Product details
Overview
The MAX4390EUK from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier with disable functionality, designed for high-speed video and communications signal conditioning. It delivers 85MHz -3dB bandwidth, 500V/µs slew rate, and 0.015% differential gain error, operating from single 4.5V–11V or dual ±2.25V–±5.5V supplies. Its 5-pin SOT23 package and low-power disable mode (450µA) make it ideal for space-constrained video line drivers and ADC interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4390EUK datasheet, MAX4390EUK pinout, MAX4390EUK application, or MAX4390EUK equivalent, key selection criteria include its unity-gain stability, rail-to-rail output swing within 200mV of rails, 21ns settling time to 0.1%, 75Ω video load drive capability, and absence of internal disable logic-distinguishing it from the MAX4389/MAX4393/MAX4394/MAX4396 family members that feature active disable control.
Technical Context
The MAX4390EUK is a voltage-feedback op amp employing 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 operation) and up to VCC − 2.25V, enabling direct interfacing with video DACs and CCD outputs.
Unlike the MAX4389 and MAX4393–MAX4396, the MAX4390EUK lacks a dedicated DISABLE pin and corresponding high-impedance shutdown mode-its pinout omits disable functionality entirely, resulting in a 5-pin configuration versus the 6-pin SC70/SOT23 variants with disable. This simplifies biasing but removes dynamic power gating capability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed video op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4389EUT+T | Includes DISABLE pin (Pin 5), 6-pin SOT23, same bandwidth/slew rate, but adds 450µA shutdown mode | Required where dynamic power gating or multiplexer-style signal routing is needed | Select MAX4389EUT+T only if system-level power sequencing mandates amplifier disable control |
| THS3201DR | Higher 1.8GHz bandwidth, 4500V/µs slew rate, no rail-to-rail output, SO-8 package, higher quiescent current (12.5mA) | Better suited for RF IF amplification or ultra-high-speed pulse applications-not optimized for broadcast video fidelity | Choose THS3201DR only for non-video, high-frequency signal chain stages requiring extreme speed over video linearity |
Compared with the MAX4389EUT+T, the MAX4390EUK saves one PCB pad and eliminates disable logic complexity, while matching core video performance; versus the THS3201DR, it trades raw speed for superior differential gain/phase accuracy and lower power-making it purpose-built for analog video rather than general RF amplification.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by the MAX4390EUK?
The MAX4390EUK operates from a single 4.5V to 11V supply or dual ±2.25V to ±5.5V supplies. This range accommodates both battery-powered portable video equipment and fixed-line industrial video systems. The device maintains specified AC performance-including 85MHz bandwidth and 500V/µs slew rate-across the full voltage range, with PSRR guaranteed at 48dB minimum.
Does the MAX4390EUK have a disable function like other devices in the MAX4389/MAX439x family?
No, the MAX4390EUK does not include a disable function. Unlike the MAX4389, MAX4393, MAX4394, and MAX4396, which feature a dedicated DISABLE pin and high-impedance shutdown mode drawing only 450µA, the MAX4390EUK has a 5-pin SOT23 configuration with no disable terminal. Its pinout consists solely of OUT, VEE, IN+, IN−, and VCC-making it a simplified, always-active video amplifier.
What is the typical differential gain and phase error of the MAX4390EUK, and why does it matter for video applications?
The MAX4390EUK exhibits 0.015% differential gain error and 0.015° differential phase error under NTSC conditions with a 150Ω load. These values directly impact color fidelity in analog video: low differential gain error prevents saturation shifts between bright/dark areas, while low phase error avoids hue distortion across luminance levels. This performance meets broadcast-grade requirements and exceeds legacy video op amps, ensuring accurate color reproduction in surveillance and STB applications.
Can the MAX4390EUK drive a 75Ω video load with full 2VP-P output swing?
Yes, the MAX4390EUK is specified to deliver ±50mA output current into 75Ω loads, supporting 2VP-P signals with less than 0.1dB gain flatness up to 24MHz. Its rail-to-rail output stage swings within 200mV of each supply rail under full load, enabling full-scale video signal transmission without clipping-even at 5V single-supply operation. This eliminates need for external level-shifting or boost circuitry in standard video line driver designs.
What is the settling time and bandwidth specification of the MAX4390EUK, and how do they affect video signal integrity?
The MAX4390EUK achieves 21ns settling time to 0.1% and an 85MHz small-signal -3dB bandwidth (under dual ±5V supply). These specs ensure faithful reproduction of fast video transients-such as pixel clock edges and sync pulses-without overshoot, ringing, or amplitude droop. The combination enables accurate digitization of HD-ready video formats and preserves rise/fall symmetry critical for chroma/luma separation in composite video systems.
