MAX476

The MAX476 is a wide bandwidth, fast settling, unitygain-stable op amp featuring low noise, low differential gain and phase errors, high slew rate, high precision,and high output current. The device architecture 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 feedback architectures, the MAX476 has a unique input stage that combines the benefits of the voltage-feedback design (flexibility in choice of feedback resistor,two high-impedance inputs) with those of the currentfeedback design. It also has the precision of voltagefeedback amplifiers, characterized by low input-offset voltage and bias current, low noise, and high commonmode and power-supply rejection.

The MAX476 is ideally suited for driving 50 or 75 loads. In addition, the device incorporates a highspeed shutdown mode to disable the output in multiplexed applications and to conserve power. Packages include 8-pin DIP, SO, and MAX.
