General Description
The MAX4090 3V/5V, 6dB video buffer with sync-tip
clamp, and low-power shutdown mode is available in
tiny SOT23, SC70, and µDFN packages. The MAX4090
is designed to drive DC-coupled, 150Ω back-terminated
video loads in portable video applications such as digital still cams, portable DVD players, digital camcorders,
PDAs, video-enabled cell phones, portable game systems, and notebook computers. The input clamp positions the video waveform at the output and allows the
MAX4090 to be used as a DC-coupled output driver.
The MAX4090 operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 6.5mA of supply current. The
low-power shutdown mode reduces the supply current
to 150nA, making the MAX4090 ideal for low-voltage,
battery-powered video applications.
The MAX4090 is available in tiny 6-pin SOT23, SC70,
and µDFN packages and is specified over the extended (-40°C to +85°C) and automotive (-40°C to +125°C)
temperature ranges.
Applications
Portable Video/Game Systems/DVD Players
Digital Camcorders/Televisions/Still Cameras
PDAs
Video-Enabled Cell Phones
Notebook Computers
Portable/Flat-Panel Displays
Features
♦ Single-Supply Operation from 2.7V to 5.5V
♦ Input Sync-Tip Clamp
♦ DC-Coupled Output
♦ Low-Power Shutdown Mode Reduces Supply
Current to 150nA
♦ Available in Space-Saving SOT23, SC70, and
µDFN Packages
