Product details
Overview
MAX4453EKA from Maxim Integrated is a dual, unity-gain stable, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-power, high-speed signal conditioning. It delivers 200MHz -3dB bandwidth, 95V/µs slew rate, and 20ns rise/fall times while consuming only 620µA per amplifier on a +2.7V to +5.25V single supply - enabling wideband analog front-ends in battery-powered cellular handsets and keyless entry receivers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4453EKA datasheet, MAX4453EKA pinout, MAX4453EKA application, or MAX4453EKA equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOT23-8 package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in baseband signal chains, and validated alternative op-amps with documented gain-bandwidth and quiescent current trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX4453EKA employs voltage-feedback architecture with internal compensation for stable unity-gain operation. Its bipolar process enables high slew rate (95V/µs) and low input bias current (0.8–3µA), while rail-to-rail output swing (within 180mV of rails at 1kΩ load) supports full dynamic range in single-supply systems.
It features ground-sensing inputs (common-mode range from VEE − 0.1V to VCC − 1.5V), 30MΩ input resistance, and 120kΩ differential input resistance - making it suitable for high-impedance sensor buffering and ADC driver applications where DC accuracy and AC fidelity must coexist.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| -3dB Bandwidth | 200MHz - supports RF IF sampling and wideband active filtering up to 15MHz without gain peaking. |
| Slew Rate | 95V/µs - enables clean 2Vpp output steps with ≤20ns rise/fall time, critical for fast-settling ADC buffers. |
| Supply Current | 620µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel operation under 1.25mA total, ideal for multi-stage portable signal chains. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.4–12mV - ensures <±10mV error in precision gain stages without external trimming. |
| Output Swing | Within 180mV of rails (VCC/VEE) at 1kΩ - maximizes usable signal headroom in 3.3V systems. |
| Input Noise Density | 15nV/√Hz at 10kHz - maintains SNR integrity in baseband amplification before ADC digitization. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 60–100dB - suppresses supply ripple and shared-noise coupling in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
MAX4453EKA is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178 compliant), measuring 2.80mm × 2.90mm × 1.30mm with gull-wing leads. This ultra-small outline supports high-density portable PCB layouts while maintaining thermal performance up to +85°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - rail-to-rail capable, drives 1kΩ loads with <180mV saturation margin. |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input of Amplifier A - differential input resistance 120kΩ, common-mode range extends to VEE − 0.1V. |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier A - high-impedance node (30MΩ), sensitive to layout parasitics above 100MHz. |
| 4 | VEE | Negative power supply - tied to ground in single-supply operation; must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 5 | VCC | Positive power supply - accepts +2.7V to +5.25V; requires local 0.1µF bypass near pin. |
| 6 | INB− | Inverting input of Amplifier B - electrically isolated from INA−; crosstalk <−74dB at 1MHz. |
| 7 | INB+ | Noninverting input of Amplifier B - matched offset voltage ±1mV relative to INA+ for dual-channel tracking. |
| 8 | OUTB | Amplifier B output - identical AC/DC specs to OUTA; enables independent dual-path signal processing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full 3.3Vpp output from 3.3V supply, eliminating level-shifting circuitry in portable designs. |
| Unity-gain stability | Operates stably at AV = +1 without external compensation, simplifying inverting/noninverting buffer design. |
| Low 620µA quiescent current | Enables always-on signal monitoring in keyless entry receivers with <2.5µA standby system impact per channel. |
| 200MHz bandwidth at 620µA | Achieves 323MHz/mA speed/power ratio - highest among dual op-amps in SOT23-8 footprint. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6612MMX/NOPB | Higher 1.6mA supply current, 720MHz GBW, but not unity-gain stable - requires minimum +5V/V gain. | Preferred for higher-gain active filters (>5V/V) where bandwidth >300MHz is required. | Select when system gain ≥5V/V and power budget allows >1.2× current draw per channel. |
| ADA4891-2ARZ | Lower 1.2mA supply current, 225MHz GBW, unity-gain stable, but rail-to-rail input not supported - input range limited to VEE + 0.1V. | Suitable for 3.3V systems with mid-supply referenced inputs, e.g., DAC output buffers. | Choose when input signals are centered at VCC/2 and rail-to-rail input is unnecessary. |
Compared with LMH6612MMX/NOPB and ADA4891-2ARZ, the MAX4453EKA uniquely balances 200MHz bandwidth, unity-gain stability, rail-to-rail output, and sub-1mA quiescent current in an 8-pin SOT23 - making it optimal for dual-channel, battery-constrained, wideband signal paths where input common-mode flexibility and minimal external components are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4453EKA can drive without instability?
The MAX4453EKA is not optimized for highly reactive loads. Driving >22pF directly may cause ringing or oscillation due to phase margin degradation. For capacitive loads exceeding 22pF, Maxim recommends inserting a series isolation resistor (RISO) between the output and load - values range from 10Ω to 30Ω depending on capacitance, as shown in Figure 2 of the MAX4453EKA datasheet. This technique restores stability while preserving bandwidth.
Does the MAX4453EKA support true rail-to-rail input operation?
No, the MAX4453EKA does not feature rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range is specified from (VEE − 0.1V) to (VCC − 1.5V). At VCC = 3.3V, this means inputs must stay within 0.1V to 1.8V - excluding the top 1.5V near VCC. However, its ground-sensing capability (down to VEE − 0.1V) makes it well-suited for single-supply sensor interfaces where low-side signal capture is essential.
Can the MAX4453EKA operate from a 2.5V supply?
No, the MAX4453EKA has a minimum operating supply voltage of +2.7V as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.7V is not guaranteed - parameters such as bandwidth, slew rate, and output swing degrade outside the 2.7V–5.25V range. For 2.5V systems, consider the MAX4472 or similar lower-voltage alternatives.
What is the typical input offset voltage matching between the two amplifiers in the MAX4453EKA?
The MAX4453EKA specifies input offset voltage matching of ±1mV between its two amplifiers (Amplifier A and Amplifier B) across temperature. This tight matching enables precise dual-path signal processing - such as I/Q channel balancing in direct-conversion receivers - without requiring per-channel calibration or trimming resistors.
Is the MAX4453EKA pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX445x/MAX435x family?
Yes, all 8-pin variants in the MAX4453/MAX4353 series - including MAX4453EKA (SOT23-8), MAX4453EZA (Thin SOT23-8), and MAX4453ESA (SO-8) - share identical pinouts per the Pin Configurations diagram on page 14 of the datasheet. However, MAX4353 variants are compensated for minimum +5V/V gain and are not unity-gain stable, so they are not functionally interchangeable without circuit redesign.
