Low-Power Video Switches
for Dual SCART Connectors
Features
The MAX9655/MAX9656 dual SCART switches route
video signals between a set-top box decoder chip and
two external SCART connectors. Under the control of the
TV_SEL logic input, the MAX9655 selects whether the
CVBS and RGB signals from the encoder or the VCR
SCART are routed to the TV SCART. The CVBS signal
from the encoder is always routed to the VCR SCART.
The MAX9656 is similar to the MAX9655 except that
under the control of the VCR_SEL logic input, the
MAX9656 selects whether the CVBS signal from the
encoder or the TV SCART is routed to the VCR SCART.
The MAX9656 also features a low-power shutdown
mode, in which quiescent current falls to 35µA.
The incoming video signals must be AC-coupled to the
inputs, which have sync-tip clamps to set the internal
DC level. After the input stages, multiplexers select
which video signals are routed to the reconstruction filters and output amplifiers. The reconstruction filters are
optimized for standard-definition signals and typically
have ±1dB passband flatness out to 9.5MHz and 47dB
attenuation at 27MHz.
The amplifiers have 2V/V gain, and the outputs can be
DC-coupled to a 75Ω load, which is the equivalent of
two video loads, or AC-coupled to a 150Ω load.
♦ Dual SCART Support for Video Signals

♦ Reconstruction Filters with 9.5MHz Passband and
47dB Attenuation at 27MHz

Detailed Description
A MAX9655 or a MAX9656 can comprise the video portion of a low-cost, dual SCART solution in set-top boxes
with a subset of the full SCART functions. The
MAX9655/MAX9656 select whether the CVBS, red,
green, and blue video signals from the encoder or the
VCR SCART are routed to the TV SCART. The
MAX9655/MAX9656 support the output of one CVBS
signal to the VCR SCART. In the MAX9655, the CVBS
signal from the encoder is routed to the VCR SCART.
In the MAX9656, the CVBS signal routed to the VCR
SCART can come from the encoder or TV SCART. In
the typical usage case, the VCR (or DVD recorder)
records a television program from the set-top box. In
such a case, the encoder would be the source of the
CVBS signal. Support for the TV SCART CVBS return
path is useful when a person wants to record on his
VCR (or more likely DVD recorder) a television program
received through the television’s antenna. The television program is transmitted from the television to the
set-top box and then to the VCR.
Both the MAX9655 and MAX9656 have integrated
reconstruction filters so that when the encoder video
signals are routed to the TV SCART or the VCR SCART,
the steps and spikes left by the video digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) are smoothed away. Although the
incoming video signals from the VCR SCART are
assumed to be filtered already, the reconstruction filter
has wide enough bandwidth so that the video signals
from the VCR SCART are not degraded.

MAX9655/MAX9656
Pin Description
MAX9655/MAX9656
Low-Power Video Switches
for Dual SCART Connectors
The incoming video signals can have any DC bias
because the input sync-tip clamps restore the
DC level. The output amplifiers have a gain of 2V/V.
The MAX9655/MAX9656 operate from a single 3.3V
supply and consume low quiescent power and low
average power. In addition, the MAX9656 also has
shutdown mode.
Table 1. TV_SEL Logic (Applicable to
Both the MAX9655 and the MAX9656)
LOGIC STATE
Operating Modes
TV_SEL controls whether the encoder or VCR video signals are sent to the TV SCART. See Table 1.
On the MAX9656, VCR_SEL controls whether the CVBS
signal from the TV SCART or the encoder is sent to the
VCR SCART. SHDN controls whether the device is on
or off. See Tables 2 and 3. In shutdown, the outputs of
the MAX9656 are high impedance.
Low
Encoder video signals are routed to the
TV SCART.
High
VCR SCART video signals are routed to
the TV SCART.
Table 2. VCR_SEL Logic (Only Applicable
to the MAX9656)
Input
Every video signal must be AC-coupled to the
MAX9655/MAX9656 through 0.1µF capacitors. The
MAX9655/MAX9656 have sync-tip clamps and bias circuits to restore the DC level of the video signal after the
input coupling capacitor. When a video input is selected, the input has a sync-tip clamp, which accepts
video signals that have sync pulses or that reach their
minimum level during sync. Composite video with
blanking and sync (CVBS) is an example of a video signal with sync pulses. The red, green, and blue signals
in an RGBS signal set are examples of signals that
return to their blank level during sync. The sync-tip voltage is internally set to 300mV.
When a video input is not selected, the inputs to the
MAX9655 and the MAX9656 do not distort the video
signal in case the video source is driving video signals
to another video circuit such as a video multiplexer.
The inputs are biased at VDD/3, which is sufficiently
above ground so that the ESD diodes never forward
bias as the video signal changes. The input resistance

is ENC_CVBS_IN (MAX9655), in which the input circuit

input circuit is active on the inputs of the MAX9655
depending on TV_SEL. Table 5 summarizes which input

When the MAX9656 is in shutdown, its inputs are
biased at the same voltage and present the same input
resistance as unselected inputs.
Video Filter
The MAX9655/MAX9656 video filter features ±1dB
passband out to 9.5MHz and 47dB attenuation at
27MHz, making the filter suitable for standard-definition
video signals from all sources (e.g., broadcast and
DVD). Broadcast video signals are channel limited:
NTSC signals have 4.2MHz bandwidth, and PAL signals have 5MHz bandwidth. Video signals from a DVD
player, however, are not channel limited; so the bandwidth of DVD video signals can approach the Nyquist
limit of 6.75MHz. Recommendation: ITU-R BT.601-5
specifies 13.5MHz as the sampling rate for standarddefinition video. Therefore, the maximum bandwidth of
the signal is 6.75MHz. To ease the filtering requirements, most modern video systems oversample by two
times, clocking the video current DAC at 27MHz.
Outputs
The video output amplifiers can both source and sink
load current, allowing output loads to be DC- or ACcoupled. The amplifier output stage needs approximately 300mV of headroom from either supply rail. The
devices have an internal level-shift circuit that positions
the sync tip at approximately 300mV at the output.
If the supply voltage is greater than 3.135V (5% below
a 3.3V supply), each amplifier can drive two DC-coupled video loads to ground. If the supply is less than
3.135V, each amplifier can drive only one DC-coupled
or AC-coupled video load.
Applications Information
Audio Switch for Dual SCART Connectors
In addition to video signals, SCART connectors also
support left and right audio signals that are full duplex.
Figure 1 shows a matching audio switch for the
MAX9655. Notice that it can be made from low-cost,
discrete components. It is assumed that the set-top box
chip generates the left and right audio signals directly,
or the set-top box chip sends an I2S stream to a stereo
audio DAC that generates the left and right audio signals. In both cases, the audio signals are filtered and
amplified by a dual audio op amp before they are presented to the audio switch.
Figure 2 shows a matching audio switch for the
MAX9656. Similar to how the MAX9656 handles video
signals, the audio signals from the set-top box chip or
the audio signals from the TV SCART are routed to the
VCR SCART.
AC-Coupling the Outputs
The outputs can be AC-coupled since the output stage
can source and sink current as shown in Figure 3.
Coupling capacitors should be 220µF or greater to
keep the highpass filter, formed by the 150Ω equivalent
resistance of the video transmission line, to a corner
frequency of 4.8Hz or below. The frame rate of PAL
systems is 25Hz. The corner frequency should be well
below the frame rate.

Power Consumption
The quiescent power consumption and average power
consumption of the MAX9655/MAX9656 are very low
because of the 3.3V operation and low-power circuit
design. Quiescent power consumption is defined when
the MAX9655/MAX9656 are operating without loads
and without any video signals.
Average power consumption represents the normal
power consumption when the devices drive real video
signals into real video loads. It is measured when the
MAX9655/MAX9656 drive a 150Ω load to ground with
a 50% flat field, which serves as a proxy for a real
video signal.
Table 6 shows the quiescent and average power consumption of the MAX9655/MAX9656.
