Product details
Overview
The MAX4311EEE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 4-channel, single-supply video multiplexer-amplifier with adjustable-gain amplifier optimized for unity-gain stability, 345MHz −3dB bandwidth, 430V/µs slew rate, and rail-to-rail output driving capability into 150Ω loads - deployed in broadcast video signal routing and high-speed analog switching systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4311EEE+ datasheet, MAX4311EEE+ pinout, MAX4311EEE+ application, or MAX4311EEE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count (4), gain configuration (≥+1V/V), switching transient (10mVp-p), differential gain/phase error (0.06%/0.08°), and QSOP-16 package compatibility with video crosspoint and flash ADC buffer designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4311EEE+ integrates a 4:1 analog multiplexer with an external-feedback, voltage-feedback amplifier optimized for closed-loop gains ≥+1V/V. Its input common-mode range extends to the negative rail (VEE), enabling ground-sensing operation in single-supply +4V to +10.5V systems.
It delivers 345MHz −3dB bandwidth and 430V/µs slew rate while maintaining ultra-low 40ns channel switching time and 10mVp-p switching transients - critical for preserving NTSC/PAL timing integrity and minimizing ghosting in composite video paths.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX4311EEE+ is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.635mm pitch), optimized for high-density video routing PCBs with thermal and EMI performance suitable for industrial and broadcast equipment.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 | LSB channel select address input; TTL/CMOS-compatible logic control for 4:1 mux |
| 2 | A1 | MSB channel select address input; enables deterministic input routing without software overhead |
| 3 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; reduces ICC to 560µA and places OUT in high-Z state |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply rail (+4V to +10.5V); bypassing with 100nF ceramic capacitor required |
| 5 | IN0 | Channel 0 analog input; 2pF input capacitance (constant on/off) minimizes source loading |
| 6 | IN1 | Channel 1 analog input; matched to IN0 for gain/phase tracking across channels |
| 7 | IN2 | Channel 2 analog input; supports simultaneous multi-source monitoring in security DVRs |
| 8 | IN3 | Channel 3 analog input; fully isolated when deselected (−82dB off-isolation @10MHz) |
| 9 | OUT | Amplified, multiplexed output; rail-to-rail capable with 8Ω open-loop output impedance |
| 10 | FB | Inverting feedback node; external RF/RG network sets closed-loop gain ≥+1V/V |
| 11–12 | N.C. | No-connect pins; tie to ground plane for optimal EMI suppression and thermal conduction |
| 13–14 | GND | Dual ground connections; separate return paths reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching |
| 15–16 | VEE | Negative supply / ground reference; supports single-supply operation with true ground-sensing inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video multiplexer-amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4311ESD+ | Same electrical specs; packaged in 14-pin narrow SO instead of 16-pin QSOP | Requires PCB layout change due to different footprint and pinout; no N.C. pins | Select for legacy SO-based designs where board space permits larger body size and lower thermal resistance |
| THS4302DR | Single-channel, 1.8GHz GBW, no integrated mux; requires external 4:1 analog switch | Higher bandwidth but lacks integrated multiplexing; increases component count and layout complexity | Choose only when >1GHz small-signal bandwidth is mandatory and discrete mux integration is acceptable |
Compared with MAX4311ESD+, the MAX4311EEE+ offers identical analog performance in a smaller QSOP-16 footprint with dedicated N.C. pins for grounding - improving EMI immunity in dense video routing boards. Versus THS4302DR, it trades raw bandwidth for integrated 4:1 switching, reducing BOM count and interconnect parasitics in multi-source video systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the MAX4311EEE+?
The MAX4311EEE+ operates from a single supply of +4.0V to +10.5V or dual supplies of ±2.0V to ±5.25V. Absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC to VEE) is 12V. Exceeding this may cause permanent damage. The device maintains specified performance across its full operating range, including rail-to-rail output swing and 345MHz bandwidth at both extremes.
Does the MAX4311EEE+ support DC-coupled video inputs?
Yes, the MAX4311EEE+ supports DC-coupled video inputs because its input common-mode voltage range extends to the negative supply rail (VEE). In single-supply operation with VEE = GND, this allows direct connection of ground-referenced CVBS or Y/C signals without AC coupling capacitors - preserving low-frequency response and eliminating baseline shift in composite video.
How does the MAX4311EEE+ achieve low switching transients during channel selection?
The MAX4311EEE+ achieves 10mVp-p switching transients through matched transistor pairs in its internal 4:1 multiplexer and charge-balanced switching architecture. This minimizes injected charge during channel transitions, preventing visible "glitches" in active video lines. The design also maintains constant 2pF input capacitance regardless of channel state, reducing source disturbance.
Can the MAX4311EEE+ drive a 75Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes, the MAX4311EEE+ can drive a 75Ω coaxial cable directly when configured with proper back-termination. Its rail-to-rail output swings within 730mV of VCC and 30mV of VEE into a 150Ω load - matching the parallel combination of 75Ω cable and 75Ω termination resistor. This eliminates need for external level-shifting or buffering stages in standard video line driver configurations.
What is the function of the FB pin on the MAX4311EEE+?
On the MAX4311EEE+, the FB (feedback) pin is the inverting input of the integrated amplifier, used with external RF and RG resistors to set closed-loop gain ≥+1V/V. Unlike fixed-gain variants (e.g., MAX4314), the MAX4311EEE+ relies on this external network for gain control and stability optimization - requiring careful layout to minimize stray capacitance and avoid peaking in frequency response.
