_______________General Description
The MAX4014/MAX4017/MAX4019/MAX4022 are preci-
sion, closed-loop, gain of +2 (or -1) buffers featuring
high slew rates, high output current drive, and low dif-
ferential gain and phase errors. These single-supply
devices operate from +3.15V to +11V, or from ±1.575V
to ±5.5V dual supplies. The input voltage range extends
100mV beyond the negative supply rail and the outputs
swing Rail-to-Rail®.
These devices require only 5.5mA of quiescent supply
current while achieving a 200MHz -3dB bandwidth and
a 600V/µs slew rate. In addition, the MAX4019 has a
disable feature that reduces the supply current to
400µA. Input voltage noise for these parts is only
10nV/Hz and input current noise is only 1.3pA/Hz.
This buffer family is ideal for low-power/low-voltage
applications that require wide bandwidth, such as
video, communications, and instrumentation systems.
For space-sensitive applications, the MAX4014 comes
in a tiny 5-pin SOT23 package.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX4014/MAX4017/MAX4019/MAX4022 are sin-
gle-supply, rail-to-rail output, voltage-feedback, closed-
loop buffers that employ current-feedback techniques
to achieve 600V/µs slew rates and 200MHz band-
widths. These buffers use internal 500resistors to
provide a preset closed-loop gain of +2V/V in the non-
inverting configuration or -1V/V in the inverting configu-
ration. Excellent harmonic distortion and differential
gain/phase performance make these buffers an ideal
choice for a wide variety of video and RF signal-pro-
cessing applications.
Local feedback around the buffer’s output stage
ensures low output impedance, which reduces gain
sensitivity to load variations. This feedback also pro-
duces demand-driven current bias to the output tran-
sistors for ±120mA drive capability, while constraining
total supply current to less than 7mA.
__________Applications Information
Power Supplies
These devices operate from a single +3.15V to +11V
power supply or from dual supplies of ±1.575V to
±5.5V. For single-supply operation, bypass the VCC pin
to ground with a 0.1µF capacitor as close to the pin as
possible. If operating with dual supplies, bypass each
supply with a 0.1µF capacitor.
Selecting Gain Configuration
Each buffer in the MAX4014 family can be configured
for a voltage gain of +2V/V or -1V/V. For a gain of
+2V/V, ground the inverting terminal. Use the noninvert-
ing terminal as the signal input of the buffer (Figure 1a).
Grounding the noninverting terminal and using the
inverting terminal as the signal input configures the
buffer for a gain of -1V/V (Figure 1b).
Since the inverting input exhibits a 500input imped-
ance, terminate the input with a 56resistor when the
device is configured for an inverting gain in 50appli-
cations (terminate with 88in 75applications).
Terminate the input with a 49.9resistor in the nonin-
verting case. Output terminating resistors should direct-
ly match cable impedances in either configuration.
Layout Techniques
Maxim recommends using microstrip and stripline tech-
niques to obtain full bandwidth. To ensure that the PC
board does not degrade the buffer’s performance, design
it for a frequency greater than 1GHz. Pay careful attention
to inputs and outputs to avoid large parasitic capaci-
tance. Whether or not you use a constant-impedance
board, observe the following guidelines when designing
the board:
Don’t use wire-wrapped boards. They are too inductive.
Don’t use IC sockets. They increase parasitic capac-
itance and inductance.
Use surface-mount instead of through-hole compon-
ents 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.

Input Voltage Range and Output Swing
The input range for the MAX4014 family extends from
(VEE - 100mV) to (VCC - 2.25V). Input ground sensing
increases the dynamic range for single-supply applica-
tions. The outputs drive a 2kload to within 60mV of
the power-suply rails. With heavier loads, the output
swing is reduced as shown in the Electrical Character-
istics and the Typical Operating Characteristics. As the
load increases, the input range is effectively limited by
the output-drive capability, since the buffers have a
fixed voltage gain of +2 or -1.
For example, a 50load can typically be driven from
40mV above VEE to 1.6V below VCC, or 40mV to 3.4V
when operating from a single +5V supply. If the buffer is
operated in the noninverting, gain of +2 configuration
with the inverting input grounded, the effective input
voltage range becomes 20mV to 1.7V, instead of the
-100mV to 2.75V indicated by the Electrical Character-
istics. Beyond the effective input range, the buffer out-
put is a nonlinear function of the input, but it will not
undergo phase reversal or latchup.
Enable
The MAX4019 has an enable feature (EN_) that allows
the buffer to be placed in a low-power state. When the
buffers are disabled, the supply current will not exceed
550µA per buffer.
As the voltage at the EN_ pin approaches the negative
supply rail, the EN_ input current rises. Figure 2 shows
a graph of EN_ input current versus EN_ pin voltage.
Figure 3 shows the addition of an optional resistor in
series with the EN pin, to limit the magnitude of the cur-
rent increase. Figure 4 displays the resulting EN pin
input current to voltage relationship.

Disabled Output Resistance
The MAX4014/MAX4017/MAX4019/MAX4022 include
internal protection circuitry that prevents damage to the
precision input stage from large differential input volt-
ages, as shown in Figure 5. This protection circuitry con-
sists of five back-to-back Schottky diodes between IN_+
and IN_-. These diodes lower the disabled output resis-
tance from 1kto 500when the output voltage is 3V
greater or less than the voltage at IN_+. Under these
conditions, the input protection diodes will be forward
biased, lowering the disabled output resistance to 500.
Output Capacitive Loading and Stability
The MAX4014/MAX4017/MAX4019/MAX4022 provide
maximum AC performance with no load capacitance.
This is the case when the load is a properly terminated
transmission line. However, they are designed to drive
up 25pF of load capacitance without oscillating, but
with reduced AC performance.
Driving large capacitive loads increases the chance of
oscillations occurring in most amplifier circuits. This is
especially true for circuits with high loop gains, such as
voltage followers. The buffer’s output resistance and
the load capacitor combine to add a pole and excess
phase to the loop response. If the frequency of this
pole is low enough to interfere with the loop response
and degrade phase margin sufficiently, oscillations can
occur.
A second problem when driving capacitive loads
results from the amplifier’s output impedance, which
looks inductive at high frequencies. This inductance
forms an L-C resonant circuit with the capacitive load,
which causes peaking in the frequency response and
degrades the amplifier’s gain margin.
Figure 6 shows the frequency response of the MAX4014/
MAX4017/MAX4019/MAX4022 under different capacitive
loads. To drive loads with greater than 25pF of capaci-
tance or to settle out some of the peaking, the output
requires an isolation resistor like the one shown in

Figure 7. Figure 8 is a graph of the optimal isolation resis-
tor versus load capacitance. Figure 9 shows the frequen-
cy response of the MAX4014/MAX4017/MAX4019/
MAX4022 when driving capacitive loads with a 27isola-
tion resistor.
Coaxial cables and other transmission lines are easily dri-
ven when properly terminated at both ends with their
characteristic impedance. Driving back-terminated trans-
mission lines essentially eliminates the lines’ capacitance.
