General Description
The MAX7443/MAX7444 are low-cost, triple-channel
video reconstruction filters for S-video and CVBS video
signals. These devices are ideal for anti-aliasing and
DAC smoothing video applications such as set-top
boxes, DVD players, hard-disk recorders (HDRs), and
personal video recorders. These filters operate from a
single +5V supply. They are optimized for NTSC, PAL,
and standard-definition digital TV (SDTV) video systems.
Each channel consists of a lowpass filter and an
adjustable-gain output buffer capable of driving two
standard 150Ω video loads. The output buffers can drive
either an AC or a DC load such that the blanking level
voltage after the backmatch resistor is less than 1V. The
Y and C video inputs are summed to produce the composite video output. The MAX7444 offers highfrequency boost to improve picture sharpness. The
MAX7443 has a maximum flat-frequency response.
The MAX7443/MAX7444 are available in a tiny 8-pin thin
QFN and an 8-pin SO package with exposed pad, and
are fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended
temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
