Product details
Overview
The MAX4310ESA from Maxim Integrated is a 2-channel, single-supply video multiplexer-amplifier with adjustable-gain amplifier optimized for unity-gain stability, 280MHz −3dB bandwidth, 460V/µs slew rate, and 40ns channel switching time-designed for broadcast-quality video signal routing in SD/HD analog video systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4310ESA datasheet, MAX4310ESA pinout, MAX4310ESA application, or MAX4310ESA equivalent, this device is selected for high-fidelity video switching where low differential gain/phase error (0.06%/0.08°), rail-to-rail output swing into 150Ω, and ultra-low 10mVp-p switching transients are critical to maintaining signal integrity across multichannel video distribution paths.
Technical Context
The MAX4310ESA integrates a 2:1 analog multiplexer with a voltage-feedback amplifier configured for ≥+1V/V closed-loop gain, supporting noninverting configurations via external feedback resistors. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail (VEE), enabling ground-sensing operation in single-supply +4V to +10.5V systems.
It features rail-to-rail outputs with 8Ω open-loop output impedance over full voltage range, minimizing gain error under load, and uses internal logic (A0) to select between IN0 and IN1 inputs. Shutdown mode reduces supply current to 560µA and places OUT in high-impedance state.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX4310ESA is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with 1.27mm pitch and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A0) | Channel address input | Selects IN0 (logic low) or IN1 (logic high); TTL/CMOS-compatible threshold (VEE+1V / VCC−1V) |
| 2 (SHDN) | Shutdown control input | Active-low enable; pulls output to high-Z and reduces ICC to 560µA when ≤VEE+1V |
| 3 (VCC) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +4V to +10.5V; bypass with 100nF ceramic capacitor directly at pin |
| 4 (IN0) | Multiplexer channel 0 input | High-impedance, 2pF input capacitance (on/off stable); DC-coupled video input path |
| 5 (IN1) | Multiplexer channel 1 input | Identical to IN0; matched gain/phase response ensures seamless source switching |
| 6 (IN7) | Not connected (NC) | Internally unconnected; tie to ground plane for optimal EMI performance |
| 7 (VEE) | Negative supply / ground | Ground reference for single-supply operation; extends input common-mode to rail |
| 8 (OUT) | Amplified multiplexer output | Rail-to-rail, low-impedance (8Ω open-loop); drives 150Ω loads to within 730mV of rails |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video multiplexer-amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4313ESA | Fixed +2V/V gain, 150MHz −3dB bandwidth, 540V/µs slew rate | Optimized for driving back-terminated 75Ω cables; not adjustable-gain | Select when fixed 6dB gain and higher drive strength are required, and unity-gain stability is not needed |
| THS4302DR | Single-channel, 1.8GHz GBW, 3000V/µs slew rate, no integrated mux | Requires external analog switch; superior speed but higher power (12.5mA) | Select when >280MHz bandwidth is mandatory and discrete mux integration is acceptable |
Compared with MAX4313ESA and THS4302DR, the MAX4310ESA uniquely combines 2-channel mux integration, unity-gain stability, and broadcast-grade video fidelity in an 8-pin SO package-making it optimal for space-constrained, low-glitch SD/HD video routing where gain flexibility and minimal layout complexity are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the MAX4310ESA?
The MAX4310ESA operates from a single +4V to +10.5V supply or dual ±2V to ±5.25V supplies. Absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC to VEE) is 12V. Exceeding this risks permanent damage. For reliable operation in video systems, +5V or +9V single-supply configurations are most common, with appropriate 100nF ceramic bypassing at VCC and VEE pins.
Does the MAX4310ESA support rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
The MAX4310ESA supports input common-mode voltage from VEE (ground in single-supply) to VCC − 2.8V. This rail-to-rail input capability enables direct connection of ground-referenced video signals without level-shifting circuitry. Operation beyond this range may increase switching time or cause nonlinear output behavior-but no phase reversal or latchup occurs.
Can the MAX4310ESA drive a 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes-the MAX4310ESA can drive a 75Ω coaxial cable when used with proper back-termination: configure the output load as 150Ω to VCC/2 (equivalent to two 75Ω terminations), achieving full rail-to-rail swing within 730mV of VCC. Its 280MHz bandwidth and 0.06% differential gain error ensure broadcast-compliant signal integrity over typical studio cable lengths.
What is the function of the IN7 pin on the MAX4310ESA?
Pin 6 of the MAX4310ESA is labeled IN7 in the family pinout table but is designated "N.C." (Not Connected) for this specific device. It is internally unconnected and must be tied to the ground plane-not left floating-to minimize EMI and ensure optimal high-frequency performance per Maxim's layout guidelines.
How does shutdown mode affect the output impedance of the MAX4310ESA?
In shutdown mode (SHDN ≤ VEE + 1V), the MAX4310ESA disables its output stage and places the OUT pin in a high-impedance state with typical resistance of 35kΩ. This allows safe paralleling of multiple MAX4310ESA outputs in large video switch matrices-only the active device drives the shared bus while others present negligible loading.
