INDUSTRY'S FIRST VIDEO SIGNAL CONDITIONERS WITH AGC AND BACK-PORCH CLAMP-TO-GND
SUNNYVALE, CA-May 18, 2004-Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX7450/MAX7451*/MAX7452 family of complete front-end, standard-definition video signal conditioners. Each device restores the DC level of the AC-coupled video input, corrects for amplitude variations up to ±6dB, detects fault conditions, and filters out-of-band noise. These devices optimize the video input-signal quality for further video processing through a crosspoint switch or a video decoder. They compensate for cable loss or initial amplitude variations from various video sources. The MAX7450/MAX7451/MAX7452 are ideal in security and other video-switching applications where the camera input connects to the video switch matrix.
This family of video signal conditioners operates from ±5V (MAX7450), ±3V (MAX7451), and +5V (MAX7452). The MAX7450/
MAX7451 set the output blanking level of the video signal to GND using a back-porch clamp approach. The MAX7452 features a user-adjustable back- porch clamp level ranging from 1V to 1.5V. Each device integrates an input video clamp, automatic gain control (AGC), loss-of-sync detector, and an out-of-band lowpass filter (fc = 10MHz). An external pin adjusts the output buffer gain between +6dB or 0dB to drive either a 150Ω video load with a full 2Vp-p video signal or a 1Vp-p video signal. These devices also feature an AGC disable function.
The MAX7450/MAX7451/MAX7452 are low-cost, high-performance replacements for standard discrete components and op-amp-based AGC circuits. They are available in a tiny 8-pin SO package and operate in the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Prices start at $1.49 (1000-up, FOB USA).
