Product details
Overview
MAX4453EKA+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, unity-gain stable, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-power, high-speed signal conditioning in single-supply systems. It delivers 200MHz -3dB bandwidth, 95V/µs slew rate, and consumes only 620µA per amplifier at +5V supply - enabling wideband baseband amplification in portable communications and keyless entry receivers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4453EKA+T datasheet, MAX4453EKA+T pinout, MAX4453EKA+T application, or MAX4453EKA+T equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, SOT23-8 package layout, real-world use cases in ADC buffering and active filters, and validated alternative op amps with documented gain-bandwidth and supply current trade-offs.
Technical Context
The MAX4453EKA+T employs voltage-feedback architecture with internal unity-gain compensation, supporting stable operation down to AVCL = +1V/V. Its bipolar process enables fast large-signal response (20ns rise/fall) and low distortion (–79dBc SFDR at 1MHz), while rail-to-rail output swing (within 180mV of rails into 1kΩ) maximizes dynamic range in 2.7V–5.25V systems.
Input common-mode range extends from VEE – 0.1V to VCC – 1.5V, enabling ground-sensing capability without phase reversal. Output stage uses demand-driven current biasing to maintain low open-loop output impedance (<0.8Ω at 1MHz), ensuring consistent gain across varying load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (-3dB) | 200MHz - supports RF/IF baseband amplification up to cellular band edges without attenuation |
| Slew Rate | 95V/µs - enables clean 2Vpp pulse reproduction with ≤20ns edge fidelity |
| Supply Current | 620µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel operation under 1.25mA total, critical for battery runtime |
| Supply Voltage | +2.7V to +5.25V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V logic, and 5V legacy rails without level shifting |
| Output Swing | Within 180mV of rails (1kΩ load) - preserves >95% of full-scale ADC input range |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.4mV typical - minimizes DC error in precision sensor signal chains |

Pinout & Package
MAX4453EKA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178 compliant), measuring 2.80mm × 2.90mm × 1.30mm, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 marked by a dot. This ultra-small outline supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output - drives loads up to 22mA sourcing/sinking; requires isolation resistor for >22pF capacitive loads |
| 2 | INA− | Inverting input of Amp A - high-impedance node (30MΩ); sensitive to PCB parasitics above 10MHz |
| 3 | INA+ | Noninverting input of Amp A - common-mode range includes ground, enabling single-supply sensor interfacing |
| 4 | VEE | Negative supply (typically GND) - must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply (2.7V–5.25V) - shared power rail for both amplifiers; decoupling critical for AC performance |
| 6 | INB− | Inverting input of Amp B - electrically isolated from Amp A; crosstalk <–74dB at 1MHz |
| 7 | INB+ | Noninverting input of Amp B - identical input specs to INA+, enabling matched dual-channel designs |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise preamplifier boosting weak antenna signals prior to envelope detection. Use Value: 15nV/√Hz input voltage noise and 620µA quiescent current enable reliable 10m reception on coin-cell batteries. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual, rail-to-rail, high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4453ESA+ | SO-8 package (4.9mm × 6.0mm); higher thermal resistance (5.9mW/°C derating) | Better for prototyping and manual soldering; unsuitable for ultra-compact wearables | Select when board space permits larger footprint and thermal management is less constrained |
| AD8062ARZ | Higher supply current (12.5mA per amp); 320MHz bandwidth; not unity-gain stable | Requires external compensation for gain <10; better for fixed-gain IF amplification than buffering | Choose when bandwidth >300MHz is mandatory and power budget allows >24× higher current draw |
Compared with MAX4453ESA+ and AD8062ARZ, the MAX4453EKA+T uniquely balances 200MHz bandwidth, unity-gain stability, and sub-1mA total supply current in a 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-powered signal chains where size and efficiency are co-primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for MAX4453EKA+T?
The MAX4453EKA+T operates from a single supply of +2.7V to +5.25V. This range accommodates standard Li-ion battery voltages (3.0V–4.2V), 3.3V logic rails, and legacy 5V systems without external regulation. Operation outside this range risks permanent damage, as absolute maximum supply voltage is +6V.
Is MAX4453EKA+T unity-gain stable, and what configuration is recommended for best AC performance?
Yes, MAX4453EKA+T is internally compensated for unity-gain stability. For optimal AC response in unity-gain follower configurations, a 24Ω feedback resistor is recommended between output and inverting input to dampen parasitic LC resonance caused by PCB traces and input capacitance.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX4453EKA+T can drive directly without oscillation?
The MAX4453EKA+T is characterized to drive up to 22pF capacitive load directly while maintaining stability. For loads exceeding 22pF, an isolation resistor (RISO) must be placed in series with the output - values range from ~10Ω to 30Ω depending on load capacitance, per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
How does the input common-mode voltage range of MAX4453EKA+T support ground-referenced sensors?
The MAX4453EKA+T features a ground-sensing input with common-mode range extending down to VEE – 0.1V (i.e., –0.1V when VEE = GND). This allows direct connection of 0V-referenced sensors (e.g., thermistors, bridge outputs) without level-shifting circuitry, while maintaining >60dB CMRR across the usable range.
What is the typical input offset voltage matching between the two amplifiers in MAX4453EKA+T?
The MAX4453EKA+T specifies ±1mV input offset voltage matching between its dual amplifiers. This tight matching enables accurate differential signal processing, such as I/Q channel balancing in RF receivers, where mismatch-induced DC offsets would degrade image rejection ratio.
