General Description
The MAX7472/MAX7473 triple-channel anti-aliasing filters and buffers with triple-input mux are ideal for high definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) television (TV) applications. Compatible with 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i scanning system standards as well as computer format signals, the MAX7472/MAX7473 support component video (Y PB PR, GsBR, and RGBHV) as well as composite (CVBS) and S-video (Y/C).
The MAX7472/MAX7473 limit the input bandwidth for anti-aliasing and out-of-band noise reduction prior to digital conversion by an ADC or video decoder. The frequency response of the MAX7472/MAX7473 can be continuously varied in 256 linear steps from below SD response to beyond HD response through an I2C interface. The adjustable cutoff frequency allows filter optimization for sampling rate and noise reduction. The MAX7472/MAX7473 also include 3:1 multiplexers for selection of three complete sets of video inputs through the I2C interface.
