MAX468CPE+

Overview

The MAX468CPE+ is a dual-channel triple video buffer manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features a 16-PDIP package with through-hole mounting. The device operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7V to 12V or dual supplies of ±2.7V to ±6V. It provides a -3dB bandwidth of 300MHz and includes bidirectional signal handling with break-before-make switching characteristics.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel architecture providing independent buffering for three video signals per channel
• High-speed performance with 300MHz bandwidth for video applications
• Bidirectional signal flow capability with break-before-make switching

Applications

• Video multiplexer and demultiplexer circuits
• 1:1 video switch circuits
• Professional video buffering systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CPE+ against the official datasheet to confirm the PDIP-16 package and commercial temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in current documentation. Check for obsolescence notices from Analog Devices, as older Maxim products may have limited availability or end-of-life status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency video signal integrity is required with low distortion. Ensure the power supply constraints fit within the 2.7V to 12V single or ±2.7V to ±6V dual range. Consider the 16-pin DIP footprint for prototyping or legacy board designs requiring through-hole assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX468 family of video buffers. It is distinct from the MAX4609 and MAX4668 analog switches which serve different switching functions. The MAX468 series is specifically engineered for video signal processing rather than general-purpose analog switching.
