Stand-Alone Operational

Amplifier Applications

The input amplifier of the audio section can be utilized
for stand-alone operational amplifier applications by
configuring ENC_INR+ and ENC_INL+ input as the
noninverting input, ENC_INR- and ENC_INL- input as
the inverting input and ENC_INROUT and
ENC_INLOUT output as the output of the stand-alone
operational amplifier. The gain-bandwidth product of
the amplifier is 7MHz (typ).

Applications That Do Not Need

the Slow-Switch Signal

V

12

should be left unconnected if the MAX9597 is used

in an application that does not require the slow-
switch output signal. See Figure 18.

Power-Supply Bypassing

The MAX9597 features single 3.3V and 12V supply
operation and requires no negative supply. The 12V
supply V

12

is for the SCART slow-switching function.

For pin V

12

, place a 0.1μF bypass capacitor as close to

it as possible. Connect V

AUD

to 3.3V and bypass with a

10μF electrolytic capacitor in parallel with a 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor to audio ground. Bypass V

VID

to

GND with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor.

Using a Digital Supply

The MAX9597 was designed to operate from noisy digi-
tal supplies. The high video PSRR (47dB at 100kHz)
allows the MAX9597 to reject the noise from the digital
power supplies (see the

Typical Operating Character-

istics

). If the digital power supply is very noisy and

stripes appear on the television screen, increase the
supply bypass capacitance. An additional, smaller
capacitor in parallel with the main bypass capacitor
can reduce digital supply noise because the smaller
capacitor has lower equivalent series resistance (ESR)
and equivalent series inductance (ESL).

Layout and Grounding

For optimal performance, use controlled-impedance
traces for video signal paths and place input termina-
tion resistors and output back-termination resistors
close to the MAX9597. Avoid routing video traces par-
allel to high-speed data lines.
