General Description
The MAX7481/MAX7482 bidirectional video filters/
buffers provide the reconstruction filter and line drive
buffer for both composite (CVBS) and S-Video (Y/C)
video signals in playback mode, and anti-aliasing in
record mode for portable media devices. Each channel
consists of a lowpass filter and an output buffer capa-
ble of driving a full 2V
P-P
video signal into one standard
150
Ω
load (DC-coupled to ground). In record mode,
the MAX7481/MAX7482 output buffers have a gain of
+6dB. In playback mode, the MAX7481 output buffers
have a gain of +6dB and the MAX7482 output buffers
have a gain of +7dB.
The MAX7481/MAX7482 feature DirectDrive by utilizing
an internal negative charge pump and regulator to main-
tain the output blanking level at ground, eliminating the
need for a negative supply voltage, a large output cou-
pling capacitor, or a sag correction configuration.
The MAX7481/MAX7482 operate from a single +2.7V to
+3.6V power supply. These devices are available in a
space-saving 28-pin TQFN package and operate over
the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
