General Description
The MAX4397DA/SA dual SCART switch matrices route
audio and video signals between an MPEG encoder
and two external SCART connectors under I
2
C control,
and meets the requirements of EN50049-1, IEC 933-1,
Canal+, and BSkyB standards.
The video and audio channels feature input source selec-
tion multiplexers, input buffers, and output buffers for rout-
ing all inputs to selected outputs. The MAX4397DA audio
encoder input is differential DC-coupled, while the
MAX4397SA audio encoder input is single-ended AC-cou-
pled. Except for the MAX4397DA’s audio encoder input,
all other inputs and outputs are AC-coupled with internal
DC-biasing set to predefined levels.
The MAX4397DA/SA provide programmable gain control
from +5dB to +7dB in 1dB steps for Red, Green, and
Blue component video signals. All other video outputs
have a fixed +6dB gain. Additional features include an
internal Luma and Chroma (Y/C) mixer that generates a
Composite video signal (CVBS) to supply an RF
modulator output and internal video reconstruction low-
pass filters with passband ripple between -1dB and
+1dB from 100kHz to 5.5MHz. The MAX4397DA/SA TV
audio channel feature clickless switching and program-
mable volume control from -56dB to +6dB in 2dB steps.
The VCR audio output also has programmable gain for
-6dB, 0dB, or +6dB. The device also generates
monaural audio from left and right stereo inputs.
All audio drivers deliver a 3.0V
RMS
minimum output.
The MAX4397DA/SA operate with standard 5V and 12V
power supplies and support slow-switching and fast-
switching signals. The I
2
C interface programs the gain
and volume control, and selects the input source
for routing.
The MAX4397DA/SA are available in a compact 48-pin
thin QFN package and are specified over the 0°C to
+70°C commercial temperature range.
