MAX4141
_______________General Description
The MAX4141 is a wideband 330MHz, 700V/µs 4x1
multiplexer optimized for high-definition, broadcastquality, composite (HDTV, NTSC, PAL, SECAM) video
switching arrays. The device includes four open-loop
buffer amplifiers with a 0.1dB gain flatness of 150MHz,
and enable and switch-control logic. The MAX4141
operates from ±5V supplies and features differential
phase and gain error of only 0.01°/0.01%. The ultra-low
switching glitch (less than 13mV) is positive to avoid
confusion with any sync pulses.
Ideal as a building block for large switch arrays, the
MAX4141 features a constant, high input impedance
and a disable function that puts the output into a highimpedance state and reduces the operating current to
only 250µA. The open-loop architecture allows the output to drive capacitive loads without oscillation.
Other key features include -66dB crosstalk (30MHz),
-74dB isolation (30MHz), less than 10mV offset voltage,
and a 110MHz full-power bandwidth (1.4Vp-p). The
MAX4141 is available in a 14-pin narrow SO package.

_______________Detailed Description
__________Applications Information
The MAX4141 video switch is manufactured with
Maxim’s proprietary complementary bipolar process
that yields high bandwidth and low capacitance. To
maintain a wide bandwidth, the MAX4141 incorporates
a straightforward structure of input and output buffers.
Make-before-break switching is employed to reduce
noise and glitches, even when switching from part to
part in large arrays. The input buffers provide a constant, high input impedance. And, they prevent the
make-before-break action from feeding back to the
input and causing noise and/or glitches.
The design of the switching mechanism limits the
inevitable glitch to within 13mVp-p. In addition, the
glitch pulse is positive to avoid confusion with any negative sync pulses.
Unity-gain output buffers isolate other inputs from the
switching action of large multiplex arrays. These buffers
can drive 5kΩ resistive loads. Load capacitance is limited only by system bandwidth requirements.
The MAX4141 does not contain buffer latches. The digital inputs control the switch transparently.
Grounding, Bypassing,
and PC Board Layout
6
In order to obtain the MAX4141’s full 330MHz bandwidth,
Microstrip and Stripline techniques are recommended in
most cases. To ensure your PC board does not degrade
the switch’s performance, it’s wise to design the board
for a frequency greater than 1GHz. Even with very short
runs, it’s good practice to use this technique at critical
points, such as inputs and outputs. Whether you use a
constant-impedance board or not, observe the following
guidelines when designing the board:
• Do not use wire-wrap boards, because they are too
inductive.
• Do not use IC sockets. They increase parasitic
capacitance and inductance.
• In general, surface-mount components have shorter
leads and lower parasitic reactance, and give better
high-frequency performance than through-hole components.
• The PC board should have at least two layers, with
one side a signal layer and the other a ground plane.
• Keep signal lines as short and as straight as possible. Do not make 90° turns; round all corners.
• The ground plane should be as free from voids as
possible.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
330MHz, 4x1 Precision Video Multiplexer
Bypass Components—Capacitors
Electrolytic and tantalum capacitors are available from
0.1µF to over 300µF, but have resonant frequencies
below 1MHz. Ceramic capacitors are highly recommended and are available to 1µF, with the smaller values having resonant frequencies to almost 1GHz. The
less expensive capacitors are constructed using a
multilayer approach; high values are available, but resonant frequencies beyond a few hundred megahertz
are not, because of the inductive effect of the multiple
layers. More expensive, solid dielectric microwave
porcelain/ceramic capacitors are available up to
1000pF with resonant frequencies beyond 20GHz. In all
types, resonant frequency depends on capacitor value,
voltage rating, and physical size; the larger the capacitor, the lower the resonant frequency.
We recommend ceramic surface-mount/chip capacitors. Placement of bypass capacitors on the PC board
is critical, and the smaller chip capacitors allow placement as close to the part as practical. The smaller,
higher frequency capacitors should be placed as close
to the chip as possible, with the higher-value capacitors placed farther away.
Creating Large Arrays
The MAX4141 was designed as a building block for
large arrays. The high-power drive required for internal
cable drivers has a negative effect on crosstalk and
increases system power consumption. Figure 1 shows
an 8x1 multiplexer circuit.
Even though the MAX4141 drives capacitive loads, you
may want to limit the number of switches connected
together to maximize bandwidth. The MAX4141 has a
finite input capacitance of about 3pF and a dynamic
output resistance of about 20Ω. This causes a pole at a
little more than 2.6GHz. However, in a large array with
many switch inputs, the total capacitance is (N x 3pF),
where “N” is the number of switches connected in parallel. The pole will be located at:
1
(
)
2π × N × 3pF + C STRAY × 20Ω
MHz
where CSTRAY is the stray capacitance from the interconnect.
If the maximum number of switches that may be connected while still maintaining bandwidth is less than
your system requirements, use a unity-gain buffer
amplifier to isolate the switch from the remainder of the
inputs.

MAX4141
On Maxim’s evaluation kit, the ground plane has been
removed from areas where keeping the trace capacitance to a minimum is more important than maintaining
ground continuity. For example, the ground plane has
been removed from beneath the IC to minimize pin
capacitance.
The signal input line is approximately 0.103 inches
wide to minimize inductance and to provide a constant
50Ω impedance path. It is terminated by a 50Ω chip
resistor.
