Product details
Overview
The MAX4315EEE from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, fixed-gain (+2V/V) video multiplexer-amplifier optimized for back-terminated 75Ω cable driving in broadcast and multimedia systems. It delivers 97MHz -3dB bandwidth, 310V/µs slew rate, 40ns channel switching time, and ultra-low 10mVp-p switching transients while operating from a single +4V to +10.5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4315EEE datasheet, MAX4315EEE pinout, MAX4315EEE application, or MAX4315EEE equivalent, key selection criteria include differential gain/phase error (0.09%/0.03°), rail-to-rail output swing into 150Ω, shutdown current (560µA), and QSOP-16 package compatibility with high-density video routing layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX4315EEE integrates an 8-input analog multiplexer with a voltage-feedback amplifier featuring internally trimmed 500Ω thin-film feedback resistors to fix gain at +2V/V. Its architecture supports single-supply operation down to +4V with input common-mode range extending to the negative rail and rail-to-rail output swing.
Channel selection is controlled via three logic inputs (A0–A2), enabling full 8:1 routing with 40ns switching and minimal transient energy. The amplifier maintains low open-loop output impedance (≤3Ω at 10MHz) and achieves <0.09% differential gain error - critical for NTSC/PAL composite video fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 97MHz - supports full HD baseband video signals up to ~40MHz fundamental with margin. |
| Slew Rate | 310V/µs - enables clean 2Vp-p step response without distortion in fast-switching video paths. |
| Channel Switching Time | 40ns - ensures minimal glitch duration during source switching in real-time video routing. |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.09% - preserves color saturation accuracy in broadcast-grade analog video transmission. |
| Output Voltage Swing | 30mV above VEE to within 730mV of VCC into 150Ω - meets 75Ω back-termination drive requirements. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 7.4mA typical - balances high-speed performance with power efficiency in multi-channel systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 560µA - reduces system standby power and enables output high-impedance for bus sharing. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4315EEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm, 0.635mm pitch), optimized for compact video signal routing on dense PCBs.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | A0, A1, A2 | Binary address inputs selecting one of eight analog channels (IN0–IN7); TTL/CMOS compatible. |
| 4 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown control; pulls outputs to high-Z and reduces ICC to 560µA when low. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 | IN0–IN7 | Eight independent analog input terminals; each presents constant 2pF capacitance whether selected or not. |
| 13 | VCC | Positive supply pin (4.0V to 10.5V); requires local 100nF ceramic bypass to ground plane. |
| 14 | GND | Ground reference; must connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 15 | OUT | Amplified, multiplexed output; rail-to-rail capable, drives 150Ω loads to within 730mV of rails. |
| 16 | VEE | Negative supply or ground for single-supply operation; input common-mode extends to this rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed +2V/V gain amplifier | Internally trimmed 500Ω thin-film resistors eliminate external components and ensure gain stability across temperature. |
| Rail-to-rail output stage | Drives 150Ω loads from 30mV above VEE to within 730mV of VCC - matches 75Ω coaxial line termination requirements. |
| Ultra-low switching transient | 10mVp-p glitch amplitude prevents visible artifacts during video source switching in real-time applications. |
| Input common-mode to negative rail | Enables ground-sensing operation in single-supply systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | Reduces supply current to 560µA and places OUT in high-impedance state - supports parallel mux matrix expansion. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video multiplexer-amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4314EEE | 4-channel version with identical +2V/V gain, 127MHz bandwidth, and same QSOP-16 package. | Lower channel count suits smaller-scale routing (e.g., quad-camera systems); reduced board area vs. 8-channel requirement. | Select MAX4314EEE when only four inputs are needed - shares layout, decoupling, and thermal design with MAX4315EEE. |
| MAX4313EUA | 2-channel variant in 8-pin µMAX package; same +2V/V gain and 150MHz bandwidth. | Targeted at space-constrained portable or modular video interfaces where density outweighs channel count. | Choose MAX4313EUA for compact 2:1 switching nodes; differs in footprint and thermal dissipation - not drop-in compatible. |
Compared with MAX4314EEE and MAX4313EUA, the MAX4315EEE provides the highest channel density (8:1) in the +2V/V family, making it optimal for centralized video aggregation where minimizing IC count and interconnect complexity is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the MAX4315EEE?
The MAX4315EEE supports a single-supply operating range from +4.0V to +10.5V, or dual supplies of ±2V to ±5.25V. Absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC to VEE) is 12V. Exceeding +10.5V risks violating internal bias conditions and may degrade differential gain accuracy or accelerate parametric drift over temperature.
Does the MAX4315EEE require external gain-setting resistors?
No, the MAX4315EEE features an internally trimmed +2V/V fixed-gain amplifier using matched 500Ω thin-film resistors. This eliminates external feedback components, reduces board area, and ensures gain stability across temperature and process variation - unlike the adjustable-gain MAX4312EEE which requires external RF/RG networks.
How does the MAX4315EEE handle input channel capacitance during switching?
The MAX4315EEE maintains a constant 2pF input capacitance on all IN0–IN7 pins regardless of channel selection state. This predictable loading prevents signal-source interaction and ensures stable impedance matching across switching events - a key enabler of its 10mVp-p switching transient performance.
Can the MAX4315EEE drive 75Ω coaxial cables directly?
Yes, the MAX4315EEE is explicitly optimized for driving back-terminated 75Ω video cables. Its rail-to-rail output delivers 30mV above VEE to within 730mV of VCC into 150Ω (equivalent to two 75Ω terminations), and its low 3Ω output impedance at 10MHz ensures minimal gain error under reactive load conditions.
What is the function of the VEE pin on the MAX4315EEE?
On the MAX4315EEE, the VEE pin serves as the negative supply rail or ground reference in single-supply configurations. Critically, the input common-mode voltage range extends to the VEE rail, enabling ground-sensing operation without level shifters - essential for interfacing with legacy video sources and DC-coupled sensor outputs.
