General Description
The MAX9505 filters and amplifies standard-definition
video signals. Maxim’s DirectDrive™ technology eliminates large output-coupling capacitors and sets the
video black level to ground. An internal reconstruction
filter smoothes the steps and reduces the spikes on the
video signal from the video digital-to-analog converter
(DAC). The input of the MAX9505 can be directly connected to the output of a DAC. The MAX9505 provides
a compact, integrated, and low-power solution.
The reconstruction filter typically has 3dB attenuation at
9MHz and 50dB attenuation at 27MHz, and ±1dB passband flatness to 5.5MHz.
Maxim’s DirectDrive uses an integrated charge pump
and a linear regulator to create a negative power supply
to drive the sync below ground. The charge pump injects
so little noise into the video output that the picture is visibly flawless.
The MAX9505 features an internal 1.7Ω analog switch
that interfaces with a 4-pole multimedia jack. This
switch allows one of the poles to be set as a video
input, a video output, or a microphone input.
The MAX9505 is offered in space-saving 16-pin QSOP
and 16-pin TQFN packages and is specified over the
-40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 9
Detailed Description
The MAX9505 completely eliminates the need for
capacitors in the video output by using Maxim’s
DirectDrive technology that includes an inverting
charge pump and linear regulator. The charge pump
and linear regulator create a clean negative supply
allowing the amplifier output to swing below ground.
The amplifier output can swing both positive and negative so that the video signal black level can be placed
at ground. The MAX9505 features a six-pole,
Butterworth filter to perform reconstruction filtering on
the video input signal from the DAC.
DirectDrive
Background
Integrated video filter/amplifier circuits operating from a
single, positive supply usually create video output signals that are level-shifted above ground to keep the
signal within the linear range of the output amplifier. For
applications in which the positive DC level shift of the
video signal is not acceptable, a series capacitor can
be inserted in the output connection in an attempt to
eliminate the positive DC level shift. The series capacitor cannot truly level shift a video signal because the
average level of the video varies with picture content.
The series capacitor biases the video output signal
around ground, but the actual level of the video signal
can vary significantly depending upon the RC time constant and the picture content.
The series capacitor creates a highpass filter. Since
the lowest frequency in video is the frame rate, which
can be between 24Hz and 30Hz, the pole of the highpass filter should ideally be an order of magnitude
lower in frequency than the frame rate. Therefore, the
series capacitor must be very large, typically from
220µF to 3000µF. For space-constrained equipment,
the series capacitor is unacceptable. Changing from a
single series capacitor to a SAG network that requires
two smaller capacitors can only reduce space and
cost slightly.
The series capacitor in the usual output connection
also prevents damage to the output amplifier if the connector is shorted to a supply or to ground. While the
output connection of the MAX9505 does not have a
series capacitor, the MAX9505 will not be damaged if
the connector is shorted to a supply or to ground (see
the Short-Circuit Protection section).

Typically, the black level of the video signal created by
the video DAC is around 300mV. The MAX9505 shifts
the black level to ground at the output. Therefore, the
active video is above ground, and sync is below
ground. The amplifier needs a negative supply for its
output stage to remain in its linear region when driving
sync below ground.
The MAX9505 has an integrated charge pump and linear
regulator to create a low-noise negative supply from the
positive supply voltage. The charge pump inverts the
positive supply to create a raw negative voltage that is
then fed into the linear regulator, which outputs -2V. The
linear regulator filters out the charge-pump noise.
Comparison Between DirectDrive Output
and AC-Coupled Output
The actual level of the video signal varies less with a
DirectDrive output than an AC-coupled output. The
video signal average can change greatly depending
upon the picture content. With an AC-coupled output,
the average will change according to the time constant
formed by the series capacitor and series resistance
(usually 150Ω). For example, Figure 3 shows an ACcoupled video signal alternating between a completely
black screen and a completely white screen. Notice the
excursion of the video signal as the screen changes.
With the DirectDrive amplifier, the black level is held at
ground. The video signal is constrained between
-0.3V to +0.7V. Figure 4 shows the video signal from a
DirectDrive amplifier with the same input signal as the
AC-coupled system.
Analog Switch
The MAX9505 features an internal 4.4Ω (max) analog
normally open switch that interfaces with a 4-pole multimedia jack in which one of the poles can be set to a
video input, a video output, or a microphone input. The
switch has three modes of operation: open, normal
switch, and extended range switch. In normal switch
mode, the analog range is from 0V to VDD. In extendedrange switch mode, the analog range is from -2V to
V
DD.
Logic inputs MODE1 and MODE0 control the ana-
log switch operating modes (Table 1).
Video Reconstruction Filter
Before the video signal from the DAC can be amplified,
it must be lowpass filtered to smooth the steps and to
reduce the spikes created whenever the DAC output
changes value. In the frequency domain, the steps and
spikes cause images of the video signal to appear at
multiples of the sampling clock. The MAX9505 contains
a six-pole Butterworth lowpass filter. The passband
extends to 5.5MHz, and the minimum attenuation is
35dB at 27MHz.
Operating Modes
The MAX9505 uses two logic inputs to set the device
into one of the following modes: 1) shutdown mode, 2)
extended-range switch mode, 3) video output mode,
and 4) normal switch mode.
In video output mode, the video circuitry is on, the
charge pump is on, and the analog switch is open. In
normal switch mode, the analog switch is closed, and
the video circuitry and charge pump are off. In the
extended-range switch mode, the charge pump is on
and the analog switch is closed. Shutdown mode
reduces the supply current to 10nA typically (see Table
1 and Typical Application Circuits).

Short-Circuit Protection
The MAX9505 typical operating circuit includes a 75Ω
back-termination resistor that limits short-circuit current if
an external short is applied to the video output. The
MAX9505 features internal output, short-circuit protection
to prevent device damage in prototyping and applications where the amplifier output can be directly shorted.
Shutdown
The MAX9505 features a low-power shutdown mode for
battery-powered/portable applications. Shutdown
reduces the quiescent current to less than 10nA. Setting
MODE1 and MODE0 low disables the outputs and
places the MAX9505 into a low-power shutdown mode.
In shutdown mode the amplifier, charge pump, and linear regulator are turned off and the video output resistance is 4kΩ.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Bypassing and Ground
Management
The MAX9505 operates from a 2.7V to 3.6V single supply and requires proper layout and bypassing. For the
best performance, place the components as close to
the device as possible.
Proper grounding improves performance and prevents
any switching noise from coupling into the video signal.
Connect GND and SGND together at a single point on
the PC board. Route all traces that carry switching transients away from SGND. Return SGND to the lowest
impedance ground available. Route CPGND and all
traces carrying switching transients away from SGND,
GND, and other traces and components in the video
signal path. Bypass the analog supply (VDD) with a 1µF
capacitor to SGND, placed as close to the device as
possible. Bypass the charge-pump supply (CPV
DD
)
with a 1µF capacitor to CPGND, placed as close to the
device as possible. Connect CPVSSto V
SS
and bypass
with a 1µF capacitor to CPGND as close to the device
as possible.
