General Description
The MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A filters are low-cost, 
high-performance replacements for standard discrete filter and buffer solutions. The MAX7428/MAX7430/ 
MAX7432A are ideal for anti-aliasing and DAC smoothing video applications, when analog video is reconstructed from a digital data stream. These devices require a 
single +5V supply and the filters have a cutoff frequency 
optimized for NTSC, PAL, and standard definition digital 
TV (SDTV) video signals. The MAX7428/MAX7430/ 
MAX7432A feature Maxim’s single-pin bus (MSPB™) 
interface to digitally control channel selection (IN_A or 
IN_B), adjust high-frequency boost, bypass the filter, 
configure luma vs. chroma operation, and control the 
output disable. The MAX7428 single-channel filter is 
ideal for composite (CVBS) video signals. The MAX7430 
dual filter is optimized for S-Video (Y/C) applications. The 
MAX7432A triple filter is optimized for component (YPbP
r
or embedded synchronous RGB) video signals. The 
MAX7428 is available in a tiny 8-pin SOT23 package, the 
MAX7430 is available in a miniature 10-pin µMAX®package, and the MAX7432A is available in a 14-pin TSSOP 
package. The MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A are fully 
specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature 
range.

Detailed Description
The MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A filter and buffer the 
outputs of DAC encoder chipsets that process digital 
video information in applications such as set-top boxes, 
hard-disk recorders, DVD players, recorders, and digital VCRs. These devices also filter and “clean-up” analog video signals. Each channel in the MAX7428/ 
MAX7430/MAX7432A includes an input mux to select 
the input channel, a 6th-order Sallen-Key filter with four 
adjustable high-frequency boost levels, an output 
buffer with a 6dB gain, a sync detector and clamp, and 
an external resistor to set internal bias levels. Output 
disable adds additional multiplexing in a wired-OR configuration. Filter bypass, in conjunction with the two 
inputs, can be used to provide filtered and unfiltered 
video signal processing. Maxim’s Single Pin Bus
(MSPB) interface controls all of the above features. An 
external capacitor is used to assign each device a 
unique address that allows control of up to 16 devices 
on the same bus. Typical application circuits for the 
MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A are shown in Figures 1, 
2, and 3.
Input Considerations
Use a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to AC-couple the input 
to the MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A. This input 
capacitor stores a DC level to level-shift the input signal 
to an optimal point between VCCand GND. The ABSEL 
bit on the Control Register sets which channel (IN_A or 
IN_B) is selected (Control Register section). The IN_A 
and IN_B inputs have a typical input resistance of 
50kΩ.

Standard Definition Video Reconstruction 
Filters and Buffers
_______________________________________________________________________________________ 9
Filter
Filter Response
The reconstruction filter consists of a 6th-order 
Butterworth filter in three second-order stages. The 
Butterworth filter features a maximally flat passband for 
NTSC and PAL bandwidths. The stopband offers typically 50dB of attenuation at sampling frequencies of 25MHz 
and above (see Typical Operating Characteristics).
The corner frequency is not critical since the response 
of the filter meets both the stopband and passband 
specifications. The MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A 
incorporate an autotrimming feature that reduces the 
corner frequency variation digitally. It is possible, 
although not likely, that a discrete shift in the corner frequency may occur due to an external environmental 
change. The autotrimming operates continuously so 
that the corner frequency remains centered over the full 
operating temperature range. 
High-Frequency Boost
The high-frequency boost compensates for signal degradation and roll-off in the signal path prior to the MAX7428/ 
MAX7430/MAX7432A. High-frequency boost is programmable in four steps to increase image sharpness.
Output Buffer
The output buffer is able to drive two 150Ω video loads 
with a 2Vp-p signal. The +6dB gain of the output buffer 
is independent of the filter bypass or input selection. 
The output buffer drives the 75Ω backmatch resistors 
and series capacitor (typically 220µF). The MAX7428/ 
MAX7430/MAX7432A are able to drive the video load 
directly without using the 220µF capacitor. This feature 
is common in SCART applications. The OUTDISABLE bit 
of the control register disables the output (mute) (see 
Control Register section).
Filter Bypass
The MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A offer selectable filter bypassing that allows either of the video inputs to 
be filtered or unfiltered. The 1MΩ optional input resistors are needed only in filter bypass mode to provide a 
discharge path for the input coupling capacitors.
Serial Interface
Maxim’s Single Pin Bus (MSPB) interface uses DATA to 
transfer data to and from the microprocessor (µP) and 
the MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A. This negative logic 
protocol uses three different pulse widths to represent 
a logic “1”, logic “0”, and control commands. MSPB 
allows up to 16 devices to be connected on the same 
bus by assigning a unique 4-bit identification address 
to each device. The µP can communicate to each 
device individually or by sending a “broadcast” message to all the devices. The unique address for each 
device is set by means of the time constant set by the 
external capacitor connected in parallel with the external 300kΩ resistor (see Initializing the MAX7428/ 
MAX7430/MAX7432A section).
MAX7428 Control Register
Table 1 defines the structure of the MAX7428 8-bit control register programmed by MSPB. This register controls the selection of INA or INB, SYNCIO functionality, 
filter bypassing, clamp-level selection, high-frequency 
boost control, and output disable. See Maxim’s Single 
Pin Bus Interface (MSPB) section for detailed programming instructions. 
SYNCIO: SYNCIO Select bit. A logic 0 sets the SYNCIO 
pin to function as an output while a logic 1 sets SYNCIO 
to function as an input.
ABSEL: Channel Select bit. A logic 0 selects the input 
at INB to be processed while a logic 1 selects the input 
at INA to be processed.
BYPASS: Filter Bypass Select bit. A logic 1 selects the 
filter while a logic 0 bypasses the filter.

[BOOST1, BOOST0]: High-Frequency Boost Control bits. 
The adjust bits select the amount of high-frequency boost 
for the filter. Table 2 defines four levels of adjustment.
OUTDISABLE: Output Disable bit. A logic 0 selects 
normal operation while a logic 1 places the output in a 
high-impedance state. 
MAX7430 Control Register 
Table 3 defines the structure of the MAX7430 16-bit control register programmed by MSPB. This register controls 
the selection of IN_A or IN_B, selection of filter 1 or 2, filter 
bypassing, clamp-level selection, high-frequency boost 
control, and output disable. See Maxim’s Single Pin Bus 
Interface (MSPB) section for detailed programming 
instructions. 
ABSEL_: Channel Select bit. A logic zero selects the 
input at IN_B to be processed while a logic 1 selects 
the input at IN_A to be processed.
BYPASS_: Filter Bypass Select bit. A logic 1 selects

Applications Information
Maxim’s Single Pin Bus (MSPB) 
Serial Interface
The MSPB interface uses three pulses of different 
widths to represent commands and data bits. Figure 4 
shows the set of pulses that the single pin interface 
uses to communicate with the device. A combination of 
the one pulse (t1), zero pulse (t0), transaction pulse (tT), 
and prompt pulse (tP), writes to, reads back from, and 
sends broadcast data to the devices on the bus. 
Note: The zero pulse and prompt pulse are the same. 
Initialization pulses are significantly longer and are 
used only on power-up or software reset.
Initializing the
MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A
Initialization is performed only after power-up or software 
reset. It assigns a unique address to each device on the 
bus. The time constant of the capacitor connected to 
R
EXT
in parallel with the 300kΩ resistor determines the 
order in which the devices are initialized (address 
assigned). The device with the largest time constant is 
initialized first and so on, in descending order. Table 7 
shows the “Initialize Wait” and “Initialize Time” pulse 
widths needed for a specific capacitor value and tolerance. Program each device on the bus with this command sequence starting with the device with the biggest 
capacitor. To reinitialize a device, cycle the power or use 
a software reset. The following is the command 
sequence and timing diagram (Figure 5) for initialization 
as shown below. Chip ID is entered LSB first.
Note: If there is only one device on the bus, no initialization is needed. Communicate to the device using the 
broadcast command described on page 13.

Programming the
MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A
An address sequence precedes a write or read operation to determine with which device to communicate. If 
the address transmitted in this mode matches with a 
device’s address, the device and µP can initiate data 
transfer. When entering the four address bits, ensure 
that the LSB is entered first. The following is the command sequence and timing diagram (Figure 6) for an 
address sequence.
Use a write sequence to load data into the data register 
of the device. It must follow an address sequence. 
Transmit a minimum of eight data bits for the MAX7428, 
16 data bits for the MAX7430, or 24 data bits for the 
MAX7432A to make this transaction valid starting with 
the LSB first. The last 8/16/24 data bits are used if more
than 8/16/24 bits are loaded into the register. The following is the command sequence and timing diagram 
(Figure 7) for a write sequence.
During the read sequence, the µP sends a prompt 
pulse causing the device to output the data word LSB 
first. Similar to the write transaction, the read transaction must be preceded by an address sequence. If 
more than 8 prompts (MAX7428), 16 prompts 
(MAX7430), or 24 prompts (MAX7432A) are available, 
the device outputs the same data starting with the LSB 
again. The following is the command sequence and 
timing diagram (Figure 8) for a read sequence. 
Write Command Sequence:

The broadcast sequence writes data to the control registers of all the devices on the bus at the same time. Write 
data with the LSB first. The following is the command 
sequence and timing diagram (Figure 9) for the broadcast transaction. No address sequence is required. Use 
the broadcast command when there is only one device 
on the bus.
Executing a software reset serves the same function as 
a power-on reset and is achieved by transmitting all 
data bits (eight or more) for the MAX7428, sixteen or 
more ones for the MAX7430, or 24 or more ones for the 
MAX7432A to that device register.
Composite Video Filtering 
The MAX7428 is ideally suited for filtering composite 
video signals. Program the SYNCIO as an output when 
processing composite video signals. In the rare occasion that an external sync pulse is needed to process 
the composite video, program the SYNCIO as an input.

When processing composite video set the clamp level to 
+1V (CLEVEL = 0). Use the MAX7430 to process two 
synchronous composite signals simultaneously. Use the 
MAX7432A to process three synchronous composite 
signals simultaneously.
Y/C Video Filtering
The MAX7430 is ideally suited for processing S-Video (Y/C) 
signals (Figure 10). Ensure that IN1_ filters the signal that 
contains the sync information (Y) since the clamping on 
IN2_ is internally controlled by the master channel (IN1_) 
sync. Set the clamp level for IN1_ to +1V (CLEVEL1 = 0) 
and set the clamp level for IN2_ to +1.5V (CLEVEL2 = 1).
Use two MAX7428s for Y/C video filtering. Since only the 
Y signal contains the sync, a typical Y/C video-filtering 
application requires a master-slave configuration of the 
SYNCIO. The MAX7428 processing the Y signal should 
have SYNCIO configured as an output, which in turn drives the SYNCIO of the second MAX7428, processing the 
C signal that has its SYNCIO configured as an input 
(Figure 11). Clamping level for the Y signal should be set 
for +1V (CLEVEL = 0), and clamping level for the C signal should be set for +1.5V (CLEVEL = 1). Use the 
MAX7432A to filter one Y/C and one composite video 
signal that are synchronous.
Component Video (RGB 
or Y P
bPr
) Filtering
Component video consists of three separate signals. 
Typically the three signals are separate red, green, and 
blue (RGB) signals or Y (luma) and two color difference 
signals: B-Y (Pb) which is blue minus luma and R-Y (Pr), 
which is red minus luma. Sync information is included 
with the Y signal of Y PbPrcomponent video, or in the 
case of RGB, sync is usually carried on the G or on a 
separate H sync line. The MAX7432A is ideally suited 
for filtering component video signals. Ensure that the 
sync signal (Y for Y PbPrsignals and usually G for RGB 
signals) is filtered by IN1_ since IN2_ and IN3_ are 
internally synced to IN1_. Set the clamp level for IN1_ 
to +1V (CLEVEL1 = 0) and set the clamp levels for IN2_ 
and IN3_ to +1.5V (CLEVEL2, 3 = 1) for Y PbPrfiltering 
(Figure 12) and set all clamp levels to 1V (CLEVEL_ =
0) for RGB filtering (Figure 13). A Y PbPrcomponent 
video-filter application requires three MAX7428s with 
SYNCIO master-slave configuration. The MAX7428 processing the Y signal has its SYNCIO configured as an 
output, which in turn drives the SYNCIO inputs of the 
other MAX7428s (Figure 14). For RGB video signal filtering with a separate horizontal sync signal, configure 
all MAX7428s for SYNCIO as an input (Figure 15).

Set the clamping levels for component video so the 
MAX7428 processing Y clamps at +1V (CLEVEL = 0). 
The remaining two MAX7428s should have clamp levels 
set to +1.5V (CLEVEL = 1). For RGB video with external 
sync (H), all three MAX7428s should have clamp levels 
set to +1V (CLEVEL = 0).
Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
The MAX7428/MAX7430/MAX7432A operate from a single +5V supply. Bypass VCCto GND with a 0.1µF 
capacitor. Place all external components as close to 
the devices as possible. Refer to the MAX7428EVKIT 
for a proven PC board layout example.
