General Description
The MAX9532 DirectDrive®video filter amplifier is
specifically designed to work in harsh environments
such as automobiles. The MAX9532 provides integrated short-to-battery protection, allowing the output of the
device to survive shorts up to 18V.
Maxim’s DirectDrive technology eliminates large output
coupling capacitors and sets the output video black
level near ground. DirectDrive requires an integrated
charge pump and an internal linear regulator to create
a clean negative power supply so that the amplifier can
pull the sync below ground. The charge pump injects
so little noise into the video output that the picture is
visibly flawless.
The MAX9532 features an internal reconstruction filter
that smoothes the steps and reduces the spikes on the
video signal from the video digital-to-analog converter
(DAC). The reconstruction filter typically provides ±1dB
passband flatness of 9.5MHz and 42dB attenuation at
27MHz.
The input of the MAX9532 can be directly connected to
the output of a video DAC. The MAX9532 also features a
transparent input sync-tip clamp, allowing AC-coupling
of input signals with different DC biases.
The MAX9532 features an internal fixed gain of 4V/V. The
input full-scale video signal is nominally 0.5V
P-P
, and the
output full-scale video signal is nominally 2V
P-P
.
The short-to-battery protection utilizes an internal switch
in series with the amplifier output. When the MAX9532
detects that the output is short circuited to the battery
voltage, the internal switch is disabled, protecting the
MAX9532 from voltages up to 18V.
The MAX9532 is available in a 3mm x 3mm, 10-pin
µMAX
®
package and is specified over the -40°C to
+125°C automotive operating temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX9532 DirectDrive video amplifier with short-tobattery protection features an internal 5-pole
Butterworth lowpass filter with the amplifier configured
with a gain of 4. The MAX9532 accepts DC-coupled or
AC-coupled full-scale input signals of 0.5V
P-P
.
Integrated short-to-battery protection prevents the
MAX9532 from being damaged when the output is
short circuited to the battery in automotive applications.
DirectDrive
Background
Integrated video filter amplifier circuits operate from a
single supply. The positive power supply usually creates video output signals that are level-shifted above
ground to keep the signal within the linear range of the
output amplifier. For applications where the positive DC
level is not acceptable, a series capacitor can be
inserted in the output connection 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 is
between 24Hz and 30Hz, the pole of the highpass filter is
ideally 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.
Video Amplifier
When the full-scale video signal from a video DAC is
500mV, the black level of the video signal created by
the video DAC is around 150mV. The MAX9532 shifts
the black level to near ground at the output so that the
active video is above ground and the sync is below
ground. The amplifier needs a negative supply for the
output stage to remain in the linear region when driving
sync below ground.
The MAX9532 includes 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 filtering 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 with an AC-coupled output. The
average video signal level changes depending upon
the picture content. With an AC-coupled output, the
average level changes according to the time constant
formed by the series capacitor and series resistance
(usually 150Ω). For example, Figure 1 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 2 shows the video signal from a
DirectDrive amplifier with the same input signal as the
AC-coupled system.
Video Reconstruction Filter
The MAX9532 features an internal five-pole, Butterworth
lowpass filter to condition the video signal. The reconstruction filter smoothes the steps and reduces 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 frequency. The reconstruction filter typically provides ±1dB passband flatness of
9.5MHz and 42dB attenuation at 27MHz.
Transparent Sync-Tip Clamp
The MAX9532 contains an integrated, transparent synctip clamp. When using a DC-coupled input, the sync-tip
clamp does not affect the input signal as long as the
input signal remains above ground. When using an ACcoupled input, the sync-tip clamp automatically clamps
the input signal to ground, preventing the input signal
from going lower. A low current of 2µA pulls down on
the input to prevent an AC-coupled signal from drifting
outside the input range of the device.
Short-Circuit
and Short-to-Battery Protection
The MAX9532 typical operating circuit includes a 50Ω
or 75Ω back-termination resistor that limits short-circuit
current when an external short is applied to the video
output. The MAX9532 also features an internal output
short-circuit protection to prevent device damage in
prototyping and applications where the amplifier output
can be directly shorted to ground.
To protect the device from output short circuits to voltages higher than the supply voltage V
DD
, the MAX9532
utilizes an internal switch in series with the amplifier output. When the JACKSENSE input detects that the output connector of the circuit is shorted to the battery
voltage (up to 18V) higher than the internal 8V threshold, an internal comparator disables the switch in 10µs
(typ) preventing the MAX9532 from being damaged.
After the output is shorted to a battery, the output
immediately resumes normal operation when the short
is removed within 1ms. When the output is shorted to
the battery for longer than 1ms, the output resumes normal operation 10ms after the short is removed.
Applications
Power Consumption
Quiescent power consumption is defined when the
MAX9532 is operating without load. In this case, the
MAX9532 consumes about 47.355mW. Average power
consumption, when the MAX9532 drives a 100Ω and
150Ω load to ground with a 50% flat field, is about
51.596mW and 49.513mW, respectively. Table 1 shows
the power consumption with different video signals.
Notice that the two extremes in power consumption
occur with a video signal that is all black and a video
signal that is all white. The power consumption with
75% color bars and 50% flat field lies in between the
extremes.

Interfacing to Video DACs that Produce
Video Signals Higher than 0.5V
P-P
Devices designed to generate 1V
P-P
video signals at
the output of the video DAC can work with the
MAX9532. Most video DACs source current into a
ground-referenced resistor, which converts the current
into a voltage. Figure 3 shows a video DAC that creates
a video signal from 0V to 1V across a 150Ω resistor.
With a gain of 2V/V, the following video filter produces a
2V
P-P
output.
The MAX9532 accepts input signals that are 0.5V
P-P
nominally. The video DAC in Figure 3 can be made to
work with the MAX9532 by scaling down the 150Ω
resistor to a 75Ω resistor, as shown in Figure 4. The
75Ω resistor is one-half the size of the 150Ω resistor,
resulting in a video signal that is one-half the amplitude.
Video Source with a Positive DC Bias
In some applications, the video source generates a signal with a positive DC voltage bias, i.e., the sync tip of
the signal is well above ground. Figure 5 shows an
example in which the outputs of the luma (Y) DAC and
the chroma (C) DAC are connected together. Since the
DACs are current-mode, the output currents sum
together into the resistor, which converts the resulting
current into a voltage representing a composite video
signal.
When the chroma DAC is connected to an independent
output resistor to ground, the chroma signal, which is a
carrier at 3.58MHz for NTSC or at 4.43MHz for PAL,
generates a positive DC bias to keep the signal above
ground at all times. When the luma DAC is connected
to an independent output resistor to ground, the luma
signal usually does not have a positive DC bias, and
the sync tip is at approximately ground. When the chroma and luma signals are added together, the resulting
composite video signal generates a positive DC bias.
Therefore, the signal must be AC-coupled into the
MAX9532 because the composite video signal is above
the nominal 0V to 0.7V DC-coupled input range.
Video Signal Routing
Minimize the length of the PCB trace between the output of the video DAC and the input of the MAX9532 to
reduce coupling of external noise into the video signal.
If possible, shield the PCB trace.

Power-Supply Bypassing
and Ground Management
The MAX9532 operates from a 3V to 3.6V single supply
and requires proper layout and bypassing. For the best
performance, place the components as close as possible to the device.
Proper grounding improves performance and prevents
any switching noise from coupling into the video signal.
Bypass the analog supply (V
DD
) with a 1µF capacitor to
GND, placed as close as possible to the device.
Bypass CPVSS to GND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor in
parallel with a 10nF low-ESR capacitor. The bypass
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to
the device.
