Anti-Aliasing Filters
Features
The MAX7469/MAX7470 triple-channel, anti-aliasing filters and buffers are ideal for high-definition (HD) and
standard-definition (SD) television (TV) applications.
Compatible with 1080i, 720p, 720i, 480p, and 480i
scanning system standards and computer format signals, the MAX7469/MAX7470 support component video
(Y Pb Pr, GsBR, and RGBHV), as well as composite
(CVBS) and S-video (Y/C).
Continuously Variable Anti-Aliasing Filter
5MHz to 34MHz in 256 Steps
The MAX7469/MAX7470 limit the input bandwidth for
anti-aliasing and out-of-band noise reduction prior to
digital conversion by an ADC or video decoder. The
MAX7469/MAX7470 frequency response can be continuously varied in 256 linear steps through an I2C* interface from below SD resolution to beyond HD resolution.
The output buffers of the MAX7469/MAX7470 drive a
2VP-P video signal into a standard 150Ω load. The inputs
are AC-coupled, and the outputs can be either DC- or
AC-coupled. The MAX7469 has a gain of 0dB, and the
MAX7470 has a gain of +6dB. Both devices are available
in a 20-pin TQFN package and are fully specified over
the 0°C to +85°C upper-commercial temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX7469/MAX7470 are complete video anti-aliasing solutions, ideal for fixed-pixel HDTV display technologies, such as plasma and LCD, which digitize the
input video signal and then scale the resolution to
match the native pixel format of the display. With a software-selectable corner frequency ranging from 5MHz
to 34MHz, the MAX7469/MAX7470 support both SD
and HD video signals, including 1080i, 720p, 720i,
480p, and 480i. Higher bandwidth computer resolution
signals are also supported.
Integrated lowpass filters limit the analog video input
bandwidth for anti-aliasing and out-of-band noise
reduction prior to sampling by an ADC or video
decoder. By allowing the corner frequency to be adjusted from below SD resolution to beyond HD resolutions
in 256 linear steps, the filter’s corner frequency can be
optimized dynamically for a specific input video signal
and the sampling frequency of the ADC or video
decoder. For applications requiring a passband greater
than the maximum frequency setting, a filter bypass
mode is also provided.
An I2C interface allows a microcontroller (µC) to configure the MAX7469/MAX7470s’ performance and functionality, including the clamp voltage, the filter corner
frequency, the sync source (internal/external), filter
bypassing, etc.
The Typical Operating Circuit shows the MAX7469/
MAX7470 block diagram and typical external connections.
Sync Detector and Clamp Settings
The MAX7469/MAX7470 use a video clamp circuit to
establish a DC offset for the incoming video signal after
the AC-coupling capacitor. This video clamp sets the DC
bias level of the circuit at the optimum operating point.
The MAX7469/MAX7470 support both internal and
external sync detection. Selection of internal vs. external
detection is achieved by programming the command
byte (see Table 3). After extracting the sync information
from channel 1 (or an external sync: SYNCA, SYNCB, or
SYNC), the MAX7469/MAX7470 clamp the video signal
during the sync tip portion of the video. Select one of
two possible clamp levels according to the input signal
format. Use the low level when the input signal contains
sync information, such as a Y (luma) or CVBS signal.

Use the high level for bipolar signals, such as C (chroma) or Pb/Pr. See Table 1 for more details.
Component/Composite Selection
The MAX7469/MAX7470 accept component or composite inputs. When configured for composite video
inputs, the color-burst filter is enabled; if configured for
component video inputs, the color-burst filter is disabled. This filter is separate from the main filter and not
in the direct signal path so that it has no effect on the
overall frequency response. With normal video signals
and levels, the use of this color-burst filter has a negligible effect on the sync detection. It has a more significant effect under conditions of low-signal amplitude
coupled with higher relative amplitude color burst.
External Sync Detection (EXTSYNC)
When filtering a video signal without embedded sync
information, such as computer formats (RGBHV) with
separate sync signals, use the external sync mode (see
Table 3) and apply the horizontal sync source to the
EXTSYNC pin. The sync detector determines when the
clamp circuit is turned on.
The MAX7469/MAX7470 are able to detect positive or
negative polarity external syncs with TTL logic levels.
Use the I2C interface to program the polarity of the
external sync signal.
Filter
The internal video filter delivers an optimized response
with a steep transition band to achieve a wide passband along with excellent stopband rejection. In addition, the filter is optimized to provide an excellent time
domain response with low overshoot.
Setting the Filter Frequency
Use the I2C interface to vary the frequency response
(-3dB cutoff frequency) of the filter in the MAX7469/
MAX7470 from less than the SD passband to beyond the
HD passband in 256 linear steps. Write command byte
12h to access the frequency register, followed by an 8-bit
8
data word that corresponds to the desired frequency. See
the Frequency Register section for more details.
The frequency set by the MAX7469/MAX7470 is the
-3dB point. Set the frequency according to the desired
flat passband response.
Optimizing the Frequency Response
Select the frequency response according to the resolution
of the video-signal format. High-definition signals require
higher bandwidth, while standard-definition signals
require less bandwidth. The actual bandwidth contained
in the video signal is a function of the visual resolution of
the signal. This bandwidth is typically less than what is
indicated by the format resolution (1080i, 720p, etc.). For
more information, see Maxim Application Note 750:
Bandwidth Versus Video Resolution, which is available on
www.maxim-ic.com.
The frequency response can be optimized to improve
the overall performance. It is important, at a minimum, to
meet the Nyquist criterion. Beyond this, the frequency
response can be further optimized. In oversampled systems, the sample rate is significantly more than the
desired passband response. The extra frequency span
between the passband and the sample rate contains
noise and other undesirable interferers that can be eliminated by setting the corner frequency of the filter to just
pass the desired bandwidth. This results in a higher signal-to-noise ratio of the overall system.
Filter Bypass
The MAX7469/MAX7470 offer selectable filter bypassing that allows the input video signals to bypass the
internal filters and reach the output buffers unfiltered.
Write the appropriate command byte to enable (0Eh) or
disable (0Fh) filter-bypass mode as shown Table 3.
Output Buffer
Each output buffer can drive a 2VP-P signal into a 150Ω
video load. The MAX7469/MAX7470 can drive a DC- or
AC-coupled load. Output AC-coupling capacitors can
be eliminated when driving a cable, thereby eliminating
the normal adverse effects caused by these large
capacitors, such as line, and field-time distortion, also
known as droop. The output DC level is controlled to
limit the DC voltage on the cable so that the blanking
level of the video signal is always less than 1V, meeting
digital TV specification. See the Output Considerations
section for more information.
Gain Options
The MAX7469 features an overall gain of 0dB, while the
MAX7470 features an overall gain of +6dB. Use the
MAX7470 when driving a back-matched cable and the

Output Clamp Level
The MAX7469/MAX7470 output can be DC- or ACcoupled. The nominal output clamp level in the
DC-coupled case depends on the clamp voltage setting and can be determined according to Table 2.
Table 2. Output Clamp Level
CLAMP SETTING
OUTPUT CLAMP LEVEL (V)
Low
1.0 (typ)
High
1.6 (typ)
As shown in the Sync Detector and Clamp Settings
section, the low clamp level is used for signals with
sync information and determines the voltage level of the
sync tip, while the high clamp level is used for signals
without sync information and sets the blanking level.
The absolute voltage level of the output signal is relative to the output clamp level. A video signal containing
sync information (i.e., CVBS or Y) is unipolar above the
clamp level and conversely, a video signal without sync
(i.e., Pb Pr or C) is bipolar around the clamp level.

The MAX7469/MAX7470 include a power-down mode
that reduces the supply current from 180mA (typ) to 1mA
(typ) by powering down the analog circuitry. The I2C
interface remains active, allowing the device to return to
full-power operation. The clamp settling time (see the
Electrical Characteristics section) limits the wake-up time
of the MAX7469/MAX7470. After exiting the power-down
mode, the MAX7469/MAX7470 resume normal operation
using the settings stored prior to power-down. The
power-down and wake-up modes are controlled through
the command byte (see Table 3). A software reset sets
the control/status register to its default conditions, but
the frequency register is not affected.
Power-On Reset (POR)
The MAX7469/MAX7470 include a POR circuit that
resets the internal registers and I2C interface to their
default conditions (see Tables 4, 5, and 6).
Serial Interface
The MAX7469/MAX7470 feature an I2C-compatible, 2-wire
serial interface consisting of a bidirectional serial-data line
(SDA) and a serial-clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate
bidirectional communication between the MAX7469/
MAX7470 and the master at rates up to 400kHz.
The MAX7469/MAX7470 have a command interpreter
that is accessed by writing a valid command byte.
Once a command byte is written to the MAX7469/
MAX7470, the command interpreter updates the control/status register accordingly. See the Control/Status
Register section for more information. The command
interpreter also controls access to the frequency register through a command byte (see the Command Byte
(Write Cycle) section).
The MAX7469/MAX7470 are transmit/receive slave-only
devices, relying upon a master to generate a clock signal. The master (typically a µC) initiates data transfer on
the bus and generates SCL.
A master device communicates to the MAX7469/
MAX7470 by transmitting the proper address (see the
Slave Address section) followed by a command and/or
data words. Each transmit sequence is framed with a
START (S) or REPEATED START (Sr) condition and a
STOP (P) condition.
The SDA driver is an open-drain output, requiring a
pullup resistor (2.4kΩ or greater) to generate a logichigh voltage. Optional resistors (24Ω) in series with
SDA and SCL protect the device inputs from high-voltage spikes on the bus lines. Series resistors also minimize crosstalk and undershoot of the bus signals.
Bit Transfer
Each SCL rising edge transfers 1 data bit. Nine clock
cycles are required to transfer the data into or out of the
MAX7469/MAX7470. The data on SDA must remain stable
during the high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in
SDA while SCL is high are read as control signals (see the
START and STOP Conditions section). When the serial
interface is inactive, SDA and SCL idle high.

MAX7469 when driving an ADC or video decoder with an
input range the same as the input to the MAX7469. For
added flexibility, the MAX7469 accepts input signals with
twice the standard video-signal range, which can be
used for driving an ADC or video decoder with an input
signal range that accepts a larger signal swing. The
MAX7470 can also be used to drive an ADC or video
decoder when a gain of two is desired.

START and STOP Conditions
A master device initiates communication by issuing a
START condition, a high-to-low transition on SDA with SCL
high (Figure 2). The master terminates transmission by a
STOP condition (see the Acknowledge Bit (ACK) and NotAcknowledge Bit (NACK) section). A STOP condition is a
low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high (Figure 2).
The STOP condition frees the bus. If a repeated START
condition is generated instead of a STOP condition, the
bus remains active. When a STOP condition or incorrect
address
is
detected,
the
MAX7469/
MAX7470 then ignore all communication on the I2C bus
until the next START or REPEATED START condition,
minimizing digital noise and feedthrough.
condition occurs in the same high pulse as a START
condition (Figure 3). This condition is not a legal I2C format; at least one clock pulse must separate any START
and STOP conditions. The MAX7469/MAX7470 discard
any data received during a data transfer aborted by an
early STOP condition.
Repeated START (Sr) Conditions
An Sr condition is used to indicate a change in direction of data flow (see the Read Cycle section). Sr can
also be used when the bus master is writing to several
I2C devices and does not want to relinquish control of
the bus. The MAX7469/MAX7470 serial interface supports continuous write operations with (or without) an Sr
condition separating them.
Early STOP Conditions

Slave Address
A bus master initiates communication with a slave device
by issuing a START condition, followed by the 7-bit slave
address (Figure 5). When idle, the MAX7469/MAX7470
wait for a START condition, followed by their slave
address. The serial interface compares each address bit
by bit, allowing the interface to power down and disconnect from SCL immediately if an incorrect address is
detected. After recognizing a START condition followed
by the correct address, the MAX7469/MAX7470 are
ready to accept or send data. The least significant bit
(LSB) of the address byte (R/W) determines whether the
master is writing to or reading from the
MAX7469/MAX7470 (R/W = 0 selects a write condition,
R/W = 1 selects a read condition). After receiving the
proper address, the MAX7469/MAX7470 (slave) issue an
ACK by pulling SDA low for one clock cycle.
The MAX7469/MAX7470 slave address consists of 5
fixed bits, A6–A2 (set to 10010), followed by 2 pin-programmable bits, A1 and A0. The most significant
address bit (A6) is transmitted first, followed by the
remaining bits. Addresses A1 and A0 can also be driven
dynamically if required, but the values must be stable
when they are expected in the address sequence.

MAX7469/MAX7470
Acknowledge Bit (ACK) and Not-Acknowledge Bit
(NACK)
Successful data transfers are acknowledged with an
acknowledge bit (ACK) or a not-acknowledge bit
(NACK). Both the master and the MAX7469/MAX7470
(slave) generate acknowledge bits. To generate an
acknowledge, the receiving device must pull SDA low
before the rising edge of the acknowledge-related clock
pulse (ninth pulse) and keep it low during the high period
of the clock pulse (Figure 4). To generate a NACK, the
receiver allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising
edge of the acknowledge-related clock pulse (ninth
pulse) and leaves it high during the high period of the
clock pulse. Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for
detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer happens if a receiving device is busy or
if a system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the master should reattempt communication at a later time.
The MAX7469/MAX7470 generate an acknowledge bit
when receiving an address or data by pulling SDA low
during the ninth clock pulse. When transmitting data
during a read, the MAX7469/MAX7470 do not drive
SDA during the ninth clock pulse (i.e., the external
pullups define the bus as a logic-high) so that the
receiver of the data can pull SDA low to acknowledge
receipt of data.

Command Byte (Write Cycle)
A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a
START condition followed by 7 address bits (Figure 5)
and 1 write bit (R/W = 0). After successfully receiving its
address, the MAX7469/MAX7470 (slave) issue an ACK.
The slave recognizes the next byte after a successfully
received address as the command byte (Table 3).
Use the command byte to configure the MAX7469/
MAX7470. While most of the commands listed in Table
3 modify the functionality of the MAX7469/MAX7470,
some commands prepare the device for further data
transfers (see the Control/Status Register and
Frequency Register sections). If the write cycle is prematurely aborted, the register is not updated, and the

Applications Information
Input Considerations
Use 0.1µF ceramic capacitors to AC-couple the inputs.
The inputs cannot be DC-coupled. The internal clamp
circuit stores a DC voltage across the input capacitors
to obtain the appropriate output DC voltage level.
Increasing the value of these capacitors to improve linetime distortion is not necessary due to the extremely low
input leakage current yielding a very low line-time distortion performance.
The MAX7469/MAX7470 provide a high input impedance to allow a nonzero source impedance to be used,
such as when the input is connected directly to a backmatched video cable, ensuring the external resistance
determines the termination impedance.
Output Considerations
The MAX7469/MAX7470 outputs can be DC- or ACcoupled. The MAX7470, with its +6dB gain, is typically
connected to a 75Ω series back-match resistor followed by the video cable. Because of the inherent
divide-by-two of this configuration, the blanking level of
the video signal is always less than 1V, which complies
with digital TV requirements.
The MAX7469, with its 0dB gain, is typically connected
to an ADC or video decoder. This can be a DC or AC
connection. If a DC connection is used, ensure that the
DC input requirements of the ADC or video decoder
are compatible.
If an AC connection is used, choose an AC-coupling
capacitor value that ensures that the lowest frequency
content in the video signal is passed and the line-time
distortion is kept within desired limits. The selection of
this value is a function of the input impedance and,
more importantly, the input leakage of the circuit being
driven. Use a video clamp to reestablish the DC level, if
not already included in the subsequent circuit.
The outputs of the MAX7469/MAX7470 are fully protected
against a short-circuit condition either to ground or the
positive supply of the device.
Power-Supply Bypassing and Layout
Considerations
The MAX7469/MAX7470 operate from a single +5V analog supply and a +3.3V digital supply. Bypass AVDD to
GND with a 0.1µF capacitor and an additional 1µF
capacitor in parallel for additional low-frequency decoupling. Determine the proper power-supply bypassing
necessary by taking into account the desired disturbance level tolerable on the output, the power-supply
rejection of the MAX7469/MAX7470, and the amplitude
and frequency of the disturbance signals present in the
vicinity of the MAX7469/MAX7470. Use an extensive
ground plane to ensure optimum performance. The three
AVDD pins (pins 7, 9, and 11) that supply the individual
channels can be connected together and bypassed as
one, provided the components are close to the pins.
Bypass DV DD to DGND with a 0.1µF capacitor. All
ground pins (GND) must be connected to a low impedance ground plane as close as possible to the device.
Place the input termination resistors as close as possible to the device. Alternatively, the terminations can be
placed further from the device if the PC board traces
are designed to be a controlled impedance of 75Ω.
Minimize parasitic capacitance as much as possible to
avoid performance degradation in the upper frequency
range possible with the MAX7469/MAX7470.
Refer to the MAX7469/MAX7470 evaluation kit for a
proven PC board layout.
Exposed Pad and Heat Dissipation
The MAX7469/MAX7470 TQFN package has an
exposed pad on its bottom. This pad is electrically connected, internal to the device, to GND. Do not route any
PC board traces under the package.
The MAX7469/MAX7470 typically dissipate 900mW of
power, therefore, pay careful attention to heat dispersion. The use of at least a two-layer board with a good
ground plane is recommended. To maximize heat dispersion, place copper directly under the MAX7469/
MAX7470 package so that it matches the outline of the
plastic encapsulated area. Do the same thing on the
bottom ground plane layer and then place as many
vias as possible connecting the top and bottom layers
to thermally connect it to the ground plane.
Maxim has evaluated a four-layer board using FR-4
material and 1oz copper with equal areas of metal on
the top and bottom side coincident with the plastic
encapsulated area of the 20-pin TQFN package. The
two middle layers are used as power and ground
