General Description
The MAX9507 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount printed-circuit board (PCB)
that evaluates the MAX9507 DirectDrive
TM
video filter
amplifier. The MAX9507 amplifies standard-definition
video signals and sets the video black level near
ground while consuming minimal power. The EV kit
operates from a 1.7V to 2.625V single power supply
and accepts an input video signal of up to 1V
P-P
. The
EV kit includes an I
2
C/SMBus™-compatible interface,
which provides software control of the video filter, ana-
log switches, load detection, and other functions.
The MAX9507 evaluation system (EV system) consists of
the MAX9507 EV kit and the Maxim CMAXQUSB+ com-
mand module. A Windows
®
98/2000/XP-compatible
software program is also available for use with the EV
system and can be downloaded from Maxim’s website
(www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware).
The Maxim CMAXQUSB+ command module provides
the I
2
C/SMBus interface and is connected to the com-
puter through the universal serial bus (USB) port. The
MAX9507 EV kit software provides a graphical user
interface (GUI) for exercising the MAX9507 features.

Detailed Description of Software
User-Interface Panel
In the program’s main window (Figure 1), a mouse is
used to toggle the checkboxes that control the various
features of the MAX9507. The MAX9507 EV kit software
permits the control of software-configurable features:
switches, sync-tip clamp, filter, signal path, charge
pump, load change flag enable, automatic signal path
enable, and automatic charge pump enable. Changes
to the controls result in write operations that update the
configuration and video load detect registers of the
MAX9507. All changes to the 8-bit command registers
are reflected on screen under the
B7–B0
labels; the
register contents are also read and displayed in hexa-
decimal format.
The EV kit software gives the user the option to automat-
ically read both registers, or manually read each regis-
ter individually by toggling the
Enable AutoPolling
checkbox. With AutoPolling disabled, the user must
manually click the
Read
button located next to the hex
register contents in order to send a read command. A
memo box at the bottom of the program’s main window
displays descriptions of the various features provided.
Place the pointer over the bit names for a functional
description. The status bar at the bottom of the pro-
gram’s main window is used to verify command module
and device connectivity.

MAX9507 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX9507 EV system (MAX9507EVCMAXQU+) con-
sists of the MAX9507 EV kit (MAX9507EVKIT+) and the
Maxim CMAXQUSB+ command module. The EV kit eval-
uates the MAX9507 DirectDrive video filter amplifier and
the CMAXQUSB+ provides the I
2
C/SMBus-compatible
interface for software control of the MAX9507’s video fil-
ter, analog switches, load detection, and other functions.
The EV kit is powered by a 1.7V to 2.625V power sup-
ply and is driven by a video source. The EV kit can
accept either a 250mV
P-P
or 1V
P-P
input full-scale
video signal and allows the use of both AC-coupled
and DC-coupled input signals. The output of the EV kit
is DC-coupled and provides an output full-scale video
signal that is nominally 2V
P-P
.
The MAX9507 amplifies standard-definition video signals
and sets the video black level near ground while con-
suming minimal power. The video output amplifier can
detect whether a load is present and indicates a change
in load status through the load change flag bit (LCF). In
addition, the MAX9507 has dual SPST analog switches
for routing additional audio, digital, or video signals.

C Pullup Resistors
The MAX9507 EV kit assumes pullup resistors will be
provided by the I
2
C master (e.g., the CMAXQUSB
board) on the SDA and SCL lines. To add these resis-
tors on the EV kit board instead, solder resistors to the
R11 and R12 locations.

Video Input Selection
The MAX9507 EV kit can be configured to accept either
a 250mV
P-P
or 1V
P-P
input full-scale signal at VIDIN
through the shunt location of JU2 (Table 2). When the
shunt is placed between pin 1 and pin 2, VIDIN sees a
standard termination of (R2 + R3) // (R1) = 75Ω to GND
and there is no attenuation. When the shunt is placed
between pin 2 and pin 3, VIDIN again sees a standard
termination of (R2 + R3) // (R1) = 75Ω, but the signal is
attenuated by R3 / (R2 + R3) = 1/4. Therefore, a 1V
P-P
signal at VIDIN results in 250mV
P-P
at IN.

Dual SPST Analog Switches
Additional audio, digital, video, or other signals can be
routed using the MAX9507’s SPST analog switches. The
MAX9507 EV kit provides external connections to these
switches through 50Ω BNC connectors. Termination
resistors for the switches may be placed on the EV kit
board by soldering resistors in the R7–R10 locations.
