Video Switch for Dual SCART Connectors
General Description
The MAX7457 4-channel video switch is ideal for anti-
aliasing and DAC-smoothing video applications or wher-
ever analog video is reconstructed from a digital data
stream such as cable/satellite/terrestrial set-top boxes
(STBs), DVD players, hard disk recorders (HDRs), and
personal video recorders (PVRs). The MAX7457 filters
and buffers CVBS and RGB video signals, making it
ideal for dual SCART (peritelevision) STBs with an
auxiliary CVBS input. The MAX7457 operates from a sin-
gle +5V supply and has a flat passband out to 5MHz
with a stopband attenuation of 43dB at 27MHz, making
it ideal for NTSC, PAL, and standard-definition digital TV
(SDTV) video systems.
The MAX7457 output buffers have a fixed gain of +6dB
and are capable of driving two standard 150Ω video
loads. The channel for CVBS video has high-frequency
boost circuitry that enhances picture sharpness with up
to +1.2dB of gain boost without degradation in the
stopband. The video output drivers can be disabled by
an external control input.
The MAX7457 is available in a 16-pin, 5mm x 5mm x
0.8mm TQFN package, and is specified over the
extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

FUNCTION
Channel INB Video Input. Use channel INB for the red (R) signal. AC-couple INB with a series
0.1µF capacitor.
Channel INC Video Input. Use channel INC for the green (G) signal. AC-couple INC with a series
0.1µF capacitor.
Channel IND Video Input. Use channel IND for the blue (B) signal. AC-couple IND with a series
0.1µF capacitor.
Disable Logic Input. A logic low on DISABLE enables the output buffers. A logic high on DISABLE
disables all buffer outputs and puts them in a high-impedance state.
Select A Input. A logic low on SELA selects INA1 and a logic high on SELA selects INA2.
No Connection. Not internally connected.

+5V Supply Input
Channel D Video Output. OUTD can be either AC- or DC-coupled.
Channel C Video Output. OUTC can be either AC- or DC-coupled.
Channel B Video Output. OUTB can be either AC- or DC-coupled.
Channel A Video Output. OUTA can be either AC- or DC-coupled.
Channel INA2 Video Input. Connect auxiliary CVBS to INA2. AC-couple INA2 with a series
0.1µF capacitor.
Channel INA1 Video Input. Connect CVBS to INA1. AC-couple INA1 with a series 0.1µF capacitor.
Exposed Pad. Connect to GND for improved thermal heat sinking.
MAX7457
Detailed Description
The MAX7457 4-channel video switch filters and
buffers video encoder DAC outputs in applications
such as STBs, HDRs, DVD players, and digital VCRs.
The MAX7457 offers an auxiliary CVBS loop-through
feature required in dual SCART applications. Audio and
video switching in SCART STBs utilize a costly integrat-
ed A/V switch offering high-end features such as vol-
ume control and high audio-drive capability. A more
cost-effective solution uses the MAX7457 for the video
switching along with low-cost standard passive analog
switches for the audio switching.
The MAX7457 reconstructs and cleans up analog video
signals from the video encoder’s DAC output. Each
channel consists of a lowpass filter and an output video
buffer that drives two standard 150Ω video loads. The
MAX7457 operates from a single +5V supply and has a
nominal cutoff frequency of 5MHz, optimized for NTSC,
PAL, and SDTV.
Filter
Filter Response
The reconstruction filter consists of two 2nd-order
Sallen-Key stages. The Butterworth-type response fea-
tures a maximally flat passband for NTSC and PAL
bandwidths. The stopband offers at least 43dB (typ) of
attenuation at the video encoder’s DAC sampling fre-
quency of 27MHz (see the
Typical Operating
Characteristics).
High-Frequency Boost
INA1/INA2 have +1.2dB of high-frequency boost that
increases image sharpness by compensating for sig-
nal degradation and rolloff in the video encoder.
Channels INB/INC/IND (RGB) do not boost high-fre-
quency signals and have a flat response over the
video bandwidth.
