It delivers a 4 MHz gain-bandwidth product with a 0.1 V/µs slew rate, draws only 37 µA supply current, and provides a rail-to-rail output stage. Housed in a SOT-23-5 package, it is designed for surface-mount assembly on space-constrained boards.
The 37 µA supply current places this part firmly in the micropower category, making it a candidate for battery-powered or energy-harvesting applications where every microamp matters. The 4 MHz GBP supports small-signal gains up to a few hundred kHz before the open-loop rolloff limits performance; the 0.1 V/µs slew rate means large-signal output swings will be slower — expect about 0.3 µs per volt of output step. For a 3.3 V rail, a full-scale step settles in roughly 10 µs. The rail-to-rail output lets the signal swing close to both supply rails, useful in single-supply systems.
Package and footprint reality
The MAX4074AOEUK comes in a SC-74A / SOT-753 case, which maps to the common SOT-23-5 footprint. The supplier device package is SOT-23-5, a five-pin small-outline transistor package. If your pick-and-place line expects reeled parts, confirm the packing option or plan for tube feeding. The surface-mount profile is standard for SOT-23; no special moisture sensitivity level is stated, but assume MSL 1 unless the reel label says otherwise.
RoHS status — a critical BOM flag
If your assembly process requires lead-free solder and RoHS exemption documentation, this part will not pass standard compliance checks. For legacy repairs or military/aerospace builds where leaded solder is acceptable, this is not a blocker.
