Quad Video (Filter) Amplifiers with Input
Sync-Tip Clamps
General Description
The MAX9657 is a small, low-power, quad video ampli-
fier with input sync-tip clamps. It features a bandwidth
of 15MHz, making it suitable for not only standard-defi-
nition video signals, but also video graphics array
(VGA) signals with a 640 x 480 resolution at up to 85Hz
refresh rate.
The MAX9658 is a quad video amplifier with integrated
lowpass filters and input sync-tip clamps. The lowpass
filters typically have ±1dB passband flatness out to
9.5MHz and 47dB attenuation at 27MHz. Specially suit-
ed for composite video signals, the MAX9658 is ideal
for performing anti-alias filtering at the inputs of a digital
video recorder or for performing reconstruction filtering
at the outputs of a SCART set-top box.
Both devices require that the incoming video signals be
AC-coupled to the inputs. The input sync-tip clamps set
the internal DC level of the video signals.
The amplifiers have 2V/V gain, and the outputs can be
DC-coupled to a 75Ω load, which is the equivalent of
two video loads, or AC-coupled to a 150Ω load.
Both the MAX9657/MAX9658 feature a low-power shut-
down mode, in which supply current is reduced to
35µA.
The MAX9657/MAX9658 operate from a single 2.7V to
3.6V supply, are specified over the -40°C to +125°C
automotive temperature range, and are offered in a
small, 16-pin QSOP package.

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.
