The Maxim Integrated MAX2472EUT+T is a single buffer amplifier in a SOT-23-6 package, designed to isolate signal sources from loading effects or to drive capacitive loads in signal chains. The 5.2 mA supply current is modest enough for most portable or line-powered designs, but it is not a micropower part — budget the rail accordingly.
5.2 mA supply current — reading the power budget
At 5.2 mA typical, this buffer draws more than a micropart but less than a full-speed op-amp. In a 3.3 V system that is about 17 mW quiescent — fine for a single channel, but if you are populating eight of them on a dense board, the thermal sum starts to matter in the SOT-23-6 footprint.
SOT-23-6 footprint and layout notes
The SOT-23-6 package (also designated SOT-6 in the supplier device package field) is a common, widely second-sourced footprint. It is a surface-mount part with a 0.95 mm pitch, so standard reflow profiles apply. The small body means thermal dissipation is limited — do not expect this part to sink much heat.
