MAX7449
The MAX7449, 3-channel, buffered video reconstruc-
tion filter is ideal for anti-aliasing and digital-to-analog
converter (DAC)-smoothing video applications or wher-
ever analog video is reconstructed from a digital data
stream (such as cable/satellite/terrestrial set-top boxes,
DVD players, hard-disk recorders (HDRs), and person-
al 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 150Ω video loads.
The MAX7449 processes component RGB video signals.
The output video buffers have a fixed gain of +6dB. The
output video drivers can be disabled with an external pin.
The MAX7449 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.

3-Channel Video Reconstruction Filter
for RGB Component Video
Detailed Description
The MAX7449 filters and buffers video-encoder DAC
outputs in applications such as set-top boxes, HDRs,
DVD players, and digital VCRs. The MAX7449 recon-
structs and cleans up component RGB analog video
signals. Each channel consists of a lowpass filter and
an output video buffer that drives two standard 150Ω
video loads.
This device operates from a single +5V supply and has
a nominal cutoff frequency of 5MHz optimized for
NTSC, PAL, and SDTV.
Applications Information
Input Considerations
Use 0.1µF ceramic capacitors to AC-couple the inputs.
These input capacitors store a DC level so the outputs
are clamped to an appropriate DC voltage level. The
MAX7449 allows R, G, or B video signals to be processed
by any channel. G must not have sync information.
MAX7449
Output Considerations
The outputs are typically connected to a 75Ω series
back-match resistor followed by the video cable.
Because of the inherent divide-by-two of this configura-
tion, the voltage on the video cable is always less than
1V, complying with industry-standard video require-
ments such as the European SCART standard (which
allows up to 2V of DC on the video cable). The video
buffer can also drive an AC-coupled video load. Good
video performance is achieved with an output capacitor
as low as 220µF.
Filter
Filter Response
The reconstruction filter consists of two 2nd-order Sallen-
Key stages. The Butterworth-type response features a
maximally flat passband for NTSC and PAL bandwidths.
The stopband offers at least 43dB (typ) of attenuation at
a sampling frequency of
≥27MHz
(see the
Typical
Operating Characteristics).
Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
The MAX7449 operates from a single +5V supply.
Bypass V
CC
to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. Place all
external components as close to the device as possible.
Output Buffers
Each output buffer has a fixed gain of +6dB and can
drive two 150Ω video loads with a 2V
P-P
signal. The
MAX7449 can drive an AC load or drive the video load
directly without using a large output capacitor. The out-
put buffers drive DC loads with an output blanking level
of less than 1V.
Exposed Pads
The TSSOP-EP package has an exposed pad on the
bottom of the package. This pad is electrically connect-
ed to GND and should be connected to the ground
plane for improved thermal conductivity. Do not route
signals under this package.
Output Clamp Level
When a sync pulse is detected on EXTSYNC, the DC
restore loop is activated for channels A, B, and C. The
function of the loop is to set the DC level of the video
signal to the desired level. See Table 1 for clamp levels.
