General Description
The MAX9546/MAX9547 differential interface chipset
converts single-ended voltages to differential voltages for
transport and then converts back to single-ended volt-
ages. These devices eliminate costly, bulky, single-
ended coaxial cables with inexpensive, readily available,
differential shielded (ScTP) or unshielded (UTP) twisted
pairs. The fault detection of the MAX9546 and loss-of-sig-
nal detection of the MAX9547 allow proactive and
speedy diagnosis, such as identifying failures in the man-
ufacturing stage and troubleshooting equipment at repair
facilities. The MAX9546/MAX9547 are low-cost, conve-
nient solutions for transporting CVBS/FBAS analog video
signals (PAL or NTSC) through hostile environments.
The MAX9546 driver converts the single-ended input into
a differential output with a 6dB fixed gain to drive a back-
terminated, DC-coupled differential video output to unity
gain. This DC connection allows the detection of a short-
circuit condition at the differential outputs. The FAULT
output indicates a short-circuit condition including a short
to a high battery condition (V
BAT
= +16V) or ground.
The MAX9547 receiver converts the differential signal
from the MAX9546 into a single-ended signal. Like the
MAX9546 output, the MAX9547 input survives a short to
a high battery condition or ground. The MAX9547 receiv-
er loss-of-signal output (LOS) operates by detecting the
H-Sync and thus can support both monochrome and
color video signals. The MAX9547 gain is set with an
external impedance between ZT+ and ZT-.
The MAX9546/MAX9547 operate from a 7.5V to 10V
single supply. Both devices include ±15kV ESD Human
Body Model (HBM) protection. The MAX9546/MAX9547
are offered in a thermally enhanced 8-pin SO package
and specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended tem-
perature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1: The Absolute Maximum Ratings of OUT+/OUT- for the MAX9546 and IN+/IN- for the MAX9547 are based on a single-fault
condition, i.e. only one output of MAX9546 (or both outputs together) is shorted to the battery, V
CC
or GND. The devices will
not survive a double-fault condition, i.e. OUT+ and OUT- shorted to different supplies.
Note 2: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a 4-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations see www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial
