at 5MHz under +3V supply, enabling precise signal conditioning for high-resolution, high-sample-rate data acquisition in communications and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4287EUA+ datasheet, MAX4287EUA+ pinout, MAX4287EUA+ application, or MAX4287EUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-amplifier architecture, 8-pin µMAX package, disable-free operation (no ENABLE/DISABLE pins), ±106mA/±77mA output drive, and guaranteed performance from -40°C to +85°C across single +2.85V to +6.5V supplies.
Technical Context
The MAX4287EUA+ is a dual, internally compensated voltage-feedback op amp designed specifically for driving high-speed analog-to-digital converters. Its unity-gain stability, rail-to-rail input common-mode range (down to VEE), and low distortion make it suitable for direct connection to ADC front-ends without external compensation.
Unlike the MAX4288/MAX4388 variants, the MAX4287EUA+ lacks dedicated disable inputs - it operates continuously with 24mA typical quiescent current (per amplifier) and achieves 6ns settling time to 0.1% with 20Ω load. Its differential input stage supports high CMRR (73dB min) and PSRR (50dB min), critical for noise-sensitive sampling paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 250MHz at AV = +1V/V - enables full-power bandwidth support for ≥125MSPS ADCs with minimal gain peaking. |
| Slew Rate | 350V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transient signals up to ~55MHz full-power sine wave without slewing distortion. |
| SFDR @ 5MHz | 88dBc - meets dynamic range requirements for 14-bit+ ADCs in baseband and IF sampling applications. |
| Output Drive | ±106mA sink / ±77mA source - drives low-impedance ADC inputs (e.g., 50Ω terminated) while maintaining linearity and settling fidelity. |
| Input Voltage Range | Extends to VEE (ground in single-supply) - allows DC-coupled input stages with zero-VIN capability and wide common-mode flexibility. |
| Supply Range | +2.85V to +6.5V single supply - supports portable, battery-powered, and industrial 3.3V/5V systems without dual-rail generation. |
| Quiescent Current | 24mA per amplifier (typ) - balances high-speed performance with moderate power consumption in continuous-operation buffer stages. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4287EUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed pad for improved power dissipation. Pin pitch is 0.5mm; recommended reflow profile complies with JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | INA− | Inverting input of Amplifier A - connects to feedback network in inverting configurations or termination in noninverting setups. |
| 2 | INA+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - accepts differential or single-ended signal source; referenced to ground or bias network. |
| 3 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - directly interfaces ADC input or passive filter; requires local 0.1µF bypass to VEE. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply / ground - must be low-impedance plane; shared return path for both amplifiers and ADC reference. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply - bypassed with 0.1nF ceramic + 0.1µF tantalum close to pin; defines operating headroom and output swing limits. |
| 6 | INB+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier B - independent channel for dual-path signal conditioning or I/Q channel buffering. |
| 7 | INB− | Inverting input of Amplifier B - used for matched gain-setting with Amplifier A or separate signal chain configuration. |
| 8 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - electrically isolated from OUTA; supports simultaneous dual-channel ADC sampling or redundancy schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual unity-gain stable amplifiers | Eliminates need for external compensation components; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in dual-channel ADC front-ends. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Supports DC-coupled inputs down to ground, enabling zero-VIN operation and flexible level-shifting without external biasing. |
| High output current drive (±106mA) | Drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., ADC sample-and-hold capacitance) while maintaining <0.1% settling within 6ns. |
| Low distortion (88dBc SFDR @ 5MHz) | Preserves signal integrity for high-resolution digitization; meets ENOB >13.5 bits at 5MHz input frequency. |
| Single-supply operation (+2.85V to +6.5V) | Reduces system power architecture complexity; compatible with standard 3.3V and 5V logic rails and LDO outputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel high-speed ADC buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4288EUA+ | Dual-channel with independent DISABLEA/DISABLEB pins; 10-pin µMAX; same 250MHz BW but higher quiescent current (28mA typ per amp). | Required where channel-level power gating is needed (e.g., time-multiplexed ADC inputs or power-aware systems). | Select MAX4288EUA+ only if per-amplifier enable/disable functionality is mandatory; otherwise MAX4287EUA+ offers simpler control and smaller footprint. |
| AD8021ARMZ | Single-channel, 200MHz bandwidth, 2250V/µs slew rate, ±5V supply only; no disable; SO-8 package. | Limited to single-path designs; unsuitable for dual-channel synchronous sampling without duplication. | Choose AD8021ARMZ for cost-sensitive, single-channel applications where ultra-high slew rate outweighs dual-channel integration and 3V operation. |
Compared with MAX4288EUA+, MAX4287EUA+ saves board space and eliminates enable timing constraints, while AD8021ARMZ trades dual-channel integration and single-supply flexibility for raw slew rate - making MAX4287EUA+ optimal for compact, 3.3V-based dual-path ADC front-ends.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by the MAX4287EUA+?
The MAX4287EUA+ operates from a single +2.85V to +6.5V supply or dual ±1.425V to ±3.25V supplies. At +3V nominal, it delivers full specified performance including 250MHz bandwidth and 88dBc SFDR. The input common-mode range extends to VEE (ground in single-supply mode), enabling true rail-to-rail input operation - a key requirement for interfacing with grounded sensor outputs or DC-coupled signal chains.
Does the MAX4287EUA+ have a disable or shutdown function?
No, the MAX4287EUA+ does not include a disable input. Unlike the MAX4288EUA+ or MAX4388 variants, it is a continuously operating dual op amp with no ENABLE/DISABLE pins. Its quiescent supply current is 24mA per amplifier (typical) under normal operation. This design simplifies control logic and eliminates enable/disable timing considerations, making it ideal for always-on ADC buffer applications where power gating is unnecessary.
What is the settling time and output drive capability of the MAX4287EUA+?
The MAX4287EUA+ achieves 6ns settling time to 0.1% with a 20Ω load and provides ±106mA sink / ±77mA source output current drive. This combination enables rapid, accurate charging of ADC sample-and-hold capacitors and robust driving of low-impedance or dynamically varying loads - critical for maintaining ENOB and minimizing aperture jitter in high-speed digitization systems.
Which package type is used for the MAX4287EUA+?
The MAX4287EUA+ is supplied in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with 0.5mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. This space-constrained, thermally efficient package supports high-density PCB layouts typical in portable instrumentation and communications modules. It is pin-compatible with the 8-pin SO variant (MAX4287ESA) but offers significantly reduced footprint and improved thermal performance.
How does the MAX4287EUA+ compare to the MAX4285EUT-T in terms of channel count and application scope?
The MAX4287EUA+ is a dual-channel amplifier, whereas the MAX4285EUT-T is a single-channel device in SOT23-6. Both share identical AC performance (250MHz BW, 350V/µs SR, 88dBc SFDR), but MAX4287EUA+ enables synchronized dual-path signal conditioning - essential for I/Q demodulation, differential ADC inputs, or redundant sensing. Its 8-pin µMAX footprint also supports better thermal management than the 6-pin SOT23, making it preferable for sustained high-output-drive operation.
