General Description
The MAX477 is a ±5V wide-bandwidth, fast-settling,
unity-gain-stable op amp featuring low noise, low differ-
ential gain and phase errors, high slew rate, high preci-
sion, and high output current. The MAX477’s archi-
tecture uses a standard voltage-feedback topology that
can be configured into any desired gain setting, as with
other general-purpose op amps.
Unlike high-speed amplifiers using current-mode feed-
back architectures, the MAX477 has a unique input
stage that combines the benefits of the voltage-feed-
back design (flexibility in choice of feedback resistor,
two high-impedance inputs) with those of the current-
feedback design (high slew rate and full-power band-
width). It also has the precision of voltage-feedback
amplifiers, characterized by low input-offset voltage
and bias current, low noise, and high common-mode
and power-supply rejection.
The MAX477 is ideally suited for driving 50Ω or 75Ω
loads and is available in 8-pin DIP, SO, space-saving
µMAX, and 5-pin SOT23 packages.

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.

Note 1:
Specifications for the MAX477EUK (SOT23 package) are 100% tested at T
A
= +25°C, and guaranteed by design over tem-
perature.
Note 2:
Tested with a 3.58MHz video test signal with an amplitude of 40IRE superimposed on a linear ramp (0 to 100IRE). An IRE is
a unit of video-signal amplitude developed by the Institute of Radio Engineers. 140IRE = 1V.
