16-Pin SSOP Package
MAX7474
The MAX7474 adaptive equalizer recovers losses
incurred in the transmission of a composite video
(CVBS) signal over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable. The device fully recovers losses for cable
lengths of up to 300m and greatly improves signal qual-
ity for cable lengths of up to 600m. The device automat-
ically adapts to all cable lengths for CVBS signals with
color burst and allows fixed-equalization settings for
video signals without burst. The MAX7474 is optimized
to provide compensation for losses that occur when
transmitting composite video signals over UTP cables
such as Category 5e. The device compensates for low
frequency and chroma band losses. The MAX7474 is
compatible with NTSC and PAL standards.
The MAX7474 accepts differential input and provides a
single-ended output. The output is capable of driving
two AC- or DC-coupled standard 150Ω video loads.
The output back-porch DC level is adjustable with an
externally applied DC voltage at the BPLVL input. The
device also features loss-of-sync (LOS) and loss-of-burst
(LOB) logic outputs.
The MAX7474 is available in a 16-pin SSOP package
and is fully specified over the extended (-40°C to
+85°C) temperature range.

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.
