MAX9526AEI+

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Overview

The MAX9526AEI+ is a low-power video decoder that converts NTSC or PAL composite video signals to 8-bit or 10-bit YCbCr component video compliant with the ITU-R BT.656 standard. It features an internal 10-bit, 54MHz analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling at four times oversampling. The device operates on a single 1.8V supply for digital and analog sections, with digital I/O supporting +1.7V to +3.45V. It includes a DC restoration circuit, automatic gain control, and an integrated analog anti-aliasing filter. The unit functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 28-pin QSOP package.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Feature Summary

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free packaging specifications prior to integration. Ensure the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature rating. Check current availability as automotive-grade components may have restricted supply chains.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Selection Notes

Select this model when automotive-grade operation from -40°C to +125°C is required. Choose the 28-pin QSOP package for surface-mount applications requiring this specific footprint. Ensure system design supports the 1.8V core voltage and compatible I/O voltage levels between 1.7V and 3.45V. Verify that the application requires ITU-R BT.656 compliant YCbCr output.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Part Context

The MAX9526 series comprises low-power, high-performance NTSC/PAL video decoders designed for automotive and consumer electronics. The AEI+ variant specifically denotes the automotive qualification level and the 28-pin QSOP package configuration. This part belongs to the broader MAX9526 family which also includes TQFN package options.

Encoders, Decoders, Converters Replacement Considerations

MAX9526ATJ+ serves as a pin-compatible alternative utilizing a 32-pin TQFN package instead of the 28-pin QSOP form factor.
