The MAX4214EUK+T comes in a SOT-23-5 package (SC-74A), a 5-lead surface-mount footprint that fits standard 0.95 mm pitch layouts. The small body — roughly 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm — suits dense mixed-signal boards where a single buffer is needed without dedicating a larger SOIC or MSOP. The 5.5 mA quiescent current is moderate for a 230 MHz buffer — expect the thermal rise in still air to be negligible at room temperature.
Slew rate and bandwidth — what they mean for signal integrity
Paired with 230 MHz -3 dB bandwidth, this buffer handles video-rate signals, high-speed ADC front-ends, or transmission-line driving where the load capacitance would otherwise roll off a slower amplifier. The 120 mA output current per channel gives enough drive to charge a 50 pF load at 230 MHz without excessive slew limiting.
Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, covering industrial-grade environments. No AEC-Q automotive qualification is cited, so this is not a first-choice part for under-hood or chassis-domain designs.
