Product details
Overview
MAX448ACPD-2 from Maxim Integrated is a quad high-speed operational amplifier optimized for video-range signal amplification and fast data conversion systems. It delivers 100MHz gain bandwidth, ±0.1% settling in 150ns, and 90V/µs slew rate, with full-power bandwidth of 4.8MHz at 6Vp-p. Designed for driving 75Ω back-terminated video lines at 5Vp-p, it supports precision signal conditioning in test equipment and waveform generation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX448ACPD-2 datasheet, MAX448ACPD-2 pinout, MAX448ACPD-2 application, or MAX448ACPD-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±0.1% settling time, quad-channel crosstalk >90dB, trimmable offset voltage, and operation from ±4V supplies - all validated across 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX448ACPD-2 employs internally compensated architecture stable for non-inverting gains ≥3 (50°–60° phase margin), eliminating external compensation components. Its input stage features low 35nA offset current and trimmable offset voltage, enabling high-accuracy DC-coupled signal conditioning.
Each of its four independent amplifiers drives capacitive loads up to 50pF while maintaining stability, supported by short-circuit protection and wide input common-mode range (within 1.5V of V+ and 0.5V of V−). The device operates from ±4V to ±6V supplies and exhibits 12µVRMS input voltage noise over 10Hz–100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 100MHz - enables stable unity-gain-stable operation only at ≥3× non-inverting gain; supports wideband analog filtering up to ~30MHz closed-loop. |
| Settling Time (±0.1%) | 150ns - ensures accurate sampling in 10-bit+ ADC driver stages with minimal acquisition error. |
| Slew Rate | 90V/µs - sustains 6Vp-p output at 4.8MHz full-power bandwidth without distortion. |
| Input Offset Current | 35nA - minimizes DC error in high-impedance sensor interfaces and transimpedance configurations. |
| Output Drive Capability | Drives 75Ω transmission lines at 5Vp-p - directly interfaces with standard video distribution infrastructure without external buffers. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4V to ±6V - compatible with legacy ±5V analog subsystems and allows headroom for rail-to-rail signal swing. |
| Crosstalk (Amp-to-Amp) | >90dB - prevents inter-channel interference in multi-channel data acquisition and video multiplexing. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6644MA/NOPB | Higher 130MHz GBW but lower 10V/µs slew rate; no internal offset trim; 2.7V–12.6V single-supply only. | Not suitable for ±5V legacy video systems; requires redesign of biasing and power rails. | Prefer when designing new single-supply systems needing wider bandwidth but tolerating slower slewing and fixed offset. |
| AD8044ARZ | 160MHz GBW, 160V/µs slew rate, but higher 1.8nA input bias current and no trimmable offset; specified for −40°C to +85°C. | Superior dynamic performance but less suited for precision DC-coupled signal conditioning due to higher IB and untrimmed VOS. | Choose for high-speed, AC-coupled applications like RF IF amplification where offset drift is irrelevant. |
Compared with LMH6644MA/NOPB and AD8044ARZ, the MAX448ACPD-2 offers unique value in legacy ±5V video and test systems requiring guaranteed ±0.1% settling, trimmable offset, and proven 75Ω drive capability - features not replicated in either alternative without circuit redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX448ACPD-2?
The MAX448ACPD-2 is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and applies to all electrical specifications unless otherwise noted. The 'AC' suffix explicitly denotes the 0°C to +70°C grade, and the 'PD' package code confirms the 14-pin plastic DIP variant. All AC-characterized parameters - including 150ns settling time and 100MHz gain bandwidth - are guaranteed across this full range.
Does MAX448ACPD-2 support single-supply operation?
The MAX448ACPD-2 is specified for dual-supply operation from ±4V to ±6V and does not support true single-supply use. Its input common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of V+ and 0.5V of V−, meaning with a +5V/0V rail it would only accept inputs from 0.5V to 3.5V - insufficient for rail-to-rail input. The datasheet provides no single-supply characterization data, and all AC performance metrics (e.g., 90V/µs slew rate, 150ns settling) assume symmetric ±5V supplies.
Is MAX448ACPD-2 pin-compatible with other MAX448 variants?
Yes, MAX448ACPD-2 is pin-compatible with all 14-pin MAX448 variants including MAX448CPD, MAX448ACSD, and MAX448CSD. The pin configuration diagram explicitly shows identical terminal assignments for all 14-pin DIP and SO packages. Differences are limited to temperature grade ('C' vs 'AC') and package type ('PD' = plastic DIP, 'SD' = small outline), with no functional or pinout variation between them.
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX448ACPD-2 can drive stably?
The MAX448ACPD-2 is characterized for stable operation with up to 50pF capacitive load when driving into 2kΩ, as shown in Figures 13 and 14 of the datasheet. With heavier loads (e.g., 50pF + 2kΩ), peaking occurs near 88MHz, but remains bounded. For 150Ω loads, stability is maintained up to 5pF. Driving 75Ω video lines (typically ≤100pF total capacitance) requires external series termination or careful layout - the device itself is not unconditionally stable into arbitrary capacitance.
Why is MAX448ACPD-2 marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
MAX448ACPD-2 is marked "Not Recommended for New Designs" because it was manufactured using a wafer process that Maxim no longer supports. While the datasheet remains valid for existing designs and the part is still available through authorized distributors and Aetrix Electronics, Maxim advises new projects to evaluate replacements like the MAX4426 or industry alternatives. This status reflects manufacturing discontinuance, not functional obsolescence - all published specifications remain guaranteed for units in stock.
