MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190
General Description
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 are low-power,
current-feedback video amplifiers featuring fast disable/enable times and low switching transients. The
triple MAX4188 and the single MAX4190 are optimized
for applications with closed-loop gains of +2V/V (6dB)
or greater and provide a -3dB bandwidth of 200MHz
and 185MHz, respectively. The triple MAX4189 is optimized for closed-loop applications with gains of +1V/V
(0dB) or greater and provides a 250MHz -3dB bandwidth. These amplifiers feature 0.1dB gain flatness up to
80MHz with differential gain and phase errors of 0.03%
and 0.05°. These features make the MAX4188 family
ideal for video applications.
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 operate from a +5V
single supply or from ±2.25V to ±5.5V dual supplies.
These amplifiers consume only 1.5mA per amplifier and
are capable of delivering ±55mA of output current, making
them ideal for portable and battery-powered equipment.
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 have a high-speed
disable/enable mode that isolates the inputs, places the
outputs in a high-impedance state, and reduces the
supply current to 450µA per amplifier. Each amplifier
can be disabled independently. High off isolation, low
switching transient, and fast enable/disable times
(120ns/35ns) allow these amplifiers to be used in a
wide range of multiplexer applications. A settling time
of 22ns to 0.1%, a slew rate of up to 350V/µs, and low
distortion make these devices useful in many generalpurpose, high-speed applications.

Detailed Description
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 are very low-power,
current-feedback amplifiers featuring bandwidths up to
250MHz, 0.1dB gain flatness to 80MHz, and low differential gain (0.03%) and phase (0.05°) errors. These
amplifiers achieve very high bandwidth-to-power ratios
while maintaining low distortion, wide signal swing, and
excellent load-driving capabilities. They are optimized
for ±5V supplies but are also fully specified for single
+5V operation. Consuming only 1.5mA per amplifier,
these devices have ±55mA output current drive capability and achieve low distortion even while driving 150Ω
loads.
Wide bandwidth, low power, low differential phase/gain
error, and excellent gain flatness make the MAX4188
family ideal for use in portable video equipment such
as video cameras, video switchers, and other batterypowered equipment. Their two-stage design provides
higher gain and lower distortion than conventional single-stage, current-feedback amplifiers. This feature,
combined with a fast settling time, makes these devices
suitable for buffering high-speed analog-to-digital converters.
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 have a high-speed,
low-power disable mode that is activated by driving the
amplifiers’ DISABLE input low. In the disable mode, the

Pin Descriptions
MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190
Single/Triple, Low-Glitch, 250MHz, CurrentFeedback Amplifiers with High-Speed Disable
amplifiers achieve very high isolation from input to output
(65dB at 10MHz), and the outputs are placed into a highimpedance state. These amplifiers achieve low switching-transient glitches (<45mVp-p) when switching
between enable and disable modes. Fast enable/disable
times (120ns/35ns), along with high off-isolation and low
switching transients, allow these devices to be used as
high-performance, high-speed multiplexers. This is
achieved by connecting the outputs of multiple amplifiers
together and controlling the DISABLE inputs to enable
one amplifier and disable all others. The disabled amplifiers present a very light load (1µA leakage current and
3.5pF capacitance) to the active amplifier’s output. The
feedback network impedance of all the disabled amplifiers must still be considered when calculating the total
load on the active amplifier output. Figure 1 shows an
application circuit using the MAX4188 as a 3:1 video multiplexer.
The DISABLE_ logic threshold is typically VCC - 2.5V,
independent of VEE. For a single +5V supply or dual
±5V supplies, the disable inputs are CMOS-logic compatible. The amplifiers default to the enabled mode if
the DISABLE pin is left unconnected. If the DISABLE
pin is left floating, take proper care to ensure that no
high-frequency signals are coupled to this pin, as this
may cause false triggering.

At low gains, G x RIN < RF. Therefore, the closed-loop
bandwidth is essentially independent of closed-loop

Applications Information
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 are current-feedback
amplifiers, and their open-loop transfer function is
expressed as a transimpedance, ∆VOUT/∆IIN, or TZ. The
frequency behavior of the open-loop transimpedance is
similar to the open-loop gain of a voltage-mode 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 2,
yields the following transfer function:
-5V

Single/Triple, Low-Glitch, 250MHz, CurrentFeedback Amplifiers with High-Speed Disable
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 achieve a high
degree of off-isolation (65dB at 10MHz) and low
crosstalk (-55dB at 10MHz). The input and output signal traces must be kept from overlapping to achieve
high off-isolation. Coupling between the signal traces of
different channels will degrade crosstalk. The signal
traces of each channel should be kept from overlapping with the signal traces of the other channels.
Adequate bypass capacitance at each supply is very
important to optimize the high-frequency performance of
these amplifiers. Inadequate bypassing will also
degrade crosstalk rejection, especially with heavier
loads. Use a 1µF capacitor in parallel with a 0.01µF to
0.1µF capacitor between each supply pin and ground to
achieve optimum performance. The bypass capacitors
should be located as close to the device as possible. A
10µF low-ESR tantalum capacitor may be required to
produce the best settling time and lowest distortion
when large transient currents must be delivered to a
load.
Choosing Feedback and Gain Resistors
The optimum value of the external-feedback (RF) and
gain-setting (RG) resistors used with the MAX4188/
MAX4189/MAX4190 depends on the closed-loop gain
and the application circuit’s load. Table 1 lists the optimum resistor values for some specific gain configurations. One-percent resistor values are preferred to
maintain consistency over a wide range of production
lots. Figures 3a and 3b show the standard inverting
and noninverting configurations. Note that the noninverting circuit gain (Figure 3b) is 1 plus the magnitude
of the inverting closed-loop gain. Otherwise, the two
circuits are identical.

MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190
Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing
As with all wideband amplifiers, a carefully laid out
printed circuit board and adequate power-supply
bypassing are essential to realizing the optimum AC
performance of MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190. The PC
board should have at least two layers. Signal and
power should be on one layer. A large low-impedance
ground plane, as free of voids as possible, should be
the other layer. With multilayer boards, locate the
ground plane on a layer that incorporates no signal or
power traces.
Do not use wire-wrap boards or breadboards and
sockets. Wire-wrap boards are too inductive.
Breadboards and sockets are too capacitive. Surfacemount components have lower parasitic inductance
and capacitance, and are therefore preferable to
through-hole components. Keep lines as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance, and avoid 90°
turns. Round all corners. Terminate all unused amplifier
inputs to ground with a 100Ω or 150Ω resistor.

DC and Noise Errors
Several major error sources must be considered in any
op amp. These apply equally to the MAX4188/
MAX4189/MAX4190. Offset-error terms are given by the
equation below. Voltage and current-noise errors are
root-square summed and are therefore computed separately. In Figure 4, the total output offset voltage is
determined by the following factors:
• The input offset voltage (VOS) times the closed-loop
gain (1 = RF / RG).
• The positive input bias current (I B+ ) times the
source resistor (RS) (usually 50Ω or 75Ω), plus the
negative input bias current (IB-) times the parallel
combination of R G and R F . In current-feedback
amplifiers, the input bias currents at the IN+ and INterminals do not track each other and may have
opposite polarity, so there is no benefit to matching
the resistance at both inputs.

The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 have a very low,
2nV/√Hz noise voltage. The current noise at the positive
input (in+) is 4pA/√Hz, and the current noise at the
inverting input is 5pA/√Hz.
An example of the DC error calculations, using the
MAX4188 typical data and typical operating circuit
where R F = R G = 560kΩ (R F || R G =280Ω), and
RS = 37.5Ω, gives the following:

The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 are well suited to
drive coaxial transmission lines when the cable is terminated at both ends (Figure 5). Cable frequency
response can cause variations in the signal’s flatness.
See Table 1 for optimum RF and RG values.
Driving Capacitive Loads
The MAX4188/MAX4189/MAX4190 are optimized for
AC performance. Reactive loads decrease phase margin and may produce excessive ringing and oscillation.
Unlike most high-speed amplifiers, the MAX4188/
MAX4189/MAX4190 are tolerant of capacitive loads up
to 50pF. Capacitive loads greater than 50pF may
cause ringing and oscillation. Figure 6a shows a circuit
that eliminates this problem. Placing the small (usually
15Ω to 33Ω) isolation resistor, RS, before the reactive
load prevents ringing and oscillation. At higher capacitive loads, the interaction of the load capacitance and
isolation resistor controls AC performance. Figures 6b
and 6c show the MAX4188 and MAX4189 frequency
response with a 100pF capacitive load. Note that in
each case, gain peaking is substantially reduced when
the 20Ω resistor is used to isolate the capacitive load
from the amplifier output.
