General Description
The MAX7447 4-channel, buffered video reconstruction
filter is ideal for anti-aliasing and DAC-smoothing video
applications or wherever analog video is reconstructed
from a digital data stream (such as cable/satellite/terrestrial set-top boxes, DVD players, hard disk recorders
(HDRs), and personal video recorders (PVRs)). This
device operates from a single +5V supply and has a
flat passband out to 5MHz with a stopband attenuation
of 43dB at 27MHz. This makes it ideal for use with
NTSC, PAL, and standard-definition digital TV (SDTV)
video systems. Each output is capable of driving two
standard 150Ω video loads.
The MAX7447 processes S-Video and CVBS video signals. The video output buffers have a fixed gain of +6dB.
Each channel has high-frequency boost circuitry that provides picture sharpness with up to +1.2dB of gain boost
without degradation in the stopband. The output video
drivers can be disabled with an external pin.
The MAX7447 is available in a 14-pin TSSOP package
with an exposed pad, and is specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.

4-Channel S-Video, CVBS Video Filter with

Pin Description
Detailed Description
The MAX7447 filters and buffers video-encoder DAC
outputs in applications such as set-top boxes, harddisk recorders, DVD players, and digital VCRs. The
MAX7447 reconstructs and cleans up analog video signals from the output of DAC video encoders. Each
channel consists of a lowpass filter and an output video
buffer that drives two standard 150Ω video loads.
The MAX7447 is designed to process S-Video and
CVBS video signals. The video signal processed by
channel A (CVBS video signal) must include a sync
pulse. This sync pulse provides the required timing for
channels A, B, and C. Channel D allows an asynchronous CVBS video signal to be processed with its own
local sync separator.
This device operates from a single +5V supply and has
a nominal cutoff frequency of 5MHz optimized for
NTSC, PAL, and SDTV.

Filter
Filter Response
The reconstruction filter consists of two 2nd-order SallenKey stages. The Butterworth-type response features a
maximally flat passband for NTSC and PAL bandwidths.
The stopband offers at least 43dB (typ) of attenuation at
a video-encoder DAC sampling frequency of 27MHz and
above (see the Typical Operating Characteristics).
High-Frequency Boost
Each channel has a +1.2dB high-frequency boost that
increases image sharpness by compensating for signal
degradation and rolloff in the video encoder.
Output Buffers
Each output buffer has a fixed gain of +6dB and can
drive two 150Ω video loads with a 2V
P-P
signal. The
MAX7447 can drive an AC load or drive the video load
directly without using a large output capacitor. The output buffers drive DC loads with an output blanking level
of less than 1V.
Output Clamp Level
When a sync pulse is detected on channel A (CVBS),
the DC restore loop is activated for channels A, B, and
C. Channel D’s DC restore loop is activated by the sync
pulse on channel D.The function of the loop is to set the
DC level of the video signal to a specified voltage. See
Table 1 for clamp levels and sync source.
Applications Information
Input Considerations
Use 0.1µF ceramic capacitors to AC-couple the inputs.
These input capacitors store a DC level so the outputs
are clamped to an appropriate DC voltage level.
Output Considerations
The outputs are typically connected to a 75Ω series
back-match resistor followed by the video cable.
Because of the inherent divide-by-two of this configuration, the voltage on the video cable is always less than
1V, complying with industry-standard video requirements such as the European SCART standard (which
allows up to 2V of DC on the video cable). The video
buffer can also drive an AC-coupled video load. Good
video performance is achieved with an output capacitor
as low as 220µF.
Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
The MAX7447 operates from a single +5V supply.
Bypass VCCto GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. Place all
external components as close to the device as possible.
Exposed Pads
The TSSOP-EP package has an exposed pad on the
bottom of the package. This pad is electrically connected to GND and should be connected to the ground
plane for improved thermal conductivity. Do not route
signals under this package.
