o
180MHz Large-Signal Bandwidth
MAX9539/MAX9540
The MAX9539/MAX9540 chipset provides a 3-wire
(RGB) interface for 5-wire (RGBHV) video by adding
and extracting the H, V, and composite sync from the
graphics video signals. This chipset eliminates the
problem of sync-to-video timing (skew errors) in a 5-
wire interface, while reducing the number of channels
required to transport video signals.
The MAX9539 mixes the H and V sync signals and
adds them to create a 3-wire interface from a 5-wire
(RGBHV) input. The MAX9540 recovers the H and V
sync signals to create a 5-wire (RGBHV) interface from
the 3-wire input. The MAX9540 also provides a com-
posite sync output.
The chipset includes the MAX9539 sync adder and the
MAX9540 sync extractor with 180MHz large-signal
bandwidths to address display resolutions up to 1600 x
1200 at 85Hz for VGA-to-UXGA applications. Both
devices feature a DC restore function, which virtually
eliminates any changes in black level. The chipset uses
a proprietary H and V sync addition/extraction scheme
(true sync) to minimize skew errors.
The MAX9539/MAX9540 are available in 28-pin TSSOP
packages and are specified over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

Continuous power dissipation rating must also be observed.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 5:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Specifications over temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
DC restore is not active. HSYNC and VSYNC are not applied. REST_R, REST_G, and REST_B are grounded.
DC restore is active. REST_R, REST_G, and REST_B are bypassed with 1nF to ground.
The sync timing error is measured as follows: The input signals are measured from the falling edge of H sync/V sync to the
start of active video, called t1. The output signal is then measured from the falling edge of H sync/V sync to the start of
active video, called t2. All measurements are at the 50% points as shown in Figure 1.
