The differential output is the key feature here — it gives you common-mode rejection on the receive end, which matters when the cable runs past switching supplies or motor drives. The 46 mA supply current is the quiescent draw; add the load current on top of that. Each channel can deliver 130 mA, which is enough to drive a 75 Ω termination to a 2 V swing with headroom. In a 16-SOIC package, the thermal path is through the leads — no exposed pad — so at full output into a heavy load at 85 °C ambient, junction temperature needs a quick calculation. ## Active lifecycle — no end-of-life pressure The ROHS3 compliance is current, so no conflict with EU or similar regulatory requirements. ## What 4300 V/µs and 330 MHz mean for the signal path A 4300 V/µs slew rate means this amplifier can swing its output by several volts in under a nanosecond. For a 2 V peak-to-peak signal, the rise time is about 0.5 ns. That is fast enough to pass a 1080p video signal with negligible slew-induced distortion, or to buffer a high-speed DAC output without rounding off the transitions. The 330 MHz bandwidth is the small-signal -3 dB point; with a large-signal swing the bandwidth will be lower, but still comfortably above the 100 MHz or so that HD video needs. If you are driving a cable, the differential output structure also gives you a natural way to implement a balanced line driver with a single amplifier — no external transformer needed. ## Package and mounting — 16-SOIC, no exposed pad There is no exposed thermal pad, so all heat dissipation goes through the 16 leads into the PCB copper. For a part that can dissipate over 0.5 W at full output, that means the PCB layout should use wide traces on the supply and output pins, and preferably a few vias to an internal ground plane. The shipping medium is Tube, not Tape & Reel, so if your pick-and-place line expects reels, factor in the tube-to-reel transfer or order a reel variant if one exists.","metaTitle":"MAX4448ESE+ Differential Driver Amp, 4300V/µs Slew Rate","metaDescription":"MAX4448ESE+ differential driver amplifier from Maxim Integrated. 4300V/µs slew rate, 330 MHz bandwidth, 130 mA output, ±4.5V to ±5.5V supply.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Logic ICs"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tube","Slew Rate":"4300V/µs","Output Type":"Differential","Applications":"Driver","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","-3db Bandwidth":"330 MHz","Package / Case":"16-SOIC (0.154\\\", 3.90mm Width)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Current - Supply":"46 mA","Number of Circuits":"1","Supplier Device Package":"16-SOIC","Current - Output / Channel":"130 mA","Voltage - Supply, Single/Dual (±)":"±4.5V ~ 5.5V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.64","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$7.64000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$6.90200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$6.58040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$5.71380","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$5.45700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$4.97550","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$4.81500","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/7a689318f43f2a0c4f1d1b98fe4d160f.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the closest alternative to MAX4448ESE+?","answer":"Within the same function — a single-channel differential driver with 4300 V/µs slew rate — the MAX4448 is a fairly unique part.
