The MAX4206ETE+T is a single-channel logarithmic amplifier in a 16-TQFN (4x4 mm) package. It operates from a 2.7 V to 11 V supply span.
5 MHz gain-bandwidth and 12V/µs slew rate — what they mean for your measurement
The 5 MHz gain-bandwidth product sets the upper frequency where the logarithmic transfer function remains accurate. For a log amp, this is not a small-signal bandwidth in the op-amp sense — it defines the maximum frequency of the input signal before the log-conformance error rises. The 12V/µs slew rate ensures the output can track fast input transients without slew-induced distortion; paired with the 5 MHz GBW, this part handles signals up to several hundred kilohertz with acceptable log accuracy.
Lifecycle and sourcing
No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy schedule is in effect. For dual-sourcing or a pin-compatible alternate, there is no official second source listed — the part is unique to Maxim's log amp portfolio.
