Product details
Overview
MAX4389EXT from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier with disable functionality, designed for high-speed video line driving and analog interface applications. It delivers 85MHz -3dB bandwidth, 500V/µs slew rate, 0.015% differential gain error, and operates from single 4.5V–11V or dual ±2.25V–±5.5V supplies - enabling robust NTSC video signal conditioning in surveillance systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4389EXT datasheet, MAX4389EXT pinout, MAX4389EXT application, or MAX4389EXT equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SC70-6 package layout, disable timing (40ns ON / 80ns OFF), rail-to-rail output swing into 75Ω, and real-world video-line-driver use cases with distortion and settling performance data.
Technical Context
The MAX4389EXT employs voltage-feedback architecture enhanced with current-feedback techniques to achieve high slew rate and wide bandwidth while maintaining unity-gain stability. Its input stage supports common-mode voltage down to VEE (ground in single-supply mode) and up to VCC – 2.25V, enabling direct interfacing with ADCs and CCD sensors.
Internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation; external 24Ω feedback resistor optimizes AC response by damping parasitic LC resonance. The disable function asserts high-impedance output (95kΩ) with only 450µA quiescent current, supporting multiplexer and power-gating configurations in multi-channel video systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 85MHz (measured under dual ±5V supply, large-signal 2VP-P condition) |
| Slew Rate | 500V/µs (enables clean 2VP-P video pulse transmission with minimal distortion) |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.015% (NTSC-compliant performance for broadcast-quality video line driving) |
| Output Drive | ±50mA into 75Ω (directly drives standard video termination without external buffers) |
| Disable Current | 450µA (reduces system standby power in multi-amplifier video routing architectures) |
| Supply Range | Single 4.5V–11V or dual ±2.25V–±5.5V (supports legacy 5V and modern low-voltage video subsystems) |
| Settling Time | 21ns to 0.1% (ensures accurate pixel-level timing in high-resolution digital video capture) |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4389EXT is housed in a 6-pin SC70 package (package code X5-1), footprint-compatible with SOT23-6 but 30% smaller. Thermal resistance θJA = 322°C/W; recommended PCB pad layout per Maxim drawing 21-0077.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail voltage output capable of sourcing/sinking ±50mA into 75Ω load |
| 2 - VEE | Negative supply | Connect to ground (single supply) or negative rail; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor |
| 3 - IN+ | Noninverting input | High-impedance node (3MΩ common-mode input resistance); accepts VEE to VCC–2.25V |
| 4 - IN− | Inverting input | Differential input pair node; matched to IN+ for <1mV offset voltage matching in multi-amp variants |
| 5 - DISABLE | Active-low disable control | Logic-low (≤VCC–3V) places output in high-Z state; 40ns enable / 80ns disable timing |
| 6 - VCC | Positive supply | Accepts 4.5V–11V single or ±2.25V–±5.5V dual; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor near pin |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6702MF/NOPB | Higher 1.7GHz GBW but no disable function; 12mA quiescent current vs. 5.5mA | Lacks integrated disable logic; requires external MOSFET switch for power gating | Choose when ultra-wide bandwidth (>500MHz small-signal) is critical and disable is implemented externally |
| ADA4817-1ACPZ-R7 | Faster 1GHz GBW and lower 4.3nV/√Hz noise, but no rail-to-rail output and no disable pin | Requires level-shifting for ground-referenced video; not suitable for direct 75Ω line driving | Prefer for precision ADC buffering where noise dominates, not for video line driving |
Compared with LMH6702MF/NOPB and ADA4817-1ACPZ-R7, the MAX4389EXT uniquely integrates rail-to-rail output, disable control, and NTSC-optimized distortion performance in a 6-pin SC70 package - making it the only drop-in solution for space-constrained, low-power video routing applications requiring fast channel switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4389EXT can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4389EXT is not optimized for direct capacitive loading. Driving >10pF requires an isolation resistor (typically 10Ω–15Ω) between the output and load to maintain stability. Figure 3 in the datasheet shows optimal RISO vs. CL; for 100pF, a 27Ω resistor is recommended. Without isolation, peaking and ringing occur above 10MHz, degrading video signal integrity. MAX4389EXT must be used with proper layout and isolation for reliable operation.
Does the MAX4389EXT support single-supply operation with ground-referenced input signals?
Yes. The MAX4389EXT input common-mode range extends to VEE (ground in single-supply mode) and up to VCC – 2.25V, allowing direct connection of ground-referenced sources like DAC outputs or CCD sensors. Its rail-to-rail output swings within 200mV of both rails, preserving full signal swing. This makes MAX4389EXT ideal for single-5V video interfaces where input and output share a common ground reference.
What is the typical power dissipation of the MAX4389EXT at +25°C?
At +25°C with VCC = 5V and VEE = 0V, the MAX4389EXT draws 5.5mA quiescent supply current per amplifier, resulting in ~27.5mW static power dissipation. In disabled state, current drops to 450µA (2.25mW). The SC70-6 package has θJA = 322°C/W; at 5.5mA, junction temperature rise is ~8.9°C above ambient - well within safe operating limits for continuous video line driving.
Can the MAX4389EXT be used in inverting amplifier configurations?
Yes. The MAX4389EXT is unity-gain stable and supports both inverting and noninverting configurations. For best AC performance in inverting mode, use low-value resistors (e.g., RF = RG = 100Ω) to avoid bandwidth degradation from parasitic capacitance. Layout guidelines require short traces, ground plane, and 0.1µF supply bypassing. MAX4389EXT maintains 85MHz bandwidth and 0.1dB flatness up to 27MHz in properly implemented inverting gain-of-two circuits.
Is the MAX4389EXT pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX4389/MAX4390 family?
No. The MAX4389EXT (6-pin SC70) shares pinout with MAX4390EXT but differs from MAX4393/MAX4394/MAX4396 which have additional disable pins per channel. MAX4389EXT pin 5 is DISABLE; MAX4390EXT pin 5 is also DISABLE, but MAX4390EUK+T (5-pin SOT23) lacks DISABLE entirely. Always verify package and pin function using the "Pin Configurations" section of the MAX4389/MAX4390 datasheet before board reuse.
