General Description
The MAX7448, 4-channel, buffered video reconstruc-
tion filter is ideal for anti-aliasing and digital-to-analog
converter (DAC)-smoothing video applications or wher-
ever analog video is reconstructed from a digital data
stream (such as cable/satellite/terrestrial set-top boxes,
DVD players, hard-disk recorders (HDRs), and person-
al video recorders (PVRs)). This device operates from a
single +5V supply and has a flat passband out to 5MHz
with a stopband attenuation of 43dB at 27MHz. This
makes it ideal for use with NTSC, PAL, and standard-
definition digital TV (SDTV) video systems. Each output
is capable of driving two standard 150Ω video loads.
The MAX7448 processes RGB and asynchronous CVBS
video signals. The output video buffers have a fixed gain
of +6dB. The channel used for CVBS video has high-fre-
quency boost circuitry, which provides picture sharpness
with +1.2dB of gain boost without degradation in the
stopband. The output video drivers can be disabled with
an external pin.
The MAX7448 is available in a 14-pin TSSOP package
with an exposed pad, and is specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.

FUNCTION
Channel A Video Input. Use channel A for the green (G with sync) video signal. AC-couple INA with a series
0.1µF capacitor.
Channel B Video Input. Use channel B for the red (R) video signal. AC-couple INB with a series 0.1µF
capacitor.
Channel C Video Input. Use channel C for the blue (B) video signal. AC-couple INC with a series 0.1µF
capacitor.
Channel D Video Input. Use channel D for a CVBS (with sync) signal. AC-couple IND with a series 0.1µF
capacitor.
Disable Logic Input. A logic-low on DISABLE enables the output buffers. A logic-high on DISABLE disables
all buffer outputs and puts them in a high-impedance state.

MAX7448
Detailed Description
The MAX7448 filters and buffers video-encoder DAC
outputs in applications such as set-top boxes, HDRs,
DVD players, and digital VCRs. The MAX7448 recon-
structs and cleans up analog video signals from the
output of DAC video encoders. Each channel consists
of a lowpass filter and an output video buffer that can
drive two standard 150Ω video loads.
The MAX7448 is designed to process R, G (with sync),
B, and CVBS
ASYNC
video signals. The video signal
processed by channel A (G video signal) requires a
sync pulse. This sync pulse provides the required tim-
ing for channels A, B, and C. Channel D allows an
asynchronous video signal to be processed with its
own local sync separator.
This device operates from a single +5V supply and has
a nominal cutoff frequency of 5MHz optimized for
NTSC, PAL, and SDTV.
Filter
Filter Response
The reconstruction filter consists of two 2nd-order Sallen-
Key stages. The Butterworth-type response features a
maximally flat passband for NTSC and PAL bandwidths.
The stopband offers at least 43dB (typ) of attenuation at
a video-encoder DAC sampling frequency of 27MHz
(see the
Typical Operating Characteristics).
High-Frequency Boost
The +1.2dB high-frequency boost on channel D (CVBS
video signal) increases image sharpness by compensat-
ing for signal degradation and rolloff in the video encoder.
Channels A, B, and C do not boost high-frequency sig-
nals and have a flat response over the video bandwidth.
Output Buffers
Each output buffer has a fixed gain of +6dB and can
drive two 150Ω video loads with a 2V
P-P
signal. The
MAX7448 can drive an AC load or drive the video load
directly without using a large output capacitor. The out-
put buffers drive DC loads with an output blanking level
of less than 1V.
