The MAX7457 4-channel video switch is ideal for antialiasing and DAC-smoothing video applications or wherever analog video is reconstructed from a digital data
stream such as cable/satellite/terrestrial set-top boxes
(STBs), DVD players, hard disk recorders (HDRs), and
personal video recorders (PVRs). The MAX7457 filters
and buffers CVBS and RGB video signals, making it
ideal for dual SCART (peritelevision) STBs with an
auxiliary CVBS input. The MAX7457 operates from a single +5V supply and has a flat passband out to 5MHz
with a stopband attenuation of 43dB at 27MHz, making
it ideal for NTSC, PAL, and standard-definition digital TV
(SDTV) video systems.
The MAX7457 output buffers have a fixed gain of +6dB
and are capable of driving two standard 150Ω video
loads. The channel for CVBS video has high-frequency
boost circuitry that enhances picture sharpness with up
to +1.2dB of gain boost without degradation in the
stopband. The video output drivers can be disabled by
an external control input.
The MAX7457 is available in a 16-pin, 5mm x 5mm x
0.8mm TQFN package, and is specified over the
extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

The MAX7457 4-channel video switch filters and
buffers video encoder DAC outputs in applications
such as STBs, HDRs, DVD players, and digital VCRs.
The MAX7457 offers an auxiliary CVBS loop-through
feature required in dual SCART applications. Audio and
video switching in SCART STBs utilize a costly integrated A/V switch offering high-end features such as volume control and high audio-drive capability. A more
cost-effective solution uses the MAX7457 for the video
switching along with low-cost standard passive analog
switches for the audio switching.
The MAX7457 reconstructs and cleans up analog video
signals from the video encoder’s DAC output. Each
channel consists of a lowpass filter and an output video
buffer that drives two standard 150Ω video loads. The
MAX7457 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
Sallen-Key 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 the video encoder’s DAC sampling frequency of 27MHz (see the Typical OperatingCharacteristics).
High-Frequency Boost
INA1/INA2 have +1.2dB of high-frequency boost that
increases image sharpness by compensating for signal degradation and rolloff in the video encoder.
Channels INB/INC/IND (RGB) do not boost high-frequency signals and have a flat response over the
video bandwidth.

MAX7457
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
MAX7457 can drive an AC-coupled load or drive a DCcoupled load, eliminating the large coupling capacitors. The output buffers drive DC loads with an output
blanking level of less than 1V.
Output Clamp Level
The video signal processed by channel INA_ (CVBS
video signal) must include a sync pulse. This sync
pulse provides the required timing to all four channels.
When channel INA_ detects a sync pulse, the DC
restore loop is activated. 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.
Input Multiplexer
The MAX7457 has a 2-to-1 input multiplexer at channel
INA_. The input to the CVBS channel comes from
either a DAC output or from a CVBS source and is
selected by SELA. Pull SELA low to select INA1 or high
to select INA2.
Applications Information
Input Considerations
Use 0.1µF ceramic capacitors to AC-couple the inputs.
The 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. An
output capacitor as low as 220µF provides good
video performance.
Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
The MAX7457 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 Pad
The TQFN 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.
