Low-Cost 4x4, 8x4, 8x8
Video Crosspoint Switches
General Description
The MAX4359/MAX4360/MAX4456 low-cost video cross-
point switches are designed to reduce component count,
board space, design time, and system cost. Each con-
tains a matrix of T-switches that connect any of their four
(MAX4359) or eight (MAX4360/MAX4456) video inputs to
any of their buffered outputs, in any combination. Each
matrix output is buffered by an internal, high-speed
(250V/µs), unity-gain amplifier that is capable of driving
400Ω and 20pF at 2.6V
P-P
. For applications requiring
increased drive capability, buffer the MAX4359/
MAX4360/MAX4456 outputs with the MAX4395 quad,
operational amplifier.
The MAX4456 has a digitally controlled 8x8 switch matrix
and is a low-cost pin-for-pin compatible alternative to the
popular MAX456. The MAX4359/MAX4360 are similar to
the MAX4456, with the 8x8 switch matrix replaced by a
4x4 (MAX4359) or an 8x4 (MAX4360) switch matrix.
Three-state output capability and internal, programmable
active loads make it feasible to parallel multiple devices
to form larger switch arrays. The inputs and outputs are
on opposite sides, and a quiet power supply or digital
input line separates each channel, which reduces
crosstalk to -70dB at 5MHz. For applications demanding
better DC specifications, see the MAX456 8x8 video
crosspoint switch.

Output Buffer Address Lines
Video Input Lines
Asynchronous Control Line. When LOAD = V
CC
, all the
400Ω internal active loads are on. When LOAD = GND,
external 400Ω loads must be used. The buffers
must
have a resistive load to maintain stability.
Digital Ground. DGND pins must have the same
potential and be bypassed to AGND. DGND should
be within ±0.3V of AGND.
When this control line is high, the 2nd-rank registers
are loaded with the rising edge of LATCH. If this con-
trol line is low, the 2nd-rank registers are transparent
when LATCH is low, passing data directly from the
1st-rank registers to the decoders.
No connection. Not internally connected.
Connect to V
CC
for serial mode; connect to GND for
parallel mode.
Negative Supply. All V- pins must be connected to each
other and bypassed to GND separately (Figure 2).
In serial mode, WR (write) shifts data into the input regis-
ter. In parallel mode, WR loads data into the 1st-rank
registers. Data is latched on the rising edge.
If EDGE/LEVEL = V
CC
, data is loaded from the 1st-
rank registers to the 2nd-rank registers on the rising
edge of LATCH. If EDGE/LEVEL = GND, data is
loaded while LATCH = GND. In addition, data is
loaded during the execution of parallel-mode func-
tions 1011 through 1110, or if LATCH = V
CC
during
the execution of the parallel-mode “software-latch”
command (1111).

Buffer Outputs. Buffer inputs are internally grounded with
a 1000 or 1001 command from the D3–D0 lines.
Analog Ground. AGND must be at 0.0V, since the gain-
setting resistors of the buffers are connected to these
pins.
Parallel Data Bit when SER/PAR = GND. When
D3 = GND, D0–D2 specify the input channel to be con-
nected to specified buffer. When D3 = V

Positive Supply. All V+ pins must be connected to each
