MAX4444ESE/GG8

Video Amps And Modules Overview

The MAX4444ESE is a high-speed differential-to-single-ended line receiver in a 16-pin Narrow SO package. It features a fixed internal gain of +2V/V, a small-signal bandwidth of 550MHz, and a slew rate of 5000V/µs. Operating from ±4.5V to ±5.5V supplies, it draws 41mA quiescent current, reducing to 3.5mA in disable mode. Key specifications include a common-mode rejection ratio of 55dB, input offset voltage of 15mV, and low noise density of 25nV/√Hz at 100kHz.

Video Amps And Modules Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. The 'ESE' designation corresponds to the 16-pin Narrow SOIC package. Confirm supply voltage requirements match the ±4.5V to ±5.5V operational range. Ensure PCB layout adheres to high-frequency design guidelines, such as using ground planes and minimizing lead inductance, to maintain specified performance metrics.

Video Amps And Modules Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed gain of +2V/V is required for differential signal conversion. The MAX4444 differs from the MAX4445 by having an internally set gain rather than external resistor selection. Consider the 550MHz bandwidth and 5000V/µs slew rate for video and RF applications. Verify that the ±5V dual supply configuration fits the system power architecture.

Video Amps And Modules Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX4444/MAX4445 family of ultra-high-speed, low-distortion differential line receivers. Manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated, these ICs are designed for demanding video and RF signal-processing tasks. The family utilizes current-feedback techniques to achieve high bandwidth while maintaining excellent linearity and low noise performance across the operating temperature range.

Video Amps And Modules Replacement Considerations

The MAX4445ESE serves as a functional alternative within the same series, distinguished by its externally adjustable gain capability via an external resistor. Both devices share identical pinouts, packaging, and core electrical characteristics, differing primarily in gain configuration flexibility.
