The ML6429 is a quad 4th-order Butterworth lowpass
reconstruction filter plus quad video amplifier optimized
for minimum overshoot and flat group delay. Each filter
channel has a two-input multiplexer that switches between
two groups of quad video signals. Applications driving
SCART and EVC cables are supported for composite,
component, and RGB video.
1V
input signals from DACs are AC coupled into the
P-P
ML6429, where they are DC restored. Outputs are AC
coupled, and drive 2V
can be used with DC coupled outputs for certain
applications.
A fifth unfiltered channel is provided to support an
additional analog composite video input. A swapping
multiplexer between the two composite channels allows
the distribution amplifiers to output from either input.
Several ML6429s can be arranged in a master-slave
configuration where an external sync can be used for CV
and RGB outputs.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6429 is a quad monolithic continuous time analog
video filter designed for reconstructing signals from four
video D/A sources. The ML6429 is intended for use in AC
coupled input and output applications.
th
The filters approximate a 4
-order Butterworth
characteristic with an optimization toward low overshoot
and flat group delay. All outputs are capable of driving
2V
into AC coupled 150Ω video loads, with up to 35pF
P-P
of load capacitance at the output pin. Likewise, they are
capable of driving a 75Ω load at 1V
P-P
.
All channels are clamped during sync to establish the
appropriate output voltage swing range. Thus the input
coupling capacitors do not behave according to the
conventional RC time constant. Clamping for all channels
settles within 10ms of a change in video sources.
Input coupling capacitors of 0.1µF are reccommended for
all channels. During sync, a feedback error amplifier
sources/sinks current to restore the DC level. The net result
is that the average input current is zero. Any change in the
input coupling capacitors value will linearly affect the
clamp response times.
The RGB channels have no pulldown current sources and
are essentially tilt-free. The CV channel's inputs sink less
than 1µA during active video, resulting in a tilt of less than
1mV for a 220 µF. Up to 1000µF recommended to reude
tilt for TV applications.

The ML6429 is robust and stable under all stated load and

connected in a master-slave sync configuration. When
using this configuration, only the “master” ML6429 is
required to have a signal with embedded sync present on
the CV

input of the “slave” ML6429, the

SYNCIN AND SYNCOUT PINS
Each ML6429 has two sync detectors which control the
DC restore functions. The filtered channel has its own
detector, which controls the DC restore function during
the horizontal sync period of the CV
/Y1 input. The

other sync detector controls the DC restore functions for
the filtered channels based upon the composite or luma
input at the CV

The SYNCIN pin is an input for an external H-sync logic
signal to enable or disable the internal DC restore loop for
the filtered channels. When SYNCIN is logic high, the DC
restore function is enabled.
For normal operation, the SYNCOUT pin is connected to
the SYNCIN pin (see Figure 4). If the CV
does not have
INU
an embedded sync, an external sync can be applied on
the SYNCIN pin. In master-slave configurations, the
SYNCOUT of a ML6429 master can be used as the
SYNCIN of a ML6429 slave.
VIDEO I/O DESCRIPTION
Each input is driven by either a low impedance source or
the output of a 75Ω terminated line. The input is required
to be AC coupled via a 0.1µF coupling capacitor which
gives a nominal clamping time of 10ms. All outputs are
capable of driving an AC coupled 150Ω load at 2V
1V
into a 75Ω load. At the output pin, up to 35pF of
P-P
P-P
or
load capacitance can be driven without stability or slew
issues. A 220µF AC coupling capacitor is recommended at
the output to reduce power consumption.
ANALOG MULTIPLEXER CONTROL
The four filter channels each have two input multiplexers
which are paired to select between two four-channel
video sources (i.e., composite video plus RGB component
video).
If A/B MUX is forced to logic high, it will select Bank<A>

video inputs (CV

high.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
BASIC APPLICATIONS
The ML6429 provides channels for two banks of inputs for
RGB and composite video. The R and G channels can be
used as luma inputs while the B channel can be used as a
chroma input. Composite outputs and an H-sync output is
also provided. There are several configurations available
with the ML6429. Figure 4 includes a list of basic output
options for composite, S-video, TV modulator, and RGB
outputs. Note that each composite channel can drive a CV
load or a channel modulator simultaneously. The ML6429
standalone can be used as an EVC or SCART cable driver
with nine video sources (75Ω or low impedance buffer)
and seven video outputs. All inputs and outputs are AC
coupled. When driving seven loads, power dissipation
must be measured to ensure that the junction temperature
doesn't exceed 120ºC.
EVC CABLE DRIVING
The ML6429 can be configured to drive composite video,
S-video, and horizontal sync through an EVC connector
(Figure 5). Composite video and S-video inputs are filtered
through 4th-order Butterworth filters and driven through
internal 75Ω cable drivers. A buffered H-sync output is
also available.
SCART CABLE DRIVING
The ML6429 can be configured either as a SCART cable
driver (Figure 4) or as a SCART cable driver and S-video
driver (Figure 6). A horizontal sync output is also available.
Note that the ML6429 can be used in a master-slave mode
where the sync-out from the master is used as the sync-in
of the slave; this allows the CV, S-video, and RGB channels
to operate under the same sync signals.
Note that in SCART applications, it is not always necessary
to AC couple the outputs. Systems using SCART
connectors for RGB and composite video can typically
handle between 0 and 2V DC offset (see DC Coupled
Applications section).
RGB APPLICATIONS
RGB video can be filtered and driven through the
ML6429. For sync suppressed RGB, the sync signal can be
derived from SYNCIN PIN.
OSD (ON-SCREEN DISPLAY) APPLICATIONS
Unfiltered RGB video from an OSD processor needs to be
filtered and then synchronized to a fast blanking interval
or alpha-key signal for later video processing. With the
total filter delay being 80ns ±10ns, a D flip-flop or similar
delay element can be used to delay the fast blanking
interval or alpha-key signal, which synchronizes the RGB
and OSD signals (Figure 9).
CHANNEL MULTIPLEXING
The ML6429 can be configured for multiple composite
channel multiplexing (Figure 8). Composite and RGB
sources such as VCRs, and digital MPEG 2 sources can be
selected using the ML6429 swap mux controls. A/B MUX,
SWAP CVU, and SWAP CVF signals can be used to select
and route from various input sources.
DC COUPLED APPLICATIONS
The 220µF capacitor coupled with the 150Ω termination
forms a highpass filter which blocks the DC while passing
the video frequencies and avoiding tilt. Lower values such
as 10µF would create a problem. By AC coupling, the
average DC level is zero. Thus, the output voltages of all
channels will be centered around zero.
Alternately, DC coupling the output of the ML6429 is
allowable. There are several tradeoffs: The average DC
level on the outputs will be 2V; Each output will dissipate
an additional 40mW nominally; The application will need
to accommodate a 1V DC offset sync tip; And it is
recommended to limit one 75Ω load per output. However,
if two loads are required to be driven at a time on the
composite output while DC coupling is used, then the
swap–mux and 5th line driver can be configured to enable
the filtered composite signal on both the 4th and 5th line
drivers. Thus, the composite load driving requirement is
divided into two line drivers versus one.
Required Setup: A composite or luma or green signal must
be present on CV
necessary sync signals to other channels (R,G,B,Y,C).
Otherwise, sync must be provided at the SYNCIN pin. For
RGB applications, the green channel with sync can be
used as an input to CV
USING THE ML6429 FOR PAL APPLICATIONS
The ML6429 can be optimized for PAL video by adding
frequency peaking to the composite and S-video outputs.
Figure 10 illustrates the use of a additional external
capacitor (300pF), added in parallel to the output source
termination resistor. This raises the frequency response
from 1.0dB down at 4.8MHz (for no peaking cap) to 0.2dB
down at 4.8MHz (for 300 pF), which allows for accurate
reproduction of the upper sideband of the PAL subcarrier.
Figure 11 shows the frequency response of PAL video with
various values of peaking capacitors (0pF, 220pF, 270pF,
300pF) between 0 and 10MHz.
For NTSC applications without the peaking capacitor, the
rejection at 27MHz is 40dB (typical). For PAL applications
with the peaking capacitor, the rejection at 27MHz is
34dB (typical). (Figure 12). The differential group delay is
shown in Figure 13 with and without a peaking capacitor
(0pF, 220pF, 270pF, and 300pF) varies slightly with
capacitance; from 8ns to 13ns.
