________________General Description
____________________________Features
MAX4144:
The MAX4144/MAX4145/MAX4146 differential line
receivers offer unparalleled high-speed, low-distortion
performance. Using a three op-amp instrumentation
amplifier architecture, these ICs have fully symmetrical
differential inputs and a single-ended output. They
operate from ±5ꢀ power supplies and are capaꢁle of
driving a 150Ω load to ±±.ꢂꢀ. The MAX4144 has an
internally set closed-loop gain of +2ꢀ/ꢀ. The MAX4145
is optimized for gains from +1ꢀ/ꢀ to +10ꢀ/ꢀ, while the
MAX4146 is optimized for gains from +10ꢀ/ꢀ to
+100ꢀ/ꢀ. The MAX4145/MAX4146 require a single
external resistor to set the closed-loop gain.
♦ +2V/V Internally Fixed Gain
♦ 130MHz Bandwidth
♦ 1000V/μs Slew Rate
♦ 70dB CMR at 10MHz
♦ -90dBc SFDR (f = 10kHz)
♦ Low Differential Gain/Phase: 0.03%/0.03°
♦ 800μA Shutdown
MAX4145:
These amplifiers use laser-trimmed, matched thin-film
resistors to deliver a common-mode rejection (CMR) of
up to 90dB at 10MHz. Using current-feedꢁack tech-
niques, the MAX4144 achieves a 1±0MHz ꢁandwidth
and a 1000ꢀ/µs slew rate. The MAX4145 achieves a
ꢁandwidth of 180MHz and a slew rate of 600ꢀ/µs while
operating with a closed-loop gain of +1ꢀ/ꢀ, and the
MAX4146 features a ꢁandwidth of ꢂ0MHz and a slew
rate of 800ꢀ/µs with a gain of +10ꢀ/ꢀ. Excellent differ-
ential gain/phase and noise specifications make these
amplifiers ideal for a wide variety of video and RF
signal-processing applications.
♦ External Gain Selection from +1V/V to +10V/V
♦ 180MHz Bandwidth
♦ 90MHz 0.1dB Gain Flatness
♦ 600V/μs Slew Rate
♦ 75dB CMR at 10MHz
♦ -92dBc SFDR (f = 10kHz)
♦ Very Low Noise: 3.8nV/√Hz (G = +10V/V)
♦ 800μA Shutdown
For a complete differential transmission link, use the
MAX4144/MAX4145/MAX4146 with the MAX414ꢂ differ-
ential line driver (see the MAX414ꢂ data sheet for more
information).
