Preliminary Data
Video Switch for Dual SCART Connectors
General Description
Features
♦ 4-Channel Video Filter/Buffer for RGB and CVBS
The MAX7457 4-channel video switch is ideal for anti-
aliasing and DAC-smoothing video applications or wher-
ever analog video is reconstructed from a digital data
stream such as cable/satellite/terrestrial set-top boxes
(STBs), DVD players, hard disk recorders (HDRs), and
personal video recorders (PVRs). The MAX7457 filters
and buffers CVBS and RGB video signals, making it
ideal for dual SCART (peritelevision) STBs with an auxil-
lary CVBS input. The MAX7457 operates from a single
+5V supply and has a flat passband out to 5MHz with a
stopband attenuation of 43dB at 27MHz, making it ideal
for NTSC, PAL, and standard-definition digital TV (SDTV)
video systems.
Signals with Auxiliary Input
♦ Allows Auxiliary Input for CVBS Video Loop-
Through Applications
♦ Filter Response Ideal for NTSC, PAL, and
Interlaced SDTV Video Signals
♦ 43dB (typ) Stopband Attenuation at 27MHz
♦ ±0.75dB (max) Passband Ripple Out to 5MHz
♦ Blanking Level Voltage on Cable <1V
♦ Each Channel Drives Two 150Ω Video Loads
♦ +5V Single-Supply Operation
The MAX7457 output buffers have a fixed gain of +6dB
and are capable of driving two standard 150Ω video
loads. The channel for CVBS video has high-frequency
boost circuitry that enhances picture sharpness with up
to +1.2dB of gain boost without degradation in the
stopband. The video output drivers can be disabled by
an external control input.
♦ Available in 5mm x 5mm x 0.8mm, 16-Pin TQFN
