MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120
_______________General Description
The single MAX4112/MAX4113, dual MAX4117/
MAX4118, and quad MAX4119/MAX4120 current feedback amplifiers combine high-speed performance with
low-power operation. The MAX4112/MAX4117/
MAX4119 are optimized for closed-loop gains of 2V/V
or greater, while the MAX4113/MAX4118/MAX4120 are
optimized for gains of 8V/V or greater.
The MAX4112/MAX4117/MAX4119 and the MAX4113/
MAX4118/MAX4120 require only 5mA of supply current
per channel, and deliver 0.1dB gain flatness up to 115MHz
and -3db bandwidths of 400MHz (AV ≥ 2V/V) and 300MHz
(AV ≥ 8V/V), respectively. Their high slew rates of up to
1800V/µs provide exceptional full-power bandwidths up
to 280MHz, making these amplifiers ideal for high-performance pulse and RGB video applications.
These high-speed op amps have a wide output voltage
swing of ±3.5V into 100Ω and a high current-drive
capability of 80mA.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: The MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120 are designed to operate in a closed-loop configuration in which the IN- pin is
driven by the OUT pin through an external feedback network. If an external voltage source is connected to IN-, current into
or out of IN- must be limited to ±10mA, to prevent damage to the part.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX4112/MAX4117/MAX4119 are optimized for
closed-loop gains (AVCL) of 2V/V or greater, while the
MAX4113/MAX4118/MAX4120 are optimized for
closed-loop gains of 8V/V or greater. These low-power,
high-speed, current feedback amplifiers operate from
±5V supplies. They are designed to drive video loads
with low distortion characteristics. The MAX4112/
MAX4117/MAX4119’s differential gain and phase are
0.02% and 0.03°, respectively; the MAX4113/
MAX4118/MAX4120 exhibit gain/phase error specifications of 0.02% and 0.04°, respectively. These characteristics, plus a wide 0.1dB gain flatness, make the
MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120 ideal for use

__________Applications Information
Theory of Operation
Since these devices are current-feedback amplifiers,
their open-loop transfer function is expressed as a
transimpedance, ∆VOUT/∆IIN, or ZOL. The frequency
behavior of the open-loop transimpedance is similar to
the open-loop gain of a voltage feedback amplifier.
That is, it has a large DC value and decreases at
approximately 6dB per octave.
Analyzing the follower with gain, as shown in Figure 1,
yields the following transfer function:
ZOL(S)
VOUT
= Gx
VIN
ZOL(S) + G x (RIN + RF )
where G = AVCL = 1 + (RF / RG), and RIN = 1 /gM ≅ 30Ω.

At low gains, G x RIN << RF. Therefore, the closed-loop
bandwidth is essentially independent of closed-loop
gain. Similarly, ZOL >> RF at low frequencies, so that:

Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing
The MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120 have an
RF bandwidth and consequently require careful board
layout, including the possible use of constant-impedance
microstrip or stripline techniques.
To realize the full AC performance of these high-speed
amplifiers, pay careful attention to power-supply
bypassing and board layout. The PC board should
have at least two layers: a signal and power layer on
one side, and a large, low-impedance ground plane on
the other side. The ground plane should be as free of
voids as possible. With multilayer boards, locate the
ground plane on a layer that incorporates no signal or
power traces.
Regardless of whether a constant-impedance board is
used, observe the following guidelines when designing
the board. Wire-wrapped boards are much too inductive, and breadboards are much too capacitive; neither
should be used. IC sockets increase parasitic capacitance and inductance, and should not be used. In general, surface-mount components give better highfrequency performance than through-hole components.
They have shorter leads and lower parasitic reactances. Keep lines as short and as straight as possible.
Do not make 90° turns; round all corners.
Observe high-frequency bypassing techniques to
maintain the amplifier’s accuracy. The bypass capacitors should include a 1000pF ceramic capacitor
between each supply pin and the ground plane, located as close to the package as possible. Next, place a

0.01µF to 0.1µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with each
1000pF capacitor, and as close to them as possible.
Then place a 10µF to 15µF low-ESR tantalum at the
point of entry (to the PC board) of the power-supply
pins. The power-supply trace should lead directly from
the tantalum capacitor to the V CC and VEE pins. To
minimize parasitic inductance, keep PC traces short
and use surface-mount components.

Choosing Feedback and Gain Resistors
The MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120 are current feedback amplifiers. Increasing feedback resistor
values will decrease peaking. Use the input resistor
(RG) to change the magnitude of the gain. Figure 2
shows the standard inverting and noninverting configurations. Notice that the gain of the noninverting circuit
(Figure 2b) is 1 plus the magnitude of the inverting
closed-loop gain (Table 1).
DC and Noise Errors
There are several major error sources to consider in
any operational amplifier. These apply equally to the
MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120. Offset-error
terms are given by the equation below. Voltage and
current-noise errors are root-square summed and
therefore computed separately. In Figure 3, the total
output offset voltage is determined by:
a) The input offset voltage (VOS) times the closed-loop
gain (1 + (RF / RG)).
b) The positive input bias current (IB+) times the source
resistor (RS) (usually 50Ω or 75Ω), plus the negative
input bias current (IB-) times the parallel combination
of RG and RF. In current-mode feedback amplifiers,
the input bias currents may flow into or out of the
device. For this reason, there is no benefit to matching the resistance at both inputs.
The equation for total DC error is:
 R 
VOUT = (IB+ )RS + (IB− ) RF || RG + VOS 1+ F 
 RG 

The MAX4112/MAX4117/MAX4119 have a very low,
2nV/√Hz noise voltage. The current noise at the positive
input (in+) is 13pA/√Hz, and the current noise at the
inverting input (in-) is 14pA/√Hz.

With a 200MHz system bandwidth, this calculates to

Resistor Types
Surface-mount resistors are the best choice for highfrequency circuits. They are of similar material to metalfilm resistors, but are deposited using a thick-film
process in a flat, linear manner that minimizes inductance. Their small size and lack of leads also minimizes
parasitic inductance and capacitance, yielding more
predictable performance.
Metal-film resistors with leads are manufactured using
a thin-film process where resistive material is deposited
in a spiral layer around a ceramic rod. Although the
materials used are noninductive, the spiral winding presents a small inductance (about 5nH) that may have an
adverse effect on high-frequency circuits.
Carbon-composition resistors with leads are manufactured by pouring the resistor material into a mold. This
process yields relatively low-inductance resistors that
are very useful in high-frequency applications, although
they tend to cost more and have more thermal noise
than other types. The ability of carbon-composition
resistors to self-heal after a large current overload
makes them useful in high-power RF applications.
For general-purpose use, surface-mount metal-film
resistors seem to have the best overall performance for
low cost, low inductance, and low noise.
Video Line Driver
The MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120 are optimized (gain flatness) to drive coaxial transmission lines
when the cable is terminated at both ends, as shown in
Figure 4. Cable frequency response can cause variations in the flatness of the signal.

GAIN (dB)
The MAX4112/MAX4113/MAX4117–MAX4120 are optimized for AC performance. They are not designed to
drive highly capacitive loads. Reactive loads decrease
phase margin and can produce excessive ringing and
oscillation. Figure 5a shows a circuit that eliminates this
problem. The small (usually 5Ω to 22Ω) isolation resistor, RS, placed before the reactive load prevents ringing and oscillation. At higher capacitive loads, AC
performance is controlled by the interaction of the load
capacitance and isolation resistor.
