The MAX9505 filters and amplifies standard-definition
video signals. Maxim’s DirectDrive? technology eliminates
large output-coupling capacitors and sets the
video black level to ground. An internal reconstruction
filter smoothes the steps and reduces the spikes on the
video signal from the video digital-to-analog converter
(DAC). The input of the MAX9505 can be directly connected
to the output of a DAC. The MAX9505 provides
a compact, integrated, and low-power solution.
The reconstruction filter typically has 3dB attenuation at
9MHz and 50dB attenuation at 27MHz, and ±1dB passband
flatness to 5.5MHz.
Maxim’s DirectDrive uses an integrated charge pump
and a linear regulator to create a negative power supply
to drive the sync below ground. The charge pump injects
so little noise into the video output that the picture is visibly
flawless.
The MAX9505 features an internal 1.7Ω analog switch
that interfaces with a 4-pole multimedia jack. This
switch allows one of the poles to be set as a video
input, a video output, or a microphone input.
The MAX9505 is offered in space-saving 16-pin QSOP
and 16-pin TQFN packages and is specified over the
-40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
