General Description
The MAX4385E/MAX4386E op amps are unity-gain sta-
ble devices that combine high-speed performance,
rail-to-rail outputs, and ±15kV ESD protection. Targeted
for applications where an input or an output is exposed
to the outside world, such as video and communica-
tions, these devices are compliant with International
ESD Standards: ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap
Discharge, ±8kV IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and
the ±15kV Human Body Model.
The MAX4385E/MAX4386E operate from a single 5V
supply with a common-mode input voltage range that
extends beyond VEE. The MAX4385E/MAX4386E con-
sume only 5.5mA of quiescent supply current per
amplifier while achieving a 230MHz -3dB bandwidth,
30MHz 0.1dB gain flatness and a 450V/µs slew rate.

Low-Cost, 230MHz, Single/Quad Op Amps with
Rail-to-Rail Outputs and ±15kV ESD Protection
8_______________________________________________________________________________________
Detailed Description
The MAX4385E/MAX4386E are single/quad, 5V, rail-to-
rail, voltage-feedback amplifiers that employ current-
feedback techniques to achieve 450V/µs slew rates
and 230MHz bandwidths. High ±15kV ESD protection
guards against unexpected discharge. Excellent har-
monic distortion and differential gain/phase perfor-
mance make these amplifiers an ideal choice for a wide
variety of video and RF signal-processing applications.
Applications Information
The output voltage swings to within 50mV of each sup-
ply rail. Local feedback around the output stage
ensures low open-loop output impedance to reduce
gain sensitivity to load variations. The input stage per-
mits common-mode voltages beyond VEE and to within
2.25V of the positive supply rail.
Choosing Resistor Values
Unity-Gain Configuration
The MAX4385E/MAX4386E are internally compensated
for unity gain. When configured for unity gain, a 24Ω
resistor (RF) in series with the feedback path optimizes
AC performance. This resistor improves AC response
by reducing the Q of the parallel LC circuit formed by
the parasitic feedback capacitance and inductance.
Video Line Driver
The MAX4385E/MAX4386E are low-power, voltage-
feedback amplifiers featuring bandwidths up to
230MHz, 0.1dB gain flatness to 30MHz. They are
designed to minimize differential-gain error and differ-
ential-phase error to 0.02% and 0.01°, respectively.
They have a 14ns settling time to 0.1%, 450V/µs slew
rates, and output-current-drive capability of up to
50mA, making them ideal for driving video loads.
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 8pF of amplifier input capaci-
tance and 1pF of PC board capacitance, causes a pole
at 35.4MHz. Since this pole is within the amplifier band-
width, it jeopardizes stability. Reducing the 1kΩresis-
tors to 100Ωextends the pole frequency to 353.8MHz,
but could limit output swing by adding 200Ωin parallel
with the amplifier’s load resistor (Figures 1a
and 1b).
Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing
These amplifiers operate from a single 5V power supply.
Bypass VCC to ground with 0.1µF and 2.2µF capacitors as
close to the pin as possible.
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. Regardless of whether you use a
constant-impedance board, observe the following
design guidelines:
•Do not use wire-wrap boards; they are too inductive.
•Do not use IC sockets; 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 Inputs
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 undergo
phase reversal or latchup.
The output swings to within 50mV of either power-sup-
ply rail with a 2kΩload. The input ground sensing and
the rail-to-rail output substantially increase the dynamic
range. The input can swing 2.95VP-P and the output
can swing 4.9VP-P with minimal distortion.
Output Capacitive Loading and Stability
The MAX4385E/MAX4386E are optimized for AC perfor-
mance and do not drive highly reactive loads, which
decreases phase margin and may produce excessive
ringing and oscillation. Figure 2 shows a circuit that
eliminates this problem. Figure 3 is a graph of the
Optimal Isolation Resistor (RS) vs. Capacitive Load.
Figure 4 shows how a capacitive load causes exces-
sive peaking of the amplifier’s frequency response if
the capacitor is not isolated from the amplifier by a
resistor. A small isolation resistor (usually 10Ωto 15Ω)
placed before the reactive load prevents ringing and
oscillation. At higher capacitive loads, the interaction of
the load capacitance and the isolation resistor controls
the AC performance. Figure 5 shows the effect of a
15Ωisolation resistor on closed-loop response.

ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against ESD
encountered during handling and assembly. Input and
output pins of the MAX4385E/MAX4386E have extra
protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers
have developed state-of-the-art structures enabling
these pins to withstand ESD up to ±15kV without dam-
age when placed in the test circuit (Figure 6). The
MAX4385E/MAX4386E are characterized for protection
to the following limits:
•±15kV using the Human Body Model
•±8kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2
•±15kV using the Air-Gap Discharge method speci-
fied in IEC 1000-4-2
Human Body Model
Figure 7 shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 8
shows the current waveform it generates when dis-
charged into a low impedance. This model consists of a
150pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest,
and then discharged into the test device through a
1.5kΩresistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment; it does not specifi-
cally refer to ICs. The MAX4385E/MAX4386E enable the
design of equipment that meets the highest level (Level
4) of IEC 1000-4-2 without the need for additional ESD
protection components. The major difference between
tests done using the Human Body Model and IEC 1000-
4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 1000-4-2. Because
series resistance is lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model,
the ESD-withstand voltage measured to this standard is
generally lower than that measured using the Human
Body. Figure 10 shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model and
Figure 9 shows the current waveform for the ±8kV IEC
1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD Contact Discharge test. The Air-
Gap test involves approaching the device with a
charged probe. The Contact Discharge method con-
nects the probe to the device before the probe is ener-
gized.
