Product details
Overview
The MAX4412EXK+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel, unity-gain-stable, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-power, high-speed video and portable signal conditioning. It operates from +2.7V to +5.5V, delivers 500MHz -3dB bandwidth, 140V/µs slew rate, and 1.7mA supply current per amplifier, and is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package rated for -40°C to +85°C. It enables compact, battery-powered video line drivers and ADC input buffers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4412EXK+T datasheet, MAX4412EXK+T pinout, MAX4412EXK+T application, or MAX4412EXK+T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, package-specific terminal roles, real-world use cases in video and instrumentation, and validated alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX4412EXK+T uses a bipolar voltage-feedback architecture with internal unity-gain compensation, enabling stable operation without external compensation components. Its input common-mode range extends from 100mV below ground to within 1.5V of VCC, supporting ground-sensing in single-supply systems.
It features demand-driven output biasing and internal feedback to maintain low open-loop output impedance (<0.7Ω at 1MHz), ensuring consistent gain across varying load conditions. Stability with capacitive loads requires an external isolation resistor (e.g., 22Ω for 15pF), as the device is optimized for AC performance-not reactive load driving.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-power op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4412EUK+T | Identical electrical specs but in 5-pin SOT23 (U5-2) package; 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint vs. SC70's 2.0mm × 1.25mm. | Preferred where board assembly uses standard SOT23 tooling or higher thermal dissipation (571mW vs. 247mW) is required. | Select MAX4412EUK+T when SC70 reflow compatibility or ultra-miniaturization is not mandatory. |
| MAX4414ETA+T | Laser-trimmed variant: lower input offset voltage (0.15mV max vs. 0.4mV), tighter offset drift (0.5μV/°C), and improved CMRR (94dB min). | Suitable for precision DC-coupled applications (e.g., medical sensor front-ends) where offset stability outweighs cost sensitivity. | Choose MAX4414ETA+T only when sub-millivolt offset and <1μV/°C drift are design-critical; otherwise, MAX4412EXK+T offers optimal speed/power/cost balance. |
Compared with MAX4412EUK+T, the MAX4412EXK+T saves 38% board area but trades 324mW lower power dissipation; versus MAX4414ETA+T, it sacrifices laser-trimmed DC precision for 30% lower unit cost and identical AC performance-making it ideal for video and AC-coupled signal paths.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4412EXK+T?
The MAX4412EXK+T is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures reliable performance in battery-powered handheld devices, outdoor instrumentation, and automotive infotainment interfaces. All DC and AC specifications-including bandwidth, slew rate, and distortion-are guaranteed across this full range, with typical values measured at +25°C.
Does the MAX4412EXK+T require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the MAX4412EXK+T is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. When configured as a unity-gain buffer, it requires only a 24Ω feedback resistor (RF) to optimize AC response and suppress peaking caused by parasitic capacitance. This eliminates the need for external compensation networks while maintaining 500MHz bandwidth and 140V/µs slew rate in standard configurations.
Can the MAX4412EXK+T drive a 75Ω video load directly?
Yes-the MAX4412EXK+T can drive a 75Ω video load when configured as a unity-gain buffer with appropriate layout: use a 24Ω feedback resistor, place a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor within 2mm of the pin, and route the output through a series 22Ω isolation resistor before the 75Ω termination. This configuration achieves 0.01% differential gain error and maintains stability per NTSC/PAL video standards.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4412EXK+T can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4412EXK+T can drive up to 120pF without sustained oscillation-but only when a series isolation resistor (e.g., 22Ω) is placed between the output and the capacitive load. Without this resistor, even 15pF causes significant peaking and potential instability. The optimal RISO value scales with load capacitance, ranging from ~20Ω at 15pF to ~30Ω at 100pF, as documented in Maxim's Typical Operating Characteristics.
How does the input common-mode range of the MAX4412EXK+T support single-supply operation?
The MAX4412EXK+T features an extended input common-mode range from VEE − 0.1V to VCC − 1.5V, allowing its inputs to accept signals 100mV below ground (VEE) in single-supply configurations. This ground-sensing capability enables direct interfacing with sensors, DAC outputs, or AC-coupled sources without level-shifting circuitry-critical for preserving signal integrity in low-voltage portable instrumentation using the MAX4412EXK+T.
