General Description
The MAX11501/MAX11502 integrated filters offer three
channels of 5th-order filters for standard-definition
video and include +6dB output buffers on each chan-
nel. These video filters are ideal for anti-aliasing and
DAC smoothing in applications such as set-top boxes,
security systems, digital video recorders (DVRs), DVD
players, and personal video recorders.
The MAX11501/MAX11502 video inputs feature a trans-
parent clamp compatible with AC- and DC-coupled
input signals and allow DAC outputs to be directly cou-
pled. The 5th-order filters provide a typical -3dB band-
width of 8.6MHz (MAX11501) and 8.9MHz (MAX11502)
and offer either a flat passband response (MAX11501)
or a +0.8dB peaking passband response (MAX11502)
on all channels.
Each channel includes an output buffer with a gain of
+6dB capable of driving a full 2VP-P video signal into
two standard 150Ω(75Ωback-terminated) video loads.
The buffers drive either AC- or DC-coupled loads and
assure a blanking level of below 1V after the back-
match resistor.
The MAX11501/MAX11502 operate from a single +5V
supply and are available in the upper commercial 0°C
to +85°C temperature range. These devices are avail-
able in small 8-pin SO packages.

Detailed Description
Each channel of the MAX11501/MAX11502 contains a
transparent input clamp, an 8.6MHz (MAX11501) or
8.9MHz (MAX11502), 5th-order lowpass filter and an
output amplifier with a gain of two (see the
Typical
Operating Circuit
). The MAX11501 provides a flat pass-
band response and the MAX11502 features a +0.8dB
high-frequency boost at 5MHz on all channels to help
with system roll-off. Within the passband, each channel
amplifies the signal by two and adds 280mV of offset.
VOUT = (2 x VIN) + 0.28V
Typical voltage levels are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Inputs
Transparent Clamps
All inputs feature transparent clamps to allow either AC
or DC input coupling. The clamp remains inactive while
the input signal is above ground, offering true DC input
coupling. If the signal goes below ground, as when the
signal is AC-coupled, the internal clamp sets the sync
tip at slightly below the ground level.

Input Coupling
The choice of AC- or DC-coupling the input depends
on the video source. Many DACs provide a current out-
put and are terminated to ground with a resistor. Such
DAC outputs are conveniently DC-coupled to the
MAX11501/MAX11502. Use AC-coupling when the DC
level of the video signal is unknown or outside the
specified input range of the MAX11501/MAX11502,
such as SCART or VCC terminated DAC outputs.
DC-Coupled Inputs
If the input is DC-coupled, the input voltage must
remain above zero but not exceed the maximum input
voltage of 1.4V (typical).
AC-Coupled Inputs
If the input is AC-coupled, the transparent clamps are
active and set the lowest point of the signal at ground.
This is appropriate for unipolar signals such as Y, R, G,
or B, with or without sync pulses (Figure 3).
For bipolar signals such as Pb and Pr, bias the AC-cou-
pled inputs to a fixed DC voltage, typically 0.59V, to ensure
that the transparent clamp remains off. A suitable network
is shown in Figure 4. Determine the bias voltage using:
where ILis the input leakage current (typically 0.5µA).

Standard-Definition Filters
The MAX11501/MAX11502 filters are optimized to deliver
a flat (MAX11501) or high-frequency boosted (MAX11502)
passband and high stopband attenuation. The filter char-
acteristics have been chosen to provide excellent time
domain response with low overshoot. The typical -3dB fre-
quency of 8.6MHz (MAX11501) and 8.9MHz (MAX11502)
guarantee minimal attenuation in the passband while
at the same time offering a 27MHz attenuation of
typically -50dB (MAX11501) and -48dB (MAX11502).
Output Buffer
The MAX11501/MAX11502 feature output buffers with
+6dB of gain. A typical load (Figure 5(a)) is a 75Ωback-
match resistor, an optional 220µF or larger AC-coupling
capacitor, a transmission line, and a 75Ωtermination
resistor. The MAX11501/MAX11502 clamp the signal,
forcing the blanking level to less than 1V at the termina-
tion resistor. This allows direct drive of video loads at
digital TV specifications without the need for costly AC-
coupling capacitors. The MAX11501/MAX11502 drive
two parallel loads per output (Figure 5(b)), but thermal
considerations must be taken into account when doing
so (see the
Junction-Temperature Calculations
section).
Applications Information
Output Configuration
The MAX11501/MAX11502 outputs may be either DC- or
AC-coupled. When the outputs are AC-coupled, choose
a capacitor that passes the lowest frequency content of
the video signal, and keeps the line-time distortion within
desired limits. The capacitor value is a function of the
input leakage and impedance of the circuit being driven.
The MAX11501/MAX11502 easily drive the industry com-
mon 220µF, or larger, coupling capacitor. If any or all
outputs are driving two parallel loads, see the
Junction-
Temperature Calculations
section.
The MAX11501/MAX11502 outputs are fully protected
against short circuits to ground. The short-circuit pro-
tection circuitry limits the output current to 80mA (typi-
cal) per output. Shorting more than one output to
ground simultaneously may exceed the maximum
package power dissipation.
Junction-Temperature Calculations
Die temperature is a function of quiescent power dissi-
pation and the power dissipation in the output drivers.
Calculate the power dissipated, PD, using:
PD= PDS + PDO1 + PDO2 + PDO3
where PDS is the quiescent power dissipated in the die,
and given by:
PDS = VCC x ICC
and where PDOn is the power dissipated in the nth dri-
ver stage and given by:
where VORMSn is the RMS output voltage and RLn is the
load resistance.
The following is an example of a junction-temperature
calculation, assuming the following conditions:
1) Video standard = 525/60/2:1.
2) Video format = RGB with syncs on all.
3) Picture content = 100% white.
4) The input signal is AC-coupled.
5) The output signal is DC-coupled.
6) VCC = 5.0V.
7) ICC = 26mA.

Figure 5. Typical Output Loads
MAX11501/MAX11502
A sync tip exists at 280mV and peak white exists at
2.28V. The RMS voltage is approximately 1.88V on
each output (80% of the peak-to-peak voltage, plus the
offset) giving:
PDS = 5 x 0.026 = 0.13W
and
PD= 0.13 + 0.078 + 0.078 + 0.078 = 0.364W
The junction temperature is given by:
TJ= TA+ (RθJA x PD)
where TJis junction temperature, TAis ambient temper-
ature (assume +70°C), and RθJA is thermal resistance
junction to ambient.
From the
Absolute Maximum Ratings
section of the data
sheet, the derating factor is 5.9mW/°C above +70°C.
RθJA = 1/(derating factor) = 1/(5.9mW/°C) = 170°C/W
(derating and maximum power dissipation are based on
minimum PCB copper and indicate worst case).
Therefore:
TJ= 70 + (170 x 0.364) = +132°C
In this example, the die temperature is below the
absolute maximum allowed temperature. It is unlikely
under normal circumstances that the maximum die
temperature will be reached, however it is possible if
tolerances of VCC, RL, input voltage etc. are consid-
ered and the ambient temperature is high.
Changing the above example to a single video load on
each output results in:
TJ= +112°C
PCB Layout Recommendations
To help with heat dissipation, connect the power and
ground traces to large copper areas. Bypass VCC to
GND with 0.1µF and 1.0µF capacitors. Surface-mount
capacitors are recommended for their low inductance.
Place traces carrying video signals appropriately to
avoid mutual coupling. When AC-coupling the inputs,
place the capacitors as close as possible to the device
and keep traces short to minimize parasitic capaci-
tance and inductance. For a recommended PCB lay-
out, refer to the MAX11501/MAX11502 evaluation kit
datasheet.
