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-

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.
