6-Channel Integrated Video Reconstruction
Filters
General Description
The MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442 six-channel video
reconstruction filters replace 30 or more discrete com-
ponents. The devices are ideal for digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) video reconstruction applications,
when analog video is reconstructed from a digital data
stream. The MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442 operate
from a single +5V power supply. The inputs are DC-
coupled from the DAC and the output can either be AC-
or DC-coupled. The DC-IN, DC-OUT architecture, leads
to a perfect line-time distortion performance (zero tilt).
The filters have a cutoff frequency optimized for PAL,
NTSC, and SDTV video applications and offer three
high-frequency boost options. The MAX7440 offers a
flat passband response on all six channels; the
MAX7441/MAX7442 offer high-frequency boost on the
three channels used for CVBS and Y/C. The MAX7440/
MAX7441/MAX7442 are available in a 14-pin SO pack-
age and are fully specified over the extended tempera-
ture range.

MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442
Detailed Description
The MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442 filter the outputs of
DAC encoder chipsets that process digital video infor-
mation in applications such as set-top boxes, hard disk
recorders, DVD players, DVD recorders, and digital
VCRs. These devices also filter and clean up analog
video signals by rejecting out-of-band noise. Each
channel in the MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442 includes
a 4th-order lowpass filter and a gain of +1V/V output
stage, as shown in the
Typical Application Circuit.
Output Stage
The output stages of the MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442
are designed to drive 1V
P-P
signals into high-imped-
ance (>5kΩ) loads. They require external buffers to
drive standard video cables. Most standard audio/
video switching devices include these buffers for STB
applications.
Applications Information
MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442 with an A/V
Switching Device
The MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442 are designed to
directly interface to an audio/video switching device
used in video applications (i.e., STBs) with SCART
interfaces (see
Typical Application Circuit).
The output
of the analog filters can drive the high-impedance load
of the switching device. The switching device provides
the buffering to drive standard 150Ω video loads.
Filter
Filter Response
Each channel of the reconstruction filter consists of a
4th-order Sallen-Key filter configured as two 2nd-order
stages. The filter features a maximally flat passband for
NTSC, PAL, and SDTV bandwidths. The stopband
offers typically 45dB of attenuation at sampling fre-
quencies of 27MHz and above (see
Typical Operating
Characteristics).
The filter exhibits a Butterworth-type
response resulting in excellent group delay deviation
performance.
High-Frequency Boost
The high-frequency (HF) boost compensates for signal
degradation and rolloff in the signal path prior to the fil-
ter. This performance increases the image sharpness.
The MAX7441/MAX7442 offer a high-frequency boost
on channels OUT1, OUT5, and OUT6.
MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442 with
External Buffers
External buffering is required for the MAX7440/
MAX7441/MAX7442 to drive standard 150Ω video
loads. Figure 1 shows the MAX4394 triple op amp, con-
figured with a gain of +2V/V to drive standard video
loads from the MAX7440/MAX7441/MAX7442.
