3V/5V, 6dB Video Amplifiers with
High Output-Current Capability
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B 3V/5V, ground-sensing
amplifiers with a fixed gain of 6dB provide high output
current while consuming only 10nA of current in shutdown mode. The MAX9504A/MAX9504B are ideal for
amplifying DC-coupled video inputs from current digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The output can drive
two DC-coupled 150Ω back-terminated video loads in
portable media players, security cameras, and automotive video applications. The MAX9504B features an
internal 160mV input offset to prevent output sync tip
clipping when the input signal is close to ground.
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B have -3dB large-signal
bandwidth of 42MHz and -3dB small-signal bandwidth
of 47MHz.
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B operate from a single +2.7V
to +5.5V supply and consume only 5mA of supply current. The low-power shutdown mode reduces supply
current to 10nA, making the MAX9504A/MAX9504B ideal
for low-voltage, battery-powered video applications.
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B are available in tiny 6-pin
µDFN (2mm x 2mm) and 6-pin SOT23 packages, and
are specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B 3V/5V, 6dB video amplifiers
with low-power shutdown mode accept DC-coupled
inputs and drive up to two DC-coupled, 150Ω back-terminated video loads. The MAX9504B provides an internal input offset voltage of 160mV, which allows
DC-coupled input signals down to ground without clipping the output sync tip.
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B operate from a single +2.7V
to +5.5V supply and consume only 5mA of supply current. The low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current to less than 1µA, making the MAX9504A/MAX9504B
ideal for low-voltage, battery-powered video applications.
Output Current Capability
As shown in the Typical Application Circuit, the
MAX9504A/MAX9504B can drive up to two 150Ω loads
to ground at the same time because the outputs can
source guaranteed 45mA (min) current. Two 150Ω loads
to ground is the same as a single 75Ω load to ground.
Since the MAX9504A/MAX9504B can also sink guaranteed 40mA (min) current, they can also drive two, AC-coupled 150Ω loads. When VCC > 3V, the output can swing
2.4VP-P. When VCC > 4.5V, the output can swing 2.8VP-P.
Input Offset (MAX9504B)
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B amplify DC-coupled video
signals with a gain of +2V/V (+6dB). The MAX9504B
features a 160mV input offset voltage (VOS) that allows
a video signal input range to ground without clipping
the output sync tip. The MAX9504B output voltage is
the sum of the input voltage and the input offset voltage
gained up by a factor of 2.
VOUT = 2 x (VIN + VOS)
For example, if VIN = 1V and VOS = 0.16V then:
VOUT = 2 x (1V + 0.16V) = 2.32V
Shutdown Mode
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B feature a low-power shutdown mode (I SHDN < 1µA) for battery-powered/
portable applications. Driving SHDN high enables the
output. Driving SHDN low disables the output and
places the MAX9504A/MAX9504B into a low-power
shutdown mode. In shutdown, the output resistance is
4kΩ (typ) due to the combination of feedback resistors
from OUT to ground with FB connected to OUT.

3V/5V, 6dB Video Amplifiers with
High Output-Current Capability
Applications Information
Using the MAX9504A/MAX9504B
with Video Current DACs
Video current DACs source current into a resistor connected to ground. The output voltage range for composite video and luma (Y) is usually from ground up to
1V (see Figure 1). Notice that the sync tip is quite close
to ground. Standard single-supply amplifiers with railto-rail outputs have difficulty amplifying input signals at
or near ground because their output stages enter a
nonlinear mode of operation when the output is pulled
close to ground.
The MAX9504B level shifts the input signal up by
160mV so that the output has a positive DC offset of
320mV. As a result, the MAX9504B output stage always
operates in the linear mode. Even if the input signal is
at ground, the MAX9504B output is at 320mV.
At the output of a video current DAC, the blank level of
the chroma signal is usually between 500mV to 650mV.
The voltage swing above and below the blank level is
approximately ±350mV (see Figure 1). If the blank level
is 550mV, then the lowest voltage for the chroma signal
is 200mV. For the case of chroma signals, no input
level shift is needed because 200mV gained up by two
is 400mV, which is well within the linear output range of
the MAX9504A or MAX9504B. Since the MAX9504A
does not have an input level shift, the MAX9504A
should be used with chroma signals. In summary, use
the MAX9504B with composite video and luma signals
from a DAC, and use the MAX9504A with chroma signals from a DAC.
MAX9504 fig01
Using the MAX9504A/MAX9504B with a
Video Reconstruction Filter
In most video applications, the video signal generated
from the DAC requires a reconstruction filter to smooth
out the steps and reduce the spikes. The MAX9504 has
a high-impedance, DC-coupled input that can be connected directly to the reconstruction filter.
LUMA
500mV/div
GND
For standard-definition video, the video passband is
approximately 6MHz, and the DAC sampling clock is
27MHz. Normally, a 9MHz lowpass filter can be used
for the reconstruction filter. This section demonstrates
the methods to build simple 2nd- and 3rd-order passive Butterworth lowpass filters with 9MHz cutoff frequency. See Figures 2 and 3.

2nd-Order Butterworth Lowpass Filter Realization
Table 1 shows the normalized 2nd-order Butterworth
LPF component values at 1 rad/s with a source/load
impedance of 1Ω.
With the following equations, the L and C can be calculated for the cutoff frequency (f C) at 9MHz. Table 2
shows the appropriate L and C values for different
source/load impedances, the bench measurement values for the -3dB frequency and the attenuation at
27MHz. There is approximately 20dB attenuation at
27MHz, which decreases the spikes at the sampling

3rd-Order Butterworth Lowpass Filter Realization
If a flatter passband and more stopband attenuation
are desired, a 3rd-order lowpass filter can be used.
The design procedures are similar to the 2nd-order
Butterworth lowpass filter.
Table 3 shows the normalized 3rd-order Butterworth
lowpass filter with the cutoff frequency at 1 rad/s and
the stopband frequency at 3 rad/s. Table 4 shows the
appropriate L and C values for different source/load
impedances, the bench measurement values for the -3dB
frequency and the attenuation at 27MHz. The attenuation is over 40dB at 27MHz. At 6MHz, the attenuation is
approximately 0.6dB for R1 = R2 = 150Ω (Figure 6).

Y/C-to-Composite Mixer and Driver Circuit
The Y/C-to-composite mixer and driver use two lowpass filters, the MAX9504A and the MAX9504B. In
Figure 7, the top video DAC generates a luma signal,
which is filtered through the passive RLC network and
then amplified by the MAX9504B. The bottom video
DAC generates a chroma signal, which is filtered and
then amplified by the MAX9504A.
LUMA OUT is directly connected to the output of the
MAX9504B through a 75Ω back-termination resistor;
likewise, CHROMA OUT to the output of the MAX9504A.
CVBS OUT (the composite video with blanking and
sync output) is created by AC-coupling the chroma signal to the luma signal through the 470pF capacitor,
which looks like an AC short at the color subcarrier frequency of 3.58MHz for NTSC or 4.43MHz for PAL.
This circuit relies upon the feature that the MAX9504A/
MAX9504B can drive two loads at the same time.

AC Output Coupling and Sag Correction
The MAX9504 can use the sag configuration if the output requires AC-coupling and VCC ≥ 4.5V. Sag correction refers to the low-frequency compensation for the
highpass filter formed by the 150Ω load and the output
capacitor. In video applications, the cutoff frequency
must be less than 5Hz in order to pass the vertical sync
interval and avoid field time distortion (field tilt). In the
simplest configuration, a very large coupling capacitor
(> 220µF typically) is used to achieve the 5Hz cutoff
frequency. In the sag configuration, two smaller capacitors are used to replace the very large coupling capacitor (see Figure 8). For VCC ≥ 4.5V, C5 and C6 are 22µF
capacitors.
Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing
The MAX9504A/MAX9504B operate from a single 2.7V
to 5.5V supply. Bypass the supply with a 0.1µF capacitor as close to VCC possible. Maxim recommends using
microstrip and stripline techniques to obtain full bandwidth. To ensure that the PC board does not degrade
the device’s performance, design it for a frequency
greater than 1GHz. Pay careful attention to inputs and
outputs to avoid large parasitic capacitance. Whether
or not you use a constant-impedance board, observe
the following design guidelines:
• Do not use wire-wrap boards; they are too inductive.
• Do not use IC sockets; they increase parasitic capacitance and inductance.
• Use surface-mount instead of through-hole components for better, high-frequency performance.
• Use a PC board with at least two layers; it should be
as free from voids as possible.
• Keep signal lines as short and as straight as possible.
Do not make 90° turns; round all corners.
