Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX496 and MAX497 are quad, closed-loop, ±5V video buffers that feature extremely high bandwidth and slew rate for both component video (RGB or YUV) and composite video (NTSC, PAL, SECAM). The MAX496 is a unity-gain (0dB) buffer with a 375MHz -3dB bandwidth and a 1600V/µs slew rate. The MAX497 gain of +2 (6dB) buffer, optimized for driving back-terminated coaxial cable, features a 275MHz -3dB bandwidth and a 1500V/µs slew rate. The MAX496/MAX497 are not slewrate limited, thus providing a high full-power bandwidth of 230MHz and 215MHz, respectively.

The MAX496/MAX497 incorporate a unique two-stage architecture that combines the low offset and noise benefits of voltage feedback with the high bandwidth and slew-rate advantages of current-mode-feedback.
