Product details
Overview
MAX4450EXK-T from Maxim Integrated is a single, unity-gain-stable, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for high-speed video and instrumentation signal conditioning. It delivers 210MHz -3dB bandwidth, 485V/µs slew rate, and 0.02%/0.08° differential gain/phase error while operating from a +4.5V to +11V single supply. Its ultra-small SC70-5 package and ground-sensing input make it ideal for space-constrained, low-voltage video line drivers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4450EXK-T datasheet, MAX4450EXK-T pinout, MAX4450EXK-T application, or MAX4450EXK-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 55MHz 0.1dB gain flatness for NTSC/PAL video fidelity, low 10nV/√Hz input voltage noise, rail-to-rail output swing within 55mV of both rails, and verified performance driving 75Ω coaxial loads in surveillance and set-top box systems.
Technical Context
The MAX4450EXK-T employs a voltage-feedback architecture enhanced with current-feedback techniques to achieve wide bandwidth and fast transient response. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages extending beyond VEE (to –0.2V) and up to VCC – 2.25V, enabling true ground-sensing operation in single-supply configurations.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, it requires only a 24Ω feedback resistor in unity-gain mode to suppress parasitic LC resonance. Output stage local feedback ensures low open-loop output impedance (1.5Ω at 10MHz), minimizing gain sensitivity to load variations across video-frequency bands.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3201DRBT | Higher 1.8GHz GBW but 12mA IQ; no rail-to-rail output; SO-8 only | Used in RF IF gain blocks where output swing >4V not required | Select when >1GHz small-signal bandwidth is mandatory and power budget allows doubling IQ |
| ADA4817-1ARMZ | 1GHz GBW, 200V/µs slew, 3.5mA IQ, rail-to-rail output; MSOP-8 | Favored in precision instrumentation requiring lower noise (4nV/√Hz) and better DC specs | Choose for mixed-signal systems needing superior DC accuracy alongside high-speed AC performance |
Compared with THS3201DRBT and ADA4817-1ARMZ, the MAX4450EXK-T uniquely balances 210MHz bandwidth, rail-to-rail output, 6.5mA quiescent current, and SC70-5 footprint-making it the only option meeting all four constraints for compact, low-power video line driving.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4450EXK-T can drive without oscillation?
The MAX4450EXK-T is not optimized for direct capacitive loading. Driving >10pF without isolation causes peaking and instability. A 20Ω–30Ω series isolation resistor (RS) is required-e.g., 27Ω supports up to 120pF while maintaining ≤3dB gain flatness to 100MHz. This is validated in Figure 5 of the MAX4450EXK-T datasheet.
Does the MAX4450EXK-T support dual-supply operation?
Yes, the MAX4450EXK-T operates from ±2.25V to ±5.5V dual supplies in addition to +4.5V to +11V single supply. Input common-mode range extends to VEE – 0.2V and VCC – 2.25V under both configurations, and rail-to-rail output swing remains functional with symmetric supplies.
What is the typical differential phase error of the MAX4450EXK-T in NTSC video applications?
The MAX4450EXK-T achieves a typical differential phase error of 0.08° into 150Ω at NTSC frequencies, as measured per standard video test conditions (RL = 150Ω, f = 3.58MHz). This value is guaranteed by design and confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics table of the MAX4450EXK-T datasheet.
Can the MAX4450EXK-T be used in a noninverting gain-of-5 configuration?
Yes-the MAX4450EXK-T is unity-gain stable and supports noninverting gains up to at least +10V/V. For gain-of-5, use RF = 49.9Ω and RG = 12.4Ω (per Table 1), with 24Ω recommended for RF in unity-gain mode. Bandwidth reduces to ~50MHz, verified in Figure 23 of the MAX4450EXK-T datasheet.
Is the MAX4450EXK-T pin-compatible with other SC70-5 op amps like the MAX4470?
No-pinout differs significantly. The MAX4450EXK-T uses VEE (Pin 1), IN– (Pin 2), IN+ (Pin 3), OUT (Pin 4), VCC (Pin 5). The MAX4470 uses VCC (Pin 1), IN+ (Pin 2), IN– (Pin 3), OUT (Pin 4), GND (Pin 5). Direct replacement would require PCB redesign; always verify pin mapping using the MAX4450EXK-T Pin Description table.
