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.

The MAX4142 differential line driver combines highspeed performance with fully symmetrical differential inputs and outputs. With an internally set +2V/V closedloop gain, the MAX4142 is ideal for driving backterminated cables and transmission lines.

This device utilizes laser-trimmed thin-film resistors and common-mode cancellation circuitry to deliver an outstanding 67dB at 10MHz common-mode rejection (CMR). Using current-feedback techniques, the MAX4142 achieves a 250MHz -3dB (A_V = +2V/V) bandwidth, a 70MHz 0.1dB bandwidth, and a 1400V/s slew rate. Excellent differential gain/phase error and noise specifications make this amplifier an excellent choice for a wide variety of video and RF signal-processing applications.

The MAX4142 operates from ±5V power supplies and requires only 12.5mA of quiescent current. The output stage is capable of driving a 100 load to ±6V (differentially) or to ±3V (single-ended). The MAX4142 is available in a space-saving 14-pin SO package. For a pin-compatible, higher speed differential line driver, see the MAX4147 data sheet.
