General Description
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 fil-
ters 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 75
Ω load, which is the equivalent of
two video loads, or AC-coupled to a 150
Ω load.
