Low-Power Audio/Video Switch with Audio
Volume Control for Dual SCART Connectors
General Description
The MAX9670/MAX9671 dual SCART matrices route
audio and video signals between a set-top box
decoder chip and two external SCART connectors
under I
2
C control. Operating from a 3.3V supply and a
12V supply, the MAX9670/MAX9671 consume 66mW
during quiescent operation and 300mW during average
operation when driving typical signals into typical
loads. Video input detection, video load detection, and
a 2.8mW standby mode facilitate the design of intelli-
gent, low-power set-top boxes.
The MAX9670/MAX9671 audio section contains a
buffered crosspoint to route audio inputs to audio out-
puts and programmable volume control from -62dB to
0dB in 2dB steps. The DirectDrive
®
output amplifiers
create a 2V
RMS
full-scale audio signal biased around
ground, eliminating the need for bulky output capaci-
tors and reducing click-and-pop noise. The zero-cross
detection circuitry also further reduces clicks and pops
by enabling audio sources to switch only during a zero-
crossing. The MAX9671 offers TV left and right audio
inputs.
The MAX9670/MAX9671 video section contains a
buffered crosspoint to route video inputs to video out-
puts. The standard-definition video signals from the set-
top box decoder chip are lowpass filtered to remove
out-of-band artifacts.
The MAX9670/MAX9671 also support slow-switching
and fast-switching signals. An interrupt signal from the
MAX9670/MAX9671 informs the microcontroller when
the system status has changed.

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.
