The MAX4380EXT-T from Maxim Integrated is a high-performance operational amplifier designed for a wide array of applications that require high speed, low power consumption, and space-saving packaging. This operational amplifier is part of a family of ultra-small, low-cost, single/dual/quad, high-speed op amps with rail-to-rail outputs, specifically engineered to operate from a single +2.5V to +5.5V supply or from a ±1.25V to ±2.75V dual supply.

With a wide bandwidth of 210MHz and a slew rate of 600V/μs, the MAX4380EXT-T is ideally suited for video, communication, and portable systems where space and power efficiency are critical. The device features a low differential gain and phase error of 0.02% and 0.06°, respectively, which makes it an excellent choice for video distribution and cable driving applications.

The MAX4380EXT-T comes in a tiny 6-pin SC70 package, which is the smallest package available for such high-frequency op amps. This makes it particularly attractive for space-constrained applications such as portable electronic devices, laptops, and smartphones. Despite its small size, the MAX4380EXT-T does not compromise on performance, offering a low input bias current of 1pA and an output short-circuit current of 80mA.

Additional features include a low quiescent current of 5.5mA, which contributes to the overall power efficiency of the design. The device also has a common-mode input voltage range that extends to the negative supply rail, providing designers with greater flexibility in signal conditioning and buffering applications.

The MAX4380EXT-T operational amplifier is a testament to Maxim Integrated's commitment to providing innovative solutions that meet the demands of modern high-speed signal processing. It is an ideal choice for designers looking for a combination of performance, size, and cost-effectiveness in their applications.
