MAX4159ESD

Video Amps And Modules Overview

The MAX4159ESD is a wideband, 2-channel, noninverting video amplifier with input multiplexing, capable of driving ±2.5V signals into 50Ω or 75Ω loads. It operates from ±5V supplies and features address latching and high-impedance output disabling for large switching arrays. The device offers a 350MHz -3dB bandwidth, 700V/µs slew rate, and 20ns channel-switching time. It provides excellent video specifications including 0.01%/0.01° differential gain/phase errors and low 2pF input capacitance.

Video Amps And Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESD' corresponds to the 14-pin SO package configuration. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets the required environmental conditions for the target application. Ensure supply voltages remain within the specified ±5V limits to maintain optimal performance and prevent damage.

Video Amps And Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel video switching with addressable control is required. It is suitable for designs needing high bandwidth and low distortion. Consider the MAX4158 if output disabling is not needed. Verify feedback resistor values to optimize bandwidth and stability for the specific gain configuration.

Video Amps And Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX4158/MAX4159/MAX4258/MAX4259 family of 350MHz/250MHz, 2-channel video multiplexer-amplifiers manufactured by Maxim Integrated. These devices are designed for broadcast and graphics video systems, offering current-mode feedback architecture for high-speed operation.

Video Amps And Modules Replacement Considerations

MAX4158ESA: Identical functionality but lacks address latching and output disable features.

Video Amps And Modules FAQ

What is the purpose of the EN pin on the MAX4159?

The EN pin controls the output state. When held high, it places the amplifier output in a high-impedance state, allowing multiple devices to be paralleled without interference.

How does the MAX4159 handle input voltage ranges?

The guaranteed input voltage range is ±2.5V. Exceeding this limit may cause unpredictable results, including output clipping or excessive input current.
