Product details
Overview
MAX4353EKA-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, high-speed, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier compensated for minimum +5V/V closed-loop gain, delivering 80MHz -3dB bandwidth, 240V/µs slew rate, and 620µA supply current per amplifier. It operates from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply and targets low-power, wide-bandwidth signal conditioning in portable communications and keyless entry systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4353EKA-T datasheet, MAX4353EKA-T pinout, MAX4353EKA-T application, or MAX4353EKA-T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOT23-8 package details, dual-amplifier functional context, and validated alternative options for +5V/V gain-stable op amp designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4353EKA-T implements a voltage-feedback architecture with internal compensation optimized for stable operation at closed-loop gains ≥ +5V/V. Its bipolar process enables fast large-signal response (8ns rise/fall time) and low distortion (–74dBc SFDR at 1MHz), while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing within 180mV of each supply rail under 1kΩ load.
Input common-mode range extends from (VEE – 0.1V) to (VCC – 1.5V), supporting ground-sensing capability. Output stage features demand-driven biasing and low open-loop output impedance (<0.8Ω at 1MHz), ensuring minimal gain variation across capacitive or resistive loads up to 22pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 80MHz - supports baseband video, IF amplification, and ADC driver applications requiring flat gain up to 4MHz (0.1dB flatness). |
| Slew Rate | 240V/µs - enables clean 2Vp-p signal reproduction at >38MHz large-signal bandwidth without slewing distortion. |
| Supply Current | 620µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel operation at <1.25mA total, critical for battery-powered instruments. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.4mV typical - ensures ≤±1mV matching between channels, minimizing DC error in differential or parallel configurations. |
| Output Swing | Within 180mV of rails (VCC/VEE) at 1kΩ - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems operating down to +2.7V. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.25V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Input Noise Density | 15nV/√Hz at 10kHz - suitable for medium-bandwidth sensor interfaces where SNR >70dB is required. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4353EKA-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178 compliant), measuring 2.80mm × 2.90mm × 1.30mm with gull-wing leads. This ultra-small outline supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - rail-to-rail capable, drives 1kΩ load to within 180mV of VCC/VEE. |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input for Amplifier A - differential pair node with 0.8µA typical input bias current. |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input for Amplifier A - common-mode range extends to VEE − 0.1V for ground-referenced sensing. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative power supply - connects to system ground in single-supply operation. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive power supply - accepts +2.7V to +5.25V; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 6 | INB− | Inverting input for Amplifier B - electrically isolated from INA−; crosstalk <−74dB at 1MHz. |
| 7 | INB+ | Noninverting input for Amplifier B - matched offset voltage (±1mV) relative to INA+ for dual-channel precision. |
| 8 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - identical AC/DC performance to OUTA; enables independent signal paths on one die. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual, gain-stable op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Higher 1.5GHz GBW, 1.8mA supply current, requires external compensation for stability at G ≥ +5V/V. | Used in high-fidelity audio and test equipment where bandwidth >500MHz is mandatory. | Select when >100MHz small-signal bandwidth is required and higher power is acceptable. |
| ADA4891-2ARZ | Unity-gain stable, 225MHz bandwidth, 4.4mA supply current, rail-to-rail I/O, lower noise (4nV/√Hz). | Preferred in precision instrumentation where unity-gain buffering and low noise dominate over power. | Choose for unity-gain applications or when <5nV/√Hz noise is critical; not drop-in for +5V/V fixed-gain designs. |
Compared with LMH6629MA/NOPB and ADA4891-2ARZ, the MAX4353EKA-T uniquely balances 80MHz bandwidth, +5V/V minimum gain stability, and sub-1mA quiescent current-making it optimal for battery-operated RF and portable signal chain stages where power and gain configuration are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum stable closed-loop gain for the MAX4353EKA-T?
The MAX4353EKA-T is internally compensated for stable operation at closed-loop gains of +5V/V and higher. It is not unity-gain stable; using it at G = +1V/V may cause peaking or oscillation. For unity-gain applications, the pin-compatible MAX4453EKA-T is recommended. The +5V/V minimum gain specification is confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics table and Selector Guide.
Does the MAX4353EKA-T support rail-to-rail input operation?
No, the MAX4353EKA-T does not support rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range is specified from (VEE – 0.1V) to (VCC – 1.5V), meaning it cannot sense signals within 1.5V of the positive rail. However, it does provide true rail-to-rail output swing-within 180mV of both VCC and VEE under 1kΩ load-as verified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX4353EKA-T use?
The MAX4353EKA-T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178), with body dimensions of 2.80mm × 2.90mm × 1.30mm and lead pitch of 0.65mm. This is distinct from the Thin SOT23-8 (AAAB marking) and SO-8 variants-confirmed by the Ordering Information table where "EKA-T" maps exclusively to standard SOT23-8.
Can the MAX4353EKA-T drive capacitive loads directly?
The MAX4353EKA-T is characterized to drive up to 22pF capacitive load without instability, as stated in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. For larger loads, an isolation resistor (RISO) must be placed in series with the output-values ranging from 10Ω to 30Ω depending on capacitance, per Figure 2 in the Applications Information section. Direct connection to >22pF loads risks ringing or oscillation.
How does the MAX4353EKA-T compare to the MAX4453EKA-T in terms of bandwidth and gain stability?
The MAX4353EKA-T offers 80MHz -3dB bandwidth and is compensated for minimum +5V/V gain, whereas the MAX4453EKA-T delivers 200MHz bandwidth but is unity-gain stable. Both share identical SOT23-8 packaging, supply range (+2.7V to +5.25V), and quiescent current (620µA per amplifier). The choice depends strictly on required gain configuration and bandwidth trade-offs.
