Product details
Overview
The MAX4305ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a unity-gain-unstable, high-speed voltage-feedback operational amplifier optimized for minimum closed-loop gain of +10V/V, delivering 340MHz -3dB bandwidth and 1400V/µs slew rate in a 5-pin SOT23 package. It features 2.1nV/√Hz input voltage noise density, -88dBc spurious-free dynamic range at 5MHz (RL = 100Ω), and ±70mA output drive capability. It serves as a precision video line driver or ADC input buffer in high-fidelity analog signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4305ESA+T datasheet, MAX4305ESA+T pinout, MAX4305ESA+T application, or MAX4305ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its +10V/V minimum stable gain requirement, 340MHz bandwidth under AVCL = +10, differential gain/phase error of 0.02%/0.02° (NTSC, RL = 150Ω), and compatibility with ±3.5V to ±5.5V dual supplies.
Technical Context
The MAX4305ESA+T employs a voltage-feedback architecture with internal compensation tailored for stable operation only at closed-loop gains ≥ +10V/V. Its wideband design achieves 100MHz 0.1dB gain flatness and supports full-power bandwidth up to 285MHz (VOUT = 2Vp-p).
This op amp delivers low distortion across video and RF bands: -88dBc SFDR at 5MHz and harmonic distortion below -70dBc (2nd/3rd) up to 100MHz. Its ±3.7V output swing into 100kΩ and ±3.5V into 100Ω enables robust driving of terminated coaxial lines and ADC inputs.

| 3 (IN-) | Inverting Input | High-impedance input used for feedback network connection; sensitive to layout parasitics |
| 4 (VEE) | Negative Power Supply | Connects to -3.5V to -5.5V rail; requires local 1nF + 0.1µF ceramic bypass to ground plane |
| 5 (VCC) | Positive Power Supply | Connects to +3.5V to +5.5V rail; bypassing identical to VEE; substrate tied to VEE per chip info |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4304ESA+ | +2V/V minimum gain; 740MHz bandwidth; 1000V/µs slew rate | Better suited for medium-gain video buffers and RF IF amplifiers requiring wider bandwidth | Select MAX4304ESA+ when gain ≥ +2V/V and bandwidth > 500MHz is required; not stable at AVCL = +10 |
| THS3201DGN | +1V/V unity-gain stable; 1.8GHz bandwidth; 6000V/µs slew rate; higher quiescent current (22mA vs 27mA) | Preferred for ultra-wideband applications where unity-gain stability and >1GHz bandwidth are mandatory | Choose THS3201DGN for unity-gain designs or when >1GHz small-signal bandwidth is critical; MAX4305ESA+T offers lower noise (2.1 vs 3.3nV/√Hz) |
Compared with MAX4304ESA+ and THS3201DGN, the MAX4305ESA+T provides optimal trade-off between high-gain stability (+10V/V), low noise, and NTSC-grade video fidelity-making it uniquely suitable for fixed-gain, high-fidelity video line driving where gain > +5V/V is required.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable gain for the MAX4305ESA+T?
The MAX4305ESA+T is internally compensated for minimum closed-loop gain of +10V/V. Operation at gains below +10V/V is not guaranteed stable and may result in peaking or oscillation. This distinguishes it from the MAX4304ESA+ (+2V/V min) and MAX4104ESA+ (unity-gain stable). Always verify stability with actual load conditions using AC simulation or bench testing for the MAX4305ESA+T.
Does the MAX4305ESA+T support single-supply operation?
No, the MAX4305ESA+T is specified exclusively for dual-supply operation over ±3.5V to ±5.5V. Its input common-mode voltage range is -2.8V to +4.1V and output swing is asymmetric (±3.5V into 100Ω), indicating inherent bipolar biasing. Single-supply use would violate absolute maximum ratings and degrade performance; for single-rail designs, consider the MAX4382 or similar rail-to-rail alternatives instead of the MAX4305ESA+T.
What is the recommended power-supply bypassing for the MAX4305ESA+T?
Per Maxim's layout guidelines, place 1nF and 0.1µF ceramic capacitors as close as possible between each supply pin (VCC and VEE) and the solid ground plane. Use surface-mount components with shortest possible traces. Optionally add a 10µF tantalum capacitor at the PCB power entry point. The MAX4305ESA+T's high bandwidth makes improper bypassing a primary cause of instability or degraded SFDR-so strict adherence to this scheme is essential for reliable MAX4305ESA+T operation.
Can the MAX4305ESA+T drive 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, the MAX4305ESA+T can drive 75Ω coax when configured with proper back-termination: place a 75Ω resistor in series with the OUT pin, and terminate the far end with 75Ω to ground. This configuration leverages the MAX4305ESA+T's ±70mA output drive and ±3.5V swing into 100Ω to deliver full-scale video signals while maintaining 0.02% differential gain accuracy. Avoid unterminated or parallel-terminated configurations, which risk reflections and distortion in the MAX4305ESA+T.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4305ESA+T can drive without isolation?
The MAX4305ESA+T is characterized to drive up to 10pF of capacitive load without oscillation, though some peaking may occur in frequency response. For loads exceeding 10pF-or to suppress ringing in pulse applications-add an isolation resistor (RISO) between OUT and CL. Optimal RISO values range from 15Ω to 47Ω depending on load capacitance (per Figure 5 in the datasheet); using RISO trades bandwidth for stability in the MAX4305ESA+T.
