The MAX9670/MAX9671 dual SCART matrices route
audio and video signals between a set-top box
decoder chip and two external SCART connectors
under I
2
C control. Operating from a 3.3V supply and a
12V supply, the MAX9670/MAX9671 consume 70mW
during quiescent operation and 471mW during average
operation when driving typical signals into typical
loads. Video input detection, video load detection, and
a 2.5mW standby mode facilitate the design of intelligent, low-power set-top boxes.
The MAX9670/MAX9671 audio section contains a
buffered crosspoint to route audio inputs to audio outputs and programmable volume control from -62dB to
0dB in 2dB steps. The DirectDrive
®
output amplifiers
create a 2V
RMS
full-scale audio signal biased around
ground, eliminating the need for bulky output capacitors and reducing click-and-pop noise. The zero-cross
detection circuitry also further reduces clicks and pops
by enabling audio sources to switch only during a zerocrossing. The MAX9671 offers TV left and right audio
inputs.
The MAX9670/MAX9671 video section contains a
buffered crosspoint to route video inputs to video outputs. The standard-definition video signals from the settop box decoder chip are lowpass filtered to remove
out-of-band artifacts.
The MAX9670/MAX9671 also support slow-switching
and fast-switching signals. An interrupt signal from the
MAX9670/MAX9671 informs the microcontroller when
the system status has changed.

Note 1: All devices are 100% production tested at TA= +25°C. Specifications over temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: Normal operation mode is full power with input video and load detection active.
Note 3: The settling time is measured from the 50% of the input swing to the 0.1% of the final value of the output.
Note 4: A master device must provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to V

the undefined region of SCL’s falling edge.

The MAX9670/MAX9671 represents Maxim’s third generation of SCART audio/video (A/V) switches. Under I2C
control, these devices route audio, video, and control
information between the set-top box decoder chip and
two SCART connectors. The audio signals are left audio
and right audio. The video signals are composite video
with blanking and sync (CVBS) and component video
(red, green, blue). S-video (Y/C) can be transported
across the SCART interface if CVBS is reassigned to
luma (Y) and red is reassigned to chroma (C). Support
for S-video is optional. The slow-switch signal and the
fast-switch signal carry control information. The slowswitch signal is a 12V, three-level signal that indicates
whether the picture aspect ratio is 4:3 or 16:9 or causes
the television to use an internal A/V source such as an
antenna. The fast-switch signal indicates whether the
television should display CVBS or RGB signals.
CVBS, left audio, and right audio are full duplex. All the
other signals are half duplex. Therefore, one device on
the link must be designated as the transmitter, and the
other device must be designated as the receiver.
The low power consumption and the advanced monitoring functions of the MAX9670/MAX9671 enable the cre-
ation of lower power set-top boxes, televisions, and
DVD players. Unlike competing SCART ICs, the audio
and video circuits of the MAX9670/MAX9671 operate
entirely from 3.3V rather than from 5V and 12V. Only the
slow-switch circuit of the MAX9670/MAX9671 requires a
12V supply. The MAX9670/MAX9671 also have circuits
that detect activity on the CVBS inputs, loads on the
CVBS outputs, and the level of the slow-switch signals.
The INT signal informs the microcontroller if there are
any changes so that the microcontroller can intelligently decide whether to power up or power down
the equipment.
In addition, the MAX9670/MAX9671 have DirectDrive
audio circuitry to eliminate click-and-pop noise. With
DirectDrive, the DC bias of the audio line outputs is
always at ground, no matter whether the MAX9670/
MAX9671 are being powered up or powered down.
Conventional audio line output drivers that operate from a
single supply require series AC-coupling capacitors.
During power-up, the DC bias on the AC-coupling capacitor moves from ground to a positive voltage, and during
power-down, the opposite occurs. The changing DC bias
usually causes an audible transient.
