General Description
The MAX7462/MAX7463 single-channel, standard-definition, integrated video reconstruction filters and buffers
are ideal for anti-aliasing and digital-to-analog smoothing
video applications or wherever analog video is reconstructed from digital data (such as cable/satellite/terrestrial set-top boxes and DVRs).
The MAX7462 includes a disable function, which
places the output in a high-impedance state allowing
multiplexing of multiple output signals. It also has an
external gain control that sets the output buffer gain to
either +6dB or +9.5dB. The higher gain setting allows a
lower DAC output signal than the standard 1V
P-P
signal. The MAX7463 output buffer has a fixed gain of
+6dB.
The MAX7462/MAX7463 operate from a single +5V
supply and have a flat passband out to 5MHz with a
stopband attenuation of -43dB (typ) at 27MHz.
These devices can drive two standard 150Ω AC-coupled or DC-coupled video loads. The output black level
of the MAX7462/MAX7463 is less than 1V for DC-coupled outputs.
The MAX7462 is available in an 8-pin µMAX
®
package
and an 8-pin SO package. The MAX7463 is available in
an 8-pin SO package. All devices are specified over
the 0°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX7462/MAX7463 filters and buffers the analog
CVBS video outputs of DAC video-encoders in applications such as set-top boxes, hard-disk recorders, DVD
players, and digital VCRs. The MAX7462/MAX7463 consist of a lowpass filter and an output video buffer that can
drive two standard 150Ω video loads. These devices
operate from a single +5V supply and have a bandwidth
optimized for interlaced NTSC, PAL, and SDTV.
Filter
The reconstruction filter is a 4th-order Butterworth-type
response that features a maximally flat passband for
NTSC and PAL bandwidths. The stopband attenuation
is optimized for a video-encoder DAC sampling frequency of 27MHz (see the Typical Operating
Characteristics).
Output Buffer
The output buffer can drive two 150Ω video loads with
a 2V
P-P
signal. For the MAX7462, the output buffer gain
is selectable between +6dB and +9.5dB by using GAIN
(see Table 1). The MAX7463 has a fixed gain of +6dB.
The MAX7462/MAX7463 can drive an AC load or drive
the video load directly without using a large output
capacitor. The output buffer can drive DC loads while
maintaining an output blanking level of less than 1V. The
blanking level allows the MAX7462/MAX7463 to meet the
digital TV interface specifications for DC coupling.
Applications Information
Input Considerations
Use a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to AC-couple the input.
The input capacitor stores a DC voltage so that the output is clamped to the 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 blanking level on the video cable is always
less than 1V, complying with industry-standard video
requirements such as the digital TV standard (which
allows up to 1VDC on the video cable) and the
European SCART standard (which allows up to 2VDC
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 MAX7462/MAX7463 operate from a single +5V
supply. Bypass V
CC
to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. In
addition, it is sometimes advantageous to connect a
10µF capacitor within the general vicinity of the video
circuitry. Place all other external components as close
to the device as possible.
