MAX11504 Evaluation Kit
The MAX11504 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount printed-circuit board
(PCB) that contains a MAX11504 IC. The MAX11504 is
a 4-channel video reconstruction filter and buffer for
standard-definition television (SDTV) applications. The
filter’s passband is typically 8.6MHz. The MAX11504
includes a +6dB output buffer capable of driving 2VP-P
into two standard 150Ω loads.
The video input and output signals on the EV kit can be
AC- or DC-coupled. The MAX11504 video input terminals are terminated at 75Ω and the output terminals are
75Ω back terminated. The EV kit operates from a single
5V DC power supply. The MAX11504 EV kit can also
evaluate the MAX11505 IC. Request a free MAX11505
IC sample from the factory when ordering the
MAX11504 EV kit.

MAX11504 Evaluation Kit
Quick Start
Detailed Description of Hardware
Recommended Equipment
The MAX11504 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount PCB that contains a MAX11504 IC. The
MAX11504 is a four-channel video reconstruction filter
and buffer for SDTV applications. The MAX11504 filter
typically has 3dB attenuation at 8.6MHz and 50dB
attenuation at 27MHz. The device includes a +6dB output buffer capable of driving a 2VP-P video signal into
two standard 150Ω loads.
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• 5V, 150mA DC power supply (VCC)
• Video signal generator (e.g., Tektronix TG-2000 or
similar)
• Video measurement equipment (e.g., Tektronix
VM700T or similar)
Procedure
The MAX11504 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all
connections are completed.
1) Verify that no shunts are installed across jumpers
JU1–JU4 (AC-coupled inputs).
2) Verify that no shunts are installed across jumpers
JU5–JU8 (no DC bias input).
3) Verify that no shunts are installed across jumpers
JU9, JU10, JU11 (one video load).
4) Verify that no shunts are installed across jumpers
JU12–JU16 (AC-coupled outputs).
5) Connect the output of the video signal generator to
the IN_1 BNC connector on the MAX11504 EV kit.
6) Connect the OUT_1A BNC connector on the EV kit
to the input of the video measurement equipment.
7) Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad
on the EV kit.
8) Connect the 5V supply to the VCC pad on the EV kit.
9) Set the video signal generator for the desired video
input signal. Since the input is AC-coupled and not
biased, the signal should be a unipolar signal such
as R, G, B, or Y.
10) Turn on the power supply, and enable the video
signal generator.
11) Analyze the video output signal.
The MAX11504 EV kit has four input channels to accept
composite and component video input signals. Each
output from the MAX11504 EV kit is capable of driving a
75Ω load to ground. This is equivalent to driving two
sets of 150Ω loads in parallel to ground.
All the input and output signals on the MAX11504 EV kit
can be configured for AC- or DC-coupling. The EV kit’s
input terminals are 75Ω terminated and the video output terminals are each back terminated with 75Ω.
MAX11505 Evaluation
The MAX11504 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX11505
IC. To evaluate the MAX11505, replace the IC (U1) with
the MAX11505 IC. Refer to the MAX11505 IC data
sheet for additional information.
Jumper Selection
Input Coupling
The MAX11504 IC features a transparent clamp at the
video inputs that allows either AC- or DC-coupling. If the
input signal remains above ground, the transparent clamp
is inactive, offering true DC input coupling. If the signal
drops below ground, the inputs must be AC-coupled. The
transparent clamp will set the sync tip just below ground.
The MAX11504 EV kit provides an option to configure
the MAX11504 inputs to AC- or DC-coupling. Jumpers
JU1–JU4 configure the input coupling for the
MAX11504 EV kit. See Table 1 for shunt positions.

AC-coupling
DC Bias for YPbPr Signals
When configuring the EV kit video inputs for ACcoupled operation, the correct DC bias point has to be
chosen, depending on the input signal. Unipolar signals, such as R, G, B, and Y, are biased correctly using
the MAX11504 internal transparent clamp. For bipolar
signals, such as PB and PR, a constant DC bias voltage
has to be applied after the AC-coupling capacitor to
make sure that the clamp never operates. A 590mV DC
bias voltage can be applied by installing shunts across
jumpers JU5–JU8. To configure the inputs to a different
DC bias voltage, replace resistors R17–R20. See Table
4 for input clamp configuration.
*Default position.
Output Channel 2, 3, and 4 Load
(OUT_2, OUT_3, OUT_4)
The MAX11504 EV kit provides an option to fully load
the output channels (2, 3, and 4) of the MAX11504.
Jumpers JU9, JU10, and JU11 configure channel 2,
channel 3, and channel 4 output loads, respectively, on
the MAX11504 EV kit. See Table 3 for shunt positions.
