6500V/µs, Wideband, High-Output-Current, Single-
Ended-to-Differential Line Drivers with Enable
General Description
The MAX4447/MAX4448/MAX4449 single-ended-to-
differential line drivers are designed for high-speed
communications. Using current feedback for greater
bandwidth, these devices deliver full-power bandwidths
up to 405MHz and feature slew rates as high as
6500V/µs. The MAX4447 has a fixed gain of +2V/V and
a small-signal bandwidth of 430MHz. The MAX4448/
MAX4449 have small-signal bandwidths of 330MHz
and 400MHz, respectively, and are internally compen-
sated for minimum gain configurations of +2V/V and
+5V/V, respectively. For greater design flexibility, the
MAX4448/MAX4449 allow for variable gain selection
using external gain-setting resistors. A low-power
enable mode reduces current consumption below 5.5mA
and places the outputs in a high-impedance state.
The MAX4447/MAX4448/MAX4449 can deliver differen-
tial output swings of ±6.2V from ±5V supplies with a
50Ω load. Excellent differential gain/phase and noise
specifications make these amplifiers ideal for a wide
variety of video and RF signal-processing and transmis-
sion applications.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
