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 portable applications. It operates from a single +2.7V to +5.5V supply, delivers 500MHz -3dB bandwidth and 140V/µs slew rate, consumes only 1.7mA supply current per amplifier, and features an input common-mode range extending 100mV below ground - making it suitable for video line driving in battery-powered handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4412EXK-T datasheet, MAX4412EXK-T pinout, MAX4412EXK-T application, or MAX4412EXK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small SC70-5 package, guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing (within 105mV of rails at 1kΩ), low differential gain/phase error (0.01%/0.03°), and stable unity-gain operation without external compensation.
Technical Context
The MAX4412EXK-T employs a bipolar voltage-feedback architecture with internal unity-gain compensation, enabling stable operation without external phase compensation networks. Its output stage uses demand-driven current biasing and internal feedback to maintain low open-loop output impedance (<0.7Ω at 1MHz) across frequency, reducing sensitivity to load variations.
It supports ground-sensing inputs (common-mode range from VEE − 0.1V to VCC − 1.5V) and rail-to-rail outputs, delivering full dynamic range in single-supply systems. Stability with capacitive loads requires an isolation resistor (e.g., 22Ω for ≤15pF), as the device is optimized for AC performance-not highly reactive loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion battery and 3.3V/5V logic systems without level shifting. |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 500MHz -3dB - supports high-fidelity video signal amplification up to NTSC/PAL baseband frequencies with margin. |
| Slew Rate | 140V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transient video edges and RF envelope signals without distortion. |
| Supply Current | 1.7mA per amplifier - allows integration into power-constrained portable instruments without thermal derating. |
| Differential Gain/Phase Error | 0.01% / 0.03° - meets broadcast-grade video line driver requirements for minimal color fidelity loss. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VEE − 0.1V to VCC − 1.5V - permits direct sensing of near-ground signals in single-supply configurations. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 105mV of either rail (RL = 1kΩ) - maximizes usable signal swing in 3.3V/5V systems, enabling >4.6Vp-p output. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX4412EXK-T is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (package code X5-1), measuring 2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.95mm, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and lead-free (Pb-free) construction.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Amplifier output terminal; rail-to-rail capable, drives 1kΩ load to within 105mV of VCC or VEE. |
| 2 | VEE | Negative supply pin (typically ground); reference for input common-mode and output swing. |
| 3 | IN+ | Noninverting input; accepts signals down to VEE − 0.1V, enabling true ground-referenced sensing. |
| 4 | IN− | Inverting input; matched to IN+ for precision closed-loop gain accuracy and CMRR >60dB. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply pin; bypassing with 0.1µF capacitor near this pin is mandatory for high-frequency stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers >95% of full supply voltage swing at 1kΩ load, preserving dynamic range in low-voltage systems. |

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 packaged in 5-pin SOT23 (U5-2); 0.5mm larger footprint than SC70. | Preferred where board assembly uses standard SOT23 pick-and-place tooling or higher thermal dissipation (571mW vs. 247mW) is required. | Select MAX4412EUK-T when SC70 handling constraints or thermal limits preclude MAX4412EXK-T. |
| ADA4891-1ARJZ-R7 | Lower bandwidth (220MHz), higher supply current (6.5mA), same SC70-5 package; rail-to-rail I/O, but no specified differential gain/phase data. | Acceptable for general-purpose high-speed buffering where video fidelity is not critical and higher power budget exists. | Choose ADA4891-1ARJZ-R7 only if MAX4412EXK-T's 500MHz bandwidth and 0.01% video linearity are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX4412EUK-T, the MAX4412EXK-T offers identical performance in a smaller SC70 footprint and lower thermal rating-ideal for space-constrained portable designs. Against ADA4891-1ARJZ-R7, it delivers 2.3× higher bandwidth and 3.8× lower supply current, making it superior for battery-powered video and communications signal chains.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX4412EXK-T?
The MAX4412EXK-T is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This range is validated across all key parameters including supply current, input offset voltage, and bandwidth - ensuring reliable performance in battery-powered handheld devices exposed to ambient environmental variation. The MAX4412EXK-T maintains 500MHz bandwidth and 140V/µs slew rate across this full range.
Does the MAX4412EXK-T require external compensation for unity-gain operation?
No, the MAX4412EXK-T is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and does not require external compensation components. It achieves stable operation with closed-loop gains ≥1 using only the recommended 24Ω feedback resistor in unity-gain configurations. This eliminates layout complexity and parasitic sensitivity associated with external compensation networks - a key advantage confirmed in the MAX4412EXK-T datasheet Figure 3a and Applications Information section.
Can the MAX4412EXK-T drive a 75Ω video load directly?
Yes, the MAX4412EXK-T can drive a 75Ω video load directly when configured as a voltage follower or gain-of-two line driver, provided an isolation resistor (e.g., 22Ω) is placed in series with the output to ensure stability with cable capacitance. Its 140V/µs slew rate, 0.01%/0.03° differential gain/phase error, and rail-to-rail output swing make the MAX4412EXK-T compliant with NTSC/PAL video line driver specifications.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4412EXK-T can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4412EXK-T is characterized to drive up to 120pF without sustained oscillations when properly decoupled and used with an appropriate isolation resistor. For loads exceeding ~15pF, a series isolation resistor (e.g., 22Ω) is mandatory to maintain phase margin - as shown in MAX4412EXK-T Typical Operating Characteristic Figure 2 (RISO vs. CLOAD). Driving coaxial cables or PCB traces without isolation risks peaking and ringing due to reduced phase margin.
Is the MAX4412EXK-T pin-compatible with other op amps in the MAX4412/MAX4413 family?
The MAX4412EXK-T shares identical pinout (SC70-5) with the MAX4412EUK-T (SOT23-5), but is not pin-compatible with dual-channel MAX4413 variants (8-pin SOT23). All MAX4412 variants - including MAX4412EXK-T - use the same 5-pin configuration: OUT, VEE, IN+, IN−, VCC. This consistent pin mapping simplifies design reuse across SC70 and SOT23 package options for the same single-channel function.
