• Manufacturer Part Number: MAX4397
• Description: Audio/Video Switch For Dual SCART Connectors
• Manufacturer: MAXIM [Maxim Integrated Products]

The DC level at the video outputs is controlled so that
coupling capacitors are not required, and all of the
video outputs are capable of driving a DC-coupled,
150Ω, back-terminated coax load with respect to
ground. Since some televisions and VCRs use the hori-
zontal sync height for automatic gain control, the
MAX4397 accurately reproduces the sync height to
within ±2%.
The MAX4397 supports the IEC 933-1, Amendment 1,
tri-level slow switching that selects the aspect ratio for
the display (TV). Under I
MAX4397 sets the slow-switching output voltage level.
Table 1 shows the valid input levels of the slow-switch-
ing signal and the corresponding operating modes of
the display device.
Two bidirectional ports are available for slow-switching
signals for the TV and VCR. The slow-switching input
status is continuously read and stored in the register
0Eh. The slow-switching outputs can be set to a logic
level or high impedance by writing to registers 07h and
09h. See Tables 8 and 10 for details.

The VCR or MPEG decoder outputs a fast-switching
signal to the display device or TV to insert on-screen
display (OSD). The fast-switching signal can also be
set to a constant high or low output signal through the
I
through writing to register 07h.
The MAX4397 includes an on-chip mixer to produce

present.
RF_CVBS_OUT output pin. The circuit sums Y and C
signals to obtain the CVBS component. A +6dB output
buffer drives RF_CVBS_OUT.
The encoder DAC outputs need to be lowpass-filtered
to reject the out-of-band noise. The MAX4397 inte-
grates the reconstruction filter. The filter is fourth order,
which is composed of two Sallen-Key biquad in cas-
cade, implementing a Butterworth-type transfer func-
tion. The internal reconstruction filters feature a 6MHz
cutoff frequency, and -35dB minimum attenuation at
27MHz. Note that the SET pin is used to set the accura-
cy of the filter cutoff frequency. Connect a 100kΩ resis-
tor from SET to ground.
All audio inputs for the MAX4397S are single-ended
and are AC-coupled. The MAX4397D audio inputs are
singled-ended and AC-coupled except for the audio
encoder input, which is differential DC-coupled.
The audio block has three stereo audio inputs from the
TV, the VCR, and the MPEG decoder SCART. Each
input has a 100kΩ resistor connected to an internally
generated voltage equal to 0.23 x V
encoder input of the MAX4397D, where the DC bias is
fixed externally.
