MAX4233
High-Output-Drive, 10MHz, 10V/µs, Rail-to-Rail I/O Op Amps with Shutdown in SC70
Maxim Confidential 
MyMaxim SubscriptionsProduct Details
The MAX4230 comes in a tiny 5-pin SC70 package and the MAX4231, single with shutdown, is offered in a 6-pin SC70 package and in 1.5mm x 1.0mm UCSP™ and thin µDFN packages. The dual op-amp MAX4233 offered in the space-saving 10-bump chip-scale package (UCSP), providing the smallest footprint area for a dual op amp with shutdown.
These op amps are designed to be part of the PA control circuitry, biasing RF PAs in wireless headsets. The MAX4231/MAX4233 offer a active-low SHDN feature that drives the output low. This ensures that the RF PA is fully disabled when needed, preventing unconverted signals to the RF antenna.

Description
The MAX4338 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that evaluates the MAX4338 audio amplifier. The MAX4338 EV kit is designed to be driven by the lineout of a CD player or directly connected to any stereo audio source. The MAX4338 EV kit includes RCA jacks on the input and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the output to facilitate easy connections to the circuit board.
This MAX4338 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX4233 high-output-drive, rail-to-rail op amp.
Features
- Capable of Driving a Stereo 32Ω Load
- (POUT = 60mW, VCC = 5V, THD+N = 1%, RL = 32Ω, fIN = 1kHz)
- (POUT = 20mW, VCC = 3V, THD+N = 1%, RL = 32Ω, fIN = 1kHz)
- Single-Supply Operation
- Low 0.1% THD+N (20Hz to 20kHz)
- (VCC = 5V, POUT = 40mW, RL = 32Ω)
- (VCC = 3V, POUT = 17mW, RL = 32Ω)
- Low-Profile Design (2.0mm, max)
- Fully Assembled and Tested Surface-Mount Board
- On-Board Shutdowns
