740MHz, Low-Noise, Low-Distortion
Op Amps in SOT23-5
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 op amps
feature ultra-high speed, low noise, and low distortion in
a SOT23 package. The unity-gain-stable MAX4104
requires only 20mA of supply current while delivering
625MHz bandwidth and 400V/µs slew rate. The
MAX4304, compensated for gains of +2V/V or greater,
delivers a 730MHz bandwidth and a 1000V/µs slew
rate. The MAX4105 is compensated for a minimum gain
of +5V/V and delivers a 410MHz bandwidth and a
1400V/sec slew rate. The MAX4305 has +10V/V minimum gain compensation and delivers a 340MHz bandwidth and a 1400V/µs slew rate.
Low voltage noise density of 2.1nV/√Hz and -88dBc
spurious-free dynamic range make these devices ideal
for low-noise/low-distortion video and telecommunications applications. These op amps also feature a wide
output voltage swing of ±3.7V and ±70mA output currentdrive capability. For space-critical applications, they
are available in a miniature 5-pin SOT23 package.
Features
♦ Low 2.1nV/√Hz Voltage Noise Density
♦ Ultra-High 740MHz -3dB Bandwidth (MAX4304,
AVCL = 2V/V)

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 are ultrahigh-speed, low-noise amplifiers featuring -3dB bandwidths up to 880MHz, 0.1dB gain flatness up to
100MHz, and low differential gain and phase errors of
0.01% and 0.01°, respectively. These devices operate
on dual power supplies ranging from ±3.5V to ±5.5V
and require only 20mA of supply current.
The MAX4104/MAX4304/MAX4105/MAX4305 are optimized for minimum closed-loop gains of +1V/V, +2V/V,
+5V/V and +10V/V (respectively) with corresponding
-3dB bandwidths of 880MHz, 730MHz, 430MHz, and
350MHz. Each device in this family features a low input
voltage noise density of only 2.1nV/√Hz (at 1MHz), an
output current drive of ±70mA, and spurious-free
dynamic range as low as -88dBc (5MHz, RL = 100Ω).
___________Applications Information
Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 have an
extremely high 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 or not a constant-impedance
board is used, it is best to observe the following guidelines when designing the board:
1) Do not use wire-wrapped boards (they are much too
inductive) or breadboards (they are much too
capacitive).
2) Do not use IC sockets. IC sockets increase reactances.
3) Keep signal lines as short and straight as possible.
Do not make 90° turns; round all corners.
4) Observe high-frequency bypassing techniques to
maintain the amplifier’s accuracy and stability.
5) Bear in mind that, in general, surface-mount components have shorter bodies and lower parasitic reactance, resulting in greatly improved high-frequency
performance over through-hole components.
The bypass capacitors should include 1nF and 0.1µF
ceramic surface-mount capacitors between each supply pin and the ground plane, located as close to the
package as possible. Optionally, place a 10µF tantalum
capacitor at the power supply pins’ point of entry to the
PC board to ensure the integrity of incoming supplies.
The power-supply trace should lead directly from the
tantalum capacitor to the VCC and VEE pins. To minimize parasitic inductance, keep PC traces short and
use surface-mount components.
Input termination resistors and output back-termination
resistors, if used, should be surface-mount types, and
should be placed as close to the IC pins as possible.
DC and Noise Errors
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 output
offset voltage, VOUT (Figure 1), can be calculated with
the following equation:
VOUT = [VOS + (IB+ x RS) + (IB- x (RF || RG))] [1 + RF / RG]
where:
VOS = input offset voltage (in volts)
1 + RF/RG = amplifier closed-loop gain (dimensionless)
IB+ = noninverting input bias current (in amps)
IB- = inverting input bias current (in amps)
RG = gain-setting resistor (in ohms)
RF = feedback resistor (in ohms)
RS = source resistor at noninverting input (in ohms)

very rapidly during the conversion cycle—a condition
that demands an amplifier with very low output impedance at high frequencies to maintain measurement
accuracy. The combination of high-speed, fast slew
rate, low noise, and low-distortion available in the
MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 makes them
ideally suited for use as buffer amplifiers in high-speed
ADC applications.
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 have a
very low, 2.1nV/√Hz input voltage noise density and
3.1pA/√Hz input current noise density.
An example of DC-error calculations, using the
MAX4304 typical data and the typical operating circuit
with RF = RG = 330Ω (RF || RG = 165Ω) and RS = 50Ω
gives:

With a 200MHz system bandwidth, this calculates to
60.8µVRMS (approximately 365µVp-p, using the sixsigma calculation).
ADC Input Buffers
Input buffer amplifiers can be a source of significant
error in high-speed ADC applications. The input buffer
is usually required to rapidly charge and discharge the
ADC’s input, which is often capacitive. In addition, the
input impedance of a high-speed ADC often changes

Video Line Driver
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 are optimized to drive coaxial transmission lines when the
cable is terminated at both ends, as shown in Figure 2.
To minimize reflections and maximize power transfer,
select the termination resistors to match the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. Cable frequency response can cause variations in the flatness of the
signal.
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 provide
maximum AC performance when driving no output load
capacitance. This is the case when driving a correctly
terminated transmission line (i.e., a back-terminated
cable).
In most amplifier circuits, driving a large load capacitance increases the chance of oscillations occurring.
The amplifier’s output impedance and the load capacitor combine to add a pole and excess phase to the
loop response. If the pole’s frequency is low enough
and phase margin is degraded sufficiently, oscillations
may result.
A second concern when driving capacitive loads originates from the amplifier’s output impedance, which

appears 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 phase margin.
The MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 drive
capacitive loads up to 10pF without oscillation.
However, some peaking may occur in the frequency
domain (Figure 3). To drive larger capacitance loads or
to reduce ringing, add an isolation resistor between the
amplifier’s output and the load (Figure 4).
The value of RISO depends on the circuit’s gain and the
capacitive load (Figure 5). Figure 6 shows the
MAX4104/MAX4105/MAX4304/MAX4305 frequency
response with the isolation resistor and a capacitive
load. With higher capacitive values, bandwidth is dominated by the RC network formed by RISO and CL; the
bandwidth of the amplifier itself is much higher. Also
note that the isolation resistor forms a divider that
decreases the voltage delivered to the load.
Maxim’s High-Speed Evaluation Boards
The MAX4104 evaluation kit manual shows a suggested layout for Maxim’s high-speed, single-amplifier evaluation boards. This board was developed using the
techniques described previously ( see Layout and
Power-Supply Bypassing section). The smallest available surface-mount resistors were used for the feedback and back-termination resistors to minimize the

SMA connectors were used for best high-frequency
performance. Because distances are extremely short,
performance is unaffected by the fact that inputs and
outputs do not match a 50Ω line. However, in applications that require lead lengths greater than 1/4 of the
wavelength of the highest frequency of interest,
constant-impedance traces should be used.
Fully assembled evaluation boards are available for the
MAX4104 in an 8-pin SO package.
