General Description

The MAX7446 4-channel, buffered video reconstruction
filter is ideal for anti-aliasing and DAC-smoothing video
applications or wherever analog video is reconstructed
from a digital data stream (such as cable/satellite/ter-
restrial set-top boxes, DVD players, hard disk recorders
(HDRs), and personal video recorders (PVRs)). This
device operates from a single +5V supply and has a
flat passband out to 5MHz with a stopband attenuation
of 43dB at 27MHz. This makes it ideal for use with
NTSC, PAL, and standard-definition digital TV (SDTV)
video systems. Each output is capable of driving two
standard 150

Ω video loads.

The MAX7446 processes CVBS and RGB video signals.
The video output buffers have a fixed gain of +6dB. The
channel for CVBS video has high-frequency boost circuitry
that provides picture sharpness with +1.2dB of gain
boost without degradation in the stopband. The output
video drivers can be disabled with an external pin.

The MAX7446 is available in a 14-pin TSSOP package
with an exposed pad, and is specified over the -40°C to
+85°C extended temperature range.
