Product details
Overview
MAX4351EKA from Maxim Integrated is a dual, unity-gain-stable, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for high-speed video and instrumentation signal conditioning. It operates from ±5V dual supplies, delivers 210MHz -3dB bandwidth, 485V/µs slew rate, and achieves 0.02% differential gain / 0.08° differential phase error into 150Ω loads - making it ideal for NTSC-compliant video line driving and ADC interface buffering.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4351EKA datasheet, MAX4351EKA pinout, MAX4351EKA application, or MAX4351EKA equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel SOT23-8 package, ±4.5V to ±5.5V supply range, rail-to-rail output swing within 125mV of rails, and verified performance in 75Ω/150Ω video termination topologies.
Technical Context
The MAX4351EKA employs a voltage-feedback architecture enhanced with current-feedback techniques to achieve wide bandwidth and fast settling (16ns to 0.1%). Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from VEE to (VCC − 2.25V), enabling ground-sensing operation in single-supply configurations.
Each amplifier channel features low open-loop output impedance (8Ω), 10nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and 1.8pA/√Hz input current noise. Channel-to-channel isolation exceeds 102dB at DC, confirming robust crosstalk suppression in dual-channel operation.

| Slew Rate | 485V/µs - supports clean 2V-step transitions in ≤16ns, critical for fast pulse fidelity |
| Output Swing | Rails ±125mV @ 2kΩ - delivers >9.75Vpp dynamic range from ±5V supplies |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.02%/0.08° @ NTSC, 150Ω - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements |
| Supply Current | 6.9mA per amplifier - enables dual-channel high-speed operation under 14mA total quiescent load |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE to (VCC − 2.25V) - allows direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors or DAC outputs |
| Channel Isolation | 102dB at DC - prevents signal coupling between channels in multi-channel video routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6702MA/NOPB | Higher 1.7GHz GBW but requires ±5.5V min supply; no rail-to-rail output (clips ~1.2V from rails) | Better for RF IF amplification; unsuitable for rail-limited video swing or ground-sensing inputs | Choose LMH6702MA/NOPB only if >1GHz bandwidth is mandatory and output swing margin >1.2V is acceptable. |
| ADA4817-2ARMZ | Lower 1GHz GBW, 250V/µs slew rate, 4.8mA per amp; rail-to-rail output but narrower 0.1dB flatness (25MHz) | Lower power, better noise (4nV/√Hz), but insufficient gain flatness for broadcast video standards | Choose ADA4817-2ARMZ for portable instrumentation where power <10mA/channel is critical and video fidelity is secondary. |
Compared with MAX4351EKA, LMH6702MA/NOPB trades rail-to-rail output and ground-sensing capability for raw bandwidth, while ADA4817-2ARMZ reduces power and noise at the expense of video-grade differential gain/phase and 0.1dB flatness - making MAX4351EKA uniquely balanced for cost-sensitive, broadcast-compliant dual-channel video systems.

FAQ
What supply voltage range does the MAX4351EKA support?
The MAX4351EKA operates from dual ±4.5V to ±5.5V supplies, with absolute maximum ratings up to ±6V. It is not rated for single-supply operation above +10V or below 0V; however, VEE may be connected to ground for single-supply use with reduced input common-mode range (0V to +2.75V). The MAX4351EKA maintains specified AC performance only within the ±4.5V to ±5.5V range.
Does the MAX4351EKA require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the MAX4351EKA is internally compensated and unity-gain stable. When used in unity-gain configuration, a 24Ω resistor in series with the feedback path (RF) is recommended to optimize AC response and suppress peaking caused by parasitic LC resonance. This resistor is not for compensation but for high-frequency damping - the MAX4351EKA remains stable without it, though with degraded 0.1dB flatness beyond 40MHz.
Can the MAX4351EKA drive 75Ω coaxial cables directly?
Yes, the MAX4351EKA can drive 75Ω coaxial cables when properly terminated: use a 24Ω series resistor (RF) at the output and back-terminate the cable with 75Ω to ground at the load end. This configuration matches impedance, minimizes reflections, and leverages the MAX4351EKA's low output impedance (1.5Ω at 10MHz) and 485V/µs slew rate to preserve signal integrity for NTSC/PAL video waveforms.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the MAX4351EKA?
The MAX4351EKA supports an input common-mode voltage range from VEE to (VCC − 2.25V), i.e., −5V to +2.75V with ±5V supplies. This "ground-sensing" capability allows direct interfacing with 0V-referenced sources like DAC outputs or sensor amplifiers. Operation outside this range degrades CMRR and may cause nonlinear output behavior, but does not induce phase reversal or latch-up.
How does the MAX4351EKA compare to the single-channel MAX4350 in terms of pin compatibility?
The MAX4351EKA (8-pin SOT23) is not pin-compatible with the MAX4350 (5-pin SC70 or SOT23). Their pinouts differ fundamentally: MAX4350 uses pins 1–5 for OUT/VEE/IN+/IN−/VCC, while MAX4351EKA allocates pins 1–8 across two independent amplifiers with dedicated IN+/IN−/OUT per channel plus shared VEE and VCC. Board redesign is required to substitute MAX4351EKA for MAX4350 or vice versa.
