General Description
The MAX4212/MAX4213 single, MAX4216 dual,
MAX4218 triple, and MAX4220 quad op amps are
unity-gain-stable devices that combine high-speed per-
formance with Rail-to-Rail®outputs. The MAX4213/
MAX4218 have a disable feature that reduces power-
supply current to 400µA and places the outputs into a
high-impedance state. These devices operate from a
3.3V to 10V single supply or from ±1.65V to ±5V dual
supplies. The common-mode input voltage range
extends beyond the negative power-supply rail (ground
in single-supply applications).
These devices require only 5.5mA of quiescent supply
current while achieving a 300MHz -3dB bandwidth and
a 600V/µs slew rate. Input-voltage noise is only
10nV/√Hz and input-current noise is only 1.3pA/√Hz for
either the inverting or noninverting input. These parts
are an excellent solution in low-power/low-voltage sys-
tems that require wide bandwidth, such as video, com-
munications, and instrumentation. In addition, when
disabled, their high-output impedance makes them
ideal for multiplexing applications.
The MAX4212 comes in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 pack-
age, while the MAX4213/MAX4216 come in 8-pin µMAX
and SO packages. The MAX4218/MAX4220 are available
in space-saving 16-pin QSOP and 14-pin SO packages.

MAX4212/MAX4213/MAX4216/MAX4218/MAX4220
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX4212/MAX4213/MAX4216/MAX4218/MAX4220
are single-supply, rail-to-rail, voltage-feedback ampli-
fiers that employ current-feedback techniques to
achieve 600V/µs slew rates and 300MHz bandwidths.
Excellent harmonic distortion and differential gain/
phase performance make these amplifiers an ideal
choice for a wide variety of video and RF signal-
processing applications.
The output voltage swing comes to within 50mV of each
supply rail. Local feedback around the output stage
assures low open-loop output impedance to reduce
gain sensitivity to load variations. This feedback also
produces demand-driven current bias to the output
transistors for ±100mA drive capability, while constrain-
ing total supply current to less than 7mA. The input
stage permits common-mode voltages beyond the nega-
tive supply and to within 2.25V of the positive supply rail.
__________Applications Information
Choosing Resistor Values
Unity-Gain Configuration
The MAX4212/MAX4213/MAX4216/MAX4218/MAX4220
are internally compensated for unity gain. When config-
ured for unity gain, the devices require a 24Ωresistor
(RF) in series with the feedback path. This resistor
improves AC response by reducing the Q of the parallel
LC circuit formed by the parasitic feedback capaci-
tance and inductance.
Inverting and Noninverting Configurations
Select the gain-setting feedback (RF) and input (RG)
resistor values to fit your application. Large resistor val-
ues increase voltage noise and interact with the amplifi-
er’s input and PC board capacitance. This can
generate undesirable poles and zeros and decrease
bandwidth or cause oscillations. For example, a nonin-
verting gain-of-two configuration (RF= RG) using 1kΩ
resistors, combined with 1pF of amplifier input capaci-
tance and 1pF of PC board capacitance, causes a pole
at 159MHz. Since this pole is within the amplifier band-
width, it jeopardizes stability. Reducing the 1kΩresis-
tors to 100Ωextends the pole frequency to 1.59GHz,
but could limit output swing by adding 200Ωin parallel
with the amplifier’s load resistor. Table 1 shows sug-
gested feedback, gain resistors, and bandwidth for
several gain values in the configurations shown in
Figures 1a and 1b.
Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing
These amplifiers operate from a single 3.3V to 11V power
supply or from dual supplies to ±5.5V. For single-supply
operation, bypass VCC to ground with a 0.1µF capacitor
as close to the pin as possible. If operating with dual sup-
plies, bypass each supply with a 0.1µF capacitor.

Maxim recommends using microstrip and stripline tech-
niques to obtain full bandwidth. To ensure that the PC
board does not degrade the amplifier’s performance,
design it for a frequency greater than 1GHz. Pay care-
ful attention to inputs and outputs to avoid large para-
sitic capacitance. Whether or not you use a constant-
impedance board, observe the following guidelines
when designing the board:
•Don’t use wire-wrap boards because they are too
inductive.
•Don’t use IC sockets because they increase parasitic
capacitance and inductance.
•Use surface-mount instead of through-hole compo-
nents for better high-frequency performance.
•Use a PC board with at least two layers; it should be
as free from voids as possible.
•Keep signal lines as short and as straight as possi-
ble. Do not make 90°turns; round all corners.
Rail-to-Rail Outputs,
Ground-Sensing Input
The input common-mode range extends from
(VEE - 200mV) to (VCC - 2.25V) with excellent common-
mode rejection. Beyond this range, the amplifier output
is a nonlinear function of the input, but does not under-
go phase reversal or latchup.
The output swings to within 50mV of either power-
supply rail with a 10kΩload. The input ground-sensing
and the rail-to-rail output substantially increase the
dynamic range. With a symmetric input in a single 5V
application, the input can swing 2.95VP-P, and the out-
put can swing 4.9VP-P with minimal distortion.
Enable Input and Disabled Output
The enable feature (EN_) allows the amplifier to be
placed in a low-power, high-output-impedance state.
Typically, the EN_ logic low input current (IIL) is small.
However, as the EN voltage (VIL) approaches the nega-
tive supply rail, IIL increases (Figure 2). A single resis-
tor connected as shown in Figure 3 prevents the rise in
the logic-low input current. This resistor provides a
feedback mechanism that increases VIL as the logic
input is brought to VEE. Figure 4 shows the resulting
input current (IIL).
When the MAX4213/MAX4218 are disabled, the amplifi-
er’s output impedance is 35kΩ. This high resistance
and the low 2pF output capacitance make these parts
ideal in RF/video multiplexer or switch applications. For
larger arrays, pay careful attention to capacitive load-
ing. See the Output Capacitive Loading and Stability
section for more information.

Output Capacitive Loading and Stability
The MAX4212/MAX4213/MAX4216/MAX4218/MAX4220
are optimized for AC performance. They are not
designed to drive highly reactive loads, which de-
creases phase margin and may produce excessive
ringing and oscillation. Figure 5 shows a circuit that
eliminates this problem. Figure 6 is a graph of the opti-
mal isolation resistor (RS) vs. capacitive load. Figure 7
shows how a capacitive load causes excessive peak-
ing of the amplifier’s frequency response if the capaci-
tor is not isolated from the amplifier by a resistor. A
small isolation resistor (usually 20Ωto 30Ω) placed
before the reactive load prevents ringing and oscilla-
tion. At higher capacitive loads, AC performance is
controlled by the interaction of the load capacitance
and the isolation resistor. Figure 8 shows the effect of a
27Ωisolation resistor on closed-loop response.
Coaxial cable and other transmission lines are easily
driven when properly terminated at both ends with their
characteristic impedance. Driving back-terminated
transmission lines essentially eliminates the line’s
capacitance.
