MAX4186ESD+

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The MAX4186ESD+ is a quad current-feedback amplifier in a 14-pin SOIC package. It operates from dual supplies of ±2.25V to ±5.5V or a single +5V supply, drawing 1mA per amplifier. Optimized for closed-loop gains of +2 (6dB) or greater, it provides a -3dB bandwidth of 240MHz and a 0.1dB bandwidth of 70MHz. Key performance metrics include a 450V/µs slew rate, 20ns settling time to 0.1%, and excellent video specifications with 0.08% differential gain error.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESD+' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact pinout, temperature range, and RoHS compliance status. Confirm that the 14-pin SOIC package matches the design requirements. Check for availability as this component may be subject to lifecycle changes.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select the MAX4186ESD+ when a quad configuration is required for gain levels of +2 or higher. Ensure the application supports the specified supply voltage range. Consider the 14-pin SOIC footprint during PCB layout. Verify thermal dissipation capabilities if operating at elevated temperatures within the -40°C to +85°C range.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX4180 family of current-feedback amplifiers, which combines high-speed performance with low distortion. The family includes single, dual, and quad variants with different compensation settings for various gain configurations. The MAX4186 specifically targets applications requiring four channels with gain stability at higher closed-loop gains.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Replacement Considerations

Other members of the MAX4180 family, such as the MAX4187, offer similar performance but are compensated for unity gain (+1V/V) applications instead of gain +2. Verify that the alternative part number meets the specific bandwidth and gain flatness requirements of the original design.
