MAX4079
The MAX4079 filters and buffers video (NTSC/PAL/DVB)
and stereo audio signals from the MPEG decoder of a
cable/satellite receiver, VCR/DVD player, or a TV to an
external load. The MAX4079 has luma-chroma (Y-C)
and composite (CVBS) video inputs with one Y-C and
two CVBS outputs. All video inputs are AC-coupled with
internal DC biasing on the chroma input and active
clamps for the luma and composite.
The MAX4079 video reconstruction filters have a 6MHz
cutoff frequency and 50dB attenuation at 27MHz. The
filters are matched with flat group delay for standard-
definition video. The video gain is fixed at +6dB to drive
a 75Ω back-terminated load (150Ω) to unity gain. The
video outputs can be either DC- or AC-coupled and are
powered by a single +5V supply.
The MAX4079 audio amplifiers have differential inputs
for optimum performance, but can be used with single-
ended sources with external biasing. The audio chan-
nels have a fixed gain of +6dB and deliver 2.6V
RMS
output with a differential input of ±1.85V. The audio
amplifiers operate from a +9V to +12V single supply
and feature an internal bias generator. An on-chip
mixer also provides a mono output, with +3dB gain,
derived from the left and right audio channels.
The MAX4079 is available in 24-pin TSSOP package,
and is fully specified over the 0°C to +70°C commercial
temperature range. The MAX4079 Evaluation Kit is
available to help speed designs.

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.
