MAX9516

The MAX9516 features an internal reconstruction filter that smoothes the steps and reduces the spikes on the video signal from the video digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The reconstruction filter typically has ±1dB passband flatness of 7.5MHz, and 46dB (typ)attenuation at 27MHz. The input of the MAX9516 can be directly connected to the output of a video DAC. The MAX9516 can detect the presence of a video load and report a change in load through the LOAD flag. This feature helps reduce overall system power consumption because the video encoder and the MAX9516 only need to be turned on when a video load is connected. The MAX9516 also features a transparent input sync-tip clamp, allowing AC-coupling of input signals with different DC biases. The MAX9516 has an internal fixed gain of 8. The input full-scale video signal is nominally 0.25VP-P, and the output full-scale video signal is nominally 2VP-P. Operating at 1.8V from a single power supply, the MAX9516 amplifies standard-definition video signals and only consumes 6mW quiescent power and 12mW average power. The MAX9516 leverages Maxim's DirectDrivetechnology. Combining DirectDrive with the external positive 1.8V supply, the MAX9516 is able to drive a 2VP-P video signal into a 150load. The MAX9516 has the ability to detect and report the presence of a video load and reduce power consumption when the load is not present. If no load is connected, the MAX9516 is placed in an active-detect mode and only consumes 31W. Maxim's DirectDrive technology eliminates large outputcoupling capacitors and sets the output video black level near ground. The charge pump injects so little noise into the video output that the picture is visibly flawless. DirectDrive requires an integrated charge pump and an internal linear regulator to create a clean negative power supply so that the amplifier can pull the sync below ground.
