General Description
The MAX4090 3V/5V, 6dB video buffer with sync-tip
clamp, and low-power shutdown mode is available in
tiny SOT23, SC70, and µDFN packages. The MAX4090
is designed to drive DC-coupled, 150Ωback-terminated
video loads in portable video applications such as digi-
tal still cams, portable DVD players, digital camcorders,
PDAs, video-enabled cell phones, portable game sys-
tems, and notebook computers. The input clamp posi-
tions the video waveform at the output and allows the
MAX4090 to be used as a DC-coupled output driver.
The MAX4090 operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V sup-
ply and consumes only 6.5mA of supply current. The
low-power shutdown mode reduces the supply current
to 150nA, making the MAX4090 ideal for low-voltage,
battery-powered video applications.
The MAX4090 is available in tiny 6-pin SOT23, SC70,
and µDFN packages and is specified over the extend-
ed (-40°C to +85°C) and automotive (-40°C to +125°C)
temperature ranges.

Detailed Description
The MAX4090 3V/5V, 6dB video buffer with sync-tip
clamp and low-power shutdown mode is available in tiny
SOT23 and SC70 packages. The MAX4090 is designed
to drive DC-coupled, 150Ωback-terminated video loads
in portable video applications such as digital still cams,
portable DVD players, digital camcorders, PDAs, video-
enabled cell phones, portable game systems, and note-
book computers. The input clamp positions the video
waveform at the output and allows the MAX4090 to be
used as a DC-coupled output driver.
The MAX4090 operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V sup-
ply and consumes only 6.5mA of supply current. The
low-power shutdown mode reduces the supply current
to 150nA, making the MAX4090 ideal for low-voltage,
battery-powered video applications.
The input signal to the MAX4090 is AC-coupled
through a capacitor into an active sync-tip clamp cir-
cuit, which places the minimum of the video signal at
approximately 0.38V. The output buffer amplifies the
video signal while still maintaining the 0.38V clamp volt-
age at the output. For example, if VIN = 0.38V, then
VOUT = 0.38V. If VIN = 1.38V, then VOUT = 0.38V + (2 x
1V) = 2.38V. The net result is that a 2V video output
signal swings within the usable output voltage range of
the output buffer when VCC = 3V.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX4090 features a low-power shutdown mode
(ISHDN = 150nA) for battery-powered/portable applica-
tions. Pulling the SHDN pin high enables the output.
Connecting the SHDN pin to ground (GND) disables
the output and places the MAX4090 into a low-power
shutdown mode.
Applications Information
Input Coupling the MAX4090
The MAX4090 input must be AC-coupled because the
input capacitor stores the clamp voltage. The MAX4090
requires a typical value of 0.1µF for the input clamp to
meet the Line Droop specification. A minimum of a
ceramic capacitor with an X7R temperature coefficient
is recommended to avoid temperature-related prob-
lems with Line Droop. For extended temperature opera-
tion, such as outdoor applications, or where the
impressed voltage is close to the rated voltage of the
capacitor, a film dielectric is recommended. Increasing
the capacitor value slows the clamp capture time.
Values above 0.5µF should be avoided since they do
not improve the clamp’s performance.
The active sync-tip clamp also requires that the input
impedance seen by the input capacitor be less than
100Ωtypically to function properly. This is easily met
by the 75Ωinput resistor prior to the input-coupling
capacitor and the back termination from a prior stage.
Insufficient input resistance to ground causes the
MAX4090 to appear to oscillate. Never operate the
MAX4090 in this mode.
Using the MAX4090 with the
Reconstruction Filter
In most video applications, the video signal generated
from the DAC requires a reconstruction filter to smooth
out the signal and attenuate the sampling aliases. The
MAX4090 is a direct DC-coupled output driver, which
can be used after the reconstruction filter to drive the
video signal. The driving load from the video DAC can
be varied from 75Ωto 300Ω. A low input impedance
(<100Ω) is required by the MAX4090 in normal opera-
tion, special care must be taken when a reconstruction
filter is used in front of the MAX4090.
For standard video signal, the video passband is about
6MHz and the system oversampling frequency is at
27MHz. Normally, a 9MHz BW lowpass filter can be
used for the reconstruction filter. This section demon-
strates the methods to build simple 2nd- and 3rd-order
passive butterworth lowpass filters at the 9MHz cutoff
frequency and the techniques to use them with the
MAX4090 (Figures 1 and 4).
2nd-Order Butterworth Lowpass Filter Realization
Table 1 shows the normalized 2nd-order butterworth
LPF component values at 1rad/s with a source/load
impedance of 1Ω.
With the following equations, the L and C can be calcu-
lated for the cutoff frequency at 9MHz. Table 2 shows
the appropriated L and C values for different source/
load impedance, the bench measurement values for
the -3dB BW and attenuation at 27MHz. There is
approximately 20dB attenuation at 27MHz, which effec-
tively attenuates the sampling aliases. The MAX4090
requires low input impedance for stable operation and
it does not like the reactive input impedance. For R1/R2
greater than 100Ω, a series resistor RIS (Figure 1)

Table 1. 2nd-Order Butterworth Lowpass
Filter Normalized Values
MAX4090
between 20Ωto 100Ωis needed to isolate the input
capacitor (C4) to the filter to prevent the oscillation
problem.
Figure 2 shows the frequency response for R1 = R2 =
150Ω. At 6MHz, the attenuation is about 1.4dB. The
attenuation at 27MHz is about 20dB. Figure 3 shows
the multiburst response for R1 = R2 = 150Ω.
3rd-Order Butterworth Lowpass Filter Realization
If more flat passband and more stopband attenuation
are needed, a 3rd-order LPF can be used. The design
procedures are similar to the 2nd-order butterworth
LPF.
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
appropriated L and C values for different source/load
impedance and the bench measurement values for
-3dB BW and attenuation at 27MHz. The attenuation is
over 40dB at 27MHz. At 6MHz, the attenuation is
approximately 0.6dB for R1 = R2 = 150Ω(Figure 5).

Sag Correction
In a 5V application, the MAX4090 can use the sag con-
figuration if an AC-coupled output video signal is
required. Sag correction refers to the low-frequency
compensation for the highpass filter formed by the
150Ωload and the output capacitor. In video applica-
tions, the cutoff frequency must be low enough to pass
the vertical sync interval to avoid field tilt. This cutoff
frequency should be less than 5Hz, and the coupling
capacitor must be very large in normal configuration,
typically > 220µF. In sag configuration, the MAX4090
eliminates the need for large coupling capacitors, and
instead requires two 22µF capacitors (Figure 6) to
reach the same performance as the large capacitor.
Bench experiments show that increasing the output
coupling capacitor C5 beyond 47µF does not improve
the performance. If the supply voltage is less than 4.5V,
the sag correction is not recommended for the
MAX4090.

Layout and Power-Supply Bypassing
The MAX4090 operates from single 2.7V to 5.5V sup-
ply. Bypass the supply with a 0.1µF capacitor as close
to the pin as possible. Maxim recommends using
microstrip and stripline techniques to obtain full band-
width. 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 compo-
nents 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.
