MAX11508 Evaluation Kit
The MAX11508 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains a MAX11508 IC. The MAX11508 is a 3-channel
video filter and buffer. The 3-channel filter bandwidths
are selectable to accept high-definition television
(HDTV), progressive-scan (PS), standard-definition television (SDTV), or bypassed for 1080p or high bandwidth RGB signals. Each channel includes a transparent input clamp and a +6dB output buffer capable of
driving 2VP-P into a standard 150Ω load.
The video input and output signals on the EV kit can be
AC- or DC-coupled. The MAX11508 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 EV kit can also evaluate the
MAX11509. The MAX11508 EV kit is shipped with a
MAX11508 IC installed. To evaluate the MAX11509,
contact the factory to request free samples of the pincompatible MAX11509 IC.

Procedure
The MAX11508 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 shunts are installed on the default position of all the jumpers listed in Table 1.
2)
Connect the output of the video signal generator to
the Y/GIN BNC connector on the MAX11508 EV kit.
3)
Connect the Y/GOUT BNC connector on the EV kit
to the input of the video measurement equipment.
4)
Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad
on the EV kit.
5)
Connect the 5V supply to the VCC pad on the EV kit.
6)
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.
7)
Turn on the power supply and enable the video
signal generator.
8)
Analyze the video output signal.

Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX11508 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains a MAX11508 IC.
The MAX11508 is a 3-channel video filter and buffer. The
MAX11508 EV kit has three input channels to accept a full
set of component video input signals.
The MAX11508 filter bandwidths are selectable to
accept four different operational modes: SD, PS, HD, or
bypassed for 1080p or high bandwidth RGB signals.
Each channel includes a transparent input clamp and a
+6dB output buffer capable of driving 2VP-P into a standard 150Ω load.
All the input and output signals on the MAX11508 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.
MAX11509 Evaluation
The MAX11508 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX11509 IC.
To evaluate the MAX11509, replace MAX11508 IC U1 with
the MAX11509. Refer to the MAX11508/MAX11509 IC
data sheet for additional information.

Biasing the Channel 2 (PB/BIN) and
Channel 3 (PR/RIN) Inputs
The MAX11508 features transparent clamps on the
PB/B_IN and PR/R_IN pins to provide the correct bias
level for unipolar signals such as R, G, B, and Y. When
bipolar signals such as Pb and Pr are used, an internal
bias generator is used to set the correct bias level. The
bias generator is enabled by pulling the BIAS pin low
using jumper JU4. See Table 5 for the jumper positions.

Biasing the Channel 1 (Y/GIN) Input
When configuring the channel 1 input for AC-coupled
operation, the correct DC bias point has to be chosen,
depending on the input signals.
The MAX11508 features an internal transparent clamp to
provide the correct bias level for unipolar signals such
as R, G, B, and Y on channel 1 (Y/GIN). The MAX11508
channel 1 (Y/G_IN) internal transparent clamp is
enabled when no external bias is connected to the
Y/G_IN pin (see Table 4). If the unipolar signals exceed
the voltage defined in the MAX11508/MAX11509 IC data
sheet, AC-coupling is recommended.
For bipolar signals such as Pb and Pr on channel 1
(Y/GIN), AC-coupling is recommended, and an external
biasing circuit is provided on the EV kit (see Table 4).

Input Coupling (Y/GIN, PB/BIN, PR/RIN)
The MAX11508 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 ACcoupled. The transparent clamp sets the video sync tip
just below ground.
The MAX11508 EV kit provides an option to configure
the MAX11508 inputs to AC- or DC-coupling. Jumpers
JU5, JU6, and JU7 configure the input coupling for the
MAX11508 EV kit. See Table 6 for shunt positions.
