Product details
Overview
MAX4451EKA+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, 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 single +4.5V to +11V supply or dual ±2.25V to ±5.5V supplies - enabling use in battery-powered surveillance cameras and analog-to-digital converter front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4451EKA+T datasheet, MAX4451EKA+T pinout, MAX4451EKA+T application, or MAX4451EKA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin SOT23 package, 55MHz 0.1dB gain flatness for composite video, low 6.5mA per amplifier quiescent current, and guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation with rail-to-rail output swing within 55mV of each supply rail.
Technical Context
The MAX4451EKA+T employs 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 the negative rail (to VEE − 200mV) and up to VCC − 2.25V, while the output stage uses local feedback to maintain low open-loop output impedance (1.5Ω at 10MHz) and minimize load-dependent gain variation.
This dual op amp is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and requires only a 24Ω series feedback resistor in unity-gain configuration to suppress parasitic LC resonance. It achieves −65dBc SFDR and −63dB THD at 5MHz with 2VP-P output, meeting stringent requirements for NTSC/PAL video line driving and CCD imaging signal chains.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Surveillance Video Systems | Video Line Driver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Driving analog video signals over coaxial cable from IP camera sensors to DVR inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel buffer and driver - one channel for luminance (Y), one for chrominance (C). Use Value: 0.02%/0.08° differential gain/phase error ensures color fidelity over 300m cable runs; rail-to-rail output sustains 1VP-P NTSC signal into 75Ω load. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed voltage follower with 75Ω source termination capability. Use Value: 210MHz bandwidth and 485V/µs slew rate prevent edge rounding on sync pulses; 55mV rail margin avoids clipping on 1VP-P signals. |
| Analog-to-Digital Converter Interface | CCD Imaging Systems |
Use Scenario: Driving multiplexed analog outputs from precision ADCs in portable test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, fast-settling driver between signal conditioner and ADC sample-and-hold input. Use Value: 16ns 0.1% settling time synchronizes with 50MSPS ADC sampling; −63dB THD prevents harmonic aliasing into Nyquist band. |
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-current, low-voltage pixel outputs from interline-transfer CCDs before correlated double sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, wideband transimpedance or voltage gain stage with DC-coupled input.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6702MA/NOPB | Higher 1.7GHz GBW but higher 11.5mA quiescent current; no rail-to-rail output (clips ~1.2V from rails) | Better for RF IF amplification; unsuitable for single-supply 5V video line driving requiring full swing | Select when >1GHz small-signal bandwidth is required and rail-to-rail output is not critical |
| ADA4817-2ARMZ | Lower 1.05GHz GBW but superior 0.9nV/√Hz noise; rail-to-rail output with 105mA drive capability | Better for low-noise photodiode preamps; less optimized for 75Ω video load drive and differential phase specs | Select when ultra-low noise dominates over video-specific distortion metrics and load drive |
Compared with LMH6702MA/NOPB and ADA4817-2ARMZ, the MAX4451EKA+T uniquely balances video-grade distortion performance (0.02%/0.08°), rail-to-rail output in +5V systems, and low 6.5mA per amplifier supply current - making it the most direct fit for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, single-supply video signal routing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MAX4451EKA+T?
The MAX4451EKA+T is specified for continuous operation from −40°C to +85°C. This industrial temperature range is validated across all key AC and DC parameters including bandwidth, slew rate, and differential gain/phase error - ensuring reliable performance in outdoor surveillance enclosures and portable test instruments without derating.
Does the MAX4451EKA+T require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the MAX4451EKA+T is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. However, a 24Ω resistor must be placed in series with the feedback path in unity-gain configurations to dampen parasitic LC resonance caused by board trace inductance and feedback capacitance - a requirement explicitly documented in the MAX4451EKA+T datasheet Figure 1a and Applications Information section.
Can the MAX4451EKA+T drive a 75Ω video load directly?
Yes, the MAX4451EKA+T is characterized to drive 75Ω loads with full performance: typical differential gain/phase error of 0.02%/0.08°, −65dBc SFDR, and 210MHz bandwidth are all measured with RL = 75Ω to VCC/2. The output stage delivers >100mA peak current, supporting standard video line driver configurations without external buffers.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the MAX4451EKA+T?
The MAX4451EKA+T input common-mode voltage range extends from (VEE − 0.2V) to (VCC − 2.25V). In a +5V single-supply configuration (VEE = 0V), this means inputs can swing from −0.2V to +2.75V - enabling true ground-referenced signal handling and compatibility with DC-coupled CCD or sensor outputs without level-shifting circuitry.
Is the MAX4451EKA+T pin-compatible with other dual op amps in SOT23-8 packages?
No documented pin-to-pin compatibility exists between the MAX4451EKA+T and other dual op amps in 8-pin SOT23 packages. Its pinout (OUTA, IN−, IN+, VEE, VCC, INB−, INB+, OUTB) is specific to the MAX4450/MAX4451 family. Substituting alternate parts requires verification of both pin function alignment and AC performance matching - especially for video-critical parameters like differential phase.
