Three-Channel, High-Definition Video Filter
Features
The MAX11500 integrated three-channel high-definition
(HD) video filter includes input video clamps and output
buffers. This device is ideal for anti-aliasing and DAC
smoothing video applications such as set-top boxes,
hard-disk recorders (HDRs), DVD players, and personal video recorders.
The 6th-order channel filters have a typical -3dB bandwidth of 33MHz. Each channel has an output buffer with
a gain of +6dB and can drive a full 2VP-P video signal
into one standard 150Ω video load. These buffers can
drive either an AC- or DC-coupled load such that the
blanking level voltage after the backmatch resistor is
less than 1V.
♦ Three-Channel 6th-Order Filter for High-Definition
Video
The video inputs feature a transparent clamp for ACand DC-coupled input signals. If the input signal does
not go below ground, the input clamp is inactive, thus
enabling DAC outputs to be DC-coupled to the input.
The device operates from a single +5V supply, is offered
in the upper commercial 0°C to +85°C temperature
range, and is available in a small 8-pin SO package.

All inputs feature a transparent clamp that allows either
AC- or DC-coupling of the inputs. The clamp remains
inactive while the input signal is above ground, offering
true DC input coupling. If the signal goes below
ground, as is the case if it is AC-coupled, the clamp
sets the sync tip close to the ground level.

Detailed Description
The MAX11500 integrates three high-definition (HD)
video filters, each with a transparent input clamp, a 6thorder lowpass filter with a -3dB bandwidth of 33MHz,
and an output stage with a gain of 2V/V. The output signal is offset by typically 550mV to optimize driver performance.
VOUT = 2 x VIN + 0.55V
The choice to AC- or DC-couple the input depends on
the video source. Many DACs have a current output
and are terminated to ground with a resistor; such signals can be conveniently DC-coupled. In cases where
the DC level of the video signal is unknown or outside
of the specified input range of the MAX11500, such signals require AC-coupling. Examples of the latter are
SCART inputs and DACs terminated to VCC.
DC-Coupled Inputs
If the input is DC-coupled, the voltage must remain
above zero but not exceed the maximum input voltage
of 1.7V (typical).

AC-Coupled Inputs
If the input is AC-coupled, the transparent clamp will be
active and sets the sync tip or the lowest voltage of the
signal close to ground. This clamping behavior is
appropriate for unipolar signals such as Y, R, G, or B
with or without sync pulse (Figure 3).
For bipolar signals such as Pb, Pr signals, the AC-coupled
inputs should be biased to a fixed DC voltage to ensure
that the transparent clamp never turns on. A suitable
network that biases the input to typically 0.59V is shown
in Figure 4. The device has an input leakage current
(I L ) of typically 0.5µA and thus the bias voltage is
derived as follows:

HD Filters
The internal filters are optimized to deliver a flat passband along with high stopband attenuation. The filter
characteristic has been chosen to provide an excellent
time-domain response with low overshoot. The typical
-3dB frequency of 33MHz guarantees low attenuation
in the passband, while at the same time allowing for a
typical attenuation of -48dB at 74.25MHz.

Three-Channel, High-Definition Video Filter
Output Buffer
The MAX11500 features output buffers with +6dB gain
that drive a standard 150Ω video load. A typical load
consists of a 75Ω backmatch resistor, an optional
220µF or larger coupling capacitor, and a 75Ω termination resistor. The offset between input and output signals has been chosen such that the blanking level on
the output is less than 1V after the backmatch resistor,
thus meeting digital TV specifications. This allows the
MAX11500 to drive video loads directly without using
costly AC-coupling capacitors.
Applications Information
Output Considerations
The MAX11500 outputs can be DC- or AC-coupled.
The MAX11500, with +6dB gain, is typically connected
to a 75Ω series backmatch resistor followed by the
video cable. If an AC connection is used, choose an
AC-coupling capacitor value that ensures that the lowest frequency content in the video signal is passed and
the field-time distortion is kept within desired limits. The
selection of this value is a function of the input impedance and more importantly the input leakage of the circuit being driven. Common industry practice is to use a
220µF or larger capacitor.
6
The outputs of the MAX11500 are fully protected
against a short circuit either to the ground or the positive supply of the device. The short-circuit protection
circuitry limits the output current to typically 75mA per
output. Shorting more than one output simultaneously
may exceed the maximum package power dissipation.
PCB Layout Recommendations
The device is thermally designed to operate with minimum copper. However, to help with heat dissipation,
connect the power and ground traces to large copper
areas if possible. Bypass VCC to GND with a 0.1µF
capacitor and an additional 1µF capacitor in parallel for
additional low-frequency decoupling. Using surfacemount capacitors reduces lead inductance and
ensures that the impedance of the capacitors is low
over a broad range of frequencies.
Place traces carrying video signals appropriately to
avoid mutual coupling. If AC-coupling the inputs, place
the input coupling capacitors as close as possible to
the device and keep traces short to minimize parasitic
capacitance and inductance. Doing so extends the
performance to the uppermost frequency range possible with the MAX11500.
For a recommended PCB layout, refer to the MAX11500
EV kit data sheet.
