MAX9541 Evaluation Kit
Evluates:1/MAX9542
General Description
Features
The MAX9541 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the
MAX9541 quadruple-channel, 2:1 video mux amplifiers
with input sync tip clamps and fixed gain of 2V/V (6dB).
The MAX9541 has integrated lowpass filters that are
optimized for standard-definition video signals such as
composite and RGB. The EV kit features a shutdown
mode to control the device operation. The EV kit fea-
tures a channel-select input to select between two stan-
dard-definition video sources that can each have up to
four video signals. The EV kit operates from a single-
supply voltage of 2.7V to 3.6V.
o 2.7V to 3.6V Single-Supply Operation
o AC-Coupled Video Inputs
o Shutdown Mode
o Channel-Select Input
o Standard 75Ω Input/Output Termination
o Surface-Mount Components
o Lead(Pb)-Free and RoHS Compliant
o Fully Assembled and Tested
The MAX9541 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the
MAX9542, which is similar to the MAX9541 except that
it does not have integrated lowpass filters. To evaluate
the MAX9542, request a free sample with the MAX9541
EV kit and replace U1 with the pin-compatible
MAX9542 IC.
