The MAX4177/MAX4277 are wide-bandwidth, fast-settling
buffer amplifiers featuring high slew rate, high precision,
high output current, and low differential gain and phase
errors. The MAX4177 is preset for unity voltage gain
(0dB), and has a small-signal -3dB bandwidth of 380MHz.
The MAX4277 is preset for a voltage gain of +2 (6dB),
and has a small-signal -3dB bandwidth of 350MHz.

The MAX4177/MAX4277 feature the high slew rate and
low p owe r of c urre nt-mod e fe e d b a c k a mp lifie rs .
However, unlike conventional current-mode feedback
amplifiers, these devices have a unique input stage that
combines the benefits of current-feedback topology
with those of the traditional voltage-feedback topology.
This combination of architectures results in low input
offset voltage and bias current, and high gain precision
and power-supply rejection.

♦ Low Differential Gain and Phase Error: 0.01%/0.01°
♦ High Slew Rate: 1800V/µs (MAX4177)
♦ Low Power: 8mA Quiescent Supply Current
400µA in Shutdown Mode
♦ High-Impedance Output in Shutdown Mode
♦ Low Input Bias Current: 2µA
The MAX4177/MAX4277 are ideally suited for driving
50Ω or 75Ω loads. They are the perfect choice for high-
speed cable-driving applications such as video routing.
In addition, the devices incorporate a shutdown mode
that can be used to disable the output in multiplexer
applications and to conserve power. The MAX4177/
MAX4277 are available in 8-pin DIP, SO and µMAX
packages.
♦ Low Input Offset Voltage: 0.5mV
♦ Low Input-Referred Voltage Noise: 5nV√Hz
♦ High Gain Precision: 1.5% Max with 50Ω Load
♦ High PSRR: 75dB
